Why is there such an obsession with wall upgrade?

I only have 3 builders so early in my th I use 1 on elixir buildings, 1 on collectors?traps, and 1 on defenses. since only 1 builder is using gold I spend a lot on walls and usually have my walls about half done by the time my elixir buildings and collectors/traps are done. then all 3 start going to defenses and walls use to slow way down but now with the elixir being available to upgrade walls its getting dumped into them keeping a steady pace, since the elixir builds are done and only need to save for research.

I don't think I've ever seen a th8 with full skulls or a th7 with full purple that didn't already have maxed defense

A guy in my old clan had all lvl 8s and was still working on his archer towers and teslas. Not sure why he did it like that. I personally was a maxed th8 and had 75 lvl 8 walls when I went to th9.

Only a few troops ignore walls and none of them except minons are farming troops. Walls to matter just not as much as defenses . active raiders do both st the same time. I keep my 5th builder for walls since its more efficient at th9 since waiting till the end for walls would be rough and keeping all 5 building would mean I'd be such a big target all the time I'd lose a lot of resources to defenses which makes you way less efficient in the long run.

Is it? It's funny how he refers them as high level, they are not. And last time I checked, there's like 3 levels above skulls.

As for why? Cmon, you guys know. Elixir walls, it made it easy for TH7 and TH8s to do them walls. that's why.

A lot of people do walls with excess. I am far from maxing out my TH9 and am almost full legos just because I dump excess gold (and now elixir) into walls. I also keep a builder free since my defenses will be done long before lab upgrades.

I have the same experience. Post at least one full skull TH 8 without maxed defenses.

Lots of times bases look bad with lower level walls so that could be a reason. But for me I like to do walls first because I like to get the most painful part of upgrading over first.
