5 CoC Clan Wars Secrets that may surprise you

Clash of Clans: Clan Wars have been a very welcome injection of new content to SuperCell’s mobile strategy juggernaut, but as with other aspects of CoC (and mobile games in general), you are often left to figure out the finer details on your own. In a game of strategy, information is power, so arm yourself with these clan wars secrets and get a leg up on those other Chiefs.

1. Picking who you want to participate

Clans range in size, and Clan Wars is designed to accommodate that. You’ve probably noticed that Clans are matched in 5 member increments up to the maximum of 50 vs. 50, and down to the minimum of 10 vs. 10. What is much less obvious, is who participates and how they are listed.

Participation

Update While this section was true when the article was first written, Supercell has updated the way clan wars participants are chosen since we wrote it. Now you can explicitly opt in or out to wars. In case there are too many members opted in to join a war, the most powerful clan members are chosen rather than whoever has the most trophies.
Clan members are ranked ***by Trophies***, and then selected up to a number between 10 and 50 that’s divisible by 5. Town Hall level, and upgrade status have no effect on whether clan members *participate* in a Clan War.
Warning If some of your senior members like to really “slum it” in the low trophy ranges when farming, be sure they climb up to the “per 5” breakpoint before starting a Clan Wars search, or they will be excluded from the Clan War.
Pro Tip Have a member you don’t want to participate in a Clan War? If you have extra members past the “per 5” clan match up threshold, you can have them drop Trophies till they are at the bottom of your list. So for example if you have 12 members, make sure they drop till they are 11 or 12. This will keep them out of the Clan War, and will give another clan member the opportunity to participate so that hopefully attacks don’t go unused.

War Map Listing

Somewhat counter-intuitively, the Clan War Map lists each participating clan member based on their upgrades. Often this will result in a sorting by Town Hall level, but it is possible for highly upgraded clan members (for their level) to be listed higher than a fellow clan member with a higher Town Hall level. This doesn’t have much strategic effect, but there are minor effects.
Pro Tip The War Map is a great way to assess the upgrades-based pecking order of your clan. You may be surprised to see some clan members ranking much higher than you’d expect, and some much lower. If you are recruiting, or assessing new recruits, keep an eye out for those that rank highly among peers at the same Town Hall level.
Warning Upgrading your Town Hall too soon has lots of downsides, and now there is another one. Players who rush to upgrade will find that they may rank lower on the War Map than highly upgraded clanmates with a lower level Town Hall. This will make the higher Town Hall clannie a lightning rod for attacks in every Clan War because a) Opposing clan members generally get more loot for attacking a higher Town Hall target b) The “lightning rod” will look like the easiest target for that Town Hall level, and in general a weak target. I know it’s hard, but don’t rush Town Hall upgrades Chief.

2. Attacking

By now if you’ve done a few Clan Wars you’ve probably figured out that you only need 1 star to be eligible for a War Win Bonus, and I’m sure you’ve guessed that not all targets are created equal so it pays to shop around. There are some nuances of choosing a target that are not obvious, however.

Collaborative Selfishness

You might think that Clan Wars were about rallying your Clan to fight other Clans and win lots of loot. This is true, but to a much lesser extent than you might initially think. In each attack, you earn loot during the attack as an individual. If you earn stars in an attack, you also become eligible for a War Win loot bonus as an individual. The only effect other clanmates have on your loot is if your Clan wins or loses overall, and this in turn only affects themodifier for your War Win loot bonus. If you don’t earn any stars, you don’t get any bonus period. If you win stars, you will get a bonus even if your team loses, and more importantly even if other clanmates attack the same target and score more stars. In the end, the loot bonus is much higher if you win as a team… but don’t forget to look out for number one.

Double Jeopardy

You get exactly one shot at any given target. This means the first clan member to attempt a target always has a little bit more of a challenge, since trap locations and CC troops will be unknown, and they won’t get a second try. Even if you are attacking a target another clan mate has already hit, it pays to be fully prepared. Watch all replays, memorize the locations of traps, and for heaven’s sake bring a full Clan Castle and max Spells to the fight.
Pro Tip Due to the “No Double Jeopardy” rule, it pays to have your heavy hitters attack later in the Clan War. This will give them an opportunity to watch replays and see trap locations and Clan Castle troop compositions, which may increase their chances of getting the higher Star counts you’ll need to win the Clan War.

3. War Base and Donates

If you’ve read agent’s Tips for Clan Wars you should already know that your War Base is different than your regular base in several key ways. For some reason I still see A LOT of Clans or Clan Members that enter Clan Wars without seeming to understand this basic difference, so I think it bears elaborating.
Clash of Clans: Clan Wars Edit War Base

Reloadless Defense

Traps, XBows, Inferno Towers, and Heroes are all immediately replenished after each Clan Wars attack by an opposing Clan Member, without any need to pay for them. In fact, even the resources that get stolen from your Collectors and Storages don’t come out of your actual personal reserves. This should radically change your base design, to try and pull every possible trick on your opponents to limit Stars. Even leave some of your traps unarmed in your “real” base, be sure to place them appropriately in your War Base. Be sure you have purchased all the traps for your Town Hall level, and at least get the cheap upgrades, as they can really make a difference when attempting to stop a 3 star.
Pro Tip Due to the new Hero AI, remember that your Hero will now patrol a more narrow area and can not be “kited” very far. Factor this into your Clan War Base design to protect your Town Hall, your Clan Castle, or critical defensive buildings. When your Hero engages enemy troops, they will tend to draw aggro, even if those units can’t path to the Hero, and this is a great way to get them chewed up by defenses.

Premium Clan Castle Troops

Unless you are in a pretty elite Clan, your clanmates are not going to be able to shell out Dragons every time you make a request. For Clan Wars though, it is really beneficial to spend a little extra for the more premium troops, since they are used over and over. It is also worth noting that Clan War CC troops can only be donated via the War Map and only on Preparation Day. Either due to lack of coordination, ignorance, or poor teamwork, we fight a lot of other Clans who have zero troops in their War Base Clan Castles. This is a significant strategic disadvantage because not only does the attacker not have to encounter and eliminate the infinitely replenishing CC troops, they don’t even have to spend one second during the battle thinking about how to deal with them. This can easily make the difference between 2 and 3 stars on a close battle.

4. Rolling the tape

One of the really cool aspects of Clan Wars is that it gives your whole Clan the chance to review the same targets in a lot of detail, and analyze the results of one or multiple attacks on each of those targets. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn ways to improve your own raids, and share learnings with clanmates.

Attack in progress!

If you are chatting with a clanmate who is about to attack, open the War Map and watch their target. If you time it right, you should have an option to “Watch Battle Live”. This gives you a cool opportunity to see exactly what they see, and try and assess whether you would make the same decisions or choose differently. Be sure to congratulate big wins, and offer condolences on crushing defeats – but either way, see what can be learned from each attack. Even a major slip up can identify trap locations and defensive weak point or blind spots.

Did you see that?!?

At any given time, the best attack on each base on the War Map is accessible by clicking the blue “Replay” button – but what if you want to see one of the other attacks against it? You can! Simply tap the blue star next to the opposing clans name on the War Map, and a dialog will open up with various tabs of stats and details about the Clan War. On the “War Events” tab a replay is available for every battle in the Clan War so you can watch those epic moments again and again.

5. War winnings and your “real” Clan Castle

As if the rest of Clan Wars were not confusing enough, the actual loot mechanics have further nuances to confuse you.

Ghost Loot

During each of your two attacks in the Clan War, you will destroy Collectors and Storages as you seek to completely obliterate your enemies and salt the earth so that nothing ever grows. If you’re paying close attention, you’ll notice that you get a modest amount of loot during these attacks. This Ghost Loot seems to come from basically nowhere. Your opponent does not lose it as a result of your attack, and it doesn’t seem to be related to how much loot that opponent actually has at the time of the attack. Spooky.

What are those tiny shapes?

Like I touched on in #2, you will win loot at the end of the war depending on a) the targets you personally defeated with at least one star b) whether your clan won, lost, or tied. If you win, what you see is what you get. If you tie or lose, you’ll still get something, but much less. So where does all of this loot go? Obviously the most logical place to store it is in tiny containers on top of your Clan Castle. Here I’m referring to the Clan Castle in your real base (not your War Base). I’m of two minds about whether SuperCell did us a favor by storing the loot in the CC, or figured out another backhanded way to expose our hard fought booty to further plundering, but regardless… that’s where you can find your loot after the Clan War is over.
Pro Tip If you like to leave your Clan Castle empty and outside your base (and why is that again?) then take heed that it is now a tiny Storage, and should be treated like one. I find it useful for setting aside a little bit of extra Dark Elixir when I’m trying to make a push to an expensive DE upgrade, but opinions vary about whether or not you should immediately empty your CC as soon as you have space to do so, or leave your winnings in there until you need to spend them.
Warning After the stones are cast in a Clan War, and you know roughly how much loot you are going to win – check and make sure you have room in your Clan Castle, and “Collect” it’s contents if you do not. Losing all of that loot to overflow would be a genuine tragedy.
