TH15 upgrade order (2026)
Updated June 2026 · data 0.1.0-th18
Sitting at Town Hall 15 and not sure what to upgrade next? TH15 does not add a new hero, so it is a consolidation Town Hall: the win is pushing your existing heroes (Barbarian King 90, Archer Queen 90, Grand Warden 65, Royal Champion 40) toward their new caps before you move up. 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 TH15
For war and pushing, hero levels and your main attack strategy move your grade the most at TH15 (caps this Town Hall: Barbarian King 90, Archer Queen 90, Grand Warden 65, Royal Champion 40). 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 TH15 mistake. CoachScore's Progression dimension compares your base to the maxed TH14 baseline you should have finished before moving up, then reports exactly how rushed you are and which defensive upgrades (key defenses cap around level 17 at TH15) to catch up on.
Walls last, but not never
Walls (max level 16 at TH15) 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 TH16?
Move up once your TH15 heroes, key defenses, and main army are close to their caps — not the moment the Town Hall upgrade finishes. A CoachScore at TH15 shows whether you are maxed enough to advance without rushing into TH16.
