Hi,
im almost maxed out and will upgrade the remaining troops except for hogs which i dont use and valkyrie which i think i will upgrade after i hit th9, i just wanted to ask if i should fully upgrade my spells to cap before moving on, or should i only wait for rage and minions to finish up before hitting th 9? The reason is if i wait for spells and minions to be maxed, ill be sitting at th8 for 21 days doing nothing, please help.. and what troop shoukd i upgrade first at th9?

Yes max your spells

first troop: balloons or giants, whichever you use more of.

Move up. Lab time > builder time in th8, but builder time > lab time in TH9. So you will surely have time to catch up on those upgrades

Edit: Do your TH now, you still have 10 days of TH. Then start a 5 day lab upgrade before you upgrade your lab, the upgrade will finish while your lab is upgrading

thanks! I think i will go with giants to shield more for the archers,

SO is it ok to neglect the lightning spell? Heal will take 5 days so i can do that during the lab upgrade, in total it will be rage(ongoing) 5 days + minions 7 days = 12 days, th9 takes 10 days so i will have to wait 2 more days before hitting the upgrade button, will it be ok or should i upgrade the lightning which will make it 6 days before i upgrade ? Please correct me if my calculations are incorrect

Rage (ongiong) + Heal (5 days) = 10 days. Minions (7 days) - Lab upgrade (5 days) = 2 days remaining for minions, then start Giants lvl 6

i think this will be much better since i can start with the new structures right?

Yes, and it does not interfere with your epic elixir demand in the beginning of TH9. You might need to wait a few days/hrs before you can get AQ though, so that's a consideration, unless you can prepare almost 70k DE

Lab first, then you have to wait a little on AQ. Lab 2 days later, then you can have AQ immediately

In this case, considering to get AQ immediately might be a good idea So what you proposed would work as well, unless getting 70k DE is not an issue

i currently have 22k de , i can make it to 30 before rage spell is done, but within 10 days i dont know i can get 40k for the aq lol
