Offence should be your first upgrades, so get those army camps, lab, spell factory and troops up first.
You should max your barch and other farming troops first, then your primary war troops such as golems, wizards etc.
The way you want to do heroes, my method, is to continue upgrading both of them at once until they are both maxed. The reason for this is so that once you max out you can use heroes as much as you want for wars and pushing without having to worry about them, so better get them done with early.
If you cannot farm both at once, thats ok, just do one at a time and alternate. When the queen is up, you can do war, but when the king is up you should just take a break from wars. You need to at least upgrade always one at a time or you will definitely fall behind.
The heroes are the most important and longest upgrade, so those should be priority one. They will take 1 week per level for every level you have left, half that if you do both at once.
Walls will also take a very long time, as it will cost 1.1 billion from all lava to all magma. You can either hardcore grind them or take it slow and easy.
If you decide to do defences, do so in this order:
Inferno
X-Bow
Mortar
Wizard Tower
Air Defense
Tesla
Archer Tower
Cannons
Traps
Now its not crucial that you follow that order, in fact its vastly up to you. I think the most important though is definitely Infernoes, and the least important are archer towers and cannons and traps. Anything else in between you can do whatever order you want.
My current technique to upgrading is to put 2 builders for heroes, 2 for defenses and 1 for walls. Now if you aren't active enough you can obviously tweak it to 1-3-1 or even 1-4-0, respectively. I farm fast so to make the most of my resource I prioritise to make everything finish roughly the same time.
As for your lab, you need to keep it constantly going or you won't have enough time as there are so many upgrades to do. Upgrade what you use most first, which is probably farming troops unless you are hardcore war player, then do war troops first. More useless upgrades such as valkyries or Earthquake spell you can just hold off until later.
My farming technique is to use Barch at Crystal league to get the collectors and drills, and snipe Town Halls for bonus. Its very fast and will get lots of DE and resources, for a cheap price.
Town Hall 10 will be fun and long journey, so good luck!
! I maxed walls all 250 of them finished Lavas. I won't lie I should of worked on hero's a lot more than I did, Current hero's: BK20/AQ21. On to the main point of this thread other than bragging about my th9.... I'm planning on doing th9.5 because I'm leader in my clan and we love to war, so I'm doing th9.5 for the clan. Just a few questions that would be great if you guys answered them. I've maxed my Gold and Elixer storages, Maxed out my CC War Loot, and finally bought a week shield to max out my pumps and collectors! I will post a few photos down below! Thanks for reading guys!
