This is absolutely true. Most of the people replying have not gone high enough in cups. Maybe you won't either, depends on your play style I guess. But I am sitting currently 3100-3200 cups and 75% of the attacks on me are GOWI- and they are instant. Within minutes of shield breaking.

So, if this is where you plan to go eventually, walls are it. And it's way easier to do them now, then later. Don't wait until you are a th 10 to grind out your Legos, that just sucks. I made that mistake.

Pepper, where's my tux please?
And while you're at it, could you grab me a coffee?

As for the topic, even though it is worth doing them.. After skull walls it's just a drag.

I'm attacking in CW using lavaloonions mainly. I love seeing those max TH9 with all lava walls I can easily 3-star, while it would probably have been a lot more difficult if they had moved on and had 2 infernos in my way ;-)

(BBDoc's post on 1st page) with the barracks boost I went on a loon farming spree, dropped 2 heal spells on a max TH9 and loons and mins flew over those lv10 walls, crushed em, the problem with defense is like this, let me run you through a scenario, if you have full lv11 walls at TH10 and lets say you are up in champs, 3200 border line, and you go on defense, a TH10 with gowipe finds you, (realistically he will still 2 star you with the maxed troops) but let's say he and a few others are intimidated by your walls, they skip, chances are someone will find you with a jump spell, or an air raider, an to them you may as well just have lv1 walls, and they will wreck you the same way they wreck other maxed bases, I really think defenses are more important than walls, because you can work around strong walls, hogs, loons, drags, hounds now make 3 star possible, but you can't work around strong defenses, so if you are a TH9 with full lava walls eg. you are still a trillion times weaker and more exploitable than a TH10 with lv8 walls, because TH10s have stronger defenses and more defenses, similarly if you make your base strong in 1 aspect, like anti hog bases (good example) people obviously won't attack your base disadvantageous to them, so if you have an anti hog base, you won't win defenses against hogs, you just won't be attacked by them, instead you'll be attacked by gowipe and gowiwi and get wrecked like that, basically if your walls are strong, people will typically use strategies where strong walls don't help you much, that's mostly war and low trophy ranges though, above 3400 I think it will help a lot because people won't be picky about what they attack, but if you are that high up chances are you are gonna get smashed any way because offense is stronger than defense

TH1-7, doesn't really matter. You can still farm your walls up to 8 at TH8.

Which yes, I would say is necessary.

Those saying they laugh at TH9's with their lego walls...

When they go to TH10, I highly doubt you'll be 3 starring them with your lavaloonian attack, also I highly doubt you will be 3 starring them with Gowiwi Gowipe etc etc, as their walls are pretty darn good, probably even better by this point.

Laugh at the TH9 with lego walls, get all that laughter out, because when TH10 comes along, they'll be the ones laughing.

the TH9 with legos and higher aren't strong because they had good walls before moving to TH10, they become stronger at TH10 because TH10 defenses are way stronger, walls help, but the defense additions and upgrade make 90% of the change, and the exact same things you said apply to people with lv7 & lv8 walls, my TH8 account has full skull and my TH9 has some 70% pink crystal 30% dark crystal but the TH9 defense is still WAAAAAY stronger than my TH8, I personally love walls and would tell anyone to max walls at all town halls but I'd be lying if I told someone that maxing walls at every TH will help their defense, I am just getting the truth out, honestly though clash is 99% attack so idc if I lose defense, everyone loses defense any ways unless they have a trap base or you're a TH10 (Th10 bases are bigger so there are more mistakes that could be made while raiding them and lots more traps to fool attackers) below TH10 there aren't any bases hard to beat really, I've seen a few amazing TH9 layouts, but coincidentally they work with funneling so wall levels hardly matter

IMO its worth it, especially on lower levels.

For sure it's worth it at TH8. Skulls aren't too hard (do em in a couple weeks) but they are a right pain to do when you're a TH9. I made that mistake and regret it. Even though i'm not a wall fan. All skulls is a minimum as they're not a huge bore like higher level walls. Even though they're now easier

Very nice analysis there. Agree sith you 100%. TH 10 with IT full skulls is more intimidating than a th 9 with full legos. Of course having maxed walls has lots of benefits but, its just a drag to farm. Really. So i think as long as my defense is maxed, walls are at a decent level, you are safe to upgrade th. Full lavas are useless with level 2 defense.. But maxed defense and lev 2 walls will work better at defending your base.

Same here. At the moment, I'm doing fine at TH10 with all my defence buildings maxxed and just started bringing the 2nd half of my walls up to legos.

Actually, I went to TH10 waay back when my walls were all purple. They're just there to slow down melee. What I did back then was a lot of funneling with gaps so they won't need to be so strong while I upgraded the towers, etc.
