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

[Springerrob]

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

That might be your experience, but it's certainly not mine, as a max'd defences TH9 working on walls, I've been having fun stealing loot from fairly advanced TH10's with infernos in Crystal 1/Masters 3, and as for Th10's smashing my base up, it's just not happening with their max'd troops, if anything TH10s attacking me talk the talk, but certainly can't walk the walk.

The reality is there may be TH10s that can 3 star me, but the reality borne out by the laughable attacks is that most can't because they lack the skill because they haven't spent enough time in the game perfecting their raiding skills.

Every one plays the game differently, no right or wrong way.

I'm one of those patient th9's, although I focus on heroes more then walls. My BK is 22 and AQ is 21 and I've got about 70 skulls, rest lava's. My defenses are mostly upgraded less a few AT's that I've saved to upgrade as I hit certain wall milestones and a few of my single bombs are needing to go to lvl 6 still. I'm in no hurry to go to th10 for a very important reason. I enjoy farming. I don't enjoy pushing. When my th10 defenses are maxxed, the game will feel empty for me I believe. Doing walls / heroes gives me something worthwhile to farm, while still getting good results on my loot haul.

I realize I am more prone to lose loot from th10's without IT's to defend my base. I realize my lab is idle and my builders are idle, but what I also realize is that "end game" playing (less gold loots / trophy pushing) will be the end of the game for me. So I'm stretching it out, and hoping to enjoy the game longer, looting is what I love. If th11 comes out, it will actually be great news. I like being one th behind personally, means there is still some track ahead to go yet.

Just my thoughts.

So true springer. I couldn't tell u the last time I was 3 starred. I'm happy where I'm at and in 6 months my 10 will look alot better than these rushed 10s because I decided to wait 3 months. 94 lavas left, queen is 27 and King Is 21 . like everyone said it's a personal preference. But I want to Max all eventually. Plus it's fun 2 starring a 10 in war w out freeze n max troops. Clash on guys enjoy the ride

Many in this thread are of the opinion that its not worth it! But then again you dont come across many maxed TH9s in the game. So they will never know. It will be nice to see who's base is better in the long run and i am sure Maxed TH9s wont ever regret.

Its been over 6 months since i maxed my Th9 defences, I have time and again thought of just upgrading it to TH10 only my leader #agrippa# to convince me not to do it. I must say maxing your base completely has its advantages and some days you just get bored to do heroes and walls. My heroes are level 23 each now and have done half level 10 walls. I must admit its WORTH IT! Not only i have been winning good defences in each league mostly M3/C1, the base has been doing great in ClanWars.
Heroes make a huge difference to any attack after level20. Many love the queen however its the King who is brilliant. It soaks up all the damage while destroying anything in its path while the Queen finishes it off. Its really helpful in GoWiWi GoWiPe to get 3 stars also with the hybrid attacks. I would recommend sticking it out and maxing it as many in our clans are doing.
If you cant as Hagler'(clanmate) always says ''Get errr done - just upgrade!!!!' and have fun with your game,who cares about the fine nuances of the game.

I tried, I upgraded 150 level 10 walls and level 25 heroes before I decided to go TH10. I decided to go TH10 because I got tired of getting 3 starred by level 4 hog toting TH8s back when hogs were OP.

This is absolutely not true. You're confirming yourself as a poor attacker if you state that walls don't matter, as walls are exactly what prevent common farming armies from coring your base.

In any case, what you're saying is nonsensical. If you're 100%ing a "maxed" TH9, then obviously you're not doing it with barch. You are using an elixir-heavy army, with multiple spells, and at least one hero. Most likely your clan castle too. At that point, why are you playing it up as such an achievement when you get the 3-star? Obviously, a skilled TH9 could just as easily core you for your DE, even if at a loss of elixir – isn't that just what you're doing here?

Walls are horribly annoying to max at th9, I myself have 100 legos (lvl9) and am going to upgrade my th after I get all to level 9. For a player who isn't on 4 hours a day, it is very hard to upgrade each wall to level 10 for 3 mil each. Not recommended

Because there really is no right or wrong answer.

If you are a seriously hardcore farmer, can put the time in and gem some hero upgrade time making the decision to fully max TH9 would no doubt be very easy. Because you may well max walls first, or only have a week or two of walls after max defense.

For everyone else, you'll end up having disadvantages staying at TH9 for longer. You have to make up your own mind as to whether the benefits outweigh them.

[Sid0817]

Its even better now since th8s have two DE drills and DE is better in gold leagues. Will say again, max it. Rushers know nothing!!

42 lavas left to do and queen headed to 29. Loving every bit of it
