Why do so many people have lv 7 walls?

[pololo]

they are simply the best ratio quality/price

I know what you guys told me about surviving a wallbreaker, but lv7 walls are still easy to break through with lv6 giants.

I always use Lev 6 Giants, and i only start thinking that walls could ba an issue at level 9 or 10.

I never said it is good to stop at Level 7 wall, but it explains why many players stop there.

Once you've done everything doable with elixir, you just do walls with it and keep Gold for buildings. I currently have approx half LV7 hlf LV8 walls, but have no more use for elixir, so i do some skulls every day.

I still have a bunch of purple walls on my less active account. Why? Because it is my less active account.....wifi only on my iPad. I only play on nights and weekends and then not a lot.

I have been able to get max defenses and do my lab, but there is no reason to delay my progress just to do walls. Lazy builders are not worth it.

Now, after I max my th10 defenses and finish my lab pink upgrades, I will have more than enough time and loot to dump everything into walls. No rush.

It is sort of the same calculus I did when I didn't complete my legos at th9. At a certain point, you get enough done and move on. 50% legos was fine.

I laugh to myself about those folks who stayed months and months at th8 to max walls and troops (with lazy builders), during which time they could have completed th9 defenses and most th9 lab upgrades and upgraded their queen substantially. It just makes no sense.

So would you laugh at someone like me who is staying months and months at th9 looking to get all Legos and maxed out heros?

I just wonder. It didn't take much time at all to get those 250 slices upgraded to lv8, maybe 2-4 weeks and I'm a little bit more than a casual player (I dont boost barracks...).

PFFT. I'm guessing you farmed those walls post update where you could use elixer. LOL Big deal. Without boosting barracks you're still putting in wayyy more time than a casual player would.

Here is my reason for most of mine being at 7. I did not max my walls before going to 10, at the time I made the move to 10 it was pre clan wars, hogs were the dominant force so walls were useless, multi infernos were a way to stop the hogs.

Now I'm at 10 and even though hogs have been nerfed and CW has made the walls more important the jump spell and wall breakers still mean that getting to the core isn't too difficult. I've now decided that I'm going to put off upgrading barbs archers gobs and lightning and dump excess elixer into walls. I normally upgrade a few a day to 8. My gold is still going into upgrading defenses for a few more months till I max those. It would be nice to have upgraded them further at 9 but the lure of infernos to stop the hogs was too much.

I have a 2nd account which just went to lvl 8 and had maxed walls at 7. I plan to max walls with that acct before moving up.

What is your problem? I never said it's hard to get lv8 walls post update. I asked why nobody has them because its doable in 2-4 weeks.

Now go please.

It's because people don't understand what walls are really for. Leveling up walls is not about keeping wall breakers from busting them, it's about adding HP to the defenses behind them. Maxed defenses don't work well when the army walks through your walls and kills them. Of course, a ring of lavas on the outside of a base with huge compartments isn't worth squat, you still need a legit base design.

Simply put, walls are the best investment to stop a ground assault. They are a huge deterrent to the ground farmer, turn high level GoWipe attacks from 3 to two stars, and they just get cooler and cooler looking! I thought grape walls were nice, but those lavas....

It takes two level 6 wallbreakers to break level 7, 8 or 9 walls.

And dragons care nothing about walls, balloons and minions care nothinga bout walls, hogs care nothing about walls, and the eleventy billion hours of farming needed to upgrade past what wallbreakers can easily blast through is an illogical use of time for 99.9% of people.

My question is, why does anybody bother moving past level 7 walls?
