After doing s.f., lab, camps, AQ and dark barracks prioritize everything that attacks air first because th9 brings a whole new air game that you can't defend that easily. Get your AQ to lv5 asap, you'll need her ability to attack other th9s, don't put it off, just do it!



As for troops upgrade loons asap as it opens the door to strong HoLo attacks and other hybrid attacks that utilize balloons. Get your hogs to lv5 while your dark barracks are upgrading so that you can get your hounds to lv2 quickly as well. You do realize that I haven't mentioned upgrading your barch during this process yet, because you don't need to. Upgrade your barch in the middle stages of th9 when you start grinding out heroes. As you are farming DE you'll make more than enough to accomplish this.



Enjoy 8.5 while you can, it doesn't last long because soon you'll be going against maxed th9s anyway.



Good luck!
