How to become a town hall 8.5 village by leoralphv TH 8.5 Clan Leader
I am writing this guide for those players who want to become a Town Hall 8.5.
I am the leader of TH 8.5 Clan and I created the clan 09 October 2016 to accommodate all those TH 8.5 players.
Along our clan's journey I have noticed a lot of details on how to properly build a TH 8.5 base not only for a single player's advantage but for the clan as a whole.
The main purpose of having this build is to have a war advantage which I can say is really effective because of having a war weight as good as of a town hall 8.
My guide can also be used not only to those who want to have a TH 8.5 base but also 7.5, 6.5 or even 5.5 and so on...
My base is a max TH 8.5 village for reference you can visit my clan and view leoralphv.
A town hall 8.5 starts with a max town hall 8. When I say max it includes everything troops, walls, buildings and heroes. Do not rush becoming a town hall 9 without upgrading everything at their max.
Upon reaching TH 9. The number 1 rule I always tell to my clan is do not buy any new defenses which include defense towers such as archer towers, wizard towers, teslas etc. Also TH 8.5 built are prohibited to buy new walls. The archer queen is not yet advised maybe in the later part of the game. So these are the basic rules of a TH 8.5.
To sum up numerically:
1. Upgrade TH 8 to max (buildings and troops).
2. Upgrade town hall to 9 last and do not buy any defenses (no walls and no new buildings)
Note: Before having the recent updates in COC air defense, air sweeper and bomb tower are not in the shop for TH 8. So personally it is better not to buy these defenses. MOTTO: Less defenses but upgraded ones are better.
Next question is what are the step by step guide in upgrading a TH 8.5? Okay I will answer this but this actually depends on the player. For the sake of sharing my experience as the leader of the TH 8.5 clan and having a high clan war stars won and an excellent war log status I will share this guide.
Mandatory Steps:
- Upgrade Clan Castle to increase war troops space
- Upgrade Laboratory so you can get started on TH9 troops
- Upgrade Army Camps for the additional troops
- Build and Upgrade Traps and bombs (Tesla is not included in the trap)
- Upgrade Spell Factory
- Upgrade all storages and pumps to Max TH9
- Upgrade all Barracks to TH9 Levels
- Buy Archer Queen and upgrade until Level 10.
After finishing the mandatory steps
- Upgrade Dark Spell Factory to obtain the Haste Spell
- Upgrade troops (You can prioritize dark troops)
- Build all new storage and upgrade them to match your existing TH8 max levels
- After the Archer Queen reaches Level 10. Upgrade the Barb King to Level 15. The strategy here is always upgrade the Barb King first before the Queen,
- What is the order of upgrading the defenses and buildings?
- Clan Castle
- Laboratory
- Spell Factory
- Army Camp
- Archer Towers
- Air Defenses
- Wizard Towers
- Canons
- Mortars
- Teslas
- Barracks
- Dark Spell Factory
- Do not buy walls just upgrade and max
NOTE: Never buy additional defenses and walls. You can buy gold and mince storage and upgrade all the gold/elixir collectors right after the clan castle or you can do it after everything.
What is the order of upgrading the troops?
Also Note that Dark Troops are Prioritized than the Standard Troops, I will just mention the important ones as a war advantage.
Valkyrie
Golem
Hogs
Archer Queen until Level 10
Barbarian King until Level 15
Archer Queen until Level 15
Max Barbarian King
Max Archer Queen
Wizards
Balloons
Dragons
Townhall 7.5
The same strategy of building max upgrade your th 7 then do not buy anything when you reached TH 8.
Additional Question:
What will happen if you already finished everything for a TH 8.5 line up?
Proceed to upgrading your town hall do not buy anything just upgrade.
