New TH 9 (Need Tips)

Hey guys, im a new TH9 in about 4 hrs and im very excited. I know there are alot of threads here about this but its too tiring to backread them all. So im just gonna ask some tips what to upgrade first. I have only 4 builders and am working on the fifth. I have full gold/elixir storages and about 62k DE.

So basically, this is what most of you say
builder 1: lab --> ??
builder 2: spell factory --> ??
builder 3: queen --> ??
builder 4: ???

Is xbows really a priority for a new th9? I heard someone say dont build xbows first because it gets your number higher in war.

Thanks in advance! :D

builder 1: xbow
builder 2: xbow
builder 3: spell factory + queen
builder 4: lab

RULE offensive > defensive


i will be th9 in 1d12h, in my opinion lab>spels fact>queen>cc (5 troops to keep golems and lavas¡) > camps

xbows wont help you to farm

xbow
xbow
queen
spell factory


So what if it pushes you higher in war, do you not want the extra protection for your loot?

Agreed

Offense is first.

B1 spell
B2 LAB
B3 one DE Drill lvl4,5,6 (IMO it is vitally important)
Sooner or later you will complete all builder upgrades and researches. But your heroes will not be lvl30 unless you focus on DE. So de drills is the first priority.

B4 Queen -> walls -> new towers/storages lvl1 which have less than 1 day to complete -> queen lvl2

B5 one X-bow

If you have 4 builders leave X-bow

imho, focusing SOLELY on offense is kinda selfish (clan war wise, not saying it's bad though :p)

but if you're gonna go offense first (assuming you're from maxed TH8)
for builders that is:
Lab
Camp
Clan Castle (goes both ways def and off)
Heroes
Spell Factory
L5 and L6 Dark Barracks
I think that's all...

with heroes aside that's 71 days (for a single builder)
DIRECTLY dividing that to 4 builders that's ~18 days
to 5 builders, that's ~15 days

not too shabby, you'll get your Offensive buildings up and running after 15 days (directly divided) and you could focus on the defenses after that (also going this route, most of the elixir upgrades are gone, that means your elixir will be focused on your walls now)

builder 1 - xbow [7 day 3mil gold]
builder 2 - xbow [7 day 3mil gold] [your 6m worth of TH8 maxed loot done
builder 3 - spell factor upgrade
builder 4 - lab upgrade
builder 5 - archer queen instant 40k de upgrade.. then concentrate on a new structure.

xbows alone scare most barchers off usually... imo which falls behind infernos.

Don't do x-bow if you are in a good war clan. They increase your base's weight so much.
Rush lab,cc, sf, camps imo is the most efficient. For the guys sayin g it's selfish, you prefer have a new th9 with th8 attacks who get destroyed by an other new th9 and attacks th8, or a th9 with th8 defense but good attack who get destroyed by an other new th9 but attack th9?

Nearly everyone in this forum says that you should upgrade
X-bow (x2)
Lab
Spell Factory
AQ lvl 2 ( 1 is instant)

Please give me tips on how to farm the 6mil gold and elix and 62,500 de and how long did it take and other misc details like which resource did you prioritize first, how long did gold/elix/de took and rates of each resource per hour.

Pretty please :D

Thanks for all the inputs, appreciate it. After some thinking i think im gonna go Lab>spell factory>then im gonna use the 2 builders to make new defences, then proceed to AQ and 1 Xbow. I wish this setup is ok.

farming gold/elixir is easy especially if your a max th8 (max def,full skulls,BK10) which i did. Mostly just go for snipes. As for DE, it is a grind at TH8. You just have to get used to it. Key for me is to attack efficiently. If you can achieve 50% without using all troops cancel it. Hope that helps :)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Offence before any defense imho.

CC and camps (all 4) before any x-bow. And of course the obvious stuff like spell fac and lab. DE drills are important too. The early stages of TH9 are a serious drain on lix...

My alt just went to 9
I have only 3 builders for a bit, so I went like this;

B1 AQ-> Lab. (it will finish 2mara will do) ->Camp-> Camp
B2 SF-> (it also will finish 2mara will do) -> Camp-> Camp or Dark Rax to unlock Witch and Hound in Lab

B3 did all the walls and WT,AT,A/Def, Tesla, both storages.. but currently on CC duty. will do camp next depending on what is available.

After camps max Ill do the Xbows and raise the levels of the new additions and Storages

X-Bows are a real nice addition to the defenses, but I am a proponent of Full offensive access before defenses.

Defenses do not upgrade my base in any capacity, and War is optional anyhow. X-bows will draw tougher opponets in War too, so while Im still technically 'TH8' (200 troops and 3 spells, L5 troops etc) the lack of X-bows wont matter much,

Ill also upgrade my walls while im concentrating on doing the elixir upgrades..so Ill have low loot and the rest will be protected better than

as far as lab, Ill do my Hogs to L5 first so I can concentrate on maxing my camps and Dark Rax with Elixir, then Ill do Loons so I can have 2 viable War strats in the shortest time.. (and may push to masters for my 4th builder) from there Ill do Giants,Archers,Minions and be set to farm. for my attack preference style.


Good Luck monn

Very well said. Im gonna follow your advice. Maybe I'lI upgrade xbows 1 week after. Gonna do CC first then xbows.

I just upgraded to TH9 on Feb 20th and the big upgrades I've done so far are:

Laboratory (while finishing up minions research, only Goblins left to upgrade from TH8)
AQ to level 2 - Had a bunch of DE saved up from my TH9 upgrade time
Army Camps x2 - Working down my elixir reserves
Xbow #1 - Not sure if it was the best idea to get one quickly, but what's done is done.

With my 5th builder I'm just working through all of the other new buildings I got at TH9 trying to get them up to TH8 levels. I want to get my spell factory upgraded soon along with my Clan Castle. My biggest dilemma right now is to figure out what research I want to start next once my Laboratory is completed.

I would also Suggest not doing Xbows first. A level 1 Xbow is not all that better than an archer tower, for Gold upgrades, focus on your other defenses first, but I would recommend Army Camps and Lab as some of your first upgrades. In the end it all needs to be upgraded though, so it is not a huge difference. Something that helped me upgrade things without gemming, it to focus on 1 expensive upgrade at a time and try to fit the other ones in during the build time. So an Xbow plus a cannon and a tesla or something...

To Elanngomatt, Upgrade whichever troops you use the most, though if your builders are going to be tied up and you have a lot of DE I would say hogs and your other DE troops, if you mainly Barch or something then do Barbs Archers. The Advantage of doing Barbs is that they are cheap and you can keep moving on all of those Elixir upgrades, same with DE upgrades since they don't take any Elixir

Thanks for the advice. I have been mostly BArching so I'll probably upgrade Barbs first since it seems like the most bang for the buck of those two troops. Archers only gain 10% HP and DPS from lvl 5 to 6 whereas Barbs gain 15.7% and 13% for HP and DPS. I really want to get into another type of raiding (GiBArch w/ healer maybe) but I probably should just keep doing what I've been doing until I have my basic units upgraded.

Agree 100%

Builder 1: Camp
Builder 2: Camp
Builder 3: Spell Factory
Builder 4: Queen (instant), then Clan Castle

But before those, I would also recommend going ahead and getting all of the new structures since those are relatively quick (gold storage, elixir storage, traps, Archer Tower, etc.). Then concentrate on the longer upgrades above.

Also consider purchasing your 5th builder or try to push to Masters to get the gems for it. It will help a lot as an early TH 9.

I have been TH9 for 40 days, so I had this dilemma earlier.

Get the AQ. Get the spell factory. Get the lab going. These should be the first choices for most people.

Don't listen to the naysayers, get those x-bows. Each costs only 3 million and it will reduce the frequency of people attacking you for loot. Forget the drills for now. You need your builders and elixir elsewhere. Focus on camps and CC upgrade instead.

Offence > Defence, but only if you can handle the extreme elixir that this will demand sometimes.

EDIT: Don't forget your new buildings.
