The basic idea of th8.5 is to give yourself favourable matchups in wars. This is achieved by upgrading your offense before your defense as in wars we are matched with opponents who have similar defenses to us. Different defensive buildings have different 'war weights' and so some people - including me - avoid building the heavy 'war weight' items until we have strong offense. This is particularly true of xbows and inferno towers, and to a lesser extent wizard towers and mortars. By doing this you set yourself up to be able to attack enemies technically stronger than you just because you prioritised your troops/heroes. I'll try to answer any questions to the best of my ability below but I'm no expert! This is a comprehensive guide to TH8.5 for all of you interested in the idea - forum.supercell.net/showthread.php/776372-The-Town-Hall-8-5-and-9-5-compilation-guide!-Everything-you-need-to-know-about-TH-8-5

I missed a lot of information out here didn't I?!
The most common suggestion I've seen for placing xbows is to wait until your heroes are level 20/20 for level 1s, level 25/25 for level 2s etc. Although if you are really keen level 15/15 would be fine I think.
In terms of the other defences, you will need your 4th AD and 4th tesla asap. They carry little war weight anyway so get them going. Most people doing th8.5 seem to favour getting the new defences to the max level for th8 and then sitting there for a while.
Once you start to be able to consistently 3 star your enemy at th9 then consider upgrading your ADs, teslas, cannons and archer towers to max th9 levels.
Of course there are lots of opinions on this and it's most important that you are enjoying the game. So don't feel this is what you have to do.
