What Counts as Alliance War Participation?

I’m going to actually participate in an alliance for the first time since Uncollected and am wondering what counts as Participation in Wars?

Must I put defenders and Attack? Just one? I only put defenders in the last war and didn’t attack but still got Alliance War Victory Mail Rewards so I’m unsure

Thank You

this is the 10th war i believe. and if you dont put defenders, they'll be put randomly when the placement phase expires. i dont think you can enter with 0 defenders, so that isnt a possibility. although you can just skip placement phase, enter attack phase, do nothing, and it still counts as participation.

Oh, it is possible. We fought enemies with less Defenders or even no Defenders a few times (especially between Seasons when some are downranking). Kinda a free Win.

Participation … is any participation. Placing Defense counts, only jumping in for attack or doing both counts, too.

So you want to "participate in an alliance" but don't want to put defenders or put minimal effort.. ok !

Does placement occur randomly if you don't place defender? I think they don't get placed at all.

OP. I think either place defense or join attack. If there are not enough members, I think you can join attack without placing defense. Either one counts as participation.

I think the word you are looking for is leaching

Leeching.

So Dr Zola has two accounts!? Been using mixed, and he forgot which account he was posting from and added his sign in it!?

Wow, you’re that guy, huh?

@SpideyFunko and @xLunatiXx

I’m not “that guy” lol

I have a lot of responsibilities lately and am asking if I can still get rewards if I’m too busy to place defenders or too busy to attack. I’m fine placing defenders quite frankly I like it because I get to see innocent souls fail against them but sometimes IRL problems arise that make me not able to play when I need to.

You already answered your own question in your opening statement (placed defenders, but didn’t join attack, and still got War Rewards). So it obviously counted.
Same with joining in attack even if you skipped defense (so long as there is still an attacker spot open for 1 or 2 BG war alliances). Even if you join attack, but never move at all, still counts as participation for rewards (at least, until your alliance kicks you out).

Regarding other comments about “placing defenders”…

First, pretty sure you have to choose at least 1 defender (doesn’t have to be 5) in order to join in on defense. For someone seeing a whole map without any defenders on opposing team, they didn’t have anyone who actually joined on defense at all (it's not like they had ppl join on defense but had 0 defenders). Even though you may see some ppl on as attackers for their alliance doesn’t mean they didn’t just skip the defense placement phase.

And, the auto-placement of remaining defenders is only for those who did join on defense but never dragged their defenders onto the actual map anywhere (or placed some, but not all, 5 of their defenders onto the map). Any defender champ that has been committed, but was never moved onto a node, will get automatically placed on a node upon the Attack Phase starting. The game doesn’t actually go dig into your roster and just pull additional champs (if you initially chose less than 5), if you only brought 2 when joining on defense then that's how many of yours will be on the map when attack starts.

Wow. You actually ARE that guy @Hoitado. You wanna leech off rewards while doing the bare minimum to help. Most of everybody in an ally has an outside life, but makes time to actually help. You do you though man, I can see why you didn’t join one before 🤷‍♂️

@BirthOfTheCool You didn’t read anything that I said did you? My alliance only has 2 Battlegroups and 20 people who participate in them. I am one of those 20 and because of responsibilities lately I haven’t been able to help my ally as much as I want to. I joined for rewards but I still want to help my alliance in any way possible so that we can maximize what we get. I asked a simple question and you just twisted my words

Now it does. It was changed few seasons ago.

If you don't want to anger your Alliance mates, place solid defenders and then also attack. Doing 1 without the other, is quite annoying in my view.

In order of preference:
1. Place defenders and contribute on attack by actually helping explore
2. Either place defenders/contribute in attack phase(if you for some reason cannot do option 1)
3. Don’t place defenders and join attack and either don’t move/join attack after map is fully explored.
Option 3 is least preferred and you may be at risk of getting kicked if you do it more than once.

LeNoirFaineant

If fewer than 10 people place defenders in a battle group you can join in the attack phase even if you didn't place. This counts as participation. You will also have participated if you place but don't attack.

.... Is this post serious?...

Try both depending on how large your roster is.

Doesn't really take much time/effort to place defenders and do a few fights in attack. Doing the bare minimum to get rewards is a bit of a **** move.

You can directly join attack phase and skip Defence but the alliance will gladly give you a golden boot for doing so

4. Why be in an alliance? Just play without one.
