Clan alliances link two clans. Allied clans share an ally chat, cannot damage each other unless both players choose to, and never gain or lose clan points from killing one another. Alliances are mutual: when one clan ends it, it ends for both.
Forming an alliance#
Co-Leaders and Leaders handle alliances with the /clan ally commands. The <clan> argument is always the other clan's name.
| Step | Command | Who runs it | What happens |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ask | /clan ally request <clan> | The clan that wants the alliance | Both clans are told. The target clan sees "{clan} has invited you to an alliance." |
| Accept | /clan ally accept <clan> | The clan that was asked, naming the clan that asked | Both clans see "You are now allies with {clan}." |
| Decline | /clan ally reject <clan> | The clan that was asked | The asking clan sees "{clan} has rejected your alliance request." |
| Withdraw | /clan ally cancel <clan> | The clan that asked | The request is removed: "The alliance request to {clan} has been cancelled." |
| End | /clan ally remove <clan> | Either allied clan | Both clans are told the alliance is over. |
An alliance request lasts 5 minutes. If nobody answers, both clans see "Your alliance invite to {clan} has expired." or "Your alliance invite from {clan} has expired."
Errors you may see#
| Message | Cause |
|---|---|
| You are already allies. | The two clans are already allied, or you named your own clan. |
| This clan already has an alliance invite. | A request between these clans is still open. |
| This clan doesn't have an alliance invite. | There is nothing to accept, reject or cancel, or the request expired. |
| You have reached the alliance limit. | A clan is at its Ally Limit. |
| You are not allies. | You tried to remove an alliance that does not exist. |
| That clan could not be found. | The clan name is wrong or the clan was disbanded. |
Ally limit#
Each clan has an Ally Limit that comes from the ranks of its members, in the same way as the member and warp limits. A clan whose limit is 0 cannot send alliance requests. /clan info and the Clan Information item in the /clan menu show your limit. See Clan Roles and Permissions.
What allies get#
| Benefit | Details |
|---|---|
| Ally chat | Messages sent with /clan ally chat <message> or the ! prefix reach your clan and all allied clans. See Clan Chat. |
| Protected from friendly damage | Direct hits between allied players are cancelled unless both players have friendly fire turned on. See Clan Menu and Friendly Fire. |
| No points from allied kills | If you kill a member of an allied clan, your clan gains no points and the victim's clan loses none. See Clan Leaderboard and Points. |
Allies do not share clan warps, a member list or a leaderboard position, and each clan competes on its own in the Siege event.
