TH9 Problems

Well, TH9 is new for me. I just got it 5days ago, after get my th8 to maxed. Then, whenI got to th9 everything changes so dramatically. Every time I was looking for loot, and I got 350 k golds and elixirs, ppl attacked me when I went off, and grabbed 350k. Also I got harder opponents to attack.. Embarrassing.

So I need th9 players to help me about:
- What league does have good loots( dead bases mostly)
- How should I avoid th9 or th10 attackers that always attacked me
- Troops to upgraded first so I can have greater troops when farming

Thank you, that's all.

Seven Eleven
Clan: LV Skytrax [] Level: 94 [] Heroes: BK lvl 10, No AQ(Not yet) [] Base layout: farming [] TH9

I am currently farming as a TH9 in Crystal 2/3. As for the problem being hit by higher players, crystal seems to alright with plenty of snipers, but eventually they will stop hitting you once you get your xbows and upgrade a few things.

Hope this helps :)

IMO you are safe at Silver and Gold leagues. Just try to be online and attack 2-3 times before logging off.

Go to C3 and TH outside. Alot of dead bases and enough snipers there
In Gold1- lower people dont really snipe because the league bonus is low

^^. What he said was my experience at th9

I would powerfarm out both my Xbows level 1 and get out an Archer Queen. While all 3 sucks at level 1, they work great as scare tactic. You will scare away 70% of all attackers just by having them.

If you war I would strongly advise AGAINST getting xbows until your AQ is level 10. The reason being xbows dramatically increase your 'war weight' making you'll have far harder targets in wars.

I'd suggest hanging out low gold and using BAM for collectors, or gibarch
Upgrade your archers first, and get that archer queen ASAP. Do NOT get xbows if you war, get them later on, at least until the queen has her ability

I farm in the Gold leagues as a TH9 and have always done so for the most part. Right now I am trying out crystal 1 which is very similar to Gold once you level up your TH a bit. The fact is that until you get your xbows no TH9 will be intimidated by you so therefore a TH9 farmer will go for your storages. For now put your TH outside and stay in Gold, the range between the war zone that is silver and the pushers in crystal. Your best defense is to have them not even try at all. Once you level up your defenses a bit and especially once your xbows are done you will see a lot less people attacking you. Hope this helps.

I prefer to be in the masters league as the loot bonus is good and there are opportunities to snipe TH.

Upgrade your Giants asap, it is one of the biggest stat upgrades in the game.... lvl 6 Giants walk through TH8's like they have no defences. Just take a heal spell for when they are banging on a wall in front of a Wiz tower. Follow them up with Barch and you can 3 star almost any TH8, cheap and quick to build.

Thanks for all advices! I will try some of the good ideas, and thanks for helping :))

Yeah my alt/donating account is a reasonably low th9 (no xbows, for war) sitting just around 2k, in crystal, and I almost exclusively get sniped. I've been hit hard once in the last week, that's it. Idk about loot, never raid on that account, but if you push to Titan you'll never need loot again lol

Forget what Lurken said about getting your X-bows soon. As a new TH, it's all about upgrading that army.
After the lab is upgraded, make sure you have your builders going on all of your army camp upgrades. Clan Castle too. You want stronger troops and you want more of them.
Once your army is maxed out (at least mostly) then use your stronger, bigger army to raid for the resources needed for defensive upgrades. Take your time with this. Don't rush to get those fancy X-bows.

If you war a lot, get Queen to 10 before x bows.

I had full storages when I went to 9, made that initial noobie period easy.

Offense
Queen ( at least to level 10)
Giants to lvl 6
Archers to 6
Pekka hogs minion healer ( teams very nicely with Queen) balloons

Defense
Skull walls ( ain't nothin' sweeter than to see a TH9 with a ton of loot and purple walls)
Wiz towers
Tesla
Archer towers
Cannon
Giant bombs
Mortars

By far the best TH snipe place... I loved being there as an early TH9.

Yeah I agree with DaRT, I say do an 8.5 route.

Another vote for TH8.5 if war is something that is important to you. Also for war, concentrate on attack capability so lab, spell factory, cc, camps, and dark barracks are the main priority. Crystal 3 is probably best for looting - and do keep your TH outside.

Remember that in war it's your defenses that determine your match ups. More defenses means tougher opponents, especially x-bows. In farming it's your trophy count, not your league, that determines match ups. Achieving crystal 3 and then keeping your trophies in the low 1900's is your best bet.
