What's the formula or algorithm for the tiebreaker?

[tyler4]

yes, total and average are pretty different
even if i didnt know, i would know that it says "total destruction"

Okay, what's the difference between total destruction and average destruction without searching forever for it? Because obviously, if you look at the %s, they're both some form of average of how much of the base was destroyed.

TLDR you're being a **** despite not knowing the details of what the OP is asking

[daz258]

You get a clan's total destruction by averaging all the % destroyed in each attack from your clan.

In the even of a tie, whichever clan that has the higher average will win.

Yep, highest % of best attacks.

So you could at times actually lower that % with a better attack.

Example.

1 star 80% first attack
2 star 60% second attack

The 2 star attack is what the % will be based on.

Also, bases that are not attacked will be considered as 0%.

Example

20 player war, first 2 attacks are 3 stars 100%. Total destruction will be 10% at that point in time.

So you can't ignore a players top base which can at times only be realistic 2 star chance at 50%-60% in an attempt to boost the % up.

If in doubt go to your enermy clan and check there defence log and see what is your clans best attack on each base. It uses those only for the total damage. So yes you could lower it if you had a 1 star 98% raid then someone 2 stars it for say 60% it will go from using 98% to 60%

... Why would you EVER do that when those two stars mean you'd win the war outright?

I agree, but we have had opponents before that at times don't even try to attack my or my clan leaders Jeeeis base. We are both fully max bases, sometimes when the opposition doesn't have the full max power they don't even try afraid of getting 0s and hit lower.

I guess the point I'm making is even if it seems hard, getting even 40% and 0 stars on such a base would increase your total destruction. As opposed to ignoring it assuming the % is only calculated on bases you have attacked.

Unlikely to ever decide a war...but you never know!

I have 10s skip my max th9 every other war.....baffling when you really think about it

Aren't the two numbers the same?

I look at my war log and the total destruction underneath the final score and the average destruction in the stats are always the same. I mean they are only counting the best attacks anyway, right?

The only scenario that the two numbers could be different that I can think of is when a clan have a high percentage 1-star on a base and a lower percentage 2-star on that very same base (without getting a 3-star on that base), but that also means they don't count in the high percentage 1-star because it's not, starwise, the best attacks.

But since the update, both numbers are always the same for our clan.

[x0pht]

are you serious or trolling? it is total destruction, the update said that
the algorithm is whoever has the higher one wins when stars are tied

My apologies if I didn't make myself clear.

I did know that the total destruction was the number we look for when it comes to the tiebreaker.

However, I meant to ask how the total destruction and average destruction are differentiated, and how total destruction is calculated.

Many thanks to everyone who has replied in this thread. Good to know how it works. (special thanks to daz, your answer is exactly what i was looking for)

As a side note, the total destruction numbers did end up being the same as average destruction in our war, just like biggolf said. But now it all makes sense, that was because we attacked every base. If we left one base out, the total destruction would then be different (lower) than the average destruction.

You should read the thread before asking.

No, they are not calculated the same way, although they can end up being the same.

Total destruction counts every base on the map, at all times, period.

Average destruction only counts the bases you have attacked so far.

If you skip attacking a base, the total destruction will be lower than the average destruction.
