New TH9 journal. Need help maxing ASAP!

[ClasherJake]

Trust me, focus on gold upgrades. When you are in the late stages of th9 you will be sitting on full elixir storages all the time. Hero upgrades should be constantly going so when you finish maxing defences and lego walls they will be combined level 40+

For DE farming, 2300+ is an easy farming range and awesome for dark elixir.

P.s

Grind full skulls!

Thanks for the tip bro! Always appreciated greatly!

You're correct to a significant extent and it's taken me this long to even realise...
Just like TH8, further on I will constantly be sitting on a load of useless elixir...

For the time being I shall continue purchasing mainly gold upgrades, however I do wish to finish the remaining two camps and drills with time.

So glad you started this thread. I have a maxed out TH8 and just clicked the upgrade button today. Please let me know your progress.

My plan is to step into TH9 with fully storages and go:

1. Archer Queen
2. Upgrade Lab
3. Upgrade all new walls to pink
4. One x-bow
5. Dark Elixir Drill

and of course chip away at getting the storages, archer tower, air defense, wizard tower, tesla, and extra traps.

How many builders do you have? If you have 3-4 you could do your lab queen and save 1 for your new faster upgrades. That was the same plan that I had at th9 just had xbows building at once

I'm glad I have 5 builders.
If I had 3 I'd begin with instant and very fast builds like AQ, walls, AT. Then I'd start two big such as lab and Xbow and continue proceeding with the third builder.

Just my two cents.

Quick question for y'all.

In what trophy range should a TH9 farm?
What if it's for dark elixir?
What if it's wall grinding?

What if in my scenario and considering eventually pushing to masters for them gems?

Thanks!
P.S. I'll use search bar now xD

th9 farming range really depends on your xbow , AD and WT .walls do help ,1600-2200 range are easy for every th9.1600 being for the weakest and 2200 strongest(you can go higher up but you will encounter more th10 thus making you the weakest one especially 2500+ range)
dark elixir I find it easy in crystal 3
wall grinding is farming for level 10 walls because they are cost 3 million a piece. I wouldn't call level9 walls a grind because 1 million isn't that hard once you get used to th9 upgrades .my wall advice is that start them early on after your elixir upgrades you do 10 level 9 walls per week, this will help you alot as you won't need to farm them aggressively later on.if you plan to have high level heroes as a th9 then level 9 are a must

I have 5. I forgot you instantly get the archer queen when you first get her, so I went ahead and upgraded her to level 2 since my dark elixir with pretty full when I went to TH9.

My wife was out tonight so I sat down with boosted barracks and barched like crazy and nearly refilled my storages (gold and elixir), so I got the walls pretty close to all level 7 and went ahead and got 2 camps upgrading.

So right now I'm 3 days before a builder opens up, so I'll just have to hoard.

Deciding whether or not it's smart to get the lab going on Balloon6 or go ahead and be patient use that elixir on the last 2 camps.

(Don't mean to hijack OP's thread, hopefully he's OK with me letting me pace with him).

That's such a perfectly informative answer! Even at 5am in the morning with my head pulsating that's a real pleasure to read! So thanks! Again!

Please feel free to bounce ideas and questions off my thread, I don't mind one bit. If anything I'm glad to be of service and it helps me consider where I myself can improve.

Hijack? Nahhh - Teamwork!

My Barbarian are now level 6 and the hairy Giants have begun!
I would have upgraded Archers today, but well... I haven't really focused much on upgrading my new elixir storages, so simply couldn't hold that much elixir.

Either way, Barbs done, Giants pending, Archers next!
