I am TH8, I raid quite a bit using barch and I go for collector raids. One day when I was gathering loot for the builders about to free up I made 4 mil gold and 4 mil elixir in around 8-10 hours.
Would it be logical to get to TH9 now considering I'll be raiding a lot and I won't be attacked as much due to being online a lot? The archer queen will also help raids. Level 6 balloons will help with DE farming and level 6 barch will help too. Lava hounds can help for getting 3 stars in war.
Just need some input. Don't just say, "don't rush loot penalty!!" Because losing 10% is nothing when raiding TH8. If you normally get 250,000 you only get 225,000. The bonus of the archer queen for raiding and higher troops evens this out.
