  • Question
    What happens if I join a clan?
    Community Answer
    Joining a clan allows the player to do many things. First of all, it allows a player to socialise with other players in the clan. Second, it allows the player to request for troops and donate troops. Third, with enough members, wars can be started against other clans, requiring skill and activity to win. There are many different types of clans, including: casual/social clans, war clans, war farming clans, push clans, and donating clans.

  • Question
    How do I create a clan?
    Community Answer
    Creating a clan requires your clan castle to be built with 10,000 gold. Once your clan castle is built, tap on your clan castle, tap clan, then head over to the create clan tab. Input a suitable clan name, a description, trophy requirements, location, and the rest, then tap the 40,000 gold button. You need 40,000 gold to create a clan.
