Introducing the Friendly Challenge!

[BurhanSW]

I can conclude that supercell prohibited xmod and make their own mod... So good...

[WiseGuyClasher]

Maybe you should reread. If someone copies my base to practice attacks, how are scouts needed or how are they going to help. The person is not hitting my actual base and scouts are not relevant. Go back and reread

This isn't hard to understand... One low lvl person uses a war attack on your base and exposes the important traps / cc. Then someone else in their clan builds it so they can sandbox attack you until they 3* you. Modders were doing this for a long time.

I seriously doubt supercell will disable this feature during war; this feature is marketed as a way to test bases, practice bases, and formulate strategy. If this is disabled during war, there will be a serious time crunch for a lot of people who have fulltime jobs to use it. War clans are in war so often that they would be almost no time to use this feature. If the goal is as they claim, this will be a 24/7 feature to help improve attack styles and improve attacking.

The good news is that the game will be fair; everyone will have the same ability. So for this, I say kudos supercell. The people against this new update, you wanted it to be fair and here it is; stop complaining. have a nice day

We wanted to get rid of modding not for everyone to become one. Much prefer the game how it is now with no/very few modders. There is a way to be fair without sandboxing attacks, this is war not trophy pushing. Skill should e rewarded not time spent.

This is gonna be fun. I can see myself coming onto clash everyday just to troll my clanmates, in both attacking and defending

[Humbob]

Wouldn't the problem be fixed if, when a war was declared, friendly battles for the entire clan are disabled? Both during prep and during war.

Sure we can still practice on boilerplate type base designs but I think that's a good thing as it encourages clashers to stay away from boilerplate designs.

many clans war non stop

[Zackyzone]

I am pretty sure they would disable this during clan wars. But if they don't Supercell should be able to realise the problem quickly and fix it. Definitely a exciting and fun new aspect to the game if this isn't available during clan wars and great for just casual attacking where you don't want to waste your troops and have fun.

[Ughfghun]

You can't let this feature available during cw
Don't undermine players ability to spend time copying another base

[Bvlopes]

great news this Tuesday !! Congratulations to Supercell !!

Friendly Challenges let clanmates attack one another for practice, competition, or just plain fun! Friendly Challenges are unlimited and won’t cost gold or consume Troops, Spells, Heroes or Traps. You also won’t earn resources, Trophies or other bonuses.



Issuing a Friendly Challenge:

To invite your clanmates to attack your village, look for the new "Challenge" button at the top of Clan chat. You can choose between your active layout or any other valid saved layout, including War Bases. Add some custom text (or don’t) and post the Friendly Challenge to the Clan chat. Simple!

Once posted, any member of your Clan can accept the Friendly Challenge and launch an attack against your chosen layout. Don't worry, they won't be able to steal any of your resources or Trophies. Any troops you have in your Clan Castle at the time you post will be used as defensive troops, but you won’t lose those either.



Accepting a Friendly Challenge:

When you accept a Friendly Challenge, you will attack your clanmates village using your current army. Everything you deploy will be returned to you after the battle, so don’t hold back!

The replay and results of your attack will be available in Clan chat. Of course, if your Clan can't wait that long, they can watch the attack live.



Practice, Perfect and Experiment!

Friendly Challenges will provide you with an awesome way to improve your attacking skills, perfect your defensive layouts, experiment with different troops or just have fun. Test out different army compositions, new layout ideas, or try something crazy! Clans can arrange competitions, or just have friendly back-and-forth duels.

We hope to see Friendly Challenges widely used! We see the ability to practice attacks at any time helping to motivate new attacking and defending strategies, and help Clans get even better at playing together.



Please leave your thoughts and feedback in the comments below!

I love this!!!! I always despised using armies and resources in general to practice an attack... also, I love the fact that I can see how my layout defends before an enemy attacker actually comes through.... SUPERCELL!!! I LOVE YOU GUYS!!! Keep up this innovation!...

One thing that came to mind however is this: In clan wars I can see clans having persons change their base layout to those on the war map to practice taking down the base....

Is there a way around this? The copying of bases to heighten chances of 3 starring a base in war. I hope you guys have a plan to remove this possibility because it would be a step backward.

[FelixKing]

Great idea -- but we still need to train war troops (can be expensive) in order to practice, it would be great if we can get free troops for such friendly challenge, isn't it?!
