Can You Play Clan Games in Two Clans? The Definitive Guide
The short answer is a resounding no. You cannot participate in Clan Games in two different clans within the popular mobile strategy game, Clash of Clans. Once you start playing in one clan’s Clan Games, you’re locked in for that event. This guide will delve into the specifics, explaining why this limitation exists and providing crucial information about Clan Games participation and rewards.
Understanding Clan Games and Participation
Clan Games are a monthly in-game event where clan members collaborate to complete challenges, earning points and unlocking valuable rewards for the entire clan. These rewards can include Magic Items, resources, and other helpful boosts. It’s a core aspect of clan activity, encouraging teamwork and strategic gameplay. However, the mechanics of Clan Games are designed to prevent exploitation by hopping between clans to maximize rewards.
Why the Restriction?
The restriction on participating in multiple clans during Clan Games is primarily to prevent abuse of the system. Without this restriction, players could join multiple clans, complete easy challenges in each, and collect a disproportionate number of rewards. This would undermine the spirit of teamwork and fair play that Clan Games are intended to foster.
How the System Works
Once a Clan Games event begins, you can join a clan and immediately start completing challenges. However, once you undertake a challenge within a specific clan, you are essentially “locked in” to that clan for the duration of the event. If you leave that clan, you cannot participate in another clan’s Clan Games.
What Happens If You Leave Your Clan During Clan Games?
If you leave your clan after starting Clan Games, you cannot earn points for a new clan within the same event. However, the good news is that you can still collect rewards from the clan where you participated, provided you completed at least one challenge before leaving. So even if your clan managed to unlock all the rewards, you get to claim them, as long as you have contributed to earning points.
Claiming Rewards After Leaving a Clan
The important thing is that even if you leave the clan you contributed to, you’ll still get to claim any rewards that clan has unlocked, as long as you completed at least one challenge before leaving. Also, the rewards are kept for only 7 days, so do not forget to claim them, or they will disappear.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Clan Games
Here are some frequently asked questions related to Clan Games and clan participation:
1. Can I collect Clan Games rewards if I’m kicked out of the clan?
Yes, even if you are kicked out of the clan after contributing to the Clan Games, you can still collect the rewards, provided the clan unlocked them and you completed at least one challenge.
2. Can I join Clan Games halfway through the event?
Yes, you can join Clan Games even if it’s already in progress. However, you must be at least Town Hall 6 to participate.
3. What Town Hall level do I need to be to participate in Clan Games?
You must be Town Hall 6 or higher to participate in Clan Games.
4. What happens if I forget to collect my Clan Games rewards?
Rewards are kept for 7 days after the event ends. After that, any uncollected rewards disappear.
5. How often do Clan Games occur?
Clan Games are a monthly event, typically running from the 22nd to the 28th of each month.
6. Can I play in Clan War Leagues (CWL) and Clan Games simultaneously?
Yes, you can participate in both CWL and Clan Games. CWL participation locks you into a specific clan for the duration of the CWL season, but it doesn’t affect your ability to participate in Clan Games within that clan.
7. Do Clan Games rewards stack?
You can only store a limited number of each Magic Item. If you are already at the limit for a particular item (e.g., a Book of Building), you won’t be able to claim another one until you use the existing item.
8. Do clan castle troops count for Clan Games challenges?
Yes, clan castle troops do count towards Clan Games challenges that require using specific troops.
9. I left my clan before the Clan Games ended. Can I still claim my rewards?
Yes, if you completed at least one challenge before leaving, you can still claim the rewards from the clan where you participated.
10. What happens if I join a new clan during Clan Games?
If you have already chosen a challenge in another clan, joining a new clan will not allow you to participate in their Clan Games. You are tied to the first clan.
11. If I leave and rejoin the same clan during Clan Games, will it affect my participation?
Leaving and rejoining the same clan should not affect your participation, as long as you had already started playing in the Clan Games before leaving.
12. Can I use multiple accounts in the same clan to maximize Clan Games rewards?
While technically possible, Supercell discourages having multiple accounts in the same clan, and it could be seen as a violation of their fair play policy.
13. If my clan doesn’t reach all reward tiers, do I still get rewards?
Yes, you will receive rewards based on the tiers that your clan has unlocked, regardless of whether they reached the final tier. However, that reward is only available if you completed at least one challenge.
14. Are Clan Games rewards based on my Town Hall level?
The available rewards are the same for all clan members, regardless of their Town Hall level. The number of points needed to achieve reward tiers remains the same.
15. What are some good strategies for maximizing my contribution to Clan Games?
Choose challenges that align with your play style and troop levels. Communicate with your clanmates to coordinate challenge selection and avoid duplication. Focus on completing challenges efficiently to earn more points in less time.
Clan Games are a vital part of the Clash of Clans experience, and understanding the rules and limitations is crucial for effective participation. Remember, teamwork and collaboration are key to unlocking the best rewards!
