To upgrade core walls or outside walls first?

For farming: outside walls first. Keep them away from your loot!

For War: Core then junctions. Keep them away from your th and once they are there keep them locked in.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of both. I would like to know your thoughts.

I always do outside walls first because it provides extra time for defenses to weaken troops before they get in and start weakening your defense. Matter of preference.

I always do core to protect my DE and my xbows..... but I mainly do it because I'm very OCD about these things and it makes me feel more organized. lol

I think you should max out your storages and upgrade rows of walls at the same time, thus doing the inner and outer walls at the same time.

Core since your outside walls are going to be broken anyways, and generally wallbreakers and other troops will have a harder time cracking the core than the outside walls.

Seconded.. :thumbsup:

Core, however looks sweeter...

The advantages of core walls first:

Main resources well-protected
Easier to upgrade core walls than crust walls (because there are less core walls)


The advantages of crust walls first:

Harder to break in
Defenses will survive longer if attacker is using melee troops such as giants, barbs, or pekkas


I'd overall say upgrading crust walls first is the better choice, even though there are more of them. It may be annoying after a while, but do them first. It's better in the long run.

i would disagree with your "crust walls" analysis. Crust walls are the easiest to destroy with wall breakers. The only exception would be if the attack never used wall breakers, jump spells or earthquake spells and relied totally on melee attacks (which I guess might happen in very low levels of play, but from about th8 and on, someone is bringing tools to deal with outer walls.

thank you all for your replies. looks like there is no definitive answer to this one. I will start doing it from core and proceed to the outer walls.

Not really. When I was at TH9, I found out that it's already hard for them to get into my core to get my DE. And the second layer of wall, which protects some of my golds and elixir is needed to upgrade first. Then my core, then the outer layer.

The most outer layer is not needed most of the time.
