Recommended TH15 Upgrade Order
Town Hall 15 has enough upgrade paths that a clear order saves Builder time and keeps attacks competitive. Start with the new content and offensive core, then progress Heroes and the strongest defenses.
Simple Rule: Finish one dependable army and its supporting Hero setup before spreading resources across lower-priority upgrades.

QUICK ANSWERS
TH15 Upgrade Priority FAQ
What Should I Upgrade First at TH15?
Start with Laboratory, Monolith, Spell Tower, Pet House. Then follow the Town Hall-specific order shown above instead of trying to upgrade everything at once.
Should Offense or Defense Come First at TH15?
For most players, offense should come first because stronger farming and war attacks fund every later upgrade. Build the offensive foundation, then improve the strongest defenses.
Should I Max Everything Before Leaving TH15?
You do not need every collector, trap, or wall completed before moving on, but your main army, key buildings, and Hero progression should be strong enough to farm and attack reliably at the next Town Hall.
Is This the Only Correct Upgrade Order?
No. This is a balanced recommendation. Builders, Magic Items, preferred armies, war schedule, and available resources can justify changing the order.
