What should I open first in Smash Fest Level 85?

Open the upper-left shoulder first. That breaks the top ledge and makes the rest of the stepped shelves much easier to clear.

Smash Fest! Level 85 Walkthrough

hard Target: 17 moves 4 colors

Smash Fest Level 85 is a compact stepped shelf wall that clears fastest when the upper-left shoulder is opened first, because the upper layers then peel into an easier low cleanup.

Board Notes

Layout: A compact striped shelf wall is topped with small blue caps and thicker stepped shelves across the lower half. After the upper-left shoulder opens, the top layers peel away and leave a low base with a few late blue blocks.
Goal: You need to break the upper-left shoulder first, flatten the stepped middle shelves, and then clear the late low platform with the last blue caps and short striped blocks near the right side.
Opening: Start on the upper-left shoulder so the top edge loses one brace before you shoot the middle shelves.
Danger Zone: Drilling the center shelves first leaves the top shoulders intact and makes the whole wall absorb too many shots before it starts collapsing.
Mechanics: This is a compact stepped shelf board where the collapse happens in layers; once the upper-left corner opens, each lower shelf gets easier to trim in sequence.

Quick Tips for Smash Fest! Level 85 (spoiler-free)

Think of this board as stacked ledges. Open the top-left ledge first and each lower ledge becomes easier to trim without wasting shots.
With 4 colors in play, clear the pair with the fewest blockers first so the board opens up instead of tightening.
Think in chain clears. The best move is the one that sets up the next two moves, not just the quickest current match.
