Clan War Rules and Strategies

Clan wars are won by the clan who scores the most stars! Bonus loots are awarded to the winner while the loser takes home only a puny portion of the bonus loot.

War Schedule

Monday @ 9 PM EST (Clan War Search Starts)

Friday @ 3 PM EST (Clan War Search Starts)

Notes: Subject to change, clan members will be notified in advance

ATTENTION:
1. Inform anyone of the Leaders or Elders if you cannot participate in the war before war is declared.
2. Do not donate troops into the war defense unless you have the highest level of troops in the clan.
3. State "the troops you want with level" and "for war" when requesting for war reinforcement troops.

Clan War Rules and Strategies

War Rules

1. Pick your opponent wisely based on your town hall level and troop strength. Every star counts! Don't play the hero by attacking much higher than your recommended target. Earn the clan a fresh 3-star before challenging your skills.

2. Always ask for Clan Castle Troops - any extra troop helps. No shame in asking for high level troops during Clan Wars.

3. Lure enemy's Clan Castle (CC) Troops out if you are attacking from ground. View demo here - http://goo.gl/FLdGlU. Hint, click on the CC in scout mode and determine the range of the CC. 1) When you start your attack, send in a troop to trigger the CC troops. 2) Lure the CC troops to a location that is safe from defensive fire, then 3) Surround the troops with archers or wizards until they are destroyed. FYI, a lightning spell can be used to take out CC troops but it will NOT have any effect on a dragon.

4. Use higher tier troops (view recommended troop for war below). Lower tier troops such as barbarians, archers and goblins are only good enough for normal raiding.

5. No town hall sniping before victory is confirmed (rule of thumb is the last 3 hours till war ends or upon announcement by a Co-Leader). Break this rule and you will likely be booted.

Recommended War Strategies 

Town Hall 6 and Below

1. Giant + Wizards + Healer

• Unit Combo : 15 Giants, 10-15 Wizards, 8-10 Wall Breakers, 1-2 Healers, some Barbarian
• Spell Combo : 2 Heal
• Strength : Common ground attack, fairly powerful
• Strategy : ALWAYS LURE TROOPS. Barbarian is used to trigger traps and as a bait to kill clan castle troops. Giant must attack from 1 direction, wizard always support from behind. Take down enemy Air Defense, then send in the Healers.

Town Hall 7 & 8

1. Mass Dragons

• Unit Combo : Mass Dragon
• Spell Combo : 2 Heal, 1 Rage
• Strength : Most powerful attack for TH 8 & 7
• Strategy : Clear a path for your dragon to enter the center region

2. Giant + Wizards

• Unit Combo : 15 Giants, 20 Wizards, 8-10 Wall Breakers, some Barbarian
• Spell Combo : 3 Heal
• Strength : Common ground attack, fairly powerful
• Strategy : ALWAYS LURE TROOPS, alternatively if you have high level lightning spell (level 5 and above), you can fry their clan castle troops. Barbarian is used to trigger traps and as a bait to kill clan castle troops. Giant must attack from 1 direction, wizard always support from behind. Some might prefer healer but personally, I think 3 properly placed healing spells would help your troops to survive long enough.
