Recommended TH2 Upgrade Order
TH2 introduces the first meaningful base layout choices, but it is still a short progression stage. Build everything once, strengthen the army, and avoid overthinking the order.
Simple Rule: Army capacity and resource storage matter more than perfecting every low-level defense.

QUICK ANSWERS
TH2 Upgrade Priority FAQ
What Should I Upgrade First at TH2?
Start with Army Camp, Barracks, Archer Tower. Then follow the Town Hall-specific order shown above instead of trying to upgrade everything at once.
Does TH2 Need a Full Maxing Plan?
TH2 is an early progression stage. Complete the key army, resource, and required building upgrades, then move on when the next Town Hall is available.
Should I Max Everything Before Leaving TH2?
You do not need to stay at TH2 for a long time. Finish the important army and resource upgrades, complete the required buildings, and continue progressing.
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.
