Is it REALLY worth it or is it ABSOLUTELY necassary to max walls b4 upgrading your th

[lolnopound]

Walls are the ONLY thing you have to max before going to the next TH.

[antimatter]

Same here. At the moment, I'm doing fine at TH10 with all my defence buildings maxxed and just started bringing the 2nd half of my walls up to legos.

Actually, I went to TH10 waay back when my walls were all purple. They're just there to slow down melee. What I did back then was a lot of funneling with gaps so they won't need to be so strong while I upgraded the towers, etc.

Awesome. Looks like purple wallls aint to bad for th 10

Its worth it ... totaly worth it.

Your walls will save you frm getting 3 starred.

walls are soo anti giant,king,AQ and golem, i don't see why it wouldn't be the best thing ever.

But in later townhall levels there will be more air attacks. Sure your walls are good, but somone later will attack you with air troops, where walls are absolutely useless , as somone explained earlier.

Walls are just a place to dump excess resources. The fact that they have no build time means you should always be working on walls with one of your resources in TH9. Before that, I think it is now less important to level your walls, as you can't effectively dump your elixer in lower levels.

Plus, early TH9 has crazy high elixer requirements, so you won't even be able to dump elixer effectively until much later in the town hall.

So, with that in mind, my opinions:

I got full pink in TH7 because resources were flowing everywhere, and I did the pink walls early in the TH, while I was upgrading everything I could with elixer. While I saved up elixer, I used walls as a place to essentially hide whatever gold I acquired. This was before the elixer->wall update.

In TH8, before the elixer->wall update, I got full purples. Again, I had a lot of gold, and I did them early, while I was saving for high elixer upgrades. I found that if I had 2 million of both resources, I got raided by TH9 Giant+Healer+Heroes+Spells super often, and it was frustrating. However, if I only had 2m+ elixer, and virtually zero gold, I got hit by big attacks much less frequently. By the time I finished up with purple walls, the elixer->wall change happened, and I had just started my upgrade to TH9 (max defense TH8 except Teslas, BK at level 5, lab complete except for DE Troops and Pekka (not upgrading my pekkas at TH8 is about my only regret)).

I did the same thing again - used skull walls simply as a place to hide my gold while I saved up the 6 million elixer needed for each troop upgrade. Any gold in excess of that went to the new defenses and new walls and such. Now, I'm in mid-ish TH9 (both heroes ~10, max Xbows, about 9million elixer in buildings left to do). I'm currently working on teslas, so it's giving me a good amount of time to work on walls at the same time. I upgrade 2 teslas and 2 heroes at a time, leaving my 5th builder to resource dump into walls. Again, same thing as TH8. If I show 200k+ elixer/gold + 1500+ DE, I get smashed by TH10s pretty frequently. If I show virtually zero elixer, I get raided much less frequently.

I wouldn't spend idle builder days maxing walls at any given TH. Just use them to hide and dump your resources, and they will naturally get maxed eventually. You have a lot of lab time in TH8, and a lot of builder days in TH9, that allows plenty of time to catch up with walls.

For me, I'm shooting for either level 15 heroes or level 20 heroes before I hit TH10, as I will have a lot of demands on my builder's time, so I plan on taking a break from upgrading heroes for a little while, and I'll use them to raid while I get my barch up to level 7. Once my barch is level 7, I can start back up on upgrading my heroes.

Thanks for sharing . But i have to disagree that just dumping extra resources in walls , and they will get maxed naturally. 1 mil per piece and 3 mil per piece? 500k per piece?

Short answer imo. No.

Walls were only ever a gold dump for me. I never once waiting to TH up because my walls were not maxed. I think anything after skull walls are just personal preference, especially if you never plan on playing in champs or high lv wars anyways (in which case walls may be useless with lavaloon and hog hybrids anyways).

The only reason I have any lavas is because my base is fully maxed otherwise and just need somewhere to put the 3 million when I get it, I'm definitely not grinding them out though as I rarely get attacked as it is.

You say you have any lavas. So im assuming you have full legos. So you dump 1 mil gold on walls, and you eventually got full legos? You never went out of your way to grind them?

definitely max them at town hall 8, after that be creative

Yes im planning to max them now.

It depends on your point of view. I never maxed my walls at lower levels, I wish i did, because now I'm a TH8 with half 6 half lv7 walls. Some clans don't accept rushers, so that's another thing to think about.

I dont think a th 9 with purple walls would be considered a rusher. But a th 7 with level 2 walls that would be a rusher.

It depends on how long you're actually going to spend working on those walls with sleeping builders as to whether or not it's "worth it" in terms of overall efficiency in the long run.

Have to agree with you. But i dont think grinding legos or lavas for months is considered efficient, where your defenses are maxed, you can upgrade your th, and progress even more.

disagree. i went to th10 with mostly purple and a few skulls; it has never affected me in any way.

if you're done with defenses and your walls require 2 max level wbs to destroy, start your upgrade. if sc releases a patch with lvl7 wbs, start focusing on all skull walls

i do wars constantly and my clan has over 110 wins. while my base has been two-starred (rarely), it's never been three-starred. ever.

i did upgrade my core to legos (and, when elixir could be used for skulls, did quite a few), but i still have around 100 purple walls and i'm upgrading them for aesthetic reasons, not defensive ones. the simple fact is if you have a good layout, you'll force people into using jump spells. walls could definitely make a difference -- they could get 75% of your base instead of 55%, but i don't see walls as game-breaking.

i see TONS of bases with all legos or lavas/legos that are easily two-starred (or even three starred) due to having a bad layout. if you're going to spend your time on something, upgrade your defenses and find a layout/clan castle troop composition that works.

then, if you have time and resources to spare, upgrade your walls.

my 2 cents.

awesome. Again, as long as your defensive structures are maxed, dont think walls are too important.

There is one inherent problem with walls. They are a defensive structure, and as such, are factored into the strength of your base. Since match ups in clan wars is determined by strength of your troops and defensive structures, this can be used against you in your match up. For example, my clan of 15 has the following composition:

Town hall level 10 - 1
Town hall level 9 - 8
Town hall level 8 - 4
Town Hall level 7 - 2

Our current opponent has five th10, five th9, and five th8.

When you look at troops and the th10 having inferno towers, this is a serious mismatch! The biggest difference is we have spent the time at level 8 and 9 upgrading walls. Multiple members have black skull walls. The other clan is at pink crystal, with some purple crystal.

It is ridiculous that walls are a part of the equation in determining match ups. A level 5 wall breaker on rage can break through a black skull wall. I wish now I had left mine at purple crystal.

Lol this happened in my old clan. There were a lot of maxed th 8 ( even walls) and we had 1 fresh th 9. We were matched against 4 th 9..

My strategy is to max everything until you have maxed out everything for one resource. So, upgrade walls untill you finish all of your elixir upgrades, then move up so you don't waste elixir while upgrading your walls.

meh. I prefer to max all gold and wall upgrades, besides walls.

Walls are the ONLY thing you have to max before going to the next TH.

Is this a troll comment? If its not, no offense but level 1 defense structures with max zaps th 10 is USELESS.

This explains a lot of my recent horrific clan war draws with me and my other TH8 buddies at full black skull walls.



We ended up just going to TH9 and ending the "drawing advantage" because it quickly became nonexistant - we were matching regularly with more well-developed th9s with purple walls. Surprisingly, some of us managed to hold them to 1 or 2 stars.

No more warring for my team until we are at this same point in TH9, sans the wall upgrades.

We had warred rather successfully countlessly with maxed defenses, but more than half of us have been pushing walls, so there's that....

That's why you upgrade your defensive structures too.

[Tomaster1275]

All my walls are lev 7 atm, and a couple of skulls. They become 500k pere piece now, which is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS .

The game would be boring without them. You would finish everything(except maybe heroes) within 2 months.
and supercell has to get their money from somewhere.... Right?

lol i agree with you. But the game would also be boring if you had to max all walls that cost 3 MIL PER PIECE FOR MONTHS

[SpiritKiller]

AHA! The answer i was looking for . can anyone prove this wrong? i completely agree

With 40 replies saying you should upgrade and one you shouldn't upgrade your walls.

You're finding the one that says you shouldn't upgrade your walls.
You already made up your mind.


Trust me. upgrade them. It'll scare away attackers.

[Warasin]

Don't upgrade them past level 7. Cause at level 7 they still need 2 maxed wall breakers to blast them.

already made up my mind. keeping them at skulls. from there ill just dump gold on walls, which will rarely happen since legos are like 1 mil.

Don't upgrade them past level 7. Cause at level 7 they still need 2 maxed wall breakers to blast them.

Unless you rage them.

Psssssssst.....it only gets worse....

I've been farming lava walls for close to a year now (in between farming for other stuff like archer towers)....and still have 108 left. 3 mill a piece....
