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

[Jatindevnani123]

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)

Did you had issues to fulfill early too much requirements of elixir wid lvl 5 barch?

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.

Yeah if you're sitting on a ton of DE it can be a good idea to rush to 9 to get the AQ going but the 2 best farming army comps I've found for coring DE storages is Loonian and GiBarch both of which are much more effective with L6 troops.

It sounds like you farm a lot and can do the TH8 catchup at TH9 just know you won't have TH7s to raid anymore and it will be tough in the early going v 8s & 9s until your ACs and troops are leveled up. You can always throw an upgrade in the lab right before upgrading the lab so you don't waste the time.

But whenever you do go in to TH9 do it with at least 5M G / 5M E / 60K DE - just my opinion and if you can go in full even better but those levels will make the transition much smoother.

Just get giants & loons to lvl5 & build the gold storage (most of it can be done while upgrading TH) & you're all set for TH9. Don't worry about loot, if you are as serious as you say you are then you won't have any problems keeping all your builders busy all the time & also have level 10 AQ in about a month.

Also focus on going the 8.5 route, as it will give you an advantage in war, up till you get decent war troops done for TH9. Do loons to 6 if you concerned about war too much & add it for backend defences with gowipe, probably would get you 3 stars on a lot of bases at the beginning.

When I hit th8 I had full elixir storage. Full gold storage full CCs and full gold mines too.
I can do the same again.
But ohhh those beautiful full storages of th7😍😍

I will have a huge advantage in war with archer queen, Jump spell and +20 Army space too. But my defence will b of a low mid th8

TH8s can't defend anyway against TH9s. Those lvl6 giants just roll over you. So whats the harm in going to TH9 & getting the extra offensive power & places to dump your extra loot. When you don't have loot what will they attack you for. And if they do attack you those extra 25 walls & some of the traps will provide just that little bit of extra defence that a TH8 can't provide. So no loss for you on either end.

[Wreckingcrew]

You could spend your elixir on ythe other Barracks and get that to 4 and save up enough DE to get your Golems done to 2. The more you do now, the less you need to do at 9. If you skip getting youe DE troops up at 8 (Hog to 4, Golem to 2, Minis etc ...) you won't do them at TH9 as you now throw all your DE into the AQ.

Do the work now so that TH9 will be easier in the beginning.

Personally i dont think its a good idea to rush no matter the circumstances but i can tell you that once you get gibarch to lvl 6 and your army camps finished you will have no problem at all with loot

I maxed th8 n went to th9 with full storages..got queen straight up upgrade lab and spell factory and started an xbow as soon as the th clicked over to 9 but I thought it was worth maxing due to the th9 loot penalty..eg if u farm gold 1,2 and 3 a lot of th7 and 8s..at th8 attack a th7 u could still get a good loot amount where at th9 attacking a th7 full storages n collectors half full ur lucky to see 150k max to raid from it..so yeah up to u tho
