TH11 upgrade order (2026)

Updated June 2026 · data 0.1.0-th18

Sitting at Town Hall 11 and not sure what to upgrade next? TH11 is the start of the late game, where hero levels and a real attack strategy begin to decide wars. CoachScore grades seven dimensions — Heroes, Offense, Defense, Equipment, Progression (rush), Walls, and Clan value — and orders the roadmap by cost-weighted impact toward the goal you pick.

Heroes and offense move your grade most at TH11

For war and pushing, hero levels and your main attack strategy move your grade the most at TH11 (caps this Town Hall: Barbarian King 50, Archer Queen 50, Grand Warden 20). CoachScore weights Heroes and Offense heavily under the war goal and surfaces the upgrades that close the biggest gap to a maxed account.

Don't out-run your defenses

Pushing offense while defense lags is the most common TH11 mistake. CoachScore's Progression dimension compares your base to the maxed TH10 baseline you should have finished before moving up, then reports exactly how rushed you are and which defensive upgrades (key defenses cap around level 13 at TH11) to catch up on.

Walls last, but not never

Walls (max level 12 at TH11) are the cheapest grade per resource only once heroes and key defenses are in range. CoachScore schedules walls into the roadmap at the point where they start to matter, instead of letting them swallow loot too early.

When is it safe to move to TH12?

Move up once your TH11 heroes, key defenses, and main army are close to their caps — not the moment the Town Hall upgrade finishes. A CoachScore at TH11 shows whether you are maxed enough to advance without rushing into TH12.
