Need advice on TH9 Masters

[Glare]

Hey all, I'm currently at 2346 trophies (C1), and beginning to struggle to gain trophies, any tips on armies or anything to help with the last 260 or so trophies? 200 troop cap if it matters.

just barch your way through.... lv5's should do the job pretty sweetly. I'm TH7 and lv4 units so I can't quite perform that yet.

I'm a TH8 and I've been using 8 drags and 40 archers w/ 3 rage. I say you could use the same, except another drag and another lightning or rage.

I have an ultimate trophy pushing guide in my signature, you can see if that helps you

Hello!
U can try a 15 giants, 10 wbs, rest archers, wiz and etc. That way u can take out an easy 1-star from bases with close town hall over the walls and with some skill at least 2-star it.
It is cheap and fast to train (around 30 minutes)
Also u can use tactic valks+wiz if you can gem your production rate of DB and SF. Here is a video of mine on it:

Good luck!

I just finished a TH9 run to masters for the free gems.

FYI, I'm about 15 days into TH9 (5 day lab upgrade + L6 barbs just finished (10 days))

Took me two days to go from Gold 2 to Masters (over weekend).

I held myself to barchers e way to prove it. L6 barbs didn't help much, really would have been about same with L5 barbs. I did have 210 troops space which turned into 220 at end of push as builders on last 2 camps finished. I did boost my racks and AQ at end of push as bases got a bit tough. I only failed 5 total attacks on way up, 4 of which were at 48-49%, and one was an embarrasing 0% on a misjudged trapped townhall.

Basically:

Hit poorly designed TH10s where you can get 50%. Try to avoid having to drop heroes due to res. time. Pay close attention to splash level over everything else. If they are a TH10 but only have TH6-7 defense, smash them.

Same with TH9s, but they can be a bit better designed and you can still skip away.

Check for empty xbows/infernos.

Don't ever pass up a TH snipe, especially when its all nestled up in the corner with decorations around it. Drop the AQ, take it, move on.

Try to avoid searching with an army that isn't fully trained. You may find a snipe, but you may also find a semi-hybrid TH10 you could smash if you had a full army, and you'll be kicking yourself.

Every now and then you will find a tasty TH6-8 that is also thinking they want to push. Punish these fools and their weakness.

Raid at least 75 trophies a session, and try not to long off with sleeping heroes or an empty defensive CC. Try not to have all your builders upgrading defenses.

Good luck!
