TH9 Early Upgrades

[BetterThanYou]

Hello,
I have just started my upgrade to Town Hall 9 after maxing out Town Hall 8 completely besides for three of my level 9 barracks. I am not sure exactly how I will manage the early upgrades at Town Hall 9. I will put a list of how I am thinking right now. I do have five builders; just something to keep in mind.

1st builder: Lab
2nd builder: AQ> lvl 2 AQ/Army Camp
3rd builder: Spell Factory
4th builder: X-bow
5th builder: CC (after I get additional gold) or 2nd X-bow

If you could give me your opinion on this, it would be much appreciated. And also, if you could tell me what to do after first upgrades that'd be great!

Thanks,
BTY

I think you have a solid grasp on how to do it. It's very elixir intensive starting out a new TH which sucks but when you get everything upgraded it is worth it.

Thanks for the response! Which do you think I should do, Clan Castle or the second X-bow?

Clan castle is great because at 30 spaces you can hold more troops and now a golem for gowipe or gowiwi from clanmates.

second xbow is good because it balances base and its high rate of fire.

I personally did xbow, new defenses, 2nd xbow, clan castle.

Good thing about building both xbows as new TH9 is that they are both available for use in clan war village.

Alright, awesome! Thanks for your input!

Whats up BTY. I started th 9 from a maxed th 8 last Friday. here is what I did and what I have now

x1 AQ-> AQ lvl 2 -> Army camp finishes today
X1 Lab - finishes today
X1 xbow - finishes friday
X1 new toys all weekend including walls to lvl 6 and 7 -> 1x xbow started on Sunday
x1 elix storage (will be maxed today same time as lab is done to start lvl 6 troops)

Ill start a lvl 6 troop today which will leave me with no elix, so ill either grind 2.25 out tonight to get another army camp going or do a cheap/short gold upgrade to buy some time

The two other builders i'll have one start CC and hopefully get the other on the lab or AQ lvl 3.

I like that plan. Thank you for sharing your experience!
