My fellow TH8'ers, this is our thread. How are you guys doing? (Part 2)

[Sammo]

As a fellow TH8 to all my brothers and sisters here, is it really worth upgrading Valkyries and golems before moving to TH9? I have maxed my base building wise, only a few walls left and finished lab apart from one hog upgrade and valks/golems. So in your honest opinions should I stay the extra month or so to max lab or go up to TH9 cause I won't need those troops and de farming is easier?

Anyone of you guys know a good antihog and antidragon base that can still have point defenses left to kill the queen?

if you wont be using those troops then dont bother upgrading them and just upgrade to TH9

If anything, I would upgrade golem. The only dark elixir troops I upgraded were minions (to level 3) and hogs (to level 4) as TH8. I personally don't use valkyries, so I see that as a waste.

Am I the only one who thinks BARCHing is dead now? Before the last update I was able to find enough bases to barch. Now after the update, I feel like they pushed a lot of the inactive bases out. I've never had to next so many times before coming across a base worth attacking using the BARCH strategy. It's starting to feel like a chore to play this game when I try to level up my village.

Earlier this week I was in the 1800-1900 range to try to see what it is like loot wise and to see if I can BARCH in that range. I just dropped down to 1400 range as it's more comfortable, but loot still terrible.

My TH 8 base is nearing max, 2 more teslas and an AT to max left, but of course, one last damn mortar. Still got some work to do on the lab (maybe 25 days left). Recently started the skull walls. Level 76 now.

Been farming for skulls( level 8 walls) recently and I'm about to make it the majority of wall pieces in my village in a couple of minutes The elixir walls update really makes it easier to farm walls. It makes farming those arduous lava walls later on that little bit easier

nevermind...

try 1200 +/- 100, that is where i barched to my heart's content, but that was before the 4th mortar.

maybe try bam? it allows you to get one layer further than barch if you are just laying down lines of troops. also try different ways of barching - check out this vid (i know he has the AQ etc, but the theory is sound)
