Now that ballons/minions attack combo are popular and jump spells (at 40 secs), it seems kinda irrelevant to bring all walls up to lvl 8 and beyond. Maybe at certain corners and popular attack positions. I mean if you clash 24/7 and have the gold to make it rain on dem walls, then go ahead. To the average, non high tier, non gemmer clasher I think lvl 7 is sufficient with maybe lvl 8 walls around the center and corners.
What do you think?
I think walls add an intimation factor and plus the difference in looks between lvl6 pinkies and lvl 8 skulls is massive!skulls make a base look stronger i thinkQuote:

It boils down to whether you want the high level walls or not. They sure help out against any cleanup crew the attacker will send.
Amen to this!! But to answer your question, IMO, you always want to keep your walls at a lvl where it takes two wall breakers to bust. If you can farm enough to go higher, do it, otherwise don't worry about it. If I could farm the 1-2-4 million a piece walls I would, but dang, that a lot of time.Quote:

Walls beyond lvl8 skulls should do a small amount of damage per wall,I mean spikes fire electricity and none do damage when attacked?
and the spike walls should retract in an out form jump spell an hogs ...just my 3 cents worth,otherwise ima grind all walls up max upgrades....
The average regular clasher can't upgrade walls because the average regular clasher doesn't have enough time to be super active and make a decent profit margin.
Walls are useless upgrade defenses instead
All it is is intimidation
Level 8 Walls Adv. :
More HP
Huge Intimidation Factor
Requires TWO maxed level 6 wallbreakers
Level 8 is one step away from Level 9, which needs THREE maxed wallbreakers, meaning level 8 walls will soon mean hugely upgraded walls.

Meh
thats what I say about walls. With hogs and loonions they really only help against gowiwi and gowipe at a high trophy level. You can design a base that is effective against hogs and loonions with lvl 7 walls so to answer the OP, in my opinion they aren't a priority. I do dump extra gold into level 8 and 9 walls, but only after 4 of 5 builders are busy on other upgrades.
Major props to those out there that are able to devote the time to level 9 and 10 walls! I'm not one of those hardcore gamers though...
It's an aesthetic choice, for me. Granted, there's some small defensive benefit and they take forever... but I'll always upgrade them. :)
i would say that its best to keep a well rounded defense and offense regardless of what the update of the month is. Yes for a while with witches and jump, hogs, and loonions it seemed like walls were worthless. Im sure that ppl who sunk heavy cash into them certainly felt that way. BUT prior to that walls were extremely useful, and the way things are looking now (hogs nerfed, giants beefed, disco ITs killing loonions and hogs), Id say walls are becoming more relevant rather than less. And who knows what next month will bring... just because Air attacks become less popular for a while doesnt mean you should neglect air defenses. Just think bigger picture and strive to upgrade everything proportionately.:cool:
I make a point of smashing up bases that have neglected walls. Every now and then you do cross a TH10 next to no wall upgrades and it's much easier to smash up then a maxed wall base.
