    The wall is what keeps you from getting 3 starred by high end army.

    I would say because when other buildings are upgrading it gets a little boring so walls i guess give you another reason to farm. Also walls make your base look way better and show that you're active

    I agree with you

    Timing your upgrade is very important. If you focus totally on Defense, you will have two, three week, even months at the end to upgrade wall. You wasted your builder time. I keep all of my builders (5) busy all the time. I upgrade wall in between upgrade. For exp, I max out gold, when I have a builder available, I dump all gold into wall except for 2.5m that I need to upgrade my archer Tower.

    Builder times is... everything to me. I'm willing to sacrificed few hundreds thousands of resources in defense so I don't have to keep 1 builder around.

    Good job.

    I state this quite often, "the common rules don't apply for a hardcore farmer." Hardcore farmers are able to farm at such a rate that they will always have enough resource for basically any upgrade. The only thing stopping hardcore farmers is time. So dumping resources into walls is what they do in the meantime. A 6 hour non-stop session of farming per day is normal for a hardcore farmer. A good farmer also knows how to manage his or her time to always have a builder in time to dump resources in walls, without having a builder idle at any given moment. Even if you were to take over 500k resource, you've only taken but a small fraction of the farmer's total loot and worth. 500k is worth a lot in the eyes of the average player, but for a hardcore farmer, it's not much compared to getting a shield.

    By the way, at the rate I was farming I would've maxed out lava walls (TH 9) before maxing out my defenses. But I've instead begun focusing more on farming DE with the goal of maxing out both my heroes in the least amount of time.

    Yea, that's how I see it too. Time > Loot. Never have an idle builder.

    Players like myself who finished walls before defense at x level TH will be able to englighten you.

    Walls for me were maxed at th9 before all defenses were done. L8/9 AT & L9/10 cannons remained.

    Maxing defense in the timeframe I maxed walls simply wasn't possible. My whole time as a th9 I left 1 worker free whilst the rest were busy on defense & heroes. I'd cycle my builders by starting the idle builder on another project 12-48h before my next one was free. None of my collectors were maxed & rax were also low level.

    Referring to farmers who prioritise walls over everything is another matter; plain idiotic imo. Eg. upgrading collectors / traps only or proceeding to leave mutilple builders free.

    The better your defence is, the more effective high level walls are.

    Go defenseless!

    Why bother with defenses for that matter? Our defenesless clan just got 150 stars in our most recent war. The opposing clan could not defeat our clan castle troops backing up the single lvl 1 cannon. Meanwhile we romped all over their pathetic bases.

    You have wasted so much time and effort for those useless towers! The enemy will be perfectly matched with the exact same defenses so it is completely wasted effort to upgrade anything. It is like Luke Skywalker facing himself in Empire Strikes Back. I brought nothing into the cave and can effortlessly crush everyone I face.
