Q&A: Wall Breaker AI and how it works

[Junliang]

This is a problem that I continually run into and the behavior doesn't make sense given what we've been told about the wallbreaker intelligence. Why do they continue to blow additional holes in the same wall instead of proceeding to the next level of enclosed buildings? Marika can you please answer Tim's question? From what I understand about the wallbreaker intelligence, they should proceed to blow a hole in the walls by the xbow next rather than more holes in the exterior. Why is this not happening?

My answer is as per follow: The building that are STILL at the first layer attracted the wall breaker.
If those buildings are cleared, it wouldn't happen.

Then again, if those buildings at the first layer that wasn't fully enclose is able to attract the wall breaker, then something is wrong.

But personally, i will destroy all the buildings first before moving on, so not an issue to me.

Skip to 1:10 for the actual battle.

*Ignore the 4th wall breaker, mis-judged the distance from that edge to the 3rd layer.*

Junliang how are you going to clear the first level out and then go to the second. Your giants will probably be dead and the mortars/wizards will kill everything else.

What I see is that the new WB try to make you clear out the building before moving on "This is sucks" I want what it is written on a tin something that break walls where I put it and if there is a decoy or a spike than to bad for that missed it.

I often start my fight by distracting the defence and launching 10 to 15 WB that usually work like a charm allowing to break walls deep to still Gold!

Everyone seems to report the same problem with the new WB anyone think that we should start a vote or a polls

Perso put back the old WB and improve Barbarian, archer and Giant to not beat on walls when there is nothing left behind you will have made much more people happy with that update.

An alternative solution will be to have an upgrade in the laboratory for improved WB with obviously the option of demoting them of there upgrade if you don't like it.

That will give you enough stats to workout if someone is using them!

edit: there it is start voting http://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p...b0b3dfeaf577b8

I was looking through the forums to see if I could set up a poll. Supercell we need a poll.

[QUOTE='Marika[Supercell];260927']A Wall Breaker’s ultimate goal in life is to liberate buildings that are trapped (fully or partially) by walls

How does the Wall Breaker choose its target? Steps 1, 2, 3
1. It will look for the nearest building/turret that is trapped (fully or partially) by walls
2. It will choose the shortest path towards that building and blow up walls that are in its way

Q: If behind the wall hides a Tesla, will WB break the wall that traps it, or will it go to next visible building prize?

I like the new wall breaker ai, please work on clan wars and other things to help improve this game. We really need a clan bulletin board to post our clan rules and other important information.

This is not definitive but it seems to be that they won't target the wall unless the tesla has been triggered.

edit: i think it is pretty definitive now:
