Clash-of-clans – When will I get attacked in Clash of Clans

clash-of-clans

I just started playing clash of clans. Aside from the first attack by goblins in the tutorial I haven't been attacked. When do I need to worry about my defenses? Right now I'm content to just farm away and build up. If I never use the attack function will I also never get attacked?

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.
