L8 walls. To do or not to do?

Thing to remember is once you go to TH9 you will be getting attacked by much stronger opponents. Skull walls do see to deter people. I know when I see a base with pink or purple walls I instantly want to attack it (unless it has disco balls) even though in reality there is probably very little difference from skull walls.

I was fully maxed when I went to TH9 and have found even though I was almost always offering 350k in gold and elixir I was very rarely attacked. Considering how many people complain on here that they can’t do anything since they lose so much every time they log off it seems to make a difference.

Also when farming any attack is bad for you since even a fail attack will often mean resetting some trap or filling CC. Also gaining the trophies means when you get too high and need to drop that is one more person you are inviting to zap you de with risk of being revenged. So for this reason it is always good to have a base that doesn't encourage people to attack.

You're wrong.

I upgraded to TH9 with only 100 walls still at lvl7 and I regret it. There is so much to do as a new TH9 that the last thing I'm thinking about is walls. I should have done all 250 to lvl8.

I would do them. First of all, if you're ever planning to enjoy TH 10, you're going to need decent walls. It's not fun to farm up there, as the loot penalties take away hundreds of thousands of available loot for a high-loot target. U might as well do them, otherwise, its just going to get harder up there.

But, if you're having difficulty, go to TH 9 and rely upon raiding storages.

My suggestion would be to max your defense, queue up TH, farm as many as you can during that stretch, and finish up at TH9. Walls are a great deterrence and does help against most ground troops, but level 8 walls are easy enough to do that you can finish them at TH9 as you can easily do a handful in between upgrades when builders are free every few days. Level 9 walls are much more of a hassle, and if you want those you'll want to do them at TH9.

Personally I believe in a pro premie strategy. Keep your builders busy and raid as much as you want. When you max your townhall's walls, move on. Doesn't matter what level your defense are, just move on. Your offense will improve leading to faster wall and defense growth. This of course ends at th9 when you enter the meat of the game. A premie(not gemmed or super rushed) th9 has both cheap and expensive upgrades to do along with their walls.

Care to explain?

I fail to see how someone experience can be wrong since it is an observation of what has occurred.

Actually don’t bother explaining I don’t care and you are just being tool anyway

Agreed it all about personal priorities

I'm in the same spot as you, have been as I have been playing on and off for around 7 months.

I'm fully upgraded at TH8 with the exception of these damned walls. I plan on upgrading to lvl8 walls because they look so damn good and intimidating and then stopping after that

If you ask nicely :)
I upgraded to th9 prematurely and had a trophy base, never got attacked! If he's farming down in gold III it won't be a problem at all. Farming is much better at th9 so why not?
