Troop Positions - Official Clarification

There is often some confusion about when the troop positions should be activated - during a raid, or at the end of a raid when the final trophies are announced.

Ricky H. (player and BC Global admin) has confirmed how these positions function on a post in BC Global.

During Exodawn and Sanctiflyer only, activate leader and vice at the very end of a raid so that the bonuses are running when the final trophies are announced. This will give your players the bonuses on all of their hits during that raid.  (The other positions need to be activated during the raid itself and their benefits only last for 15 minutes at a time).

During all other events, all positions are only applied to hits made during the 15 minutes that the bonuses are active.  (Do not wait to activate leader/vice at the end of the raid or your troop will miss the opportunity to make the most of the bonuses).

Special thank you to Ricky for his confirmation, and to Jenn W. for having taken the time to prove this (by recording and adding up all hits during a raid to mathematically check!).

  1. What's the point of support and defense leader abilities since damage isn't done to us during event? When would you activate those?

    1. During the current event (CS), the guardians don't attack back, so you're right that there is no benefit to activating these bonuses, or even having players in those positions. Likewise in Dominion, the Towers also don't attack back, so those two positions are obsolete.

      In all other events they'll have some benefit.

  3. I have a question that doesn't appear on your blog, how do I level up a trof leader?
