Key Takeaways
🎯 Forget Using All Attacks: You don’t need all 300 attacks. Focus on quality over quantity.
🎯 5,000+ Gold Per Attack: Earn ~5,000 Clan Capital Gold per attack to hit the 1,620 Raid Medal cap.
🎯 2 Attacks per District, 3 for Capital Peak: Optimize troop combos to clear districts efficiently.
🎯 Bonus Gold Matters: Preserve troop health in the second attack for extra gold.
Understanding Raid Medal Mechanics
Raid Medals are calculated based on Clan Capital Gold earned per attack. For example: If your clan earns 445,000 Clan Capital Gold using 83 attacks, 445,000 ÷ 83 ≈ 5,361 gold/attack This exceeds the 5,000 threshold, guaranteeing the 1,620 Raid Medal cap.
