    Townhall 9
    Clan Castle 5 (30 space)
    Army Camps 7 (220 space)
    Dark Barracks 6 (witch and hound available)
    Lab 7 (max hogs, max balloons, max witches, max heal spell, upgraded archers, barbs, giants, jump spell, golems, hounds)
    Spell Factor 4 (jump spell available)
    Walls 9/10 (build new walls so 250 total)
    Build/upgrade new traps (air bombs, giant bomb)
    Archer Queen built and leveling up
    Dump extra gold elixir into leveling up walls and de drills

    NO xbows
    NO new archer/wizard/air d/tesla built
    NO upgrades on existing defenses (everything remains townhall 8 level)


    This is generally only for purposes of clan war matchmaking. What this allows you the full offensive power available at townhall 9 while minimizing the impact on your overall matchmaking score. As it seems "number of defenses" and "level of defenses" are higher weighted in the scoring algorithm than offensive power. Therefore by focusing only on offense first, your clan won't have as high a mathmaking score and won't be likely to draw matchups against harder opponents.

    The logic behind this might be easier to think about it from the opposite standpoint - If you hit TH9 and then build your xbows and start upgrading all of your defenses right away, you would be matched against a higher th9 but you won't have the offensive capability to match it yet.

    This is the same logic for a townhall "9.5" where you upgrade to townhall 10 but don't build inferno towers.
    Thank you so much! That was so informative! I am defiantly going to do that when I get to th9!

    It is a TH9 that has maxed TH9 troops but have not built any new defenses at TH9 (xbow etc.)

    It is a favorable matchmaking tactic

    Not really maxed TH9 troops, just focusing only on offense, and not defense.

    The AQ doesn't have a lot of matchmaking weight, so you will most likely be considered a th8.
