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

You'll do fine at 9. Great loot. I'd suggest making sure you at least get golems rolling in lab before going up though, a full month of golem upgrades at th 9 to contend with

MAX EVERY TROOP THAT YOU HAVE. Seriously, if you know what what your doing rushing isn't all that bad, but don't go th9 without max th8 troops and along the way max some th8 defense. The transition wasn't too hard, but if you don't have your troops max, it will be Very hard.

[paddybhoy1888]

If you war, then doing it this way is the absolute worst way you possibly could have thought of it. The war weight of a max TH8 with what amounts to a useless 3 star offense on 90% of maxed TH8s is a major problem

As far as I was aware it was best to Max out then move up seems I was told wrongly then.
We do war back to back also with tough matchups most of the time tbh. Would u say go up to 9 and do the 8.5 sort of thing u til I get Max troops etc?

Yes, you want to max it out. The issue, of course, is the order. Without level 4 hogs, you are at significant disadvantage in your ability to three star max TH8s, which is the type of person you bring in.. Thus, your defense was ahead of your offense and you're a net liability to the war effort. Obviously, too late for you to do anything about it now, but if you value winning wars you should definitely encourage your fellow TH8s to max hogs right after dragons and long before the king or any other dark troop upgrade.

Yeh for warring prob better but doesn't bother me i don't war n all I do is farm with barbs n archers so I just stuck it out..lol like I've got max golems for th9 n never even have made one yet or a jump spell llol

Warring is a bit tricky as a rusher, but it can be done well for war.

Some guidelines for war

• You mirror is not who you should be attacking. Mirror is based on only roughly equal defenses. Rushers upgrade their offense more than their defense and so they bring a higher base to the table than mirror.

• If you are the bottom TH9 in your clan, you should measure yourself against how you attack against the enemy's bottom TH9/top TH8 ish. (if they have more TH10/TH9 than your clan, your appropriate target might not be the bottom TH9, but a few up, etc)

• Attack for 3 stars, not 2. It's harder, but 2 stars in wars can be done in your sleep at TH9 (a lot of golems (6 ish), rest wizards, 3 jumps and a rage should clear max TH9 for 2 fairly reliably. maybe only 5 golems and more wizards, but I'm partial to lots of golems.)

• Give yourself a month of leeway to get established at TH9 before holding yourself to the low TH9 portion of that standard. If you can farm for AQ10 in that month, BK10/AQ10 and level 1 hounds/level 6 loons can clear 3 star low TH9's. (65k and under) You'll want to upgrade Balloon, Jump, Hound in that order.

Ah got ya now .yeah its a bit late now lol but I rarely use hogs anyway but I will look up some YouTube vids and learn them . my golems got 4days then I'll start the hogs up again . so should I stay and do the rest of the walls or jump up and finish them there that's my main question tbh sort of at a stalemate right now doing 6-7 walls a day if I'm lucky

You only need farming troops. If you can farm and play in sessions you can get everything else.

I would say you can go either way. One thing to consider is you will not have the time as a TH8 which is way different than TH9, wheras again there are many benefits to rushing as well. I actually rushed with a second account I have and so far it has turned out pretty well. Here is the link to me rushing to TH9 and not being a liability in war. It's essentially a rushed 8.5 sort of deal. So far in war I am below most TH8s but I can attack any TH8 and usually the weakest TH9 as well. It's not an easy task to do but I have real war logs, attack logs, defense logs, and reflections on my experiences in the whole process. I really think it could be a benefit to you. Hope this helps.
