Just Curious...

I know I am only a new TH8, and I am a serious war person.

But I am wondering: when I get TH9 in about 5 months (LOL), after I get all new stuff up to TH8 level and max SF and camps, should I get X-Bows and get 'em to level 3 ASAP?

Plus, level 3 X-Bows look beast:

Depends, do you war?

Exactly... If you prefer to keep a lower value in war and get matched against TH8, then don't build your xbows... But of course, any TH10 finding your village will certainly destroy it completely, even in barch.

If you wish to protect your loot in multiplayer, then yes, build those 2 xbows immediately. What I did was then to have one upgrading one active full time.

One of the first things I said in the OP was "I am a serious war person," so what do you think?

Hehe.

As good as they are in multiplayer you may want to delay them to focus on offence first. Queen, Lab & Spell Factories obviously, then Clan Castle & Army Camps.

Once those are out of the way, then look at your X-Bows.

Hm, I'm not sure, you're a hardcore farmer who never wars?

Anyway, apologies for my ignorance. You shouldn't build them and go 8.5 or 8.9.

Are you easily impressed with shiny objects?Then yes.

If you war, then your priority should be to upgrade spell factory, cc, camps, DE drills, unlock and upgrade troops, AD, teslas, etc. and heroes (not necessarily in that order) before xbows. Start farming for DE and elixir and don't worry about the gold.

Looks can be deceiving.. prioritise your troops. Yes have the built immediately but don't care too much about upgrading them. Honestly upgrading them doesn't make much of a difference.

I know I'm a long way off TH9, but from the information I can gather from you guys I think I might do TH8.9, which I think is build all new stuff but xbows and get them to TH8 level, then max lab, SF, camps and dark barracks. Then after that I will build xbows and get them to level 3 ASAP. Then work on other defenses. There, plan is ready to use in 5 months!
