Maxout at town hall 8, or move on to level 9?

my th8 base

I have heard from high players in global that upgrading buildings later on in the game is hard as available loot from town halls 7 and 8 in multiplayer battle reduces drastically.

I have uploaded a picture of my base and I want to ask should I upgrade my town hall to level 9 or stay at level 8.

Things I have taken into consideration:

available loot in multiplayer will reduce
research lab takes about 10 days to upgrade a single unit, so elixir storages fill up (accumulated due to multiplayer attacks) and elixir is not used much as every thing requires town hall 9.
mostly dark elixir loot available in town hall 8's is good comparatively to level 7's ; upgrading the town hall won't be a problem for dark elixir.
high town hall level will keep my accumulated elixir constantly in use for upgrading troops.
if you see carefully my all builders are free so time is wasted. (I could have upgraded many things if I were town hall 9)
I still have too many walls at level 7 upgrading them later will be hard.

So after considering all the things from above, should I upgrade my town hall to level 9?

You really should max out everything first or your going to spend lvl 9 wishing you had. This is a perfect level to focus in war so if you find it boring to build up everything, just focus on going trophys instead...

Should I upgrade my town hall to level 9?

Aim to upgrade your walls to at least level 9. Each upgrade at the higher Town Hall levels adds a substantial amount of HP, which will help with defending. Practice the Queen Walk. It is a very powerful tactic that can be used very effectively for farming and war attacks once you learn how to apply it.

Answer 2

I'd say completely max out if you haven't already gone to th9. The reason being is your attacks are going to change. You can debate walls...I'd say max them, but that's just me... But as far as everything else...you need your golems maxed, your pekkas maxed, you want your barb king to 10 because of the boost from that. Then you fill storages and ug so you can hit the ground running with archer queen, Xbows, lab ug, and getting your new ad and other stuff up. Spend the time in th8 and you'll get through 9 faster. War attack strategy relies heavily on drags for most in th8, but in 9 you need gowipe, gowiwi. Also if you practice them now (with maxed gols and pekks) you'll be a more effective teammate.

Answer 3

I was in the exact same position as you. But I ended up upgrading.

I always get attacked by level 110s now and I am only a level 80. I hardly ever have any gold, but elixir I always have plenty of. But still not enough for me to proceed in the game. I started playing October 2012 and quit in early 2014 because of my mistakes. There was no way I'd ever start over, but I didn't want to continue where I was at.

So no, do not upgrade yet. Definitely max out.

Answer 4

Be wary if you upgrade your TH now it will be harder to find loot. There is a thing called a "Loot Penalty". Here is a graph to help you along. For Example lets say you have a Lv.5 TH attacking a Lv.5 TH with Maxed out storages, Clash only lets you take 20% of their 1,000,000 so you'd have 200,000 available
