8.5 Theory Questions

I have a few questions about transitioning to TH9 using the 8.5 theory and I am hoping you experts can help me answer them in your opinions/experiences.

The theory is to build your offensive units/buildings first as I understand it. I've heard building the air d, teslas, and traps/bombs is smart for wars. Am I on track? The next questions will be based using yes as the answer to that question.

Do you upgrade the existing defenses while improving offense?

Should you build the additional walls available to you?

Where would you find base designs for an 8.5? I've struggled to find much in my searches.

Thank you for the help/information. It is much appreciated.

So no one has a thought about this? Is this frowned upon or wrong?

how are you still th8 and level 139?

I'll give you a run down on I approached 8.5.
-Build traps, walls, spell factory, lab, queen, and de drill first off
-Besides walls, the only defense you want to build is the 4th air defense. Air Ds for some reason are weighted incredibly low so that's why you can get away with it.
- For the first month you should only being doing elixir upgrades such as de drills and your queen with de. Your clan castle is the only initial gold upgrade you will do. Dump every piece of gold you farm into walls.
-Once you max all of you're elixir upgrades you can start upgrading air defenses and teslas.

For bases you can either make your own from scratch or adapt a th8 design.

This thread can answer all your question.

Thank you for the information. I've got a plan but just wanted to get people's opinions that have done it.
