wrong section....

but I don't think you're ready yet (if you're worried about the loot)

upgrade your troops, your defenses and your teslas, your BK is lvl10, farming should be a bit easy for you

If you haven't maxed everything you are not ready for th9, be patient and upgrade everything the more you rush to th9 the more you'll want to rush to th10, don't get suckered in.

I understand that i am not ready yet. but can u suggest me a target or a point when i should consider my upgrade ?max out everything is waste of time like all four barracks ,dark barracks etc.which is not necessary to max all.
I understand tesla, wizard tower, air defense are my ultimate target. Is that enough or assign me a target so that I can finish it and move on to th9.
I need archer queen and x-bow to protect my resources as my loots are getting wasted most of the time. th8 bases rarely touch my base which is too good for them. but th9 and th10 always target me for mega loot. I used to have abundant DE and elixr.

you won't say that when you need three or four pekkas, or golems, perhaps you are loosing loot because one of the strongest defences are not maxed, wizard towers are imperative and teslas are underrated upgrade them now, if you dump your gold and elixr in walls and barracks, you only have DE left, stick your th on the outside and most of the time your DE will be ignored, but your TH not.

If you think your loot will be safe at TH9 think again rumour has it there are a few town hall 10 players here or there.

i agree. my next target is to max wiz tower & tesla and i did'nt mean barracks are waste of time. but till th10 i am going to have the same number of barracks. So except time factor it doesn't gonna affect me like the defensive buildings do. I have 5 builders and I use gem boost regulalrly for quick attacks.

So max out wizi and tesla tower can push me to th9 or still anything left unnoticed?

No, That's not the only con, at TH9 you will want to focus elixr on other things and not get distracted by barracks upgrades, TH9 is the heaviest elixr usurper yet for you, you'll want every drop of the stuff, Archer towers are also important to get them to level ten and your air defence, what about troops have you maxed them?

In my opinion the only things you can get away with ignoring is collectors and mines as they are easy enough to upgrade, having said that there will probably be a 1 gem boost over the easter hollidays so you may be caught wishing you had upgraded them too!

Basically what I am trying to say is your base is still a middling TH8 it makes no sense to upgrade to TH9 at your current state.

i agree mate.thanks for your kind response. i understand that this journey is too far than i thought. I'll fix all things up. I'll wait for my next move. I just got distracted from rushed th9 made me thinking why not me?. I also loved archer queen who destroyed my dark elixr storages when all other troops got destroyed by my defense suddenly she comes out of no where and steal the show. I wanted to do that to others.It seems I need to wait for my queen
