What is Strongholds?

  • Strongholds is not related to Clan Wars or Team Battles, but rather, it is a mode meant to complement a Clan
  • A Stronghold is a property of a Clan and consists of a virtual military base with defensive zones and upgradable structures
  • A Clan Commander can create a Stronghold for free at any time
  • There is no minimum requirement for how many Clan members to have to build a Stronghold. You will need at least seven members to participate in a battle, however
  • The more a Stronghold is developed and upgraded, the more bonuses a Clan will receive
    • An example of this would be that a Stronghold gets upgraded for a small boost in Credits or experience per battle, and each upgrade lasts for a certain amount of time
  • Your Clansmen will also receive substantial bonuses when using Reserves
    • Reserves affect all types of battles in the game. Reserve level is defined by the level of the structure where the Reserve is prepared. Reserve effectiveness, duration, and preparation cost increases with the Reserve level
  • More information on Reserves can be found here: Reserves
  • A Stronghold Guide can be found here: Stronghold Guide
