Now this just defeats the idea of upgrading your walls because the one attacking you can just put down a root rider and a whole set of walls will just dissapate

[@Monitor_Head]

good thing my walls are mostly level 9 even though I'm town hall 13

[@DemiCape]

@@Monitor_Headlevel 9 walls at townhall 13 is just bad, I would atleast try to max everything before I move to the next townhall level, which usually happens because when I maxed every other building and still have troops left in lab, I am usually left with gold, and I always spend them on walls.

[@choper2505]

​@@Monitor_Head lol. Give at least some respect to hitpoints and upgrade some

[@DemiCape]

While walls may seem useless because of the amount of troops that ignore them, it is still useful to upgrade them because there are still troops that is being used that doesn’t ignore them. So I would atleast upgrade them before I move to the next townhall.

[@Monitor_Head]

@@DemiCape I felt guilty

[@Grassannihilator]

*some months later* we introduce you to town hall 17, new upgrades and a new troop called wall disliker (one shots all the walls in a village as soon as deployed with 25 housing space) and more hero levels i guess

This unit could transform even followers from the Barbarian King and the Archer Queen. Or this idea could be used as a Revive spell.

[@tobiaschislom9876]

I’d take that over this new troop all day

[@Platschu]

@@tobiaschislom9876 Thanks. I doubt they read yt comments. I had a few more unit ideas : 1. Witch - could be redesigned that players can choose between skeletons / bats at spawning stage in the village. Or she could be swapped like the Electrowizard in the Builder base during a siege. Maybe this skill could be unlocked as a SuperWitch v2.0 2. One of the Archers tower and the Wizard tower could spawn a SuperArcher and a SuperWizard after being destroyed. Players could select only one building or it could be a random event or maybe luck related. Then players could setup a defense/offense mode that if the town hall is not destroyed then these units would go there to defend it. 3. SuperBowlers are too similar to SuperArchers. It would have been more cool if he grabs the damaged wall sequences to throw them back. 4. We need a unit like a Knight who reflects back the damage with his shield. Maybe his special target could be the xbows. 5. Make a Firefighter unit who is immune to fire. He would go for the Tesla towers. 6. A Gardener could have a little Greenhouse shop where he would sell magical seeds like the pet shop which can be watered by elixir. Like spikey bushes which would spread on walls like one square in every hour. 7. Elixir golems who would go for Elixir containers. They could multiply thenselves when they consumed enough. 8. Battle Angels could arrive as the SuperTroop version of Angels. They could heal air units or/and drop healing spells at death. Some of these could be given on lower town halls to keep them happy. Anyway I am sure they can come up something more creative then a simple wall destroying unit.
