Just telling my opinion. I respect your work, didnt mean to offend you.

Hey OP -- Thanks for putting the effort into this, it clearly took awhile and is a great idea. That being said, I disagree with your priorities at TH9, almost entirely. I also think that Teslas should be a huge priority at TH8, because their DPS is huge and they take FOREVER at TH8. I abide by the ABT (always be tesla'ing) from TH8 onward.

This is a marginal progression game, and however you can gain utility is how you should really be looking at upgrades.

For example, at TH9...

Archers are such a small upgrade and barbs are a huge upgrade. Loons are great, giants are great, but giants are rarely used for farming and/or for wars so they should only be upgraded if you plan on using them.

Troop upgrades are typically done if you want to be good at farming or wars.

For TH9 farming progression I would do the following:

1. barbs
2. loons
3. minions
4. archers
5. giants

For TH9 war progression I would do the following:

1. Loons
2. Minions
3. Hounds
4. Hogs
5. Golems
6. Witches
7. Valks

As for defense at TH9, WT and xbows should be the main priority. ABT, per usual (because you have a brand new shiny tesla!).

My priority:

1. Xbows straight to 3
2. WT
3. Tesla
4. Mortars
5. AD

Just my 2 cents, hope I helped!

The th9 and th10 upgrade orders are actually bad. Ildivolo pointed it out to help not only the guide, but the community.

for th9 : ballons to 6 is huge and so is barbarians. For defense, wizard towers are superior to mortars in th9 and should be done first.

For th10, the first troop should be lavahound to 3, its a power house if you war a lot. Also Freeze to max asap to help 3 star opponents in war.
for defense, maxed infernoes is good. I wouldnt max xbows next, its 8millon for 5more DPs. Teslas offer more damage for less cost and look beast. I would do ADs and wizard tower over mortar anyday since the meta is geared toward air attacks.

If you have level 3 or 4 minions, which you are able to get at TH8, then you should be fine throughout TH9 with those levels, as minions are mainly auxiliary units used for cleanup in war attacks (usually in very small numbers).
Hounds are very important at TH9, as are witches. Therefore I would place those nearer the front.

I agree with your farming defense upgrade progression; however, I disagree with it for more serious war players. Here is what I would do:

My priority:

1. Build Xbows
2. WT
3. AD
4. Tesla
5. Max Xbows
6. Archer Towers
7. Cannons
8. Mortars

This allows you to upgrade the most important war defenses while remaining lower in the ranks.
