I'm stumped on an upgrade choice...

So when I got my acct back from my bro like a month ago, I realized that the new upgrade max is lvl 12, which I don't have any pumps or mines maxed now. On the other hand, I am working on other defensive upgrades (mainly wiz towers and teslas). I only have 3 builders, so I kind of ran into a wall because those new pump upgrades cost a LOT! So should I do 1 pump and 1 defense at a time or what?

I upgraded all my collectors and mines asap, because every 24hr they generate me 500K of each resource. I'm a TH9.

This will help with future upgrades of defenses and lab/camps/etc.

Just take it easy, slowly upgrade defenses and every now and then do some pumps.

Defense first.

Im late th9 and my mines, pumps still not maxed
lvl 11 for all of them!!

Upgrade the pumps and mines... I always have 2 going (just got to TH8 and have 4 builders). It is by far a better choice over time if you calculate it out, just let trophy hunters destroy your TH occasionally and farm at your leisure.

As stated above I have just upgraded to TH8 and have a gold grab of 69519164 which is significantly higher than your posted amount. I sign on when I have spare moments but have never used a boost (want to get that 5th builder's hut as soon as possible). Upgrading collectors first is a huge improvement for just about anyone.

Ok, wow I'm an idiot. Disregard everything I said because apparently I cannot read.

They do accumulate more resources but they're cheap as hell. Come on 336k?! You can get that in 2 raids! I just let them be 11 because I was able to get enough for much more expensive upgrades. Now I'm upgrading them because I've got exams and no time to raid as often. They're good to keep your builders busy when ypu don't have much time.

Upgrade your mines and pumps first, it sounds like you are eventually going to do them. If you do your defenses first, you will not be able to use the boost that level 12 mines will provide.
