TH9 or TH10? Which is better?

[Akihako]

Thanks guys for your opinions.
The highest adventage for me would be that i am in a war clan so i would be able to obtain more stars, give less and donate better troops.
All in all I will stay TH9 until i have all my walls skulls (all my defenses are already maxed).
Once again, thank you very much.
Have a nice day and Clash ON!

Move to th 10. The way i look at it you're going to waste gold and elixer you could be using to make your defenses and troops stronger on walls. I stopped upgrading walls at 8 and will resume them once I've maxed out my defenses on 10. To me it's very wasteful to stay at th9 just to farm for walls.

I think that because of new lvl 7 troops people will move to TH10 so there will be more loot than to stay TH9 but that is just my opinion...

If those maxed out th9s move to th10 it actually helps you if you are th9. Cos now they incur a penalty when they attack you. Their move will only mean more loot for people who are already th10.

It's some time since I made the transition, but:

TH9 - better gold/lix (I moved before the wall changes so the lix position might be different)
TH10 - better DE + more fun smashing up other TH10s.

I went to TH10 with max def TH9, around 100-150 skulls rest lvl 7s and heros at 10-12ish. Had no trouble making the transition, gold/lix saving was tough but do-able, but since I maxed my TH10 defs I don't worry about gold/lix anymore.

I've just got one xbow and 2 seeking air mines to pay for, then my buildings are all maxed for TH9. I'll stick around and upgrade walls/heroes until my lab upgrades are all finished, which is about 8 weeks away. By this time I should have all skulls and a core of lego, and heroes probably lvl 12-13. Then I'll go to TH10.

All my defenses are maxed out for a while. but i will still go to th10 after all lavas and each hero at 25.

The penalty is really small. As a TH10 attacking a TH9 it's like 10%. Only when attacking two townhall levels lower it's 50%.

Yups.. Small penalty for th9 but still better with no penalty right ? Instead of 200k you see 180k. If your troops cost 80k your profit is 100k instead of $120k so you actually got 16% less profit. That means to earn 600k you need to attack 6 times instead of 5 times which have further implications on the time you need to cook troops plus search for targets. And that's only if you attack th9.. If u attack th8 good luck...

I agree that loot gets worse as a TH10, no question about that. But I don't agree that I as a TH9 profit from others upgrading to TH10. Why? Because now I am their favourite target. They will raid me with level 7 troops and +25 troop capacity. So they hit harder. Yes, they make less profit but that won't prevent them from raiding me because they have no other choice. By the way I'm not complaining, I'm totally fine with the system.

Max out TH9 buildings completely, get at least all skull walls, and then it's your prerogative as to whether you want to head to TH10.

Keep in mind that this update does not do anything to help TH10s with the loot issues they've faced along with TH9s the past 3+ months. TH9s should have no problem farming elixir again (at least against TH8s), so if walls are important to you, do them at TH9. If you can't deal with not having lvl 7 farming troops, head to TH10. But don't expect to find bases offering anything close to what you'll be finding at TH9. So you'll have more expensive troops that are capable of cracking into tougher TH9+ bases, but those bases won't have nearly the loot that you were able to take as a TH9 hitting TH8s. I believe that may fall under "catch 22"?

Just make sure to understand the costs/benefits of upgrading/not upgrading prematurely to TH10. I hope I could provide you with valuable insight.

EDIT: The reason the loot you find will be substantially less as a TH10 is b/c TH9s are still able to dump their resources into walls, just like TH8s and TH7s were before this recent update. I have stated this non-stop but I realize that I failed to include it in this specific thread post, my bad.
