They treat every single match as a high-stakes duel, resulting in massive ladder anxiety and a fear of experimenting with new strategies.

Friendly Battles, conducted within your clan, offer a completely stress-free, consequence-free environment to test your skills.

The Safe Zone for Experimentation

In a Friendly Battle, you can experiment with completely ridiculous card combinations just to see how the unique mechanics interact in a live setting.

Furthermore, Friendly Battles automatically scale all cards to ‘Tournament Standard’ levels.

• Learn exactly what health a tower must be at for your Rocket to finish it.
• If you lose to a specific card on the ladder, ask a clanmate to play that card against you repeatedly until you figure out the counter.
• Host mini-tournaments within your guild just for bragging rights.

Drilling Micro-Interactions

If you try to learn this timing on the live ladder, you will lose a tower every time you fail.

In a Friendly Battle, you can ask your clanmate to send a Bandit down the lane ten times in a row.

The Social Benefit

When a veteran player spends an hour sparring with a new recruit to help them improve, it creates a deeply loyal clan culture.

Throw down a friendly challenge in the clan chat, try something completely crazy, and enjoy the game for what it is.
