CLAN WARS 2 IS HERE!

UPDATE RELEASE NOTES

It is time. Gather your Clan, load up your Clan Boat and join the epic journey that is...

With this new update, we are completely replacing the current Clan Wars feature that has been in Clash Royale since 2018.

Clans now own a CLAN BOAT and use this to go head-to-head with other Clans in the RIVER RACE!

We are introducing a brand new way to play Clash Royale in the form of BOAT BATTLES, a PvE (Player vs Environment) attack and defense mode that the whole Clan can get involved with.

Alongside this, we have another new game mode, DUEL, plus lots more. These are some pretty big changes coming, so let's break it down.


HOW TO PLAY

To play Clan Wars 2 you have to join a Clan. If you are already in one, awesome! If you aren’t you can join one by visiting the Clan tab and choosing a Clan Boat to hop aboard!

CLAN WARS 2 (QUICK EDITION)

Want to get stuck in? Here's how to play Clan Wars 2 in 6 easy steps.

  • Compete in the

    RIVER RACE

  • Create

    WAR DECKS

    for the River Race

  • Complete

    RIVER TASKS

    using War Decks

  • Earn

    FAME

    by completing River Tasks

  • Reach the

    FINISH LINE

    by earning Fame

  • Win

    BIG REWARDS

Nice.


RIVER RACE

As you enter Clan Wars 2, you will notice that you now have a CLAN BOAT. You use this Clan Boat to participate in Clan Wars, by sailing along a vast river to the Clan War Colosseum (more about THAT later).

To move your Clan Boat you need to complete RIVER TASKS using your WAR DECKS.

To win the River Race, you need to reach the Finish Line. Once you reach the Finish Line, you will receive a River Chest! These chests contain big rewards shared throughout the whole Clan (participating members only).

---

HOT TIP

If you don’t manage to reach the Finish Line, don’t worry. You still get a reward! Just not a big one. It's literally a boot with some rewards stuffed in it. BUT IT'S BETTER THAN NOTHING!

REWARDS

  • WEEKLY REWARDS

Each week, your Clan will unlock a River Chest by reaching the Finish Line. The size of the chest depends on where you place in the River Race, so earning Fame faster than other Clans is a must! Each Clan member who participated in the current River Race will get this chest.

Coming in 1st Place will get you a GUARANTEED Legendary card, alongside your River Chest reward!

River Chests will contain a variety of rewards, which you can see by tapping the information icon on the chest by the Finish Line.

  • DAILY REWARDS

By completing River Tasks, you will earn daily gold!

---

HOT TIP

Reach higher Leagues to earn even more rewards from Clan Wars 2!


RIVER TASKS

These are the main objectives you will be completing in Clan Wars 2.

River Tasks include:

  • BATTLES

Go head to head against other players in a traditional 1v1 Battle.

  • DUELS

High-stakes, Best of 3 gameplay. Use 3 different decks to best your opponent!

  • BOAT BATTLES

Set up your Boat Defenses and attack other Clan Boats throughout the River Race.

  • THE BOATYARD

Quick and cheap repairs for damaged Clan Boats.

  • CLAN WAR COLOSSEUM

Only playable in the Final Week, players can earn bonus Clan Trophies through Colosseum Duels.

River Tasks move your Clan Boat through the River Race and earn you gold!

---

HOT TIP

You earn Fame AND Gold whether you win or lose. Winning gets you more, though. As it should be!


WAR DECKS

River Tasks are completed by using WAR DECKS. War Decks work like regular Battle Decks, but with a twist.

War Decks must have unique cards (you cannot use the same card in more than one War Deck) and once they are used they go onto a cooldown which resets at midnight (local time) each day.

You can have up to 4 War Decks in Clan Wars 2, which means that you have 32 unique cards to play with!

---

HOT TIP

You can only use each War Deck once in each 24 hour period. When on cooldown, a War Deck cannot be used to complete River Tasks. Use them wisely!


FAME

Fame, it’s what all Clans strive for. As luck would have it, it's also the main way to progress in a River Race!

The more Fame you earn, the more enthused your crew get to sail the Clan Boat. The increase of Fame from your adoring fans moves you down the river!

Like gold, you will earn Fame whether you WIN or LOSE.

---

HOT TIP

FAME can not be earned while a Clan Boat is DAMAGED. You want to move your Clan Boat, you've got to fix it!


CLAN BOAT

Each Clan now has a Clan Boat, which they use to compete in the River Race. Yo ho ho! Ahoy! ...and all that stuff.

Clan Boats are used to play BOAT BATTLES.

BOAT BATTLES

A new game mode coming with Clan Wars 2, Boat Battles allow you to attack other Clans directly and stop them progressing in the River Race! Awesome! What’s that you say? There must be a catch?

Well, other Clans can also attack YOUR Clan Boat. It’s a good job you can set up Boat Defenses, then.

BOAT DEFENSES

  • Clan members can set up to a total of 10-15 BOAT DEFENSES depending on your Clan League.

  • A Boat Defense consists of 3 DEFENSE TOWERS, which are each loaded up with 4 cards of a players choice.

  • Boat Defenses will defend a Clan Boat automatically!

  • Defense Towers will only be activated when they are damaged.

  • Once activated, the Defense Tower will summon Troops to defend the Clan Boat!

  • Once all of a Clan’s Boat Defenses are destroyed, the Clan Boat becomes DAMAGED and can not move until it is REPAIRED.

---

HOT TIP

Some cards are banned from being used in Boat Defenses. You can see these banned cards at the bottom of the Defense selection.

BOAT ATTACKS

  • Clans can attack other Clan Boats that are in the same River Race.

  • Defense Towers attack both Air & Ground Troops with it’s Gatling Cannon

  • Defense Towers only spawn Troops when they are activated.

  • Defense Towers are activated when they receive Damage. An activated Defense Tower spawns Troops!

  • Damage to Defense Towers is persistent (it carries over from attacks).

VICTORY

  • To WIN a Boat Attack, you need to destroy at least 1 Defense Tower.

  • To LOSE a Boat Attack, you either have to have your Tower destroyed by the enemy Troops, or

  • Not destroy a Defense Tower before the timer runs out.

HOT TIP

Once activated, the Defense Tower will continually summon Troops to defend the Clan Boat. Try taking down one Defense Tower at a time or you'll get overrun!


BOAT REPAIR

REPAIR REWARDS replace Fame when your Clan Boat is damaged.

To repair your Clan Boat, you need a certain amount of Repair Rewards. Completing River Tasks will earn you Repair Rewards and the Boatyard is the only River Task that gives you ‘free’ Repair Rewards just for using a War Deck there.

Once your Clan Boat is repaired, you will be able to earn Fame and continue moving down the River.

BOAT SHIELD

A BOAT SHIELD will defend a recently repaired Clan Boat from any Boat Attacks. Any Clan Boat with a Boat Shield cannot be targeted by another Clan until the Boat Shield expires. You can see how long a Boat Shield has left before it expires!

HOT TIP

Make sure to set up your Boat Defenses while the Boat Shield is active!


DUELS

Duels require players to battle other players in a Best of 3 format (2 wins are needed to win the Duel) and use 3 unique War Decks.

You can play a Duel with a minimum of 3 War Decks, but it is optimal to take 4 War Decks into a Duel, so that you have more strategy choices!

Duels are the single best source of Fame and Gold out of all River Tasks.

In the unlikely event that a Duel ends in a stalemate (both players at the same Hitpoints after a Tiebreaker), then a coin flip will be used to determine the winner.

HOT TIP

War Decks are only put on cooldown if they are used. If you can win a Duel in 2 Battles, you only end up using 2 War Decks and can complete more River tasks with the remaining 2!


THE TRADER

This friendly Trader brings new Cards to trade every single day!

The Trader can only be visited in Clan Wars, and offers a selection of 3 cards to trade. You require TRADE TOKENS to trade with him. He won't accept anything else for trades! He's very particular about that.

For the cost of Gems, you can choose to REROLL what cards you trade with the Trader. His options will stay the same, however.

Throughout a Clan War the Trader will change up his cards on offer offering different rarities.

HOT TIP

The Trader will replenish his wares at midnight, so check back for new offers daily!


CLAN WAR SEASONS

Unlike the old Clan Wars, Wars in Clan Wars 2 are always ‘on’ and don’t need to be started by a Clan Leader. They start and end through Clan War Seasons.

Seasons in Clan Wars 2 follow the regular game Season, so you have a clear start and end date. Each Clan War Season lasts for either 4 or 5 weeks and each week contains a RIVER RACE.

The first River Races start as soon as the update is released and will last for 5 weeks!
