How can I protect my Clan from being attacked?

The Clan Capital is your Clan's central structure. Losing it not only means losing resources but also tactical ground. Here's a clear guide on how to defend it effectively.

How your Capital is protected

1. Your Clan Capital is protected by Forts and the Shield of Peace (if charged).

2. All Forts must be destroyed before enemies can attack the Capital.

3. As long as at least one Fort remains, your Capital cannot be targeted.

4. Once all the Forts have been destroyed, the Shield of Peace is activated automatically for the following 20 hours.

Conflagration status explained

Conflagration is a state a Fort enters when it has been successfully destroyed. While in this state:

• The Fort no longer protects the Capital.

• The Fort's walls cannot be rebuilt for 40 hours.

However, Conflagration only activates under specific conditions:

Battle outcome

Conflagration activated

Wall reconstruction

Fort destroyed completely

Yes

Cannot be rebuilt for the next 40 hours

Fort only partially damaged

No

Walls can be rebuilt immediately

Note that you cannot charge the Shield if the Fort is under the Conflagration effect.

What happens if the Capital falls?

If enemies destroy your Capital's fortifications and defeat all allied reinforcements inside:

• They will loot all Clan resources stored in the Capital, regardless of their army's carrying capacity.

If your Clan Capital is completely destroyed, it must be rebuilt within seven days, or it will vanish permanently. To rebuild it, you'll need to:

• Spend standard building resources.

• Ensure that at least one Fort remains standing.

Using the Shield of Peace

If you've charged the Capital's Shield of Peace before the last Fort falls:

• The Shield activates automatically once the last Fort acquires Conflagration status.

• The Shield lasts 20 hours.

During this time:

• The Capital cannot be attacked.

• Allies can reinforce the Capital.

If the Shield is not charged in time, the Capital becomes exposed immediately after the last Fort acquires Conflagration status.

Key rules and defensive tips

Scenario

Rule or Impact

Placing a new Fort while the Capital is under attack

The Fort will not stop the enemy march, nor will it protect the Capital.

Reinforcing Forts and the Capital

Increases the chances of preventing Conflagration status and the loss of resources.

Charging the Shield of Peace in advance

Prevents immediate vulnerability after the last Fort is lost.

Tips:

• Always maintain at least one active Fort at full strength.

• Charge the Shield of Peace proactively — don't wait to be attacked.

• Monitor the status of your Forts and reinforce them ahead of time.
