Jay's TH10 Progression Thread

[ThatSuspiciousSuspect]

Thanks for replying! It seems loot at TH10 isn't so bad as I thought o.o

Another question, with TH8 defenses do you get 3 starred each time you log off? I have a near max TH8 thinking of jumping to TH10 to enjoy cool stuffs like xbow and inferoes

1. Nah I'm just getting lucky finding all of these collector filled TH9s and TH10 bases. When it comes to raiding, if you're a TH10, the only Townhall level that you can get 100% loot on are Townhall 10s ONLY, anything lower will give you less loot than what they actually have available. (TH10 vs TH10 = 100% loot available, TH10 vs TH9 = 75% loot available, TH10 vs TH8 = 50% loot available, and so on.)
2. Honestly, its kinda rare to be 3 starred for me. For example, in most recent war which was last night, I got 44% no-starred by the enemy clans TOP player, and he used Quatro-lavaloon. Even in multiplayer, unless someone uses a completely maxed GoWiPe or anything like that, so it's usually unlikely for me to get 3 starred unless the attacker knows what their doing of course.
3. I suggest going to TH9 once you've maxed out your TH8, because if you go straight to TH10 just for the infernos and 3rd xbow, and if you war at all, then with those strong defenses, they will add so much war weight onto your base, its not even going to be funny. Trust me.

I think for the near future you should be dumping gold into walls and keep concentrating on your elixir builds.

The only time I would upgrade a defense for a while is if you don't have the elixir needed for an upgrade but you are sitting on gold. At that point I'd probably upgrade a defenses more based on builder management - that is when will the builder free up to be the most use for the next upgrade. I often pick an upgrade based on spacing out my builders freeing one up every 1.5 to 2.5 days rather than what might be the "best" upgrade for me to make.

If you do decide to upgrade a defense I agree w/ Taisen - WTs will help your framing base the most - teslas (because of the boost and time to max them) will help most on your war base.

So are you suggesting I work on the walls later? after I get my defense up a bit more?

Update(October, 27th):



Well as you can see, I've started upgrading a Wizard Tower, My Queen to level 9 and my Archers to level 6. On top of that, I have 2 days left on my second to last army camp and about 4 days 16 hours left on my Clan Castle, also, if you haven't noticed, I managed to upgrade 6 walls with the extra gold I had in my storages, so that makes it 6 less walls to worry about, only 238 to go till I have nothing but level 8 and 9 walls, so yeah, I'm getting there.

No the opposite. Put all gold into walls EXCEPT when you don't have enough elixir to put a builder busy.

The only things that I can use my elixir on that will keep my builders busy are my laboratory, army camp, dark spell factory, gold mines and dark drills. But if I may ask, how does my elixir come into this whole thing? Are you saying that if I have no elixir to upgrade any of those things, thats when I should start working on my walls?

Maybe I'm not expressing myself right.

#1a - priority keep heroes upgrading anytime you can
#1b - priority keep the lab buzy

#2a - dump all gold into walls
#2b - your builders should be nearly all elixir builds until finished: de drills to 6, labratory upgrade to max, army camp and dark spell factory probably in that order but you can juggle to suit your needs.

#3 - if you don't have enough elixir to do an elixir upgrade build BUT you have a free builder AND spare gold, then upgrade a SHORT defensive upgrade to give you time to farm elixir for one of the expensive long elixir builds in item #2b.

That way when you are done with your elixir builds you should have a lot of skull walls which you can then upgrade with elixir to legos and lavas and at that point you can pour gold into defensive upgrades.

Does that make more sense?

Sorry, its like 3am, and that just sounded more complicated than anything I've read tonight , again, sorry. I'm just tired.

Can you just answer this.. Whats with the #Xa and #Xb? (X representing the number). Sorry. Again... Too tired to comprehend and understand anything tonight.

1a and 1b are most important
2a and 2b are next most important
3 is fall back plan if you can't do an item in 1 or 2.

and wow we are on different time zones it's like 9am here.

Okay I gotta admit, knowing that actually made it far more clearer than before. Thanks.

Yeah, I'm in Australia, so the time difference between us Australians and other nations can differ between 30 minutes and about 21 hours at the most... Give or take.

Update(October, 29th):

It seem to be that in less than 7 hours, my second to last army camp upgrade finishes, so then right after that, it look like 1 more army camp until I can have 240 troop capacity at my disposal !
