⚠ That needs 30 attacks on one day, more than 2 sessions of about 4 attacks each. Start earlier or add a session.

What inactivity costs

Did not sign up
You are not in this tournament, so there are no attacks to use and no result for this round. wiki / update notes (S7, S4)

Signed up, did not attack
You still defend and are ranked with the rest of your group, so unused attacks usually push you toward the demotion places. community explainer (S6)

Rule: four weeks without signing up are allowed before the first demotion (S4, S6, read 15 Oct 2026). After that you drop one Ranked League for every further four weeks of inactivity, down to your Town Hall floor; four more weeks there and you become unranked. Community posts that quote other numbers predate the April 2026 change.

Legend IIweekly · 30 battlesofficial · S4

Legend I4 weeks · 8 per dayofficial · S5

Entering Legend no longer means the old daily-only league. Legend III and II are weekly; only Legend I runs daily League Days inside a four-week tournament. Everyone who signs up for Legend I starts with 5,000 trophies and a single attack or defense moves at most 40 trophies (S5).

Best move vs safe move

Best move nowAttack: 30 left. Based on the official reset and your entered attacks.

Safe for a new playerUse attacks well before the reset, and change your layout only once per League Day so you know which base is defending.

Legend II is a weekly tournament with 30 attacks. Rank in your group decides promotion or demotion at the end of the week. Layout changes made after the lock apply to the next League Day.

Where sources disagree

Inactivity grace periodsame

Official: Four weeks without signing up before the first demotion, then one league per extra four weeks down to the Town Hall floor (S4, S6).Community: Older posts quote one week; that was the rule before April 2026.

When the defense snapshot is takensame

Official: Weekly tiers: you are placed into your league group on Monday (S6). Legend I: Supercell's 2019 FAQ says a snapshot of every village is taken and you are given 8 villages at the start of each League Day (read 15 Oct 2026, faq-legend-league-redesign).Community: Wiki: a snapshot of the chosen layout is taken at the start of each League Day (S7). Both agree for Legend I; no official text found for exactly when a weekly tier snapshot refreshes after Monday.

Heroes upgrading in the snapshotcommunity only

Official: Not stated in the current support articles. The 2019 FAQ describes the snapshot but we did not find the hero-upgrade line there.Community: Wiki (S7, read 15 Oct 2026): traps are always armed and heroes defend even while upgrading; upgrading defenses stay active at the old level.

Legend I attacks per daysame

Official: 8 per day (S5).Community: 8 per day.

Rules to remember

Layout and Clan Castle changes apply on the next League Day.S5

Legend I: stay at rank 10,000 or better.S5

Community opinion (labelled, not a rule): players often say the larger weekly caps in Legend II are tiring to finish. This does not change the rules shown.
