I'm 2 days out from TH7 and everything is maxed except for AD (saving gold for remaining walls) and was wondering what most ppl start out with in TH7? I'm thinking about gemming the time off the upgrade with the few gems I have left because I'm impatient lol... Attached is my current base.
First off dont gem 2 days thats a cakewalk compared to the upgrades you will have later
when you get th7 build every thing that is new and try and get them to the current lvl of your defense and also upgrade the lab
then your priories should splash mortars then wizards and get your army camp to lvl6
and if you don't know how to farm learn because th7 is the sweet spot
Mortars, then Wizard towers, then Archers / cannons
In terms of troops: archers first, then whatever you like.
As for gems, i think the best use is to gems troops: its really important to get last bits of gold for expensive upgrade in one push. Also when you feel like playing you just wont enjoy waiting for army building. Thats the best use for gems by far imho.
