My Clash of Clans Journey Thus Far (Maxer to Rusher)

[Bryygasm]

Its all up to you to decide which is important now If lvl 3 is enough for you, then it will be. That's the fun of being a rusher, you get to choose what you want and minimising what you feel unimportant

That is so true, how is loot being a th9?

The loot is awesome. Having 220 troops plus a second hero means breaking down th8s easy. I like th9 way more than th8

Sounds great, I cant wait to be th9 but I got a question. If I was a th9 that upgraded lab, sf, made my new defenses equal to my th7 defenses. What th would I lane against? I wouldn't be with the same lane as a maxed out or mid th9 right? cause that would really screw things up. hahahaha!

600k-1mil per hr depending on storages or collectors. If queen is around, that makes it the higher end all the time.

You'll be matched against premmie/new th9 or maxed TH8 I warred using giwipe the first few weeks, then now switching to loonion and eventually lavaloons

Premmie is a player that only upgrades a th and a couple of buildings that does not prioritize offense right? Did giwipe get you 3 stars?

If you go into town hall 9 prematurely it will take you much longer to get those walls up. The reason for this is the catch up period and loot that needs to be gathered in order to get the new buildings and upgrade these new buildings and walls to the point where you can fend off TH8 attacks, who will be able to steal a lot more loot off you, and town hall 9 attacks. I recommend grinding out those walls.

One peice of information that is missing from your guide is that not everyone can be a rusher. To be a "smart" rusher you need to be able to play in shifts. If there is gold in your base when you log off, it will be looted. An example of this is me and someone else in my clan. He descided to get all lvl 9 walls before doing defenses while i descided to do the more inportant defenses before lvl 9 walls. During his lvl 9 wall dash, his base was being overrun almost daily while my base was able to withstand attacks. To be able to not upgrade your defenses, you have to play in shifts.

I imagine you're on about me and I thought I'd give my opinion on my upgrades. The reason I upgraded my walls to level 9 first was because i want to have level 10 walls before town hall 10. If I had done level 9 walls AFTER defences, I would have been tempted to upgrade my town hall too early, and got bored of doing my walls. Also, in reply to me being 'overrun almost daily' for my dark elixir, I rarely had my dark elixir stolen, however, I did a few times, but it definitely was not daily because of the fact all my defences were working, however, now that I am currently upgrading both xbows and an archer tower and my queen, I get my dark elixir stolen more than before, because my defences are down whilst they upgrade. I don't regret upgrading walls before defences and am quite glad that I did so that I have less chance of becoming bored after maxing out my defences.

I think this is somewhat valid, not always necessary but also very easy to finish skull walls at th8. It took me a little over two weeks to do that.

hey man I am glad you came in here to clear that up. Somethings didn't add up when I heard about your case. As I have lvl10 walls and never get attacked even though my defenses are th7. Thanks for stopping by.

Hey SalsaMander and any new people wanting to view my progress. I updated the very first post with my current base. i figured it is easier for people to view it there than scrolling through these pages. I will still continue to update my progress and will be adding more images of troops, defenses, attacks, and gold grab.
