Rushing to TH9

Hi , i'm a TH8.
i ve
lvl 3 dragons
lvl 3 hogs(upgrading them to lvl4 currently)
lvl 2 Pekka ( gonna upgrade it after the hogs reach lvl 4)
spells are at lvl 4

i usually play wars for my friends ( we have a clan together )
only 1 of us have TH9 but he is inactive currently & the rest are 6 & 7 & 8.
i ve tesla 4 ( this week )
Archer Tower lvl 9
& the rest of the defensive is maxed.
I did only 60skulls .
I want to upgrade to TH9 so i can help my friends with TH9 troops ( like ballons 6 & Hogs 5 & Giant 6) ..

what do u think ?

considering your GG is 220 million since march I don't think you will be rushed for that long...you are playing a ton and will catch up.

No, finish maxing your th, walls included. If you rush to th9, you will be rushed, and instead of helping your clan mates, you will be hurting them, cause you guys will be matched up against harder clans

Sounds like a plan if you do NOT build your xbows or buy the new defenses until your war troops are maxed. Doing this, the matchmaking system will actually not treat you like a TH9, but rather as a high TH8 (and thus not necessarily matched with a TH9).

lol ^^ i'm a hardcore farmer :)
most of my gems wasted on boosts :cool:

Why take the loot penalty. Enjoy TH8 while you can, you can't go backwards. Work on your maxed (for th8) hog and gowipes in war. Then when you go to TH9 you'll be proficient in your war attacks and only need to learn variants of gowixx and loon attacks.

Why farm with 180 lower level troops, when you could do it with 200 higher level troops, one more spell, and bigger CC? Especially because it is easier to farm DE at th9 than 8. Why waste all that time at th8?

In that case, absolutely yes. Rush to th9. I completely maxed th8 and in all honesty it was a huge waste of time. The loot at th9 wasn't that big a difference.
Just whatever you do, do NOT rush to th10. It IS a difference when you get there and you WILL struggle.

I would max your spells and stuff like that, get the tesla to max. Don't worry abot walls. They don't matter a whole lot at the beginning of th9. I was the top player in my clan for a little while, maxe th8 defenses plus xbows, 80legos. Pulling in max def opponents with pink walls. They were happier to see me than i was to see them for sure.

What level is the clan, most of the troops you get at level 5 clan will be a higher level anyway. Which means that when you donate hogs and loons if they are level 5 they will be mad at level 5 clan. At that point you are good, if really want to help with wars stay at th 8'and keep upgrading everything.

thanks everyone for the infos . i ll stay for about 2 weeks as TH8 , then ill upgrade ^^

I think you will be doing your friends a big disservice for clan wars if you rush to townhall 9. If you are the top player on your map, you really can't have your troops behind the bases that you can destroy. The townhall 9 jump as far as farming is not as bad as it once was. Originally there were no townhall 10's so there wasn't abandoned townhall 10's to loot from and supercell has improved the loot at th9 in general. With that being said, farming at townhall 8 is the cream of the crop. I would stay in that zone as long as possible.

Don't do it you'll miss those easy th7 raids max everything
