Walls grinding while upgrading defenses at th9

Hi guys,
Tomorrow my th9 upgrade will be finally complete and I'm very excited for that because I read in a lot of threads that th9 is the best th in the game. I already prepared a spreadsheet for the upgrades I'm going to do in the first 30 days. If you'd like to see it I can post it. My upgrade order will be something like: cc+lab+sf+army camp+queen lvl1+2 and then I'll focus on camps and de drills because I wanna max my heroes. Enough rambling, so let's come to the point of this thread. How can I upgrade my walls while still upgrading my defenses and my heroes? (I'm gonna try to keep them constantly upgrading). So what strategy can I use? And did you have any experience with that strategy before?
Thank you, clash on!

I thought about doing a spreadsheet, but then I just decided to wing it. XD

Getting the correct balance between farming walls, heroes and defences can be very difficult. As you've probably worked out by now, heroes are the biggest time-consumers at TH9 taking about 20 weeks. That's 40 if you don't do both at the same time (which is quite difficult to do.)

So, you're obviously going to want to start working on your heroes ASAP. To farm gold and elixir for walls, I suggest barching in G1-C2 and then GiBarching once your giants and barbarians and archers are upgraded to level 6. This will allow you to take those juicy 350K storage raids from other TH9s! GiBarch and Barch are your best friends at TH9. They are quick and time-efficient, and BAM is always good too. Stay online for atleast an hour and make sure you always have a builder free to get rid of gold and elixir before logging off. Don't leave lots of loot in your storages unless you have to and are saving up for a big upgrade like the X-Bow level 3.

So, always take good DE raids you find, and gold and elixir should come by naturally. Remember, heroes take the longest to farm. Max all your troops and don't be afraid to spend atleast 6-12 months at TH9.

Always have one builder free and dump it on the walls, or your resources will just stack up and you wont be able to use it since you have no builders free. Worst case scenario it will be raided by other th9s or by th10s since you are new to th9 you are going to be easy target for loot.

Once heroes are both at 7 day upgrades space their build times 3.5 days apart, keep them both down if possible, keep 2 builders on defenses and keep one for walls because you'll have to raid still to get the DE for when your next hero finishes. Is that what you wanted or did you want to know league/raid info? If so, gold league for gold/elixir crystal for dark. Barch if in gold GiBarch if in crystal.

I'm not sure I would recommend grinding early. I sorta did, and now I'm faced with a problem. My wall grind outpaced my heroes- so I'm sitting as a maxed TH9 with 25/20 hero levels. I'm not moving to TH10 until I'm at least 25/25, so I'm just overflowing with loot now that I cannot use. My mistake was I just got out in front of my heroes a little bit, didn't plan it all out (having too much fun). Just be sure to factor that in.

Thank you all guys, very helpfull comments from everybody!

At first it will be very easy for walls when all your upgrades are at the beginning and are very short. The weird thing is eventually when you get your week long upgrades or higher you will find yourself with filled storages unless you have an idle builder. If you manage to keep both heroes going and 2 defenses going you will have plenty of extra resources left over for walls. Right now I have completed all the elixir upgrades so every time I get to a little above a million elixir I dump into walls. You don't need a spreadsheet or anything. If you wing it and farm say 3 million of each every day you will have plenty for walls. At least for legos. I've done the math and by the time I get to legos with my current rate I will be only doing like 2 legos a day unboosted while living a life as well. Anyways don't worry about it, if you have a free builder once your upgrades start taking multiple days you will have plenty to put in walls.

I can tell you from personal experience, DE is much more plentiful at TH10. Sitting at TH9 just to work on heroes with 250 lavas, idle builders/lab, and maxed upgrades with overflowing gold and elixir is a waste.

Correct. I'm not going to make that goal of 25/25 at TH9 I fear. I have a couple of bucket list items to check off, then will probably move.

I wound up maxing th9 defenses, caught up new defenses, did air d and wizards first maxed, then the rest. now im just cranking walls and heroes only. im about 85 walls left to get lvl 9. then imma crunch to lvl 10 until my heroes are maxed. once i max heroes, ill wait 2-3 days to let dark elix to build, and some resources up to save up and hit th10 maxed out on resources if i can, doing spells, camps, lab to get freezes up, and etc. but id save heroes and walls for last, maybe the occasional drop here n there to lessen loot up some.
