Mex's Th8.5 GuideA lil somethin' from the author...
What's Up Homies! Mex man is back here again to give you the ULTIMATE townhall 8.5 guide for the clasher who wants to wow their clan in war. Here I'll give you the best tips on how to maximize your fun in wars during the big th9 upgrade skill jump. Thanks first and foremost for visiting our page and I can only hope you love th 8.5 as much as Whitey, Moonlee, Tdl2014, and myself (Mexellent91) have. It truly is the most fun you'll ever have in wars and we encourage you to follow the guide.LET'S DO THIS!
What is th8.5?
Town hall 8.5 is when you upgrade to th9 but keep your defenses at th8 level in order to keep your WAR WEIGHT low, your walls strong, and your troop level high.
War Weight
War weight is the strength of your base defensively. Some things carry a lot of weight, take x-bows for example, while others carry little to no war weight, such as walls. The higher your war weight, the higher you rank in war and the HARDER your match ups will be.
Why should I do 8.5, Mex?
BECAUSE IF YOU DON'T, I WILL KICK YOU REALLY HARD......just kidding =). In all sincerity Town hall 8.5 is a good strategy to follow in order to benefit you first and the clan as well. It will make your transition to town hall 9 so much more pleasant and fun. You'll be matched up against easy th8 bases while having the resources of a th9.
I don't like getting three starred by th9s Mex, I need my X-Bows!
Slam on the brakes there buddy! It's all part of the plan. There are chances you'll get 3 starred by some higher rank th9 because you don't have x-bows, but that's okay. Even if you get three starred, you'll be getting 6 stars almost every war because you will soon have stronger troops than all the opposing th9s. X-Bows are OVER RATED! Also once your walls are strong enough, people will have a hard time 3 starring your base more often than not.
Okay, enough questions guys, lets get to the main thing here with the Upgrade priority! =D |
8.5 UPGRADE PRIORITY!
- Lab
- Spell Factories, both to max level
- Archer Queen, get her to 10 asap
- Army Camps
- Dark Barracks
- Upgrade and build ALL TRAPS
- Upgrade and build all Storage buildings
- De Drills to max level asap, why? because you get 5,000 de a day with max drills!
- Walls! get them all to level 9 slow and steady or quick
- Get your 4th air defense to level 6
- Get your second air sweeper to level 4
- Once all walls are level 9, you can choose to build the rest of your defenses or you can continue the wall grind to level 10 while keeping defenses the same.
- Keep upgrading heroes as much as you like.
Research Lab
Now for the research Lab, there's no set priority. Here you have the choice to upgrade your favorite troops first, whatever they may be. I love using the Mex Howipe, so I upgraded those troops first. But i do recommend you max your spells as soon as possible because spells are used in every attack. Have fun with your new th8.5 and if you have any questions, feel free to hit up Mexcellent91 or any of the other coleaders. Thanks for reading my work and keep on clashin hard homies!
