1. During the Preparation Phase, each clan member may place defense units in various fortifications within the clan. Heroes placed in defense cannot be used in the Battle Phase!

2. Each clan member can only place defense units in three different fortifications within the clan. You can occupy the Castle, a Crystal and a Gate or Outpost. You cannot occupy both a Gate and an Outpost, they are the same type of units. Each fortification may have its own conditions for setting up defense units.

3. In each fortification, a clan member may occupy any available Section. Once a player occupies a Section, he has it assigned to him, and now only he can place defensive units in that Section. The clan leader and officers may forcibly vacate any Section from the assigned defense units in Gates, Outposts, and Crystals and make it available to all clan members again. In Castle the clan leader and officers may only move the units up and down.

4. Once the Preparation Phase is complete, all unoccupied Sections will be forcibly filled with Guards, pre-set units with average characteristics. The strength of Guards is the same for all Clans. It is important to remember that defensive units not only prevent the enemy from gaining points, but also bring points to the clan itself if the attack is successfully repelled.

5. After the end of the Preparation Phase, any enhancements to the defense heroes will not be applied to them (Hero Level, Equipment, Stars, etc.) Any enhancements applied to the squad heroes will only take effect in the next Preparation Phase.

6. If a member leaves the clan during a battle, their deployed units will continue to defend the fortifications in the clan territory until the next Preparation Phase.

7. To change the defense team in the Battle Phase is not possible.
