risk of ending up with a duff base.

Who says your dummy base has to be a duff base? All it needs to be is different.

Watching all this negative reaction. Anything can be exploited and things are still being exploited.

But in fair play, fair clans. This is a huge plus. This isnt the game saver but will make it somewhat amusing again.

I plan on using this in the clan as a battle for position. Co vs Co, elder vs elder and who deserves promotions. If you are ready to promote someone to co and have multiple eligible players. Battle test!! Or tournamemt style.


Winner of best of 5.
Troop selection and troop drops.
Battle Strategy

As long as there are replays, we can decide who gets co based on those factors.

How is that not enjoyable?

I would like to see them limit the challenge to only when the clan is not in prep day or war day

[Radiating]

Honestly, I am really looking forward to this. And a 1 gem boost on top! Great work Supercell.

Just a thought: Is this a way of getting the modders to play the game fairly?

I sense that it's to mitigate advantages. There's no possible way that this can directly contribute to people going FP.

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 comm

There's not really a downside to this for the casual players but for the hard-core war players people will spend all day practising

[SpyCracker]

Can we use heroes in a friendly attack even if they are upgrading?

[Roynice152]

With the no expense for troops, who is going wreck your clans bases? Since I am the strongest in my clan, I don't see this being much of a challenge. But I would like to see them attack mine and find my weak links.

I can't read all 111 pages of comments, but I think this is a great addition to the game.

The concerns about people abusing it during wars is unfounded, it is not the same as sandboxing as it is available to ALL clans if they can take the time and trouble to set up mock attacks.

I can't see my clan doing that, we war often but none of us have the time. It will however mean we can test our new defence layouts, and try out unfamiliar troop combinations, which will be awesome.

It may also lead to more variety in defensive layouts.

Psychic Octopus failed, modding continued, so lets add the mod to the game so players can't complain the cheaters are cheating because they won't know if it was a modded sandbox or a Supercell sanctioned one. My question is, when am I going to see posters crying about a permaban?
