Maxing Walls or Defenses First?

[yossithegreat]

I like to max my offense first, then defenses but leaving 1 builder open when I know I am going to be playing a lot and getting gold to make walls.

if you have 5 builders just leave one free and do walls with it while the others are upgrading def.

Through TH 6 Id say you can put a premium on the Walls first. (lvl 6 walls)

TH 7. if you have not rushed here, then you can do them while the other things upgrade, but can still apply the 'do them first' method and still be ok IMO.

TH 8 was the first time I ever had idle builders (irl > game time) and that is the first time I thought walls were EXPENSIVE! so I understand where the feeling of leaving a free builder policy can be applied. but normally I farm for the next upgrade, and add additional fee for walls, then spend it on wall segments and upgrade the building. its a good system. pick one building's walls to upgrade at a time, I usually start with my storages (or enough to fit my TH) Or, have a set number of walls to do per week/day. 3-5 per day will get you a good chunk of them done in a reasonable time line.

If you have rushed a TH, or are doing the new 25 for your recent TH upgrade, I do them to lvl 6 asap, then I work them into 7. (200K still aint that bad) after I will finish them to the skull schedule.

Throw excess gold into walls leaving u eith little or none. Then not many ppl raid u xD
So yea i do them both simultaneously based on funds

I just read all the answers and this one looks to be the most correct, and uses the least amount of words too

Normally, they are upgraded simultaneously, because a decent player gets more gold, than builders can use. And since the walls are the effective way of dumping gold - they get upgraded too.

It's that simple. Upgrade defenses, raid some extra gold so you can have some to dump into walls each time a builder is free. Both get upgraded at the same time, with defenses being the higher upgrade priority.

this is the startegy what i applied when i was in th7.............

first completed the gold walls then started maxing defence with gold and lab with elixer......

as the defence completed max.....started upgrading the walls to pink with gold and dumped excess elixer in upgrading barracks....tthis way the ratio of gold and elixer remained same through out..........

after completing pink walls...used gold in purple walls and elixer in upgrading collectors......

in between raided de to complete bk lvl 5........minion and hoggy........

end of the day..got maxed th7 on all frontier on same time.....

Max defense first, no question.

Undoubtedly defenses, but what I usually do is have one extra builder open to work walls while defenses are upgrading
