MagmaHound's Strategy Guides/A General Guide To Upgrading Order

Hello, this is a short guide to upgrading order. This applies to all TH levels, actually, so yeah. I will be explaining why you upgrade in that order.

So What do I Upgrade First?
Note: This order assumes that you have a maxed TH prior to getting a new TH.

Defenses

 * 1) Your new traps. They don't take any time to build, so why not do it now.
 * 2) Your newly unlocked defenses. Although it might take up to week until they function in your village they do work immediately in your War Bases, as level 1 defenses.
 * 3) Your new defenses at your Town Hall level. Upgrade them to the level that was the maximum for the previous TH level. The reason is because you should balance your defenses and whatnot. It is better to have, for example all level 8 Cannons than having one level 10 Cannon and the rest all level 5 and 6.
 * 4) Your Inferno Towers, if you have them. They are extremely intimidating, although expensive, but if you can farm the 6+ million gold needed to upgrade them then do so.
 * 5) Your X-Bows. Although it might be overrated they are extremely long-range defenses, capable of covering almost the entire base. That means any farmer will have to deal with the X-Bow until it is destroyed. Don't fret, it has a great amount of HP, so it'll take a while before it goes down.
 * 6) Your splash defenses, namely Wizard Tower and Mortar. You don't want to let your enemies easily farm you with Barch or any Tier 1 composition. They do damage multiple targets despite their relatively low DPS.
 * 7) Hidden Teslas. A great surprise to the attacker, although expensive, they are cheaper than most defenses at higher levels, because their price is near-linear. Plus, they deal the highest constant DPS in the game.
