is th8 better than th9
7) But overall time to upgrade everything is the same, there is no point staying at TH9 doing TH8 stuff with the loot penalty. As mentioned before, farming in TH9 is as good/better than TH8. Those that suffer are the ones staying in silver1 their entire lives as TH8. Hence, there is no 'loot penalty'.h9 has more builder time than lab (due to heroes) so putting both together saves you time instead of waiting for lab in th8 then waiting for builder in th9. 3) Better resource management. At th8, you have no elixir sinks to throw anywhere. At th9, you can always dump extra gold into skulls then extra elixir to legos.
