[BH]Rushing to max

[Saleh47]

couple of questions for you all:

• what are your defence upgrade priorities?
• what are your thoughts on maxing one def (e.g. archer tower) vs keeping them all the same level?
• thoughts on getting BM to 5 vs researching more troops? now have max bdrags

- Air/ground, air splash, air, ground splash then ground

- As you go up with every defense the return on investment(gold & time) gets lower since the upgrade adds 10% of dps normally which as high as you go costs a lot more. So upgrading all to same level will affect your base better than maxing one defense

- Once you have one max troop that can get you above 3K then it is time to max your BM since any extra troop levels will go for something you might not use & if you use it will replace something you are using currently. Remember from main base the hero is always a priority

1.I like to prioritize defences that can target both ground and air. Mainly Barb Hut, Incinerator, Tesla and Archer Towers. I tend to neglect my cannons, or as I call them: my peashooters.

2. In my opinion it's always better to have all defences the same level as opposed to have one defence maxed before the others. If for instance I have one archer tower that is level 1, then that side of my base is going to be more vulnerable to attack. In BB all archer tower upgrades seem to be the same anyway (+5/10 dps and whatever health it gets).

3.It's really up to you but I would do BM to 5 after already having maxed one troop. BM is kind of a wild card and it's far from every time that he actually matters (in fact, he can often ruin raids if you depend on him).

Update from me:

Today I maxed BD's and I'm upgrading an elixir storage to max atm. Tonight my BM will start going to lvl 6. That's the plan anyway but it looks like I might have to start on a witch upgrade instead so as not to lose out on elixir overflowing.

Anyone else tired of getting the 20k elixir cost obstacles every single day? That's 4 hours worth of maxed collectors gone everyday, often for nothing and sometimes for a couple of gems. I wish there were more obstacles requiring gold instead of elixir to remove. Or just not so many expensive obstacles. Really tired of the weeds too.

- Air/ground, air splash, air, ground splash then ground

I would like to tell you, I'm at about 4000-4200 most times and I see lots of maxed archers, barbarians and bomber attacks. Also occasional maxed NWs. For all these attacks, a maxed mortar is nothing but a monster. (I've maxed it long time ago) It kills maxed archers in one shot, takes out bombers in a shot too and can take out barbarians real fast. Definitely helps with NWs. Coming over to Roaster, it gets better at lvl5 onwards otherwise doesn't make a lot of difference.

i would advice in this order
1.take all point defenses to lvl4 first since they cost very less
2.all splash defenses to lvl3
3.point defenses to max archtowers & double cannons asap.
4.now since ur base can hold on with 1 splash defense down for a 2 day upgrade, start doing them. roaster,airbombs,mortar in that order.

true but the strategy is to lure in ground attacks right into centralized traps with a low lvl mortar. and roaster is also very good against ground but it also defends against air as well.

I've only been bh6 for 2 weeks, and finally got up to 3100 cups level. I'm still able to organize all upgrades based on what will keep my builder busy throughout. My go-to troops are maxed, so I'm all focused on getting BM to 10. That will take 2 weeks.

BTW, anyone else loving using excel to project plan your BH? It's crazy, I have an outline of the plan based on how much resource I'm expecting and when the builder will be free. I got it planned where I will max BH6 at the end of September. That's one aspect of BH I'm having fun with. I can plan everything ahead and calculate when and what I want to upgrade.

wrt. maxing one defense, there's actually one defense that is best off maxed ASAP once you get over 3k and start seeing a lot of air armies. That is the firecrackers. A max firecracker just takes 2 volleys to kill a max minion, while an L2-L5 fc takes 3. That difference is huge and makes firecrackers first on the to-max list. Max FCs really mow down BDs much faster too, but being 33% faster at slaughetering minions for going from L5-L6 -> priceless.
Also, max fc upgrade is just 1 days so there's no painful 2-3 day slog waiting for them to finish.

Some questiona for you Saleh:
1. Did you use gems to cut short the cool down of loot bonus? Because you seems to be able to upgrade several defenses in a day or two.
2. If yes, what is the best timing to use the gems, or how much you normally spend?
3. You had some high level troops and max BM, but why only 1 max defense? Isn't better to max defense one by one (focus 1 defense to level 6 and then next) rather than spread out the defense upgrade (all to level 5).

This is just some discussion on upgrade priority, just want to know your view on your progress.

I've just upgraded minions to level 12 and started using them. Usually 2 camps of minions and 2 dragons. What a great improvment in comparison to mass dragons! Previously usually 1 star, now usually 2 stars without even using BM. I'm in trophy range 3500-3800.

Now I must learn when to use mixed air, when mass minions and when mass dragons.

re 3, it's all about damage and hit points gained per gold spent so, no, the most valuable upgrade is the first one and the return on investment gradually reduces as the levels increase
