Can't decide if I should rush to th9 Help me rushers!

[Jatindevnani123]

I am confused between the idea of rushing to th9 or not. I came in th8 as a maxed th7(walls included).
I am 1.5 months into th8 now and this is my position.
Barbarians and archers to level 5 done.
Pekka will be level 3 in 3 days.
Wizard is level 5

All other troops are townhall 7 level.

For Defences and others-
2 Mortars level 6 and 2 going to level 6
1 Wizard tower level 5, 1 level 4 and 1 going to 5
Air defencea are level 5, 5 and 6.
Barbarian King is level 10.
3 level 9 Barracks and 1 level 10.
1 Dark barracks level 4 other not built.
New Elixir storage maxed and new gold storage not built.

42 Skulls all other level 7

All other things Th7 level.

Here are some reasons I wanna Skip th8 and the reasons I am hesistant to.

1 Since I started Pekka 3 my DE is sitting at 25k+ and I lose 1.5k Everytime.
I wud have invested a lot in my queen by now if i was th9.

2 I wanna try new war armies and Jump spell. Specially witches. I am a hardcore GoWiper and invested a lot in it. I want jump spellfor my gowipe.

3 I am overflowing on Elixir. Would have invested in Walls or Lab upgrade or Army camps etc.

I am a hardcore farmer 3-4 hours daily so I can farm a lot more than I give away

I dont wanna be a liability in war So I wont build xbows or new defences. So ultimately I will be maxing th8 with Th9 war capabilities and farming capabilities in some time.

Here is what I am afraid of
Loot problems. I dont want to be stuck trying to get 3million elixir for an upgrade

Thats all.

Should I rush? Is it extremely hard to get loot at th9? Is there sonething imp I should get done at th8 and then rush? Please help.

Yea Thats cool too. My other clan mate is almost maxed at th8 and can 3 star any th8 withougt DGBs. But its again 22 days to get lvl 2 hogs to level 4.

The decision to rush or not is up to you (there are plenty or pro/con threads to browse) but what ever you do get the BK 10, Giants & Loons to 5 at TH8. It's also better to get Hogs to 4 and Golems to 2.

Whether you rush or max having these troops at TH8 max is what makes the jump to TH9 worth it so you can dump all DE in AQ and get the L6 Giants/Loons to wreck havok.

Loot has been easier to acquire at th9 for me so no loot issues, though others complain about loot issues sometimes when going to th9.

I upgraded my BK non stop until 10. Giants and Loons are still level 4. The thing I am saying is I get a lot of DE accumulated till lab finishes and I start to lose it to other th9s. I lose a lot to th9s. Everytime my shield goes off I lose 1.5k of it. I can Upgrade hogs to level 3 and then 4 but again I will be sitting at lot of DE with nothibg to spend it on.

I mix it up between Barch and GiBarch, both no issues finding loot, I have found loot the most consistently in gold2/gold1 (I look for 250k+ of each and if i'm GiBarching i'll look for 2k+ DE)

[Jatindevnani123]

how about 8.5 ?

Exactly.
But th8.5 is Having th8 max defence wid th9 offence. I dont even have th8 good defences.
TH8.09 May b?
