The addition of Clan XP and Clan Perks took place in the February 2015 update, bringing exciting new features to Clash of Clans. Engaging in Clan Wars enables your clan to earn experience, which can be utilized to unlock valuable perks for your clan members. One such perk is the ability to grant additional storage to the Treasury. Attaining reward tiers in clan battles also contributes to clan XP. As your clan accumulates enough XP, it will level up, unlocking permanent Clan Perks that enhance various aspects of the clan. The clan’s level can be observed on the clan badge, while the unlocked benefits can be accessed by selecting the “Clan Benefits” button. It’s important to note that Clan Perks only apply to members of clans that have unlocked them and do not extend to players without a clan or those in a clan that has yet to unlock them.
ACHIEVING CLAN XP
There are two primary methods to earn Clan XP, the first being through Clan Wars:
- Destroying an enemy base in Clan Wars (achieving at least 1 star) grants 1 to 12 additional Clan XP, based on the strength of the target. The tougher the base, the higher the XP reward. It’s important to note that attacking a previously defeated target and emerging victorious will not yield additional Clan XP;
- Securing 40% of all possible stars awards 10 Clan XP;
- Achieving 60% of all possible stars grants an additional 25 Clan XP (totaling 35 XP);
- Emerging as the victor in a war provides +50 Clan XP. For instance, the aftermath of a 35v35 war (previously available, now limited to friendly wars along with 45v45) with all bases defeated and a final score of 104-90 is displayed above.
Note: If a clan opts for a 5 vs 5 war at maximum capacity, the clan can earn up to 145 XP. The image above depicts a 35 vs 35 war, where the old XP rule allows for 200 possible XP. As the XP earned from scoring stars and winning a war is independent of size, larger wars generally offer higher Clan XP per war. Therefore, if your Clan aims to level up swiftly, engaging in 50v50 wars for maximum XP gain is recommended (earning a maximum of 685 XP per won war).
The second method is by reaching reward levels in Clan Games. Each accomplished reward level grants Clan XP, with the amount varying from game to game.
MAXIMUM CLAN XP PER TOWN HALL LEVEL
The following table illustrates the maximum Clan XP attainable for each Town Hall level during Wars, earned in full when at least one star is acquired on the corresponding base. These values are typically achieved when the base is fully upgraded for its respective Town Hall level (with the exception of TH6 and below). For instance, a fully upgraded TH9 would be worth 5 Clan XP, while other TH9 bases that are not entirely upgraded (even if only one hero level remains unfinished) would typically be worth 4 Clan XP.
WAR SIZE AND AVAILABLE CLAN WAR XP
Please note that the following table assumes that all enemy bases are fully upgraded. The XP values are determined based on the Town Hall level and Defense level in the matchmaking process.
| War Size | Defeat all war / build bases | 40% star rating possible / accumulated | Score 60% of possible stars / accumulation | Win the war / cumulative |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Vs. 5 5 | +60 XP | +10/70 XP | +25/95 XP | +50/145 XP |
| Vs. 10 10 | +120 XP | +10/130 XP | +25/155 XP | +50/205 XP |
| Vs. 15 15 | +180 XP | +10/190 XP | +25/210 XP | +50/265 XP |
| Vs. 20 20 | +240 XP | +10/250 XP | +25/275 XP | +50/325 XP |
| Vs. 25 25 | +300 XP | +10/310 XP | +25/335 XP | +50/385 XP |
| Vs. 30 30 | +360 XP | +10/370 XP | +25/395 XP | +50/445 XP |
| Vs. 40 40 | +480 XP | +10/490 XP | +25/515 XP | +50/565 XP |
| Vs. 50 50 | +600 XP | +10/610 XP | +25/635 XP | +50/685 XP |

Clan benefits
Clan benefits are special power-ups that enhance various aspects of being a member of a clan. There are six types of advantages available:
- Reduced Donation Request Cooldown: This benefit reduces the waiting time for members to request troops. It improves twice, at Clan Level 2 and Clan Level 7, reducing the cooldown by 5 minutes each time;
- Increased Donation Limit: This advantage increases the number of troops and spells that can be donated from one player to another. It improves twice, at Clan Level 4 (raising the troop and spell limit by 1 each) and Clan Level 8 (raising the troop limit by 2 and the spell limit by 1);
- Donation Refund: This benefit allows the donor to receive a refund (a certain percentage of the cost) when donating troops and spells. The refund percentage increases three times: at Clan Levels 3, 6, and 9;
- Donation Upgrade: This proficiency automatically upgrades donated troops, spells, and siege engines. It improves twice, at Clan Levels 5 and 10, increasing the upgrade level by 1 each time. Note that the proficiency will not upgrade donated troops, spells, and siege engines beyond the maximum level allowed in the receiving clan’s castle;
- Extra Storage Treasure: This advantage increases the storage capacity of the Clan members’ Treasure. It improves five times, at Clan Levels 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10, with each upgrade providing an additional 10% storage;

How Clan benefits can be utilized
Clan benefits are primarily utilized to gain an edge over other clans. They play a crucial role in various aspects, such as:
- Swiftly filling Clan Castles: Clan Perks reduce the waiting time for members to receive donated troops, enabling attackers to efficiently plan their attacks;
- Enhancing attack effectiveness: For attackers who rely on donated troops, Clan Perks provide the means to maximize their potential and execute successful attacks;
- Resource optimization in Wars: Clan benefits ensure optimal resource gains during Clan Wars, allowing clans to acquire valuable resources to strengthen their bases and progress in the game;
- Boosting the power of donated troops and spells: Through Clan Perks, the potency of donated troops and spells is elevated, providing a significant advantage during battles;
- Advancing in the game: Clan benefits are particularly valuable for most players as they contribute to overall progress and growth within the game.
In competitive or “war clans,” the Clan Level becomes a crucial factor to consider. A higher Clan Level attracts more members, thereby increasing the clan’s overall strength. Clan leaders should be aware of this and leverage their Clan Level to attract and retain talented members, ensuring the clan’s continued growth and success.
TRIVIA/TRIVIA
Here are some interesting trivia facts about clan XP and perks:

- The “Donated Troop Upgrade” perk is considered the most powerful perk, as it requires a significant amount of additional clan XP to unlock or upgrade compared to other perks;
- When a clan reaches level 10, any troop that is close to its maximum level can be instantly upgraded to the maximum level;
- During special events, such as clan war anniversaries, the clan XP earned can be multiplied by a factor for a limited time, providing an opportunity for faster level progression;
- Clans have the potential to level up beyond level 10, but currently, no new perks are unlocked beyond this point;
- The update on December 10, 2016, introduced a change where the clan XP earned for each warbase depends on the strength of that particular base, adding a new dynamic to clan XP accumulation.
