Glass walls

**Glass Walls** are a type of Structure that is common enough that they deserve their own separate category. They are one of the most **common defense strategies**, and have been widely used throughout most seasons.

They typically consist of 1x2x2 Walls of Glass blocks. The main difference between each one is their coloring. **Differently colored Glass Walls can have different effects**, and can increase their defense boost when built in different conditions. Below is a list of every Glass Wall, and their most effective environment.

(**Note:** Just because a Glass Wall is more effective in some Warps over others, does **NOT** mean that it is impossible to use these walls outside of those conditions. You still can, but it will not perform as good as its best potential)

## List of Glass Walls

### Standard Glass

By far one of the most common Glass Walls and the easiest to obtain. Its used very frequently by the Lower Ranks, and is a very reliable defensive move when you're just starting out, as it does not require any setup for it to be effective. (It can be played diagonally as well as in a line, unlike other glass walls)

### Pink, Black, and Purple Glass

These types of glass are most effective during *Nighttime*, or in Warps such as the *Sky Warp* or *End Warp*. They're great for both Low and High ranking players for many reasons. Lower Ranks can very easily activate Nighttime by setting up the Pumpkin Wall, one of the most common structures.

On the other hand, Higher Ranks can utilize the walls in either Sky or End Warps, both of which are only accessible once you reach a respectable Elo.

### Lime and Green Glass

These glass walls do very well on *Saturdays*, or in the *Jungle Warp*. They're typically forgotten about by most players, as not many people have even heard of the Jungle Warp.

There's also the fact that it is the only glass that is both semi-dependent on playing on certain days of the week, and has only one Warp. Both of these factors aren't very useful as one of the main features behind Glass Walls is that they're very reliable.

### Yellow, Red, and Orange Glass

The most commonly used by the Higher Ranks, these glass can do very good in most warps such as the *Fire, Desert,* and *Nether Warp*. Due to their commonality among highly used Warps, they're exceptionally decent strategies in the late game, which explains their heavy usage by more experienced players.

The only downside is that they cost a lot of Points to obtain, making them require a ton of straight grinding to get, but once you're able to get them, they are an irreplaceable part of your Deck.

### Cyan, Blue, and Light Blue Glass

Another lesser known Glass Wall, these perform pretty decently in *Ice* and *Ocean Warps*, or if it's *Snowing* or *Raining*. They can combo nicely with the Ice Warp, as they can use the 10% Stun Chance to quickly setup this wall for rapid development early in the match.

And if you create a Storm, intending to setup the Lightning Rod Trap, you can use this glass to protect yourself from the opponent if they have their own Lightning Rods, and use their turn after you setup the storm to attack.

### Brown Glass

Not much is known about this Glass Wall. It was introduced very recently in Season 3, and was used in the End Season Leagues Tournament, particularly in the 3rd round of the Finals. Since there is an insufficient amount of data on this glass, there can't be an accurate way to determine its strategic use, other than the fact that it was used in the Finals, which is extremely high stakes.

## Trivia

* There is a variant of the Normal Glass Wall that was released in Season 1, which is known as the Diagonal Glass Wall. It consists of a Diagonal 1x1x2 wall of glass, and is used to counter the Minecart Method. Other than that, it is extremely rare to see it being used in Season 4, as barely anyone knows about it.
