And my point is I do not get three stared therefore if I get a shield at all it will be less...

Put your TH inside the base. Raid as normal. When the game tells you take a break... Take a break.

When you have to put 'as long as' in there, your reply becomes invalid. Yes, us leaders DO need worry about getting kicked. Simple.

Anyway, is there any kind of simple to read/understand post or chart that sums this whole timer thing up? Better yet, some kind of explanation as to why it now has to be so complicated?

Fair enough, You should know by now that SC doesn't cater to war clans. Get groupme or other communication app to bridge those six minutes you are offline.

So using the example provided in the announcement page..

"For example, say a player reaches their Personal Break 3-hour limit. They will get a 6-minute Personal Break timeout to give other players a chance to attack them. If 6 minutes goes by without a defense, the player can then come back online for 15 minutes protected by Village Guard (and attack as normal, if they like). Then comes another 6-minute Personal Break timeout. Say, this time, someone attacks them for 15% destruction and loses. As this is a weak attack, the player can again come back online for 15 minutes protected by Village Guard. The 3rd time they get the 6-minute Personal Break timeout, no matter what happens, they will get a full reset on their Personal Break 3-hour limit and a full automatic Village Guard (via the Mercy Rule)."


1. You play for 3 hours.

2. You then get the 1st time out for 6 mins allowing other people to attack.

3. If you do not get attacked within this 6 mins, you can come back in-game for another 15mins.

4. You are allowed to attack during this 15 mins.

5. After this 15 mins of playtime is up, you get ANOTHER 6 mins of timeout similar to #2.

6. If you STILL do not get attacked during this 2nd round of 6 mins of downtime, you are able to log back in and play for another 15 mins.

7. After 15 mins, you get kicked out again for a 3rd round of 6 mins down time.

8. Once this 3rd round of 6 mins down time is up, you can play again for another 3 hours before this whole cycle starts again.


Buying the VG extends this playtime of 3 hours to 5 hours.

NOW i get it..

Unfortunately most don't get it.
They still think they can't play for 3 hours.
