Walls at TH8

Ok, so I just hit TH8 about a week ago. I was a maxed TH7 and all 50 of my new walls are pink. I was wondering if I should raise the 50 new walls to purple(7) or start building the skull walls. I was wondering how soon everyone started to build the skull walls.

lastly, I have five builders, and there are not a lot of elixer buildings to make. So, I was wondering how many defensive turrets to have upgrading at once. I currently have one tesla and three cannons upgradng. But my DE Drill is just about maxed and I am not sure if I should start another cannon.

On the wall question, I would say just do whatever you prefer. The difference in order is minimal to nonexistent.

As for elixir, you will waste quite a bit at TH 8. That's just a fact of frequent playing. Honestly, I would upgrade 2-4 defences at any given time. Sure, your base is always made more vulnerable, but the sooner you get them done, the better off you will be in the lng run.

In term of upgrading wall, I normally choose to upgrade the expensive one first to have more options to spend Gold on. In your case, now you have 2 options of 200K or 500K. But if you make them all purple, you will have only 1 option left (500K).

Let's say when your builder is available with 1M Gold, and you plan to upgrade Cannon to lv9 using 800K Gold. The latter won't give you a chance to spend excess 200K Gold, while the former allow. It's really really minimal impact as a farmer, but it's more or less opportunity loss.

With max TH7, your defense are not that weak when upgrade several defenses at once. I agree with zach. You will also have Elixir overflow for quite sometime before max TH8. I use this to help out my clan mates by donating Dragons while on shield.

With walls you should upgrade your extra 50 to level 7 first and for defenses just upgrade as many as you can lol :o

Im using pingfaos design so im leaving the towers that aren't completely walled off pink walls. Im upgrading the core to skull walls

You should have been all blue at th7, I started skull walls as soon as i went to th8, I got done with walls a month ago and im almost ready for th9..

People think I gem, I dont I just know how to play a game this simple.....

Read it properly, he's talking about the new walls

First about defences I reccomend doing multiple at once to get it over with. I would reccomend purple walls as often attackers and clan members will huge you on your lowest level wall. I know somebody who has level two and level one walls and level 6 walls. Although it is a much bigger scale you can understand from this it is better to keep them pretty equal.
