Tips for a th9 noob

[Gr33nArcher]

My th is done in five days. I'm under shield and will have full storages, cc too, and collectors. My plan is to get both of my xbows, upgrade my lab and spell factory, and upgrade my dark barracks. I'm thinking that I'll gem my spell factory done so I have a builder to upgrade my new defenses and stuff. Besides that I don't know how to approach th9. Any ideas? Upgrade order, farming range, army comp. All input is appreciated.

archer queen and new buildings first

TH9 is fun. Welcome to the club bud!

Once you have done all your ne building upto TH8 maxed, move onto the biggest upgrades first starting with splash damage. I did Wizard Towers then Mortars, then Teslas, Air and left Cannons and archer towers until last.

Im a new TH9.
I prioritized offense > defense
Lab
Camp
SF
AQ

Gemming the SF is a good idea.
Then put that builder on new defenses.
I'd prioritize Ad - WT - Tesla - AT - Xbows

In that order, but that's just my opinion.

Xbows are a bit over hyped.

Depends on how well you farm. For myself, I always went for offensive upgrades first, then resource upgrade and defenses last.

i would aim to get your DE drills up ASAP as they help in the long run.

I never do defenses first as a farmer because I always keep my TH out and always get sniped. Only time I ever did a defense right away was the ITs to level 1 only.

Also. Upgrade your heros as much as possible. They're the longest time consuming upgrades ever.

Thanks for all the tips. I'll definitely consider them. Any idea on what to do first in the lab? I barched as a th8 to farm. But I love war too so im considering either loons or barbs/archers.

Balonion is your priority upgrade. I am doing it now as well.

If u in war gem sf or gem lab so that u start rolling on th8s with that awesomeness and op giants and aq hahaha.

Get aq to 5 asap. Get to gold 3-1 anywhere.

Edit. Do giants first and storage raiding th8s will be very easy.

I use 16 giants rest barch with 1 heal spell. And it gets me all storages of a th8.

May say ballons but it's training time is too long for me.

even in wars I used giants to 2 star th9s without a problem.

It's good that you're bringing as much loot into TH9 as possible. I did the same thing. Get new buildings built, including X-Bows. Make sure you dedicate 2 builders to the lab and spell factory right away. And get the Archer Queen. She's a game-changer. 10x better than the Barb King. Get her to level 5 as fast as you can.

After that, upgrade your army camps as soon as you can. They are much more important than upgrading the new defenses.

Then I would recommend upgrading your clan castle, since it adds to your offense as well as your defense.

Then, if your clan wars a lot, start by upgrading your new air defense to level 6. If you're more concerned about protecting your loot, upgrade your new wizard tower to level 6 first. Then point defenses last.

Once everything is up to TH8 max, do mortars and wizard towers to level 7. They will help defend against level 7 giants and barch quite a bit. Trust me, if you have a lot of loot, you will get hit hard with those.

Then I'd max X-Bows. After that, do whatever you see fit.

Good luck and have fun at TH9!
