One of the most debated questions: Max or rush? (TH 9)

[llindvior]

I also think max'ed defenses and troops and legos and level around 15 heroes should be a basis. It's whether, you choose to max lava walls and also max heroes. It's because the latter choice is when you make the decision to let your builders go idle and lose total progression in the long run to 1) look better, and 2) push better. I don't think it affects farming significantly.

Very true! Hope you liked this!

Max all at TH9, except heroes and walls
At TH10 you get more DE because of the third drill, and stronger/more troops and spells.

I semi-rushed to TH 10 as well and I don't regret it. I mostly maxed out troops for town hall 9 already so I don't have any problem farming. I still find good raids, I just have to go higher up in trophies which isn't bad.

I would rather consider upgrading to TH10 If
- All Defenses on TH9 are fully maxed out.
- Workhorse Army has maxed out level on TH9.
- All Lv8 Walls OR 40 Walls Lv7 rest Lv8 at least, then upgrade them to Lv8 when the TH Upgrading.
- Barracks, SF and Camps Maxed Out
- BK and AQ at least lv 10.

I'm a maxed th9 besides the walls and heroes. I have 16 lava and I'm upgrading my heroes non stop. I figure by the time my heroes are levels 20 or 25 my lava walls will be complete. That's when I will go to th10

[FLGatorsEliteJu]

I figure I will probably lose interest in Clash (blasphemy ) before I get maxxed enough to go to TH 10.

There is no way I can deal with 1b in gold just for walls that can be ignored by 1/3 of the troops in the game, and still only repel a few wall breakers anyway. But I won't touch walls until all my troops, heroes, and defenses are maxxed. I've got quite a ways to go, though it's coming along quicker than ever thanks to all the good advice I've read here (love this place--if only I could get all my clannies to join... ).

The other reason I see for rushing a little is that at some point I'll have no use for elixir and it seems like a waste to sit at TH9 with my storages just overflowing. I (vaguely) remember a time at TH7 when I couldn't spend my loot fast enough, and it seemed like a tremendous waste.

Yes, but you're already reduce potential of 2/3 troops in the game : )

Being a defensive premie is not a bad thing like most people think. There is always someone out there who will 100% you if you dont get sniped.

Being a offence premie is a extremely bad thing and hard to recover from, as also mentioned th10 is just a defence TH so not worth rushing to.

Lab SF Army Camps and barbs and archers maxed is all you need before upgrading every TH till TH9 the top of the farming food chain.

At current rate due to my premie upgrading I will max out th9 fully walls/heroes included a few days before I finish doing defences.

I don't understand why we keep trying to give advice to players without considering their specific style of play. There isn't one right answer.
