Friendly Challenges

[Ask97]

I keep getting mixed understanding of how friendly challenges work. So a few questions:

1. Do the current active blessings impact the troop attack?

2. If you have an offensive coalition it shows in the report but I am not sure if it impacts as my decoy is a normal one without any boost. So does it? What about defensive coalition?

3. The Stronghold behaviour is wrong in challenges. Are there any other such buildings with different behaviours?

1. Yes.

2. No, Coalition aren't relevant in Friendly Challenges.

3. You can bring Event troops to Friendly Challenges and SH troops.

On #2: If you watch the FC replay it shows the active coalitions on the top-left. Is that a ‘replay’ bug then? Earlier before the last 6.5 update it was not there and now it is showing. Hence wanted to check if they have made changes.

On #3: What I meant to ask (sorry) was the SH behaviour in War and in FC are different in terms of when the troops come out. In war they get triggered on proximity while as in FC they get activated only on destruction. So any other such known deviant behaviour?

You cannot fill up Strongholds when not in War, so in friendly challenges SH are empty.

After the new update I'm not too sure if you can use Coalitions in friendly challenges.

This is on point #2 in my first post.

I just saw a friendly challenge replay on my base. Also We are about to complete the planning day of a (easy) war where I have taken 2 level 7 defensive coalitions. My base was able to weather a 4 EAs Attack from a seasoned attacker.

I am telling you.... without the coalition effect he would have steamrolled my recent CWA base. In the replay I can see my defensive coalitions on the right near top corner. I think FCs now are definitely affected by coalitions unlike earlier. The base even during friendly challenges becomes much stronger for sure based on coalitions.

Pls try this... once you are in a war then on planning day take either offensive or defensive coalitions. Put out a friendly challenge and attack your base. Now see the replay and you will:
1. See the appropriate coalitions (offensive on left and defensive on right)
2. You will see the effects on troops and buildings as they will take the attributes of coalitions
3. You will not see the coalitions army (for deployment or defence) though like in a war

Please help me validate. The only thing that makes me doubt my theory is the effect of rebalance 2....
