TH9, 3000 trophies (with video), what is your highest th9 trophy count

[shlomie]

once my th9 base is maxd,while my th10 is cooking,ill trophy push

not gonna use a single gem,and it will probably take weeks, but that's what we non-gemmers do...we wait.

Jeff can you PM me your GC so I can invite you? Much appreciated bro.

Sent lol, never had such a hard time getting into a clan

Hey Jeff! I have tried it and nearly reached 2800 during our recent clan's push. I am currently back to farming for a month to upgrade xbows and infernos. I am a brand new th10, so Def-wise, other than two lvl1 infernos and lvl 6 teslas, I am maxed th9. Off-wise, all my troops and spells are maxed th9.

The only reason I've been perhaps bit too critical of the gem usage in this particular instance is because it takes away skill's significance. I absolutely agree that people often take usage of gems as pivotal in reaching Master-Champion league, but it is far from being true. However, usage of gems most definitely provides an advantage in maintaining higher count of trophies in comparison to trophies obtained "naturally".

It's not easy getting to 3000-4000 with or without using gems, but most certanly it is MUCH harder reaching those highs gem-free. You simply do not have the buffer of making back lost trophies in a matter of minutes by gemming troops. Gem-free trophy losses are most painful as you have to wait 20min to 2-3 hours to build troops, find bases to attack and win enough to cover losses. Thus you have to be extremely careful and very thoughtful when attacking.

Yep, for sure it is easier with gems, no doubt, but it takes skill to win, not gems. i get a bit defensive of the gemmers side of things on the forums as there are not many of us here my goal is always to win with the cheapest army possible (which is a farmers mentality i think). I think that takes skill.

We all be there at some point Once people taste Master's and up, they will start using gems - I am sure

Again, I am a sub and follow your progress closely! You are definitely a person to look up too as many others use gems but get nowhere. Anyway, as I've said in my first post - i applaud your achievement...

Thanks! Yeah, I've been working hard to find the cheapest $/trophy strat lol. It's kinda my goal. Will try to go gemless soon!!!

With the achievement for champ (2000 gems i think) im hoping people at least try to do it, haha, hoping to see more th9's up here, would love some easy attacks

No offence, but if you are gemming troops, you can take th8 to 3000. Th9 offence wise isn't much different form th10, so while i applaud your efforts, i personally do not find this as a hard challenge. Try to take th9 to 3000 w/o gemmin troops. Possible but would actually take an effort. IMHO

TH8 to 3000??? I've never seen one. It is not easy even with gem.

My clan 1st rank has tried to reach 3000 for months but he even never reach 2800. He is TH10 and gemmer. Maybe he's not good I don't know... but I think reach 3000 is hard enough even for TH10 I think.

Good luck on your progress Jeff.
