What should I prioritize upgrading? #1 Premature TH10 here.

Thing is, I rushed to TH10 without thinking about why everybody didn't do it too. It was only a few weeks ago that I realized that a penalty existed (yay me). Now, I'm not looking for hate, as I never bought Gems, except to buy the builder huts but banter is accepted.

Help me decide what I should do with my base please! I am really patient and I don't struggle to get money through attacks and through farming.

The base in question:
Attachment 130488

The state of things (this bad):
Attachment 130487

Thanks in advance,
A noob clasher.

Progress - December 2015.

I have began warring, and using LavaLoon, I'm getting 3 stars against my mirrors, so I'm pretty happy with progress.
GG is now almost 200.000.000 (up from 7.000.000 in August), EE is at 175.000.000 (up from 5.000.000) and HH is at 500.000, up from 1k, lol.

I don't know if I will progress further because the update kinda killed farming for me. Oh well. It's been a good run.

Upgrade your walls, and get a real farming set up

If this was my base I would work on the following:

Buildings (in order, put extra gold into walls at the beginning):
Max storages (gold, elixir, and dark)
Max Army Camps
Max Clan Castle (I'm in a clan where donations are a-plenty)
Barracks/Dark Barracks
Then work on Wizard Towers
Air Defenses
Archer Towers
Cannons
Mortars
Teslas
Etc.


Lab:
Lvl 6 Barbs and Archers
Lvl 6 Giants
Lvl 6 Balloons
Lvl 5 Minions
Then war troops to your taste

If it were me, i would push up to crystal 1-2 and keep the TH out and get collector raids and TH pops for easy money.

You can do it :)

Thank you so much for the constructive criticism. I will prioritize the lab upgrades, I just came back from a long "rage quit".

I've always had my issues with the price of walls though, like, a couple of level 8 walls are not nearly as helpful as a level 2 inferno tower lol. I shall take you up on your advice though, and try to push for a full set of T7 walls at least, 200.000 gold is not hard to collect.

Thanks again, it's good to know that I'm not helplessly premature haha

Which would consist of?

Buuuuuuump

If you're a premature TH10, your BEST option for loot protection. Is prioritizing Infernos, then Xbows. Both are literally the CORE of your defense. Even with low level walls and defenses, full maxed Infernos/Xbows will greatly decrease the amount of people attempting to attack you.
While you focus in those, make sure your offensive capabilities are maxed. Since you're behind I'd recommend maxing either Archers or Barbs, followed by Giants. This will allow you to efficiently farm for a wide variety of loot of your choosing. After that start working on spells to further increase your offensive farming. Once you have maxed your farming comp, work on which ever higher tier troop of your choosing.

After you've maxed your Infernos/Xbows and are effectively farming time to start working on other stuff. Personally here is how I prioritize.

Xbows/Infernos
Splash damage(Wiz then mortars as Wiz have the ability to focus air and ground troops)
Unique defense(Air Defense and Teslas, priority is up to you)
Lastly point defenses (Archers first as again they target air and ground, and cannons last)

Assuming you have 5 builders this is how I would split them up.
Builder 1 for Gold Defensive buildings.
Builder 2 on Lab/Spell factory if not maxed
Builder 3 on Army camps if not maxed
Builder 4 on King/Queen
Builder 5 on walls.

Now if you're Lab, army camp or spell factory are maxed switch to this.
Builder 1 Core defense/Splash defense
Builder 2 on on unique defense
Builder 3 on DE Pumps/Storage
Builder 4 on Hereos
Builder 5 still on walls.

Also, giving your self a goal helps tremendously. Like (working on maxing all of one defense) best of luck too ya.

I've seen much worse TH10s ^^

I completely agree with the poster above me

Wow. A well thought and serious answer, I had lost my faith in humanity long ago but here you are, actually helping!!

What you said makes absolute sense, I will work on infernos and xbows (which are kind of the reason why i rushed to TH10).

Thanks so much for the insight!!

You're most welcome. Also noticed that your DE pumps are maxed, I'd swap the use of that builder to maxing your CC. Due to the fact that not only is it great defensively but can also be a huge help when farming.
Another side note, maxing your WB will also greatly improve your ability to farm because Max level WB can 1 shot L8 walls. Giving you a lot easier access into their base and yummy loot. So something like
Archers/Barbs followed by Giants/Wall breakers. Both are up to you, as to which is more important. All based on personal preference.
