What do *I* want my lab order to be as new TH10?

[FisherPrice]

I've searched up a bunch of these threads, just looking for any more perspective given the specifics listed below as they apply to me:

• I'm doing 9.5 so I will not be expected to attack inferno bases just yet, 3* on any max TH9 in war is my top priority, but being able to cover some of the TH10 would be nice
• I gem'd the time for max golem already and have max hounds in now
• I primarily use goho but am also working with golaloon
• Lab was maxed at TH9 except haste (lvl2) and EQ (lvl1)
• We are a level 7 clan so I can already donate max everything except pekka
• I farm with gibarch
• I have never once used gowipe in war and only just did lvl3 pekka as my TH was upgrading, I understand it will need to be used vs TH10's later, which is why I did upgrade pekka finally at the end of TH9
• I should have every camp started (already doing one) before lava hounds finish, so I should be able to spend elixir in the lab with my next upgrade(s)

Wallbreakers? I use them all the time, usually carrying 4-6 while raiding and often use them for the kill squad in war, and of course will use them when I start gowiping the higher bases.

Giants? Level 7 giants look pretty nice and I'm always using those guys to storage raid.

Archers because I always have them in farming armies and for royal cloak?

Barbs because they are cheap, I almost always have them in farming armies, and for iron fist?

Pekka because, with golems done, maybe pekka is the next biggest troop upgrade for gowipe?

Freeze because it is an important tool to have access to for hitting TH10s?

Gobs? I don't use them, but max gobs have amazing stats and are cheap, I think I could get into bringing some of them along...though there is a risk I'll do them and then not really use them.


These upgrades all take so long I don't want to be disappointed with any of them and have to wait a couple weeks for the next lol

If you war - PEKKA & Freeze seem to be the most important upgrades from TH9 from what I've seen with freeze the more important of the two.

Mind you I'm only TH9 and have a long way to go to complete even that research.

For farming I'd suggest the standard Giants/Barbs/Archers

If you upgrade freeze a few times you will be able to lavaloon suitable cities with lvl 1 infernos for three stars so I would suggest that since war seems to be your top priority.

My clan leader recommended I start with freeze (I have only been TH10 for a couple weeks now) so that is what I have been doing. It is a little rough having no TH10 troops for so long (freeze upgrades take 36 days, plus the 6 days to upgrade the lab itself) so I will be TH10 for about 2 months before I finish my first troop upgrade, but I am getting by and having a powerful freeze will probably provide a nice benefit.

I'm in the same boat. I've only been TH10 for two days. I immediately did the lab & spell factory and gemmed the lab done so I could max the golem first (for war AQ kill squad). 15 days wait! Crazy. I was going to do the hound next, but you've got me thinking about the freeze now. Might be better to max it first.
I did also start a camp to max to begin getting more troop space. I'm planning on going the offense only route until all offense is done, then upgrading all defenses. I was maxed for TH9 coming in, including lavas, so I think I'm good otherwise. On gold, I did the CC and now just dump it into zaps as I get enough.

Th 10 for 2 weeks here, I also upgraded golems 1st, then started wizards ( don't forget them, lvl 6 are quite good) and plan on doing freeze spell next. I farm more than war but believe when I war, it should be with the strongest army possible.

What do you believe, in order, gives you the strongest war army possible? Vs max TH9? vs TH10?

What strategies and what troops/spells?

Thats just not true. There isn't much of a stat jump from lvl 5 to lvl 6. I've maxed hogs. Probably next is loons. Then drags. Depends on how you attack. But if you are going for ground try to upgrade the troop type that has the largest stat jump.

If you are th10 without max hogs and loons, and are still considering max dragon as a viable attack against other th10s, I think your priority list may be way different than mine.

Yeah...I'm talking TH10 troops here. Hogs were the second thing I maxed right after going to TH9. (giants - hogs - heal - loons to open)
