Yes, co-leaders in Clash of Clans can start the Clan War League (CWL). Along with the Clan Leader, co-leaders possess the authority to initiate the CWL sign-up process, manage the roster, and make crucial decisions regarding participation. This collaborative leadership structure ensures that the clan can effectively organize and compete in the CWL.
Understanding the Role of Co-Leaders in CWL
The co-leader role in Clash of Clans is designed to provide support and assistance to the Clan Leader. This includes the responsibility of managing the clan, making important decisions, and ensuring the smooth operation of all clan activities. In the context of CWL, co-leaders share the power to not only start the league but also to manage the roster and distribute bonus medals.
Key Responsibilities
Here’s a breakdown of the key responsibilities that co-leaders can handle in CWL:
- Starting the CWL: Co-leaders can initiate the sign-up process during the designated period at the beginning of each month.
- Managing the Roster: They can help select the 15 or 30 members who will participate in the wars, depending on the clan’s chosen war size.
- Distributing Bonus Medals: Co-leaders, along with the Clan Leader, can award bonus medals to outstanding performers in the CWL.
This shared authority makes the clan more adaptable and responsive, especially when the Clan Leader is unavailable. It’s essential that co-leaders are trusted and knowledgeable players who understand the clan’s strategies and goals.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about CWL
Here are 15 frequently asked questions to further clarify various aspects of the Clan War League.
1. How many members do I need to start CWL?
To participate in CWL, your clan needs at least 15 members for the 15v15 format or up to 50 members to maximize options for selecting participants. It’s always a good idea to have more than the minimum to allow for flexibility in choosing attackers for each war day.
2. Can anyone participate in CWL?
By default, all Clan members are included in the CWL roster. The leader or co-leaders then select the specific 15 or 30 members who will participate in each war day. Members not on the roster won’t be able to participate in that CWL season.
3. What happens if I join CWL late?
If you join a clan after the CWL has started, you will be added to the roster but will only be eligible to participate in subsequent wars, assuming the leader or co-leader includes you in the war roster.
4. Do I get CWL medals if I don’t participate in any wars?
Yes, even if you don’t participate in any wars during the CWL week, you’re entitled to at least 20% of the League Medals that your clan has won, provided you are in the CWL roster.
5. How are CWL matches determined?
Clans in CWL are matched based on their League. Matchmaking does not consider Town Hall levels, troop levels, hero levels, or defense building levels. This ensures fair competition among clans of similar skill.
6. Can I switch between CWL participants during the week?
Yes, you can change participants between war days. Only those included on the roster can participate in the CWL that season. Be strategic in choosing the best attackers for each opponent clan.
7. How do I earn bonus medals in CWL?
Bonus League Medals are given out by the Clan Leader and co-leaders at the end of the CWL season. These are usually awarded to top performers, loyal members, or those who contribute significantly to the clan’s success.
8. What war sizes are available in CWL?
Clans can choose between two war sizes: 15v15 and 30v30. However, in the Champion League, only the 15v15 format is available.
9. Can I participate in CWL in two different clans?
No, you can only participate in CWL with one clan at a time. Once you are on the roster for a clan’s CWL, you are locked in for that season. However, you can participate in regular Clan Wars or Friendly Wars with another clan.
10. What happens if my clan gets 100% destruction in CWL?
If both clans achieve 100% destruction and the same number of stars, the war ends in a draw. The concept of total destruction aims to minimize ties, but a draw is still possible if both clans perform perfectly.
11. What should I spend my CWL medals on?
It’s generally recommended to spend your CWL medals on valuable items like Training Potions, Builder Potions, and Research Potions. From Town Hall 8 onwards, consider spending them on Hammers to expedite long upgrade times.
12. What happens if I leave a clan after attacking in CWL?
If you leave a clan after attacking during a CWL war, your war base will remain visible on the war map and can still be attacked by the opponent. Leaving the clan will not affect the ongoing war, and you will still receive the war win bonus if your clan wins.
13. Why am I not eligible for CWL?
The message “not eligible” during CWL sign-up typically indicates that:
- You are already participating in another clan’s CWL.
- Your clan has received a War cooldown.
14. How long does CWL last?
The CWL sign-up period typically starts on the 1st of each month at 08:00 UTC and lasts for 2 days. Once signed up, there’s a preparation day followed by 7 war days.
15. Can co-leaders change the clan name in Clash of Clans?
No, only the leader of the clan has the ability to change the clan name in Clash of Clans.
Conclusion
Co-leaders play a crucial role in the success of a Clash of Clans clan, especially during Clan War Leagues. Their ability to start CWL, manage the roster, and distribute bonus medals allows for efficient leadership and teamwork. Understanding these dynamics can significantly improve your clan’s performance and overall enjoyment of the game. Remember that strategic decision-making and effective communication are key to maximizing the benefits of having co-leaders actively involved in CWL.
