Town Hall 8 (also known as, TH8) is an easy stage in Clash of Clans!
You get new troops like the Golems and Valkyries!
With so many new things unlocked, players get confused what to upgrade first!
To solve that problem, I've written this article!
In this article, I've explained the ideal Town Hall 8 upgrade priority order in detail!
If you follow this guide, you will max out your Town Hall 8 super fast and without much hassle!
So, without any further ado, let's get started!
TH8 Upgrade Priority Order
So, as soon as you reach Town Hall 8, here's the upgrade priority order which you should ideally follow to max out your base super fast:
First and foremost, upgrade your Laboratory. This will help you to upgrade your TH8 troops to their max levels, building up your offense.
Next, upgrade your Hero Hall.
Then, upgrade your heroes one by one, on the side!
After that, setup your Blacksmith!
Army camps don't have any upgrade in Town Hall 8, so that's gonna save us some resources and time!
Once you get an available builder after you do the above upgrades, start setting up the new defenses (like the Bomb Tower) and traps (skeleton trap) one by one.
Next up, upgrade your Clan Castle. This increases your troop capacity from 20 to 25, and unlocks +1 spell capacity (which was previously 0).
Upgrade your Dark Barracks, which will unlock the Valkyrie, and then the Golem.
Setup and upgrade your Dark Spell Factory, which unlocks the Poison spell, and then, the Earthquake spell.
Next, upgrade your Barracks, which unlocks the P.E.K.K.A.
Now that the offensive parts have been taken care of, upgrade your Gold Mines and Elixir Collectors.
There are no upgrades available for Gold and Elixir Storages in Town Hall 8, so that saves us some time and resources!
Upgrade your Dark Elixir Storage.
Then, upgrade your traps one by one on the side, since they are an integral part of your base's defense, breaking your opponent's heavy attacks!
Now, it is time to upgrade the defenses in your base! Start with Air Defenses, Hidden Teslas, Air Sweepers, Bomb Towers, Wizard Towers and move on to other defenses!
Once your Laboratory is built up, start upgrading troops and spells, depending on which attack strategies you use.
If you are a Dragon attack strategy enjoyer, then upgrade your Dragon first, and the spells (maybe, Rage) that you are going to require!
