Clash-of-clans – How to get theself to be attacked

When you are attacked, several things happen:

• You lose resources, depending on how much the attacker "destroys". If the attacker destroys everything, you can lose up to a maximum of 50% of Elixir/Gold in your collectors, 100% of Elixir/Gold in your Town Hall, and 10-20% of Elixir/Gold in your storage containers depending on your Town Hall level. You also lose 75% of Dark Elixir in your collectors, 5-10% of loot in your Clan Castle and 4-6% of Dark Elixir in your storages This is a worst case, and can be significantly less if the opponent is higher level than you, or does not fully succeed in destroying your buildings.
• You lose trophies, depending on how much the attacker "destroys" and also the relative amounts of trophies you and the attacker have. Attackers get 1/3 of potential trophies for each star they receive. Potential trophies are more if the attacker started with less trophies than you, and are fewer if the attacker started with more trophies than you.
• Your buildings are not actually destroyed, even when the opponent "destroys" them. Buildings regenerate after attacks.
• Troops in your Army Camp do not participate. Troops in your Clan's Castle will fight if any enemy troop is deployed in its radius.
• There is a range of who can attack you. However, this is based on the number of trophies you have. This makes it possible for high level players to attack you. These players have just simply purposefully lost a bunch of trophies so they can "pick on" low level players. Bear in mind though that pairing is random, so in order for a higher level attacker to attack, they have to be randomly paired with you. Note this does not apply if you've previously attacked them, since they have a "revenge" option.

You can be attacked at any time where your shield is not active.

If you look at the top of the screen you will see an information label that says "Shield". At any time that this says "None" you can be attacked by other players (excluding times where you are actively playing - i.e. the game is open on your device).

When you first start the game you are given a free shield for several days to give you time to build your defences up. Your shield can later be reactivated:

• At any time for a set fee of gems (1 day, 2 day and 1 week options)
• If you are attacked by another player and lose 40% of buildings or town hall the shield is reactivated for 12 hours (war attacks do not count)
• If you are attacked by another player and lose 90% of buildings the shield is reactivated for 16 hours (war attacks do not count)

Attacking another player in multiplayer disables any shield you have.

You can also never be attacked whilst you have the app open.
