If I understand it correctly, your Phlegm needs to exceed the wall's soak value to deal damage to it. Since a stone hedge has soak value 15, you would theoretically need 16 phlegm to have a chance at breaking one. However, once your phlegm drops below 15 you stop doing damage completely, so unless you want to refuel every two hits, you should have more than that.

40 phlegm seems like a decent amount if you're destroying unclaimed/friendly walls. Still takes some regen breaks, but it's doable. When you're hitting a claim, you'll want more than that so you don't have to wait for the crime debuff to expire.

Do you mean yours, or do you want to destroy someone's else his wall ?

If its yours you need 20+ to do any damage ''its going to be really hard with 20, cuz you need to refill all the time''.

If you want to destroy someone else his stone wall you need around 65-70 phlegm to do it in 1 time.

Stone wall have 15 soak so you'll need 25+ phlegm to do any damage to it:
damage:
sqrt(phlegm / 10) * 10
Then you count:
dmg - soak

For 20 phlegm it would be:
dmg: ~14,14
14,14 - 15 = less than 0 so no dmg.

Ooh, sounds like I didn't understand correctly after all :(

Thanks for the detailed explanation!
