In my experience an Xbow (or 3 of them) set to Ground and Air with sufficient Air Defs / Wiz Towers / Tesla / Infernos prevent Balloon attacks.....Quote:

I don't want to post here as it was not my design, I don't like taking fame for others' work. You are welcome to check me up in COC, clan Rekkies [ZA]Quote:

I just want to add one thing noone has seemed to mention yet, maxed level walls get killed off very quickly anyway, level 40 bks, aqs, max wizards and pekkas, witchs etc.. under rage they all dismantle walls in no time. Its not that the current armies ignore walls, I dont see any future army composition actually being vunerable to higher level walls. Thats why Ive been suggesting to my clan for months to upgrade to th10 sooner, not sorry so much about walls, they are not a big deal when compared to other defenses. To be honest the single biggest defense right now that will define a win or loss is your spring trap placement.
Even with hogs or balloons having high level walls can slow down clear up troops and save you trophies and resource.
If you can't be bothered then there is no point doing high level walls. Simply be aware that your base will always look less impressive and you will always have a slightly substandard base when compared to someone with the same defences who does have high level walls.
In most hog attacks, its not the hogs which end up getting the last % to either win or 3 star you. So what makes them win you ask? The supporting troops, usually the heroes and either a few wizards, minions, witches or even archers. All these attacks take up over 2 and a half minutes, many winning a few seconds before the 3 minutes. The extra health between level 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 certainly are massive contributers in winning/losing. Even against GoWiPe, the wallbreakers aren't going to break every path. Letting your inferno or cannon let off a few more shots could also be the thing to make you win. So maybe walls are useless defending in crystal and below, but once you come up to a league with bases of similar or better layouts, you'll see how important they are.
max walls or near are sexy,
low walls arent very sexy
they create further range for attackers to get to near your stuff in your walls
Yes, I've had the same thought.Quote:

I must say I don't completely agree with you. Even against hog riders walls still have a point.
The first point is that hog riders get slowed down because they have to jump over the walls, but the second yet most important thing what walls do is distract hog riders to the wrong direction.
With that, I mean that walls can drive the hog riders into the wrong direction which can be fatal sometimes.
Take a look at this base: http://clashofclansbuilder.com/plan/140105 . The hog riders are more likely to go all around and then for the townhall, which makes a 100% quite hard to achieve.
At high trophy counts you also see alot of witches & gowipe's. Walls really slow them down and then the difference between level 8 & 10 walls is quite game changing.
Shortly: Walls definetly have a point in the game
This is my opinion, let me know what you think :)
I would seriously love for you to elaborate on this statement sneakydave :) All your wisdom would be appreciated!Quote:
