From a very rushed TH7 to a 60% TH7, I’m ready for TH8!

[Width]

You're ready. Go for it. Do not wait to finish troops in the lab. That's such a waste of builder time.

lol, whatever dude

smart thing would be to enjoy th7 and max, its a great level to farm at

but if your ADHD takes over, then goto th8 and prepare to be hogged

Yeah, once walls are done it's time to move on. For what it's worth I did a write up on the issue:

So the overall mantra when giving advice is to max your entire base before upgrading town hall. I think it's a good general guideline for some people and FAR better than what most people do and rush to TH 9 with level 5 walls and level 4 splash damage, but I think it's still overly simplistic. I think this is a little better:

1.) Town hall 1-4: Defense really doesn't matter, you're going to get smashed by anyone who wants to do it, but it's not like you have a lot to steal. I'd say rush your way to level 5 after upgrading main farming troops.


2.) Town hall 5: Big doins here, you get an extra army camp and level three troops so you can do some serious raiding, it's a good idea to chill here for a while and either max your buildings or max your walls.


3.) Town hall 6: Probably going to be the most controversial one but rush right past it once you have leveled up your barracks, army camp and commonly used troops. At TH 7 you get an extra barrack, an extra army camp, level 4 troops and dark elixir, your offensive capabilities are through the roof and I think we can all agree TH7 is where the best raiding is at. Sure, you're going to be farmed to hell by TH8's but you can make it up easily and since you skipped past TH 6 you can keep gold low by dumping it into walls.


4.) Town hall 7: Stick around until you have either maxed all your buildings or maxed your walls.


5.) Town hall 8+: Same as TH 7, but do not upgrade until your weakest wall is level 7.


I'm a mid TH 9 with level 9 walls and a few level 10 that upgraded town hall as soon as I maxed my walls every time (and skipped TH 6), this strategy has worked great for me and I think it's acceptable to stop farming walls once you hit level 7 if you aren't dedicated enough. I have a second account that's also mid th 9 with level 7 walls and it holds up almost as well. I can also tell you that at least up to master 3 walls are rarely going to make a big difference since you'll mostly be hogged, looned or mass dragoned. Sure walls help with GoWiWi but if you aren't playing often enough to farm maxed walls you're probably not looking to push to champion league anyway.


The main thing to know though is if you don't max your walls at your current town hall you probably never will. I have a clan mate that can only play casually and it took him months after maxing TH 8 buildings to do level 8 walls. It worked for him but most people would be bored to tears doing this.

It's not a big deal to not max your th7 an dhte lvl 5 troops are nice for sure.

I would strongly recommend you get close to maxing th8. For some more details check out the link in my signature. It's got a bunch of good tips for th8

You are either lying, need to update your sig, or are a crazy gemmer. Beacuse in your sig it says your gg is 9 million just to upgrade your walls to max would cost 56,210,000

As I mentioned, I don't farm on poor TH6 anymore. I only do storage raids on TH7/8/9. So TH7 won't be a "good level to farm at". Thanks for the input though. cheers!

That's the plan! Can't wait for the next level walls and builders to upgrade! Thanks for sharing the nice guide

this...

Your loot from TH6 will reduced by 40% by loot penalty, that's better than you have full storage all the time and can't farm them for anything...

I believe those TH6 don't have any DE yet... and when you came into bases with DE, they should be TH8+.
You won't see any different DE loot as TH7/8/9 even 10 because big DE drills come from TH9/10.

if you upgraded earlier, you should already have half skull walls done and of course higher BK levels because farming DE is much more easier on TH8 with Lv.5 troops.

you've wasted your time and throttling your progress since your walls is maxed.

Don't worry, I did this too when I'm on TH7, and I was very upset when I come to TH8 and find out it's much better than waiting on TH7. That's why I create my thread and I hate max everything advice... Lol..

I figured I probably waste time, especially when raiding DE with full gold storage. I will start upgrading to TH8 tomorrow when one builder becomes available. Thanks!

Thanks for pointing that out mate. It should have been 95 million not 9.5 (miscounted one zero). 9.5 mil would be horrible lol
