What do you guys think? Realistically I only think i'd be able to do level 9 walls if I leave a builder free. Would it be worth it to slow my progress defensively just for the walls? Thanks in advance.

How does your setup look like?
YESSS!!!! I am a max TH8(everything), just about to hit TH9 in a few days. I am planning on putting 4 of my builders to work where as I will leave the 5th one open, but at the same time not wasting time. What you should do with the fifth one is complete short upgrades so you don't max out you gold storage and not be able to upgrade your walls.
How? well, upgrade the traps, they are pretty short and will leave you enough time to max storage. Another thing, whenever one of the other four builders are close to finishing something (about a day left) put the fifth builder to work. That way you only have to wait for about a day and won't waste time of having a max gold storage.
Now, there is no rush at all of finishing TH9 to head to TH10. Th10 is much more difficult to farm. You need to get them walls up and AQ/BK.
Those 2 things are lacking from most players.
http://i42.tinypic.com/11l7j1l.jpg This is my current base(just hit town hall 9 a few days ago). I'm planning on upgrading my aq when my wt finishes and doing the last of my level 8 walls with the gold.
Hmmm yeah idk... I think it helps but there may be better things to spend gold on... Namely mortars, wizards, x-bows :rolleyes:
if you care about walls, and are able to farm alot, then do your walls. At th10, few seriously farms walls due to the inefficient nature of it. Now that might change if SC ever decides to drop upgrades to additional Tier 1 units so that TH10 are able to farm th9 efficiently...
I think that lvl 9 walls are worth it, because they can take 2 Level 5 wbs and 1 raged lvl 5 isn't enough either. I am doing them myself with a free worker. This is why the Upgrades take too long and I'd have 8 mill Gold while waiting for my Upgrades to finish up.
Dont listen to other people they dont know what they are talking about, sayin that lvl9 walls will do much better is just nonsens, it takes 3 wallbreakers to get through one lay. The cost of one is expensive(not much but when it comes to your defense i wouldnt do it) Maybe it will slow down the troops a bit, but its not worth it (now when i look at your defense). Anyway, my setup looks somehow like yours, if i were you i would save up for 2 xbows, and upgrade them to lvl 2. After that you can do the wall upgrade and defense together. The xbows in the core obviously..
Lvl 9 walls are a big step up from lvl 8. Attacking bases with lvl 9 walls are nearly impossible. I am maxed everything at th9 except archer towers. I would try to upgrade at least 3 things at a time and upgrade walls in between those upgrades. Lvl 10 only for clashoholics.
Well, I was convinced by Vinny's posts on this thread and here is my base now. I didn't once leave a builder free to do them and I think my progress has been pretty good.http://i41.tinypic.com/28kllbb.jpg
Nice job, very impressive!
Who needs walls :)
They make a huge difference if you can afford them. Level 6-8 walls all only take 2 level 5 wallbreakers to destroy, making lvl 8 walls nice to look at but overrated imo. Plus, with the prevalence of hogs, walls mean even less. With that said, having lvl 9 walls that require 3 wb is crucial, esp if you attempt trophy hunting.
certainly. i notice a huge difference, they scare off most attackers an will help me come next hunt
I don't find those lvl 9 walls important when sc released lvl 6 WB.
I went TH 10 with lvl 7 walls.
Just max your troops and defense towers first. Walls are the last thing to do.
upgrade all your defenses first max them
I went to th10 with level 7 walls but all my defenses were maxed I even went up to masters and stayed there for a few weeks. I did all my walls to lvl 9 and stopped I did that last week anytime there is an upgrade to the defenses I start to farm. did all my AT and then went back to walls...
I would start with your inner walls since a WBS will get through the outer layers anyways...but may or may not make it to the following layers wich will let your defenses pound your attacking troops
Depends what your goal is. A dedicated farming clan (like mine :P) will use walls as a standard of measuring how hardcore of a farmer you are. And it has nothing to do with cups or how well you can defend, just pure loot numbers.
Given the prevalence of hogs and ballonions lvl 9/10 walls may feel like a waste, especially between 2100-3000 cups. However with 8 wall breakers, 60 barbs, 145 ish archers, and some well placed rage spells I will take 2 storages from any th9 base with pink walls. So I think they are a good idea. Definitely do them before town hall 10 if you are going to do them at all, th9 farming is much easier still.
Yes the extra L5 wb that most people carry needed to break through them is a bonus.. but considering wb's rarely if ever reach the 1st / 2nd layer of a good base design, this leaves troops to have to break through another 1k HP of wall compared to skulls. I don't know about you but 1k for troops is a lot and will make a significant difference on defence. Now lavas.. 1.5k up on LEGO's.. need I say more.:rolleyes:
