Updated for Town Hall 18 (October 2026).
Walls are the 1×1 blocks you use to fence in your Home Village. They unlock at Town Hall 2, you can place up to 325 of them from Town Hall 14, and the top level is 19 at Town Hall 18. Every one of your 325 pieces can be taken to level 19 since the June 2026 update. Walls do nothing but block ground troops, and they don’t count toward an attacker’s destruction percentage.
What Walls do
A ground troop that wants a building behind a Wall has to break through first, and that delay is time your defenses spend shooting it. Gaps ruin this: ground troops path straight through any opening, and buildings, decorations or obstacles placed in a gap don’t plug it. Only a continuous line of Wall segments stops them. (Troops can also slip between two Walls that only touch at a diagonal.)
Plenty of attackers ignore Walls altogether:
- Air troops fly over them.
- Some ground units walk or jump over them: Hog Riders, Miners, Headhunters, Yetimites, Root Riders, Druids in human form, Meteormites, the Grand Warden, the Royal Champion, and every ground pet except the Mighty Yak.
- A Jump Spell lets ground troops cross Walls inside its area for a while.
Others are built to break them. Wall Breakers and Super Wall Breakers run straight at Walls and blow up for 40 times their normal damage, with enough splash to crack two stacked layers. Root Riders smash Walls as they pass through. The Super Giant, Mighty Yak, Wall Wrecker, Stone Slammer and Log Launcher all deal bonus damage to Walls without specifically hunting them. Four Earthquake Spells of any level always destroy any Wall in their overlap; three never will, because each extra quake does more to Walls than the last.

Wall levels, hitpoints and costs
Wall upgrades finish instantly. Levels 2 to 4 cost Gold only; from level 5 you can pay the same amount in Gold or Elixir. A Wall Ring from the magic items list can stand in for the resources: the last column shows how many rings one piece needs.
| Level | TH | Hitpoints | Cost per piece (Gold or Elixir) | Total Gold from level 1 | Wall Rings |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 | 100 | Free to place | 0 | N/A |
| 2 | 2 | 200 | 1,000 (Gold only) | 1,000 | 1 |
| 3 | 3 | 400 | 5,000 (Gold only) | 6,000 | 1 |
| 4 | 4 | 800 | 10,000 (Gold only) | 16,000 | 1 |
| 5 | 5 | 1,200 | 20,000 | 36,000 | 1 |
| 6 | 6 | 1,800 | 30,000 | 66,000 | 1 |
| 7 | 7 | 2,400 | 50,000 | 116,000 | 1 |

| 9 | 9 | 3,500 | 100,000 | 291,000 | 1 |
| 10 | 9 | 4,000 | 200,000 | 491,000 | 1 |
| 11 | 10 | 5,000 | 500,000 | 991,000 | 1 |
| 12 | 11 | 7,000 | 1,000,000 | 1,991,000 | 1 |

| 14 | 13 | 9,000 | 2,000,000 | 5,491,000 | 2 |
| 15 | 14 | 10,000 | 3,000,000 | 8,491,000 | 3 |
| 16 | 15 | 11,000 | 4,000,000 | 12,491,000 | 4 |
| 17 | 16 | 12,000 | 5,000,000 | 17,491,000 | 5 |
| 18 | 17 | 13,000 | 7,000,000 | 24,491,000 | 7 |

A level 19 Wall’s 14,000 hitpoints is the most of any single structure in the Home Village. Maxing all 325 pieces from level 1 is a lot of loot: at the cumulative cost above, it adds up to more than 11 billion Gold or Elixir combined.
Laying out Walls on defense
- Build compartments, not one big ring. Several smaller cells force ground troops to break through again and again while your defenses keep firing.
- Leave a gap between layers. A Wall Breaker’s splash can open two Walls that sit right next to each other, so stacked double walls don’t buy as much as they look.
- Wall in what matters: the Town Hall, defenses and (if you want) storages. Army Camps, the Barracks, the Laboratory and Builder’s Huts are fine outside, where they slow down troops on the way in.
- Keep ranged attackers busy. Archers and Wizards shoot over Walls, so put low-value buildings between them and your core, inside range of your own long-range defenses.
- Watch the deploy zone. Every building blocks troop deployment one tile around itself, but traps, decorations, obstacles and Hidden Teslas don’t. A gap wider than two tiles inside your base can become a spot where attackers drop troops behind your Walls. Filling such a gap with Walls closes it.
- Use gaps on purpose. A deliberate opening funnels troops into splash damage, and a Bomb or Spring Trap in the gap catches them as they pass.
- Map edges don’t count as walls. Attackers can always deploy on the dark grass around your village.
Single Wall “spikes” no longer fool Wall Breakers. They only go for Walls of two or more connected pieces that enclose a building, and ignore empty compartments while other targets remain.
Getting through Walls on attack
Look for lower-level segments and badly placed buildings first, but treat obvious gaps with suspicion: they often hold traps or a Hidden Tesla. Send Wall Breakers at sections defenses can’t reach. When one section opens, the next Wall Breakers head for the nearest Wall that still encloses a building, which may not be the one you wanted. Near the edge of the deploy zone, a few extra Wall Breakers can widen a gap.
If your army is built around Hog Riders, Miners or heroes like the Grand Warden and Royal Champion, Walls barely matter. Earthquake Spells are the spell answer when a compartment really has to open, but a Jump Spell is cheaper for crossing a single wall line.
