Laboratory, Army Camps, Clan Castle, and spell access
TH9 opens several viable armies. Capacity and research let one of them become usable quickly instead of leaving a collection of low-level unlocks.

TH9 Progression Plan
Practical, offense-first guidanceThe objective at this level
Coordinate three heroes and an X-Bow era without starving the Laboratory
Town Hall 9 adds the Minion Prince, X-Bow, Baby Dragon, Witch, Lava Hound, Jump, Freeze, Haste, and Skeleton Spells, plus the Lab Assistant. That is a large jump in hero, army, and base complexity. The useful approach is to establish one dependable farming and war army, schedule hero downtime around it, and choose X-Bow modes based on the threats your layout is meant to handle.
Written by Patrick Nguyen. Reviewed against ClashVault dataset v1.2.0. This sequence is a flexible default: keep upgrades that improve your regular army ahead of optional defensive polish.
Queen, King, and Minion Prince schedule
Define which hero is essential to your current army and stagger downtime when possible. The goal is continuous progress without making every planned attack unusable.
X-Bows and core layout coverage
X-Bows reshape the defensive core. Their mode and placement should support Air Defense, splash coverage, and likely paths rather than simply occupy the center.
Suggested builder sequence
- Start Laboratory, Camp, Clan Castle, and spell-building upgrades, then begin research for one TH9 army.
- Place the Minion Prince and create a repeatable hero rotation based on the heroes that army requires.
- Use the Lab Assistant consistently on the research bottleneck instead of changing targets without a plan.
- Build X-Bows and position them with intentional modes, then upgrade Air Defense, splash, and high-impact traps.
- Complete secondary armies, remaining defenses, heroes, collectors, and walls after the primary attack is dependable.
Ready to advance when
- At least one TH9 army has current troops, spells, Clan Castle capacity, and a clear hero requirement.
- Hero upgrades follow a schedule rather than consuming Dark Elixir whenever a random builder becomes free.
- X-Bow modes match the layout's air and ground weaknesses and are protected by overlapping defenses.
- Laboratory research has remained active and the Lab Assistant is assigned to a meaningful bottleneck.

Data Methodology
Dataset v1.2.0What these levels mean
Each number is the highest level that entity can reach while your Home Village is Town Hall 9. It is a reference ceiling, not an upgrade-priority ranking or a snapshot of one player’s base.
How we maintain the dataset
ClashVault maps entity IDs from real player exports, then checks level caps against update notes, in-game observations, and established community references. The current dataset was reviewed on .
