New TH9 Adventures - Advice Needed

Hi guys, I come from a maxed TH8 (except for valks and goblins) and have 3 days into TH9 and going 8.5 since I’m in a back to back war clan, AQ going will be lvl 4 in 16 hours now, finding DE has been a bit easier than before but not that impressive yet imo.

Anyways I wanted to ask about a good trophy range, based on your experience and the fact that I won’t have farming troops up to TH9 cap in quite some time, I know and was told I should bully TH8 as I was farming them before getting to TH9 but it has been quite hard to find TH8 with good loot + I’m been matched with TH9s mostly, sitting in S3 atm the TH9 I found are either way to hard for me to tackle them or have like no loot, some of the have some DE 1K+ but little to none gold/elixir.

any tips or advices for how to farm more effectively? I’m currently boosting 2 raks: 8 WB, one queued with barbs the other one with archers, giants on the other 2 raks, BK and SF boosted (just heals) and if AQ is up I boosted as well. still I haven’t been getting tons of loot and the giants/heals are getting expensive :unsure:

Thanks all in advacne ;)

I'm an early th9 and have found pretty steady loot in gold 1 around the 1800-1900 range. If you are more focused on the gold/elixer then ditch the giants and healers and go straight Barch. If you want some of that dark stuff then bring along those giants with Barch and wallbreakers and spells. When I raid I either go for gold/elixer or dark separately depending on what upgrade I am aiming for. Hope this helps! Good luck

I am mid th9, and barch.
Max troops except for th except: healers, now dragons with the update, and valks.
defenses maxxed except for walls.

Trophy range? I've been as low as 1200 trophies and am currently around 2,000. Nice thing about crystal is that there are quite a few bases with decent loot (I look for over 150k of each when using barch) and the loot bonus is nice.

Barch in gold1 for easy lix and gold, you can do your early hero upgrades easily there. Gibarch in C2-3 for DE

In my opinion, don't waste time in Silver. I would go to Crystal and just use BAM. Lots of collector bases and snipes.

You can be successful anywhere from 1000-2600 trophies. There really is not a set place that will always have the best loot.
