Whats the minimum requirement for troops and defensive buildings before rushing TH9?

I have learnt from many forums that even a maxed out TH8s cannot defend well against a TH9 with archer queen and level 6 giants. So what is the minimum requirement before going to TH9? I am thinking of doing TH 8.5 because our clan does war non stop. Comment below!! ;)

Pekka level 3 drag level 3 golem level 2 . GiBarch level 5 . Your bk could use some love as well as your walls. Other than that you are set.

For war,
Defenses: No minimum requirement, but I advise teslas 6 and ADs 6 if you're warring

Troops: Hogs 4, heal 5, rage maxed, wb 5, barch 5, loons 5

Don't bother with pekkas or dragons, they are almost worthless in TH9. My alt still regrets to this day by having lvl 3 dragons, never used them since hogs turned lvl 3

Dont forget about Golems, they are used in most war strategies
Level 5 giants isnt really needed, but it would help you with farming (especially after you upgrade them to level 6)

I personally would say max out! That's what I did and it was fun to do so, now I am TH8.5 with my TH out and ppl get intimidated to attack me. I only get sniped I have full skull walls which becomes a bit challenging for casual raiders.

I agree with first 3 reply's to your post.

Another thing you might consider is asking your clan leaders this same question. They may ultimately be the most important people to ask.

Troops/spells:
MUST:
GiBarch 5
Golem 2
Hogs 4
Loons 5
Wizs 5
WOULD BE A GOOD THING:
Minions 4
Rage 5
Heal 5
Pekkas 2/3


Defenses:
level 6 ADs
level 6 Teslas
Max splash defenses


Walls:
level 8

They are, but their value is only when you need more than 1 in your army. When you're doing cb attacks, you only need a cc lvl 5 golem. You can bring your own second lvl 1 golem and still 3* most new-mid TH9s.

Yeah, giants are my personal favorite, but I realised not many people like or know how to how them, so they're optional especially for a war player

If you want to rush you must be a hardcore gamer otherwise you will not progress. But if you really insist on rushing I would say spend 14 days on TH8 ( Lab/ Barb 5/ Arch 5) then go to TH9. I've skipped TH8 like this and I have no regrets.

Max the troops u use and get BK to at least 6-7. Lvl 7+ walls are a must also.
