Clan Wars FAQ

Why can't I attack in the war?
There are a few reasons why you might not be able to attack in the war

• You are ineligible for war
• You have joined when the Clan War has already started
• Your base has not matched up with any of the opponent's base
• The war is in preparation day

What do you mean I am ineligible for war?

Ineligible for war means you have just left a clan while it was still in the progress of a Clan War. Don't worry though, it's not permanent, but just a cool down until your previous clan has finished its war.

What do you mean my base was not matched up with any of the opponent's base?

Supercell uses a very complex calculation to match up the clans according to the bases of the participants. While you may think that your base is very strong and you should be in the war, it is possible that it does not match up with ANY of the opponents base which may include being too strong or too weak.

What is preparation day?

Preparation day is the time for you and your clan mates to donate troops to the War Castle, rearrange bases, build up defenses, and so on.

So what should I do to be able to participate in a Clan War?

While I am not 100% sure what you can do to ensure your spot in the next Clan War, my only suggestion is to build up your defenses (e.g. Walls, Archer towers, cannons, etc.)

What's the difference between the War Castle and the Clan Castle?

War Castle holds the troops for your War Base which effectively defends your War Base during the Battle Day of the war. In other words, this castle holds the defensive troops.

Clan Castle holds the troops for your regular multiplayer attacks and your war attacks. These are your offensive troops during the war and your defensive troops in your normal base.

TL;DR: War Castle troops are defensive, Clan Castle troops are offensive

Where is my war loot?

At the end of the war, the loot is rewarded to your Clan Castle where you have to click the "Collect" button to obtain the loot. This loot is lootable by normal raiders so try and get it asap!

I donated 500 over troops to the War Castles, why aren't they showing in my donations in the clan?

That is something that a lot of people have been asking Supercell to implement. It might be in your normal clan donations or they might make another one just for war donations. Either ways, we thank you for your donations and we hope that Supercell will do something about it soon.

Any other questions please ask, I'll try to answer them to the best of my knowledge =)
