Looking for the opinion of a few higher level players...

Hey all. I am just looking for a little advice or your opinions on what my main focus should be when it comes to the upgrades I am now facing at this point of time.

We just recently finished a trophy push. I was hitting the defense and troop upgrades hard before it, and as I always do, upgraded walls during the push. As I stand currently, I have 5 of the 6 cannons left to max; 3 of the 7 arch towers yet to get to level 12; 81 "skull" walls"; 168 "legos"; and 1 lava wall. As far as my traps and bombs, well I am leaving those out of the mix for now...unless someone thinks otherwise. Everything else is maxed.

A large part of the reason I am asking, is I had some fantastic defensive wins this past push. But I noticed several losses that would have swung my way had just one layer of my walls been at lavas.

Would it be worth sacrificing the further upgrades on my cannons and arch towers, so I can get to 30-40 lava walls just so I have that one solid layer of them? And am i foolish leaving my traps and bomb non-maxed?

Anyone who has crossed this bridge before, or anyone else who is more advanced than I, who has advice or an opinion i would love to hear it. And I would hope this thread would also help some other clashers.

Thanks ya'll.

I would finish the skulls to lego walls. It would be cheaper and you could still finish your upgrades.

That was my plan "A", but the push layout I use is a teaser with 4 wall layers to get to TH on one side, so having some skull walls in the mix is still okay. I am still leaning that direction, but thanks for the feedback. Any and all feedback will help me figure out what I am gonna do.

Im not as advanced as you are, but I would always preach "walls first" Walls do much more than any defense imo. t those lavas, and then laugh at failed raids.

Oh boy... "looking for the opinion".. of anything is never going to produce the results you'd think it does.

Have you thought about if you were to have a core of lavas, would those attackers have attacked you? If you had a core of lavas, would you be hit harder or less often? There are a lot of things that play into this. I would say that you are foolish for not upgrading your bombs and I would also recommended you bang out that core of lavas.

Quite the opposite W1Z, these sort of comment s are exactly what I was hoping for. All of the replys thus far have all made great points. Great recommendation by you. Thanks!

Bombs and mines play a huge role in defense when you get higher up and gowipe/wiwi's come into play. Besides that I'd say that the lava core idea is a great idea, really helps with intimidation.

I appreciate that insight Ziggy. I am leaning that way. All bombs and giant bombs have just one level to go. The air mines and seaking air mines are all only level 1 or 2, and i think they need to get maxed due to increased air raids with lava mutt intro. You are all absolutely dead on about having that one layer of lavas.

I still think you should finish the skulls into all lego walls. Lego and lava both take 3 WB (Lvl 5) to break through. Yeah, a lava core might be nice, but there is something to be said for a base with at least max legos. The ROI is much greater in my opinion.

I see where your mind is at there, but you don't really see level 5 wb's once you're in upper Master 1 and lower Champion level, it's all maxed level 6 wb's. To a level 6 wb, level 8 skulls and level 9 legos are the same wall, it takes two. The level 10 lava takes three wb's. I wish it was only level 5 wb's i was seeing!

I think its def worth farming all walls. Im currently at 195 lavas, barching is still great! If you're willing to settle for 150-200k each. Hero's are both 20, once I'm th 10 my focus will be DE. Hope this helps!

At what level are you barching right now Drani?

And, great job on the lavas!

I decided to finish the air mines and bombs first. Wow is it frustrating. They are expensive and you don't feel like you've accomplished any thing. And I've decided to do lava walls until I get the desired number to make one solid inner ring of them for my push layout. For every five walls i do, I will do a cannon, so I can finish those. I have just one more DE drill to max then I can finally use Elixer to upgrade them walls too! That'll help for sure.

Appreciate all of your insight. It helped me decide.
