Skipping th8?

[Kazouma]

Tell me how a th9 playing barely a year (started Sept last year) get heroes 25/25 without gems? Never maxed any town hall level especially th8 before th9. I rush earlier because i want high level archer queen and barbarian king as soon as possible. In my case, i can rush to th10 but didn't enough war yet. TH10 war is another different league at the moment.
P/s: I'm not max defenses th9 yet but both heroes around late 20. So rushing can be beneficial for you, depending on your purposes of the game.

I have 2 th9 accounts. One coming from a near max 8 (3/4 skulls & de spells left) and the second coming from a max 7 then skipped 8. I have no regrets on either decision. If this is your first account, then you should spend some time at 8. Build up troops and learn how to do the various styles of hogging, gowipe, and valk based attacks. Doing this helped me immensely when I created my second account. If you choose to rush don't go until your elixer based stuff, especially de drills and storage, are done. Gibarch and loons must be at lvl 5 before go as well. This will take you a month. Morgauth, Sin of Dusk, and Sservis all have excellent resources to help you. Good luck and happy clashing!

Silly maxxers, I eat maxxed TH8s on my breakfast.

IF you just want the offensive power e.g. for war then i'd suggest doing the offensive upgrades at TH8 and do defence later - but it's going to mean that you will be a weak TH9 and people will farm you more.

This all day .... so please feel free to rush up to TH9 as I need more loot.

A clannie of mine tried to do this and completely skipped TH8 and went strait to 9. He struggled to the point he left the game for a while as it was just to frustrating to try and catch up. He left the clan and has moved on.

Good luck

If you play alot like 6+ hours a day and if cups don't mean anything to you and if you can find loot constantly & consistently, then you should be fine.

Biggest problem for a rush TH9 is ofc the dammed Gibarch.

If you search for Ashe desings and place Gbs inside the seggregation Wall, you will be fine.

But, anyway. You will always be fine as you can always dump 1kk on Walls every time and never have a drop of resources to be steal.

Once you start Lavas you're screwed.

TH8 is a transition level, where you really need to start getting into the strategy of attacks toward the end. There is a big difference between a TH7/new TH8 and a max TH8. I think you're going to struggle if you try to skip it.

I'm a looner, and have a TH9 with lev 6 loons, and a TH8 with level 5 loons. Level 6 loons are great, but level 5 loons are pretty good as well, especially against weaker TH8 bases. I would stick with them for a while at least.

TH8 sure is boring, but it's also one of the best TH levels for farming, in my personal experience. I wouldn't skip it, especially because it brings a heck load of new buildings and upgrades... There's a lot to farm.
