TH9 - Mortars Priority

[sharonsym]

Before TH9, mortar is always a priority def upgrade...
sure, because it will 1 hit the next TH levels archers.

But what about Mortars lv.7 on TH9 ? Is it still priority as the Lv.6 already can 1 hit the strongest archers?

Please give your opinion here

As long as they are hitting any troops that take more than 1-shot to kill (which there are many different troops that fit this description), then they are an upgrade.

Beyond the math, they are a visual deterrent that help attackers click that 'next' button.

I don't think it is, mainly for the reason you listed. The wizard tower gets a huge boost, I am prioritizing those.

I wouldn't prioritize mortars - I upgraded two and noticed very little difference. Hogs often outrun them, and they can't hit balloons. So they might be an extra benefit for a mass giant attack, but not as helpful on a lot of standard armies. Make sure you've upgraded x-bows and clan castle first to take advantage of the huge hit point bonus - can slow those hogs down drastically.

I'm glad this question came up since I've started to think about what to upgrade once my new air def, wiz tower, arch tower and tesla is maxed on my th9. I think xbows is #1, then wiz tower to 7, maybe cannons as #3.

Spash is the priority always. WT and Mortars, just get them both up as soon as possible imo.

yep... I've already maxed my Wiz Towers and CC...

now I'm considering to upgrade either xbows, air def, or mortars

anyone else can give good reason to upgrade mortars other than to scare of attackers?

Funny how you have 162 level 9 walls already and still doesn't have level 7 motars!

I'd do the splash damage because in the end you will need them done anyway. They are relatively cheap and fast to finish too.

Every upgrade is a priority, there aren't just extra levels for defenses to waste your time. They have been implemented into the game for a reason.
