Should i upgrade to TH9?

Hey, i could use some help

So... Im a TH8 almost maxed, all i have to do is:

125 walls to lvl 8(that means i have now have 100 walls that are lvl 8),
5x little bombs(1M each),
hog rider to lvl 4(40 000 busy keeping DE for it now),
valkyrie to lvl 2(50 000, i never used her),
golem(60 000 which i do use pretty often using gowipe)

Should i upgrade to TH9? I really want the queen and im not inspired to finish the walls or the lab upgrades.

And what should i upgrade first if i do upgrade my TH?

Lab,...

Thanks,

I went to TH9 with half skull walls and although the loot is fine as a TH9, I wish I had done them at TH8. And for the lab upgrade, do whatever troop you use to farm.

I think you can go ahead and go to th9 if the rest of your troops are all max upgraded than there is no problem.

Some may say that you need to finish your walls first but half skulled is good enough. Also Dark is easier to protect and to farm at th9.

And go for the queen ^_^

Byvtyat quickvresponse, you already made your choice and wanted only confirmation, not advice. If you wanted advice and waited for it, there'd be about a 50/50 split...the stronger skilled players advising to stay and grind out the last of your 8, the weaker flash in the pans wannabes advising to upgrade.

I'd advise to wait until you reach four objectives. All skull walls, all bombs traps etc upgraded, your De troops max'd ( with exception of Valk and Golem), and your gold and elixir max'd. During your upgrade time, refill the gold to max.

Here's why. Walls...skull walls hold attacker's a few seconds longer, you'll need those few seconds when strong 8s and 9s raid. Upgrades at 9 cost 3 million on up...so you'll be packing nice loot. When you upgrade walls to Legos...it's 1 million per. If you don't have skulls, it'll be 1.5. All the while upgrading that which you needed to just to be a weak rookie 9.

Troops and defenses. Anyone who goes to 9 without max'ing those is....in being kind...a fool. There's a lot of expensive stuff at 9...going in weak and spending just to catch up won't help

Max'd storages. Ummm....X bow is three million, the cannon cost 3.2 million, and they're the cheapest. You go to 9 with full storages, you're broke in a few days. It is nice to have both X Bows, your lab, spell factory, one major defense and level 6 giants almost immediately AND bringing the new stuff to decent levels as fast as possible. Kinda feels good being a progressing 9 instead of an 8 playing catch up.

But if you go to 9 as you seem to be determined before max'ing your 8... I'll enjoy your loot.

This is mostly incorrect, funny and downright insulting.
Hit the search button and check out SinofDusk, Morgauth, USCFTeeth and Sharonysms rush guides. There is also Unitysharps guide to maxing. Dont let the old testament players scare you into staying at th8 wasting elixir and not having fun. Its a game, not a olympic competition to prove you can max a base, even if wastes resources and isnt the most efficient use of time.

I just moved to TH9 a couple months ago. My advice would be to upgrade the golems before moving up if you plan to continue using them. There are so many other nice reseaches to do at TH9 that you'll keep putting off the leftover TH8 research. I don't think the walls are a huge deal but it would be good to keep working on them while the TH is upgrading. I think I got to TH9 with a little over half of the skull walls done. You do want to try to have a nice surplus of resources when you arrive at TH9 though so you can get your queen right away and start some other big upgrades right away. This is especially true with elixir since I think the best initial upgrades are all elixir heavy.

My advice on first things to upgrade are lab of course and spell factory. If you saved your DE during the TH upgrade you can get your AQ built right away. Then work on offensive upgrades like army camps and dark barracks (if you plan on using witches or lava hounds). I also initially worked hard to get the AQ to level 5 to unlock her cloak ability and to get the all of the new buildings to TH8 max before starting to upgrade to new TH9 levels.

I'm a little behind you, and I'm considering moving up there. I really want to get skull walls, but i'm worried I won't have enough time before ive maxed all my buildings and troops. (I'm 10 million gold from all purple.)

You are ready for th9.

Do this we need more easy targets.


Added bonus is you can come back to the forums and whine how every one looks down on you and takes your loot.
