New Townhall 8

[dragonx10101]

So I just reached Townhall 8 and I think I have a somewhat good idea of what I have to do. First, I'm going to bring all walls to level 7 and upgrade all new defenses/buildings to the Townhall 7 max equivalent. After that I'm going to upgrade mortars, wizard towers, archer towers, cannons, teslas, and air defenses in that order. With of course throwing my overflowing elixir storages at various troop and building upgrades. I've read around and I'm not going to bother upgrading Valkyries, but I'm going to get the BK to level 10 and everything else maxed. Though I was wondering, is it really worth upgrading past level 7 walls at Townhall 8? Should I just do those with my level 9 walls when I reach Townhall 9? The way I'm looking at it is I'm going to have several troops that are going to be maxed out and it will be a little bit easier to farm off storages instead of just mainly pumps/mines. I almost never push because I see it as a waste of precious elixir, and my storages are usually full with it. Sorry if I rambled on a little bit, I have a pretty bad headache and just wanted to ask a quick question about maxing. :P

do whatever you want. this is a game.

You're right this is a game. But here it's not the game it's the forum where questions are asked and (hopefully) answer, and where there is discussion.

You add to neither, should have kept quiet.

To the OP : Walls will be easier to do at TH8, if you play enough you can max your TH8 while doing your walls up to level 8 before having to go TH9.

How do you save elixir for upgrade?
I always find it hard at first because we have to upgrade lab, troops, de drill.

I've done upgrading lab. Upgrading arch to lv 5. And upgrading de drill to lv 3

Raiding a mid th8 with th7 troops is suicidal. While raiding th7 cant give me a decent amount of gold/elixir

Prevent to use spells and attack with a cheap army like barch or BAM

Do air defences before teslas, teslas start to take a very long time to upgrade at the higher levels.

At TH 8, I'd say that level 7 walls are good enough (depending on what league you are in). Personally, I recommend having at LEAST lvl 8 walls at TH 10 but preferably higher. So in answer to your question, no it isn't worth it. But before brining all your walls to lvl 7, build all the buildings you can have at TH 8.

[Antigravity]

I would do cannons before archer towers since they attack faster and take less time (1 day less than AT if I remember correctly).

I'd say air defenses should be done before teslas because teslas take forever. You can get a decent amount of level 8 walls done if you leave a builder available during tesla upgrades.

Other than that you have the right idea. Get new buildings up to par, max splash and barb king.

[WinterSoldier]

You want to do your spell factory, troop trainer, camps, etc first. Then you wanna make sure all your AD's are at least level 5. Then you wanna get them mortar cannons done with to scare away people with low level troops. get cannons to 9 i think?. The only attacks most people gonna come at you with is air attacks or attacks with giants with healers, or an over powered attack from some high town hall level dudes with level 6 troops. but with high lvl AD they healers and dragons will be scared. with dark purple or black walls with high levvel cannons giants will die quick. Then get some teslas to stop them wall breakers. for some reason a lot of people use a lot of those. they cost a lot of elixer so i dont use a lot of those especially since im doing troop upgrades. Then you want to get the elixer storages, barbarian king, maxed and unlock them DE troops
