Champions stuck in a AW that is already over.

I have 6 champions that are stuck in AW, even though this war have already bem finished in December 2023. I just want my champions back, so i could use them in a new Alliance...

Persistent Defense means any defenders you placed are in CONSTANT commitment in AW, even during off-day on Wednesdays, even after AW bosses are beaten, etc.
And even if you never joined your Attack for your alliance ever since then.
You can go back into AW Defense setup and LEAVE that Defense BG.
That will release your defenders.
(Same can be done by clicking JOIN to a different BG for defense (but then just don't actually proceed with fully joining into that new BG defense), that leaves your prior BG as well.
Have to do that BEFORE you leave the alliance as a whole.
