Hey ash,

What army composition would you suggest for a new th10 with max th9 troops, and what league to farm in, considering i would like to keep at least one hero upgrading all the time with out boosting barracks or spells.

And also farming for gold/elixir

my king is lvl 17 and my queen is lvl 16

Thanks in advance

Did you always upgrade both your heroes at the same time whenever possible and is it wise to keep 2 builders inactive just for heroes

Im not sure if you're asking Ash or just anyone in general. Ive been following this guide for 2 weeks now and have been having both heroes down at the same time ever since. Alright so what i did was create a 3-4 day difference. For example, my kings upgrade finishes today. In 3-4 days my queen upgrade finishes. This gives me enough time to farm enough de. Especially since during the weekdays i dont have as much time to farm as compared to the weekend.

I'm not Ash either, but have been following his progress since beginning.
My suggestion is to follow your own pace and try to improvise. I tried to follow Ash, but just up to certain limit due to time constraint and real life.
Until about L20/20, I was able to upgrade both simultaneously non-stop.
Once higher than 20+, I was only able to farm 100k+ DE per week, so only one hero is down (AQ).
Slowly I manage to improve my raiding, and keep up to 180-200k DE per week, hence my AQ still upgrading nonstop and is going down again tonight at 37. Just few more weeks to go for AQ

My BK has been idling at L22 for several months and helping with farming/war.

I've been upgrading 1 at a time because I'm in a warring clan.
I need at least 1 hero for wars.
My king is going to 17 and my queen is 20

What ash accomplished is a great feat but a feat that requires u to play game extensively n obsessively. I should know bc im same. The only way to keep up his pace of ug is to play the game ALOT. I been playing game since sept 28,2013 n been playing it everyday. I believe he started game later than me and has already surpassed my multiplayer win total which says alot bc like I said I play game extensively everyday. I have benefit of clashing at work n I work everyday including holidays. To try n keep up with his pace is very unhealthy bc it means u r neglecting other parts of ur life n only focusing on gaming. I never boost n I'm assuming he does alot which would cut down his hr of gameplay but even if he boosted all day long, his progression is hard to achieve by most unless u r willing to put alot of effort n time into this game. So lower ur expectation n play at ur own pace unless u dont mind dedicating ur life to this game. Many do lol. Btw I kind of know his position bc I was able to max farm my base completely but only bc I played this game ALOT. Please just make sure u dont neglect other aspects of ur life over a game. This game is highly addictive n many fall into that trap. Dam u sc for making such a great game lol

Well you said you ain't boosting and he's always boosting => he's attacking 4 times more than you in the same time interval => he'll surpass you easily.
He may even play less than you lol.

Lol he cant surpass me bc im already fully maxed. As far as him playing more or less than me. No one will truly know. All I know is that he does put alot of hrs n dedication into this game. His progression is insane there is no question to that fact but alot of people don't seem to realize the faster u want to progress the more time u have to put into game unless u gem alot.

Great job Spike!

I would recommend to continue farming as you did at TH 9, but once you get those Lv 7 Archers, head to Masters 3. Farming at TH 10 may be a little rough at the start, but it will get a lot better trust me. Keep using BAM/Barch.

Did you always upgrade both your heroes at the same time whenever possible and is it wise to keep 2 builders inactive just for heroes

Not at the same time, but it looks like others have answer that question for you. Try keeping them about 3 days apart after they've passed lv 14, enough time to farm the necessary DE for their next level. And try not to ever keep builders inactive, builder time is precious. If you can't upgrade both heroes at the same time, then take it slow and do 1 at a time.

I'm pretty sure everyone understands that it requires a great deal of time and effort. Nothing comes easy. I made this guide to educate, to simplify and ease that experience for the average player.
