Clash for the Throne (CoT) is the major PvP event in Total Battle. Missteps cost real troops and resources.

CoT runs on a 12-day cycle.

How Clash for the Throne works

You score by earning Conquest points, so plan every move around what actually feeds that total. The catch comes at the finish: land in the top 100 and you lose your Shield of Peace, which leaves your city attackable. Decide early whether you are climbing for a top placement or staying safely below the cutoff. For how CoT sits alongside the rest of the schedule, see Events and Boosts.

Play SMART

S: Shield. Or do all of the rest. Shielded means immune.
M: March troops to fort when offline. A city without troops can’t lose them.
A: Active portals only. Close portals when done; open portals are attack vectors.
R: Resources below warehouse protection. Anything over cap is raidable.
T: Taxes out. Send gold ingots to capital instead of sitting on them.

Captain setup

Pair the right captains with the troops each stack leans on.

Defense: Leonidas + Cleopatra / Aydae. Specialists (Swordsmen) are your PvP core with 2× attack vs. players.
Offense: Type-matched (Minamoto/Alexander/Wu Zetian) + Cleopatra or Aydae. Add Griffins.

Hero options

Ayrin removes march limits.
Alrick delays incoming attacks.

Organized group attacks

For clan-coordinated attacks, the CP Run Calculator sizes every participant stack to the same base HP cap and scales the tank’s troops so one of its stacks absorbs one participant stack. Lower caps spread losses over more stacks; higher caps concentrate them.

After the run, the tank counts losses and the participants chip in. Use the Compensation Calculator to convert the lost troops into the silver each participant owes, scaled by the tank’s Guard tier.
