BENEFITS OF EQUIPPING A CHAMPION
- When a city has a Champion assigned to it, he will defend from attacks! Defending troops will become stronger when fighting along side a Champion.
- If your opponent attacks your city with a Champion, that Champion will first have to deal with yours. A Champion that is on a march cannot have it's stats changed while it is marching.
- If your opponent attacks you with their Champion, that Champion will not be at their city and will make the city more vulnerable to an attack from your Alliance!
- When you send your Champion on an attack and it is victorious, that attack is stronger than it would have been without a Champion!
- Using multiple Champions from different cities gives you new ways to vary your attack strategies. You can send an attack to the city of the attacker whose champion is marching leaving his city vulnerable to attack without a champion defending it, work with your Alliance to attack a powerful opponent with many Champions, and more!
Strategy/ Facts and issues on Champion
- Defenders are now slightly stronger vs many waves of attacks because their Champion will always fight. There is no cool down on Champions between battles.
- Attackers now have new ways of attacking, manipulating information and controlling the pace of the battle when sending out their marches.
- Making big attacks are now a bigger risk as you now remove a big defense from your city.
- Champions stats do not have a cap. Instead, they can be reduced by the results of the Champion duel. Think ahead when you choose your equipment – go for too many troop stats and you’ll find your champion may not be able to win the Champion duel anymore.
- Throne Room bonuses stack with Champion bonuses. Champions buff base troop stats before Throne Room bonuses are applied.
- Assigning a Champion to a City will NOT set that city's troops to defend. Though it is true, the assigned Champion will always duel an incoming attackers Champion, this does not automatically cause your troops to defend. Even hidden, defending against an enemy Champion with your Champion affects the bonuses that the attackers Champion gives to it's troops.
