What to upgrade first at th9?

[Mystery93]

Straightly unlock AQ; upgrade lab; build and upgrade all new building to maxed th8 level; camps & spells factory. The key is just about how you managed all available builders to upgrade this things as efficient as possible. Good luck!

SF and X-bows.

Xbows - they're your biggest defensive addition at TH9.

[octowned]

Archer queen (insta build)

2 builders: take both xbows straight to lv3
2 builders: lab/spell factory, then army camps
5th builder if you have it: new buildings up to TH8 level

In 3-4 weeks when xbows are done, you'll be in a good place for the rest of TH9, to not get picked on by barching TH10 too much.

Stick in gold1 and pick on TH8 with your new queen!

- Build AQ and upgrade to L2 if you have the dark
- Upgrade SF
- Upgrade Lab
- Upgrade CC
- Upgrade Camps if either 5 builders or no AQ going to L2
- Build an x bow if you have 5 builders and no AQ going to L2

X bows are only good when they get to L2 and great at L3. L1 x bows do practically nothing. TH8's laugh at them. Next lvl CC help on offense and def and you can take a golem in CW, which is very helpful.

Lab > Spells (if you do clan war) > DE Drill

Spell factory, x-bow, new stuff

Hi guys, I'll be a new th 9 as well in a few hours and I plan to use my 5 builders on AQ, Lab, 1 xbow, camp, new buildings. I see many of you say SF and I am rethinking this. Thanks for the response and for the post OP.

So I'm going to be th9 in a couple of hours with full storage's what should I get first i'm getting archer queen and lab so that leaves 3 builders thanks!

Start with queen do as much as you can of her (first 5 is a probable must)
Lab
spell factory
Mortar
1 open for walls(if you don't play often do another mortar)
Finish maxing walls, then finish xbows/wizard towers and then completely finish elixer upgrades
finish the rest of the gold ones after

Sorry got a little carried away :3

SF = worth because its great farming/pushing/warring (Allows extra slot, so more constant spells when farming and more to use when warring/pushing) and allows you access to the jump spell, which is useful for ground attacks.

Personally I'd drop the x bow and go with the CC. Simply because L1 x bows are pieces of s***, not even joking. They don't matter that much at all on def. You will still get raided by other TH9/10's and lose badly. Also CC is once again good for everything and allows you to get a CC golem/hound for CW, which is very useful.
