Walls upgrade costs and times
Data current as of Updated
Walls absorb more resources than any other category over the life of an account, and they work differently from everything else on this site. A wall upgrade is instant: it costs resources but never ties up a builder. That is why the totals on this page are resource totals only, and why walls belong in your plan as the place to spend surplus, not as a project to schedule.
The table lists the cost and Town Hall requirement of every wall level, and the section above it shows the wall level cap and the number of wall pieces at each Town Hall. Multiply a level's cost by the wall count and you see why maxing walls is the last thing most accounts finish, if they finish it at all. The catalogue lists wall prices in gold; in the game, higher wall levels can also be paid with elixir, which makes walls the obvious sink when your elixir storage is full and the Laboratory is busy.
Use the Town Hall filter to see the wall cap and full-set cost at your level, and the “from the previous cap” figure to see what a fresh Town Hall actually asks of you if your walls were maxed before you upgraded.
What to upgrade first
- Spend on walls when builders are busy and storages are near full. Loot that sits capped is loot you lose to raids.
- Core first. Upgrade the compartments around your Town Hall, storages and key splash defenses before the perimeter. Inward-facing walls force an attacker to spend a Jump Spell or siege machine; perimeter walls delay them for seconds.
- Never let walls block a Town Hall upgrade decision. They do not gate your next Town Hall, so finishing them is optional; leaving them to become a months-long backlog is the common mistake.
