Never ending DEBATE: MAXING TH9 including heroes and walls or NOT?

[Highsenberg]

I a TOWN HALL 8 enjoy smashing TH9s with a full set of legos, I haven't ever smashed a max TH9 with full lava, but I have easily 2 starred lava cores before, TH9 defense really is weak, a TH10 with lv1 walls and max defense is still 20x stronger than a TH9 with max defenses and full lava, with TH8 troops having the capability to easily raid those precious walls and heros you wasted time maxing, what's the point? you could be TH10 and getting much better attack and defense, everyone says TH10 loot sucks but all the max TH9s complaining about getting raided for 320k should know that those people are lairs, they just want to keep TH10 to themselves so they can enjoy farming you (unenlightened clashers) I try to look T things from advantages of both sides, but maxing TH9 has absolutely no advantages to your game, the only positive things are, you can brag about your walls, and you can make it easier for TH10s to steal your loot, esp with lv7 giants, I love it when Th10s in my can share lv7 giant raids, farming armies 3 starring max TH9s easily, brilliant stuff lol

Sniping their town halls and getting 50% from outer buildings for a 2 star isn't something I'd be bragging about.

My th9 has max defenses and Lego walls, and off the top of my head, I think the best an 8 has done against my base is around 35% and they don't even sniff the core. The only way an 8 takes dark from me is if he uses lightning or hits a drill that I may have forgotten to empty.

Maxing 9s is beneficial because as soon as you hit 10 and get infernos you are better than 99% of the town hall 10s in the game.

every month or so I join up with some fellow flashers in Valhalla, and there was a max 9 there (who finally went to 10 recently) that was easily 2 starring 10s with giants wiz, Valks, barch, and goblins. Those high level heroes do so much work, and a multi inferno at lvl 1 or 2 is basically like breathing on the heroes, especially the king.

If you max walls and heroes at 9 you are only worrying about upgrades and finishing heroes to 40, and don't have to even think about walls until all that stuff is done.

Oh really? I would like you try and attack my base mate. With all the talk of jumping ship to th10, I don't see you jumping to th9, with th8 being so weak that it's pathetic. Practise what you preach.

Lol. I love your enthusiasm. Good luck.

Haha I probably will feel the grind when I'm flat out farming lavas, but now it's all chill when I dump the day's loot into the walls.

As a reasonably maxed Th10 base holder (with only lvl 8-9 wall) farming around 2200-2400, there's nothing nicer than seeing a maxed Th9 base with 400k+ gold/elixir and 3k+ DE and wiping it out 100% every time.

I'd literally pay to see their reaction when they see their base crumble without the essential Th10 defences, and I'm not talking about wall, which is very poor value for money and the last thing you should be upgrading beyond level 8-9. Then I'd also happily to pay to see their expression when they click on the revenge button and a tear forms as they quickly realise that they stand zero chance.

Thanks in advance

I love these keyboard hero type comments.

As a defence maxed TH9 farming for lavas and heroes, the above statement makes almost no sense for the following reasons:

• 400K+ Gold and elixir from a maxed TH9 that is maxing heroes and walls?? Wouldn't this have been already been dumped into walls??
• 3k+ DE, maxed cap DE is 2.5K for TH9, which means the TH9 would have not collected for 2-3 hours assuming they had over 60K DE in the storage, and anyone that is TH9 or anyone that is farming DE would have their TH out, at 2200-2400 trophy range I find it very hard to believe that someone wouldn't have shielded that TH9 for 2-3 hours! Generally when I log off after a few seconds I am shielded in trophy range 2000+.

I'm not doing it. I'm currently a maxed TH 9 minus Valks ( going to 2 ) heroes, ( BK 12 AQ 10 ) & walls ( 120 lvl 7,105 lvl 8, & 25 lvl 10 ) I plan on getting all my walls to level 8, valks to 4, & heroes to 15. Then I'll contemplate either taking all my walls to Legos & heroes to 20, or going to TH 10. I'm absolutely not going all lava with lvl 30 heros though, just not doing it haha

I might try...until I have nothing else to build. Currently maxing my collectors and traps. Leaving my defenses alone for a bit. My troops maxed (valk3 going to 4), heroes halfway there...only 3.5 million DE and 800 million elixgold left...hahaha

IMHO

Whatever float your boat...do it
its simple th9 or th 10
rush or max still up to you,
and in reality, there will be always be someone that could 3 star you . or someone that could figure out your base weakness,,

why play the game for the sake of pleasing people that you dont like..

[jamesserrano9999]

well it is really quite hard for an average farmer to finish th9 in max without taking too long..

my suggestion was get lego and heroes in high teens preferably in 20s..

de is much easier to get in th10.

[QandAclash]

New troop levels help a lot. Another xbow and infernos make a world of a difference. Dark elixir is easier in th10, so heroes will be easier, and those new defenses will help you defend that dark elixir. There is loot in masters 3 if you use balloons and minions, enough for 200k a raid. do it

I am not sure its even a debate, just a matter of personal preference. I jumped up to th 10 a little early from th 9, hasnt hurt me in the least bit. Farming took a little hit, but not much. I am of the opinion that waiting to go to th 10 is a waste of time and only prevents you from bettering yourself. I think that the upgrades you get from th 9 - 10 is the best of any townhall jump in the game. Infernos are priceless, a third xbow is phenomenal, and the maxed out troops is even better. I dont think anyone cay say waiting til maxing is the right way to go or the wrong way, its just a matter of preference. For me, I dont value walls very much, and focusing on maxing every defensive building, and than all my time will focus on walls. I have maybe 70 skull walls and rest are purple. Fact is, even a maxed th 9 can be 3 starred by a near maxed th 10, it isnt until your a th 10 with higher defenses that 3 stars on your base can be taken out of equation. If you know how to farm I say make the jump and dont hold yourself back, but if you struggle to farm at th 9, than waiting is prolly your best bet.
