Priorities for new TH9

[chrisrsx7]

Hello everybody. Just recently made the jump to TH9 and was wondering what are the most important upgrades to begin working on for TH9. Any suggestions are welcomed.

Get the queen to five, get the camps to seven, and lab as well

1)Spell Factory
2)Lab
3)Queen and upgrade her as much as possible and as fast as possible
4)Camps
5)CC

this is my plan
(some people won't like it ) but it's good for me.
spell fac> xbow2 >camp
dark barracklvl 5>darkbarrack lvl6
lab>camp
xbow1 > camp
arch queen lvl 5 > camp

dump all gold on walls.( new walls are purple + 4 lvl 9 walls + 1 lvl 10 )

By my estimation, when you have the desired number of trophies / loot, a strong enough TH10 attach will come along and stomp your base, no matter how far you upgrade.

When I think along these lines, the priority turns to maximizing the ability of your attacks.
1) Laboratory upgrade and researching troop upgrades
2) Barracks upgrades so you can train new troops
3) War camp upgrades so you can build the max number of troops
4) Spell factory upgrades so you can create and carry the maximum number of spells

2 maxed DE Drills will provide 4800 DE a day. Enough for several early AQ levels for free a month. Do the math.


If you came into TH9 with full storages (as you should have) you have enough Elixir to upgrade the Spell Factory and the Laboratory from the very first second at TH9. Furthermore; just 62.5K DE will raise your new AQ to level 2 after just 12 hours. (that was 3 of your builders occupied)

The last 2 builders (if you have 5, of course) would usually go to work on the new structures. What you upgrade has an impact on your war standing and you might want to select the TH8.5 route. Personally, I chose to put all the new buildings on the ground, traps and walls first, upgrading the walls to level 7, and starting up one X-Bow.

If you keep your builders and lab more or less occupied constantly AND you enter TH9 from a maxed out TH8 with full storages .. THEN you will have maxed out the defences and troops for TH9 after 6 months.

If you keep upgrading you heroes during the first 180 days, they will easily hit BK17 and AQ15 (which have the exact same DE cost) after that time.

This means, that you can concentrate on Walls and Heroes after 180 days in TH9.

If you manage to farm more DE, you can of course get your Heroes higher, BUT .. the time demanded by buildings and troops will not change or vary much .. it will take around 180 days (that is simply the added up upgrade times .. divided by 5 builders) .. The number of skulls/legos/lavas you have left also depend strongly on your raiding activity.

Basically, you can max out TH9 in 180 days, if you can keep your builders busy AND keep your Heroes upgrading constantly.

Hello everybody. Just recently made the jump to TH9 and was wondering what are the most important upgrades to begin working on for TH9. Any suggestions are welcomed.

If you war a lot, Focus on Offense first. Lab, Camps, Spell Factory and Clan Castle should be top priorities. You are going to be elixir deficient as all the offense has high elixir costs. You will have lats of gold but resist the urge to buy x-bows until you get your offense up and running. If you haven't done so, get your walls up to Skulls.

You should have had enough DE to get the Queen immediately. Get her to 5 ASAP.

For troops, I maxed Hogs and Loons first for war attacks and then did giants and Barbs to farm with. Lvl6 Giants plus an AQ shreds weak TH9's and just about any TH8.

You are going to have lots of gold early but resist the urge to buy the xbows. Buy all your walls, traps, storages, first then layer in your new defenses and get them to TH8 level. I have done this and in war, I primarily face maxed TH8's which I slaughter (most of the time) or other early TH9's. Those TH9's with XBows generally have bad troops and manage to get 1 star or the occasional 2 star as they went for defense first.

I'm getting to the point (6 weeks in) that I'm almost at the point to make the x-bow investment. I'm pushing to get my queen to 10 and at least my golems to 4 before I do so.

Its your game, and play anyway you like. This is working for me at this time.

If you war a lot leave the xbows until a lot of other stuff is done. The xbows have some insanely huge weight. Believe one hive did a video once. 2 xbows out weight like 15 levels of troops, and about 12 levels of other defenses. Just because of 2 level 1 xbows.

i myself have upgraded all the new defenses to th 8 max or close to and all the extras, (labs, camps, and a few troops) and still have a decent weight that I can handle as a new th9. just not touched the xbows yet. I am in crystal 3 with my th outside and been actually attacked once in 2 months. Always a snipe and maybe alittle collector snipe, but that is all
