The odds you get full attacked are much higher though so retention will be somewhat worse.

Clan war wise, TH9 is an easier 3 star for good players with the extra time and DE spell. This means that defenses don't really matter at TH9 and below for clan wars as long as you can attack for 3 stars on your own TH level. Th10 is a different story for clan wars and in a bad place both maxed and rushed right now. (TH11 3 stars max TH10, but max TH10 has trouble 3 starring weak TH10s, so why bring TH10s to wars again?)
Thanks for the reply. I have a new device and account. Im gonna go light on defenses and camp th9 for wars and for maxing heroes. My experience at th10 was not the best. You really need lvl 40 heroes for it to be worth it at war. For farming though, its heaven. Loot never goes away once infernoes are up. I saw a clan member, who is th11, decimate a maxed th10. He says with warden at lvl 15 and lvl 3 witches, its a very easy 3 star. I cant imagine once th11 offensive is upgraded. !!!
