ATTENTION TH8s Tip for you!

[airbaby23]

Just upgraded to TH9 guys and have some advice for all you TH8s who are getting excited about moving up. DON'T DO IT!!!! Dont read that "A premme journey" post and think "oh I can upgrade early" DO NOT UPGRADE TH, just don't do it. Do not upgrade until your TH8 is completely maxed. All skull walls, All max defenses (including teslas), all maxed troops(including spells and those troops you don't use), and all maxed barracks. The only thing that you can leave not max level is collectors and mines. The loot at TH9 sucks a$$ guys, its horrible. Remember those awesome collector raids for 300k+ loot? they are gone, you will be lucky to get raids with 200k loot. So take it from me, someone who did not max everything before upgrading and MAX YOUR TOWNHALL!!!

Do I really need level 2 valks or golems?

Oooh my goooood, some of these posts make me want to upgrade early just so I can prove to myself that people are babies about loot. Some of these posts are the biggest overreactions ever.

I'm gonna have to keep track of the raids I do for a season as TH 8 and a season when I finally get to TH 9
and see what the differences are math wise.

good luck to ya chief, and valks are not really necessary since they are so useless but I would do golems since you will need them for gowipe strat in late th9/th10

Just change your trophy count, it's that simple.

Also, loot has been terrible after the update, and that's not how it normally is.

I don't get all the complaints about loot. The loot you find varies based on your league and trophy level. I'm finding on avg 4-6 250k gold and elixir and 1k de raids a day. Today alone I've found at least 10 and was able to farm almost 20k de.

To the OP, you probably need to raise your trophy level. The loot isn't going to be the same for you against other th8's due to the penalty. However, go up against other th9's. Plenty of abandoned bases around. I accidentally hit "end battle" just before I put a troop down on an abandoned the base with 600k gold and elixir and 3k de as I was trying to figure out where to lure the AQ. Almost threw my phone across the room on that one

The loot is there...you just have to look. Might mean raising your trophy level a little.

Hmm. Town hall 9 is good for me. The loot is great.

I am new th9 as well and loot has been good to me. I am up and down the range of 1700-2000 range daily. Just hunting and raiding to do upgrades.

Have you seen PlayClashOfCLans's Let's Play? He gets tons of loot at TH9, even from TH8 bases!

Wait till sharonsym reads this lol BTW iI recommend going up a town hall if your splash defenses, walls, and farming troops are maxed. Maxing everything takes forever. Just farm it while you're waiting for your TH to upgrade
