Laboratory research done before defenses
I'm a TH7 wondering if I should upgrade to TH8 because I have finished all the laboratory research except for minions and hog riders. I never use them and have a hard time getting dark elixir.
The defensive buildings I have remaining are 2 Archer Towers, 1 cannon, and 1 wizard tower. All of my walls are at least level 6 with about 1/3 being level 7. My barracks are maxed out. Elixir collectors and gold mines are level 7 and level 8. My Barbarian King is upgrading to level 4 right now.
Should I continue to work on maxing out my buildings or should I upgrade to TH8? I'll be able to finishes my defenses while waiting. Seems like a waste to stick around without being able to upgrade my troops.
Thanks!
It's all about the minions
At least get those minions up to scratch.......You will be thankful later on, when you have another couple of dark elixir troops to upgrade + your king...........I foolishly went to th9 with lvl1 minions and boy have I regretted it, spent 100,000 dark elixir having to get them to lvl5 which could have maxed out my witches, or my hogs and even given me a couple of other more expensive dark troops like the lava hound or golem......Thats not to mention at least 2 levels of my king or queen
Trust me at later levels minions will become your best friend
