Morning folks,
I am just in the process of upgrading from TH8 to TH9.
I have 3 days left to go and have maxed my gold, elix and DE (a tasty target I know).
My question is would you recommend buying a 2 day shield to not only preserve the maxed stoarges but to allow me to have full collectors when I start TH9?
I would hope this would allow me to get more of my walls done straight away at TH9 but 150 gems would maybe be better spent down the line boosting barracks.
Don't ask us, do what you want.
Hmmm but I am tempted to recommend not buying any shields... :rolleyes:
don't
just wait out your TH upgrade, and save those gems for boost
they will require effort, but it's a more efficient way of spending your gems
(if your rich and gem a lot though, you can shield, and boost after the TH upgrade :rolleyes:)
Extra info, I have about 1500 gems, as got my masters set so am not gem poor but I do not buy them.
IMO, just leave your TH outside and use your gems to boost your barracks as soon as your TH 9 is ready
^^^ definitely this. dont waste gems on a shield, especially if you dont buy them..Quote:

This way you can attack some more the next 3 days.
What else to do for 3 days??
- Watching your pritty full storages?
- rearanging bases?
- waiting for trees to spawn?
- something else then coc? nahhh
I have never bought a shield so no. There is good suggestions above.

I wouldn't, people seem happier to take a snipe than go for loot. Just a few days ago I was sat on full storages and was sniped 3 out of 3 times I was raided. Even if you are looted you should be able to regain the 300k or so you would lose fairly easily
I was recently playing in Masters league 3 and as you said I was always snipped immediately.Quote:

I think not buying shields and keeping my fingers crossed maybe the best option.
(Well either that or gem the TH complete so I can start now)....
The only time where it would be an option is when your going up to th 10. It's your choice though. A 2 day shield won't hurt.
Honestly I think it's worth taking the risk, I am a relatively new th9 (I think I can still say that, it's been under 3 months) so other th9 can still do a lot to my base and th10 shouldn't have a problem, yet they were still sniping when I had 8 mil of both gold and elixir and over 100k de.Quote:

Second time I skipped shield but dropped deep into silver for a while. Just as effective, but free. And there was decent loot there surprisingly, though not much DE.
Had a similar dilemma about a week ago and just decided to take the risk by letting the snipers take a ♥♥♥♥ at my TH. Had all storages full with drills and pumps going to near max with no builders available for walls or upgrades. Nearest builder was 3 days away so I figured all I needed was 6 snipers. 5 of 6 went for the TH, the other just grabbed 2000 DE from drills. I say a successful tactic that saved me gems for boosting barracks. Good luck. I appreciate It when players leave the TH outside so even if I can take the storages I just snipe out of respect.
