5 builders doing nothing

[dexterz]

Everyone deserves a break

thats why you dont rush your defense upgrades, they really dont matter at th9 or below. but walls and heroes do. i always had 4/5 builders working and 1 always doing walls. and i still had about 8 defense upgrades left by the time i was at 20/20 heroes and about half lavas. having 5/5 builders working is just as bad as having all of them doing nothing

I know it seems a waste but I was advise spending a bit more time working on walls and heroes. Yes, there's more DE at TH10 but you need that boost to help with increasingly expensive hero upgrades. Gold and elixir has normal levels of a availability but upgrades are all massive so you need to raid more to save it. On the plus, you get sniped in seconds and infernos make your base tough to defeat.

Maybe you didn't give walls enough care.
I always work on walls being upgraded in parallel with defenses & not at the end of each townhall.
Got full lavas about 2 weeks after maxing defenses in th9 with lvl20 queen and lvl16 king and then upgraded my townhall.
Now about to max walls even before maxing defenses by at least 3 month.
Queen at lvl30 and king upgrading to lvl21

i wish they implement a feature where you can use builders to boost any collector of your choice. ( maybe 2 for dark elixir drill? )
That will help us keeping builders busy even after everything is maxed

Sound interesting :-)

Go up to TH10 mate, you'll enjoy it a lot more.

How many of you have reached the point when you have everything built up and working on walls and heroes? I am TH9 got all my walls black skulls, grinding on legos and working king and queen when I get the DE for it. Kinda depressing seeing them doing nothing.

Now I am on the fence whether or not to go to TH10. King is 13, queen is 10.

Play the game how you want to. If you can't be bothered grinding the walls, don't. Obviously there's a greater loot penalty at TH10 but you get the extra collectors and drill.

I've had a few idle builders for a few weeks and now all 5 are. I'm leaving a few defensive upgrades and channelling everything into walls. Got 109 legos, 2 lavas and the rest skulls.

For me, having strong walls nullifies a lot of ground attacks in war. So unless the opposition really know what they are doing, walls can help save a star.

If you get more enjoyment pushing and seeing upgrades rather than walls... its up to you. But personally i'm not going to Th10 til all walls are lava and my heroes are lvl 30 (14BK, 10AQ at present).

Same position, I barely attack anymore since I dont have to save up for anything. I do like 2 legos a day and try to keep one of my heroes going. It's quite boring but I don't mind that much since I don't have tons of time

This is why I do heroes and lavas in parallel with defenses. I still have 14 weeks of defensive upgrades, but 170 lavas and 15/16 heroes. Will move to th10 after full lavas, regardless of defenses and heroes
