Grab your clan, assemble a team of your very best, and prepare yourselves for the ultimate showdown of true skill.

In the past with the Round War system, finding a suitable balance between fair matches and no matches was difficult. When we tightened the range between clans we saw many many more no matches, meaning those wanting to war were not able to, and when we loosened this range the quality of matches suffered. In addition to this, there were issues with the balance between different builds in wars, leading to players moving to a specific build to gain an unfair advantage in wars.

We've tried a few different solutions so far, but nothing has worked quite as well as we would have liked. Having investigated the situation further, we've come to the conclusion that almost all of the issues with Round Wars are in part due to the imbalances caused by players stacking builds through the use of Ally and Equipment bonuses. Because of this we're going to be testing out a new type of war where BFA and BFE are not a part of the equation.

For these wars, everyone has equal footing and the outcome is dependant upon the skill of you and your clan members alone. No ally bonuses; no equipment stat bonuses; just you, your clan, and an intense battle ahead of you.

It's time to show what you and your clan are really made of!

War DetailsDuration: 60 Minutes
Type; Advantage
KO: 7-13 Minutes
Roster Size: 20
Hit Restrictions: OFF
BFA: OFF
BFE: OFF
Ally Hire*: WAR ONLY

*Ally Hire refers to who you are able to purchase allies from, as well as who may purchase your allies. When this is War Only, players outside of the war cannot hire allies owned by those participating in the war, and players participating in the war cannot hire allies owned by those outside of the war. (This will take effect as soon as the War Countdown begins)

Note: Only bonuses from Equipment and Allies (stats + plunder) are not included. Bonuses from Banners, Spells, Pro-packs, as well as Personal and Clan Achievements are still taken into consideration.

While stat bonuses from equipment and allies will be displayed on your profile during these wars, this is only visual, and won't be taken into consideration during the actual war.

PS: While BFE and BFA are not taken into account during this particular type of war both are still extremely useful in Individual Wars, as well as EB's and old-fashioned OSW's.
 
I like this. It seems to make the SH build worse. SH's stacked with BFA/BFE has the same value as a noob.



.... I think?
 
So your saying those that work so hard for their bfa just wasted their time? Really? Why not just make bfa included in how much u get in a hit. So a sh with big bfa pays as well as a big
 
It's just a few wars Onesy. They aren't taking your BFA or BFE away permanently. Besides, these are just for testing. And I think it's a good idea.

So warring for equipment, then you can't use it ? Lol

This is a new type of war, and we're aware that in a sort of season system it would be odd for it to reward equipment. That said, equipment and allies still have their use outside of this single type of war :)
 
I like this.


Warring without these insane and exploitable bonuses like BFE and BFA is a good step forward when trying to eradicate stacked/exploited rosters (sh plus LB).
