New battles format for Strongholds

Clan Wars

Tank Commanders!

Up until now, clans with an insufficient number of players or Tier X vehicles successful game in battles for Strongholds, could not use Reserves above the fourth tier. Now everything will change.

In the upcoming 9.8 Update, a Champion division format will be added to battles in Strongholds (maximum of 10 vehicles, each limited to Tier VIII or below). It will be available for clans with a Command Center level from 5 to 7.

More clans will soon be able to activate the Defense period and fight in the usual Champion format, level up their Stronghold and get better bonuses.

At the same time, all clans with activated Defense hours will still be able to fight each other with some restrictions on Battle Reserves usage:

#Attack TypeParticipating vehicles for both sidesBattle Consumables usage
1 Tier V - VII (Attacker) vs. Tier V - VII 8/10 (from 1 to 10 vehicles, with a maximum of Tier VIII)
  • Can be used unlimited times for both sides. Both teams may use the appropriate level of Battle consumables
2 Tier VIII - X (Attacker) vs. Tier V - VII 8/10 (from 1 to 10 vehicles, with a maximum of Tier VIII)
  • Attacking side is unable to use consumables
  • Defending side (Tier V - VII) can use consumables appropriate to their level.
3 Tier V - VII (Attacker) vs. Tier VIII - X 10/15 (from 1 to 15 vehicles, with a maximum of Tier X)
  • Can be used unlimited times for both sides. Both teams may use the appropriate level of Battle consumables
4 Tier VIII - X (Attacker) vs. Tier VIII - X 10/15 (from 1 to 15 vehicles, with a maximum of Tier X)
  • Can be used unlimited times for both sides. Both teams may use the appropriate level of Battle consumables

 


Time Limit for Defense hours

In Update 9.8, a restriction for Defense hours will also be implemented for Strongholds from 01:00 to 10:00 UTC+8.

This change is needed to prevent possible clashes between scheduled battles and planned server restarts, as well as to avoid night battles in order to seal gaming sessions.

Please take note of the following:

  • Battles for clans who have Defence hours from 01:00 to 10:00 UTC+8 will be postponed to 20:00 UTC+8. All planned battles will be reset.
  • Clans, whose Defense hours will be moved to 20:00 UTC+8, will be able to change it to a more convenient time. This can be done in two ways:
    1. By changing the Defense hours to a more favourable timeslot before the release of Update 9.8. Clans will need to wait up to 2 weeks for the changes to take effect.
    2. By contacting the Customer Support Center.
      1. Tickets to the Support center should only be sent by the Clan Commander or his deputy.
      2. The ticket title should include the clan tag, along with a subject displayed in the following format: "Clan (clan tag) Defense hour transfer from 21:00"
