Clan Battles

Revision as of 11:22, 18 October 2017

Available to players of Account Level 15 and higher, Clan Battles offer players the opportunity to team up with their clan mate and face off against teams from other clans in epic sea battles. Ascending to the Typhoon league and playing enough games there will reward players with a commemorative flag, and if they are able to repeat the feat across several seasons, they can earn unique reward ships!

The Clan Battle configuration of "Mountain Range".

Game Format

Season 1 of Clan Battles became active with Update 0.6.12. For the inaugural season, teams for Clan Battles must be formed under the following restrictions:

• Seven players group up and enter the queue simultaneously; all must be from the same clan.
• Only Tier X ships may be used.
• Only one (1) battleship is allowed.
• No aircraft carriers are allowed.
• There are no restrictions on the quantity of destroyers and cruisers a team may take.
• Players may only queue for Clan Battles between the hours of 20:00 - 23:00 Eastern Time (17:00 - 20:00 Pacific Time) on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

Maps

Only four maps are available for Season 1 of Clan Battles:

• "Islands of Ice"
• "Mountain Range"
• "Hotspot"
• "Sea of Fortune"

Each map appears in a domination point configuration unique to Clan Battles, requiring teams to develop new tactics.

Victory leads to progression through the various leagues.

Rental Ships

Players without a Tier X ship that wish to participate in Clan Battles will have access to a limited pool of rental ships. Each group of available ships includes one destroyer, one cruiser, and one battleship; the available ships will rotate approximately every three weeks until the release of Update 0.6.15 and the conclusion of Season 1.

Ships available during Update 0.6.12 are:

• Destroyer Shimakaze
• Cruiser Zao
• Battleship Großer Kurfürst

Ships available during Update 0.6.13 will be:

• Destroyer Grozovoi
• Cruiser Hindenburg
• Battleship Montana

Ships available during Update 0.6.14 will be:

• Destroyer Gearing
• Cruiser Moskva
• Battleship Yamato

Rental ships operate under the following rules:

• Players receive these ships temporarily, and the ships are removed when Season 1 of Clan Battles ends.
• They can only be used in Clan Battles.
• Rental ships cannot mount camouflage.
• Commanders may be re-assigned to rental ships without penalty.
• Rental ships generate the same amount of credits, experience, Free XP, and Commander XP as ordinary ships.
• When rental ships are removed: their Commanders are automatically sent to the Reserve; any upgrades, consumables, and signals are moved to the Inventory; experience earned with a rented ship is transferred to the starting ship of the respective nation.
• If the ships have alternative modules — such as Shimakaze’s torpedoes — they can be mounted at no cost.

Leagues

Clans that participate in Clan Battles will vie for ranking on a tiered leaderboard that spans four leagues. The leagues are:

Logo	League Name
	Typhoon
	Storm
	Gale
	Squall

Each League has three Groups, each Group requiring 100 points to ascend to the next. All points beyond that 100 roll over into the next Group/League. All Clans start in Squall League, Group II. A Clan gains or loses points in each Clan Battle depending on the outcome:

• Victory: Average of +25 points.
• Defeat: Average of -25 points.
• Draw: 0 to -3 points.

Once they've climbed through every group in the League, a Clan must fight through a series of five Progression Battles and win at least three of them. A victory sends the Clan to the next League with a 35-point bonus, while a defeat keeps the Clan in the same league with a 35-point loss. If a Clan doesn't fight the Progression Battles, they don't advance!

Alternatively, if a Clan loses enough points to fall to the bottom of their current League, they must win three out of five Relegation Battles to keep from getting kicked down to the league below with a 35-point penalty. However, they get a 35-point bonus if they succeed. Once a Clan hits zero points in Squall League, Group III, they've hit rock bottom and won't lose any additional points.
