I upgraded to th9 recently after maxing th8 (except for walls) and am currently being slaughtered for my loot every time I log off.
I have tried popular bases such as hannibals, and none of work for me.
Does anyone know of any good th9 farming layouts I can use?
I'm also still new to TH9. My advise, stick with TH8 base layout and dump those new buildings outside around it. It's low level and pretty useless. Also there is not much you can do as a TH newbie (not premmie). TH9 and TH10 won't have heavy loot penalty anymore. Dump all excess gold into walls.
I'm TH9 for 2 weeks, and both my x-bows are still virgin. Upgrading L2 now 7+ 10 days, probably will continue L3 for another 14 days. So without this, I'm still pretty defenseless against barch.
