Is it worth it to max the TH9

[kmr]

Well, im more confused now lol
Anyway I think at least all of u think my 15/14 heroes suck. So i will be working to get them to 40-45 combined, work on legos meanwhile Maybe valks later, and hit the button

Thanks

Not really tbh I as a max defense th 9 I'm only doing until my lab is done and heroes are 25/25 I will dump all my excess loot into walls but that's about it walls lv 10 will take away valuable time that you can be spending in th 10

Keep clashing :-P

I was like 15-20 for King and Queen and I have been doing fine.

Now TH11 with 22-32-1 Heroes.

♥♥♥♥, no there's not...

And smart is subjective and there fore you can't be a smart rusher. There are aspects of the game you can take advantage of when you rush but at the end of the day it's all just opinion. The fact is he thinks that it's likely to have both Heros down between 25 & 30 because of an extra drill when that's not realistic at all.

You're very mistaken about loot penalty. Though gold and and elixir decreases to some extent when you go up, de greatly increases.

The main reason is stronger army allowing you to hit harder for lower cost. A th10 can survive easily in masters hitting just th9s for 2k de a piece with minimal spells and farming troops without heroes while easily gaining 70% needed for loot bonus. All the while looking for off set de from th10s and comfortably taking them

Another secret thing is that th10s tend to find inactive th10 bases or during boosts like currently. It is comparatively easier to find inactive th10s which hold 3 maxed drills, with 4k de a pop. My th11 finds them around once per hr, so I can farm de easily

Adding infernos also make it a nightmare to for attackers to get to the core for de. Since gold and elixir is harder for most people, they'll be willing to forgo coring de just to grab your elixir storages, leaving de safe. As a th9 base, you simply lack the firepower nor hp in the core to threaten any real th10 army

Fact:
It is harder as a th9 to keep both heroes down from 25 to 30 than keeping both heroes down in th10 from 30-35

In fact, my main account could keep both aq and bk down at the same time pre update, have a de troop in lab, yet overflow de a day before aq wakes up. They are separated neatly, 4 days aq, 3 days bk

Agree, but OP has quite a long road before 25/25 royals. As a fresh th10 my clanmate was always opposed to bigger th10s with high level heroes AND infernoes level 3. We loose a couple of wars, he's doing much better now with queen 25 and freeze level 5. He totally regrets upfrading to th10 with 20/20 royals (and it was pre-update)

Problem is: people have different objectives and time to dedicate to the game.
Looking at what you said, during 3 months (and who knows how many months to get to max TH9) you farmed 15/15 heroes and a few lego walls doing nothing but that, that to me is casual, very casual. People who rush are usually active, very active.

If you want to keep doing wars then don't make the mistake of going TH10 with baby heroes, simple as that (even for 2 stars). If you don't mind opting out for months or being a burden then go ahead. If you want to max the game ASAP then go ahead, you will likely give up on heroes and/or walls at some point but it's your choice. If you think endgame war gameplay is awesome then go ahead. If you think 2 stars is good enough, scouting/analyzing a base more than a few seconds/minutes is boring then go ahead (there is nothing wrong with that, only you know the answer).

My choice was to stay at TH9 and perfect 3 star strategies, if you don't care being a 3 star attacker then you might consider going TH10 where a 2 star is actually not a fail. Your mates will expect you to 3 star any TH9 as a TH10 when you step down in war though, so I hope you know what you're doing.
Just focus on heroes, screw the walls.

Short version:
- if you want to max ASAP (could not be true for walls which could likely never be maxed), hit the button.
- if you want to enjoy the war journey, don't.
Basically a choice between warring and farming, the journey or the destination.

Why even bother to go th10 should be the real question. Just stay at th9 forever and enjoy your wars. It's no fun at all being a th10 and it really takes too much effort to even think about th11.

Just enjoy the social thingy in your clan relax and just war. Slowly upgrade whatever needs to be upgraded until you maxed out totally th9 then if social life in clan remains fun continue warring. Otherwise quit whenever war becomes boring or the clan gets antisocial.

There is no perfect answer, because it depends on the clan you play in. A semi-hardcore clan rarely face hardcore clans in clan war. If your th9s have lv 8/9 walls and lv 10-15 heroes, then most probably opponents will have similar level walls. You can enjoy the game both ways. So, you can be a th10 with 15/15 heroes and lv 9 walls too, depending on clan.

In my lv 7 semi-hardcore ex-clan (now lv 8), with 140+ wins, only 1 th10 had lv 15 AQ, and only 1 th9 had lv 15 BK. We still won 7/10 wars. Our opponents had similar level heroes and walls. Rarely, 1 th9 had lv 10 walls, rarely. Most th9s aimed for 2 stars here, while few for 3 stars. They still won 7/10 wars. Player can war with 1 hero. Solid attackers can war without heroes too.

In another lv 8 hardcore ex-clan, with 240+ wins, 30-50% th9s usually had lv 10 walls. So, lv of heroes and walls were important. They aimed no less than 3 starring a th9. They won 8/10 wars. Having both heroes in war is a must, here. Leader kicked a max th9, because he opted in war, while 1 hero was under upgrade.

So, if anyone says that 15/15 heroes or lv 8 walls is a liability, then they are cute ignorant puppies, and deserve a lolipop .

Th9 reporting in.

AQ is 20 now, king is upgrading to 19 as we speak (3,5days left) and got enough to get him to 20 allready. Valks are upgrading to 4 as well. Poison 3, EQ 2 haste still lvl 1. My minions are at L4 and the rest of troops are all maxed. I'm full L9 walls, and 64 L10. I'm just grinding away my heroes and dump whatever there is left to my walls. I tend to look for bases who have everything so last couple of days I did do 14 or so walls. Not sure if my walls will be finished when heroes are finished but I'm trying to max them out as well as the rest. After that, don't know if I would push the button. Seems like a waste to go to 10 when it takes you this long to max out.

max it all very usefull in wars for th10 newbies
