Clash for the Throne (CoT) Guide
Clash for the Throne is a highly strategic event where players defend their resources and attack others to gain Conquest Points. The goal is to manage your resources wisely and use tactical attacks to climb the leaderboard.
This guide provides a comprehensive overview for both new and experienced players on how to effectively prepare for, participate in, and recover from Clash for the Throne events.
Preparing for CoT
- Zero Gain Tactic: Empty your city before CoT begins to prevent resource losses. Use all your resources or transfer them to clan buildings.
- Resource Storage: Do not open any treasures you receive during CoT; these act as safes for your resources. Players cannot steal your treasures or gold coins.
- Defensive Strategies: Send armies to a shielded clan member or the clan fort for safety. Consider letting your troops get killed during monster fights to avoid revival costs.
Defensive Measures
- Wall Management: Do not rebuild your walls during CoT; enemies are less likely to attack cities that appear damaged.
- Resource Protection: Ensure that your resources are at or below your warehouse capacity to avoid looting.
- Troop Deployment: If under attack, deploy your troops strategically against a non-clan player to cause the enemy to waste resources.
Attack Strategies
- Target Selection: Attack only enemies within your city level bracket to maximize Conquest Points.
- Avoiding Certain Targets: Never attack other clan forts, portals in your territory, or DM and Tar mines.
- Siege Equipment: Always include plenty of catapults in your army to break down city walls effectively.
During the Event
- Managing Troops: Only revive troops as needed and only those essential for battles to conserve resources.
- Conquest Points: Since the system heavily favors the attacker, focus on offensive strategies to gather points quickly.
- March Time: Always check the march time to enemy cities. Some heroes can significantly prolong the time required to reach an enemy city.
Event Participation Tips
- Smart Resource Management: Keep your city's resources low and unappealing to attackers by managing them wisely and storing them in protected locations.
- Troop Safety: Utilize the clan fort to protect your troops when not actively participating in attacks, saving resources needed for troop revival.
- Enemy Engagement: If an attack is imminent, divert your troops to minimize losses and frustrate the enemy’s efforts.
Post-CoT Actions
- Assessment and Recovery: After the event, review your city's status and resource levels, rebuilding and replanning as necessary.
- Feedback and Strategy Adjustment: Discuss with your clan what strategies worked, what didn’t, and how to improve for the next CoT event.
