Maxing literally everything at th9

[BRVR6653]

Is it really worth it to max literally everything at th9? Well it is time consuming to grind those walls to level 10 or heroes to level 30 each. I wonder if it is really worth it

Maxing absolutely everything is 100% not worth it. Unless you have a perfect upgrade schedule, you will finish with 1 or 2 resources long before you finish with the third (elixir isn't really as big an issue as gold or DE is though). That leads to lost resources, and even lost builder time if you can't keep 5 busy at the end (which you wouldn't). The disadvantages of TH 10 in gold and elixir can look quite small when compared to all of the inefficiencies you would have at a nearly maxed TH 9.

My rule of thumb on this has always been pretty simple: upgrade your TH when you finish walls OR building/lab upgrades. Idle builders or idle gold is a terrible thing.

Note I didn't include DE in this post, because TH 10 is not really at a disadvantage at all in this respect. Maxing heros at TH 9 would be a waste of time unless you still have walls and/or buildings left to upgrade.

No it's not.

I've been wondering the same thing myself lately. I'm at somewhere between 105-110 lava walls and heroes are something like 22/22 roughly.

I'm getting away from farming. It's gotten boring and I'm more interested in trying to 3 star other TH9's in war.

worth it if your doing it for trophy count or clan wars , i start maxing everything when i was at th 8 and it was worth it in clan wars.

There is no idle gold/elixir at TH9. Now, an idle lab has been gnawing away at my patience, but now I have stuff to upgrade there again

I'm in the same boat as you. I am going to finish almost all my legos before moving up. My heroes will be about 15/15 or just above that by then & all lab and buildings are maxed. It is so hard to not hit the button now though :/

In most cases your correct, but then that requires that DE and builders be idle... which is arguably just as bad. I say idle gold/elixir is a possibility because I have seen a few farmers with great walls and bad heros. The point is, unless you farm resources and plan your upgrades in such a way that builders/lab, walls, and heros all finish at roughly the same time... you'll end up with some serious inefficiency at the end. That's why I suggest upgrading the TH once one of the former two are done, because I believe those inefficiencies to be greater than the minor disadvatages TH 10 gold/elixir farming has. Ideally, you'd be mostly maxed in the remaining two categories as well. Of course extreme circumstances can change the calculus here, but as a general rule I think it's better than pure maxing.

im maxing coulse i know when i do go to th10 the last thing im going to want is my heros down. heros to 30 at th9 then i wont have upgrade them till most def are maxed. no right or wrong way just personal prefferences.
edit : queen is 20 king is 15 atm long way to go :\

If you aren't in a hardcore war clan, I would say it's safe to move up even if you aren't completely maxed. I am moving up after I finish my walls (194/250 lavas), and I'm not going to bother upgrading my DE spells at TH9.
