Make sure to upgrade Lab the moment research finishes or as the first thing if you have no research going. Research takes longer than anything else so keep it going 24/7. After that put down all new buildings with the AQ as a priority. Having a bigger base with more buildings/walls is always useful and cheap/fast anyway except for the xbows. Even wooden walls can be used to funnel troops or to draw a wallbreaker. From then it depends on how fast you can farm. Offense beats defense but you need a lot of elixir to keep elixir upgrades going. Good thing is that as long as you have a couple of skull walls you can dump any extra elixir/gold into walls now.

I'll be nice and share with you guys that this is wrong. Research is on-going even when upgrading lab.

From the Wiki.

If you upgrade the Laboratory while it is researching, the research pauses until the upgrade completes.

So if you want whatever it is upgrading wait till it finishes and use the elixir for something else.

I've always read research is paused while the building upgrades.

Apparently there is a bug where sometimes your research continue during the upgrade. I didn't know that but you should at least try to get the benefit of that by having research queued when you start your upgrade. Still means you should kick off the lab upgrade right after you finished the last one but queue the next research before starting the upgrade.

If you have tons of gold left start an xbow, tons of elixir start camps.

As for research lab, only thing that will be available by upgrading to lvl 7 lab are barb, archer, giant, balloon, healer, and heal spell.

If you don't use any of those frequently, using a builder on camps is more +EV.

Forget defense, work on buildings that have higher return: DE drills, camps, etc...

Yeah, defense is last for me usually. Kind of sucks with the change back on the walls as I have 5 total upgrades left using elixir and then it's all gold after that. Upgrading DE stuff in lab too so gonna have extra e for a long time I think.

Some of these posts make no sense. You have 5 builders and drills and camps and lab, factory all take E and more E than you can handle to get them all going at once.

You won't be forgetting or holding off on defense.

His point is if you have 5 builders when you hit th9, you cannot hold enough E to upgrade camps, lab ,spells all at once

No but you can prioritize them. Often you'll have enough elixir and gold for a number of options. Especially with the boosts.

Ya pretty much what rjoefish said...

I mean obviously we are not suggesting that you should put all 5 builders on those things at the same time.

It is not like any of it really matters as long as you can farm tons of gold and elixir in gold 2 using barch. Just keep your builders busy.
