New to the forum, but I really would like advice on finishing recovering my rush

Alright, so, when I was about town hall 6 I got a bunch of gems, then, I saw hidden teslas and was like wow ! Then, I went to 7, so, then I saw I couldn't upgrade my dark elixir storage anymore. So, naturally, I went to 8, then, the WORST decision I've made in coc. I caught up a bit with th 8. But, then, I saw it :O THE ARCHER QUEEN

I wanted it and I wanted it right then. I figured I was ok and rushed to 9. AWFUL mistake. I have the archer queen to 5 now... But, it was an awful choice to rush. Now I'm at town hall 9 and, well I'm recovering decently I think... I have level 6 Giants, Barbarians, and Baloons. Maxed rage spells, and lava hounds. So, I can do lavaloonian and farm quite well.

But, I can't keep my loot that well. I go to school and freak out because I have 4.5 million elixir and lab is busy and all builders are as well. I need to know what to upgrade now... I'm at about 4 million gold. Which, is the most I've ever been in.

Farm twice a day, when your shield is going to run out, farm to overcome your losses...should take less than three raids. The nice thing about rushing you have plenty of low level defenses to dump gold on. (and walls)...Don't ever break your shield if you can't make up your losses. The main thing is to max out your offense (camps/CC/Spell factory/heroes/farming troops/ war troops) not necessarily in that order. Anyway, this is what rushing is all about, you can handle it, just manage your losses...

Bam or Barch in Gold II.

You lose 400k each per raid at worst, so put your town hall outside and hope people will snipe you. Most people will just snipe in crystal 1/2 ish but that's coming from a near max defenses th9

Upgrade your Air Defenses next. Focus on getting everything to max TH8 level before you do anything to TH9 level (except for offensive things and resources etc.)

Upgrade your BK with the DE maybe?
