How are CWL medals calculated in 2026?

CWL medals in 2026 are calculated based on three factors: your clan's final placement (1st to 8th), your personal star count (0-8+ stars), and bonus packages from war wins. Your yield percentage is: min(100%, 20% + stars × 10%). Zero stars gives a 20% floor. Eight or more stars gives 100% of the placement reward.

What is the maximum CWL medals you can earn?

In Legend League, first place earns 508 base medals at 100% yield. With 6 base bonuses plus 7 war wins (13 total bonus packages at 105 medals each), the maximum possible is 508 + 1365 = 1873 medals per season for top performers with 8+ stars.

When should I rotate players out in CWL?

Rotate a player out of active CWL attacks when they reach 8 stars (100% yield cap). Once a player hits 8 stars, every additional star they earn provides zero additional medal income. Bringing in a bench player who has 0 stars gives your clan a fresh 20% minimum yield contributor, maximizing clan-wide total medals.

How many bonus packages does a clan receive in CWL?

A clan receives base bonus packages determined by their league tier, plus one additional bonus package per war win during the 7-day season. For example, Champion III clans receive 4 base bonuses. Winning all 7 wars gives 4 + 7 = 11 total bonus packages worth 87 medals each. Since the February 2026 update, 30v30 CWL clans receive double the base bonus packages (available up to Master I); the +1 per war win is unchanged.

What can you buy with CWL medals?

CWL medals can be spent in the Trader Shop on magic items including: Hammer of Building (120 medals), Hammer of Fighting (120 medals), Hammer of Heroes (165 medals), Hammer of Spells (120 medals), Builder Potion (30 medals), Research Potion (20 medals), Training Potion (15 medals), and Wall Ring (10 medals). Hammers provide the highest time value per medal.

What is the CWL medal floor for zero stars?

A player who earns zero stars in CWL still receives a 20% yield floor on their clan's placement reward. This is called the Zero-Star Baseline Protection. For example, if your clan finishes first in Champion III earning 388 medals, a 0-star player still receives 78 medals (20% of 388).

How CWL Medal Calculation Works

Everything you need to know to maximize your Clan War League medal income. Each concept below explains the math and strategy behind the numbers.

Clan War League (CWL) is a monthly 7-day tournament where clans compete against 7 other clans in their group. Each day, your clan fights one war. After 7 days, the clan with the most war wins finishes 1st.

Key rules:

Each player gets 1 attack per war day (7 attacks total across the season)
Each attack can earn 0–3 stars
Maximum stars per player = 21 (7 days x 3 stars)
Your league tier and placement determine base medal payouts
Bonus packages are awarded to top-performing players

Your Star Yield is the percentage of base medals you actually receive. It's calculated per-player based on total stars earned over the 7 war days.

Star Yield = 20% + (Stars × 10%)
Max 100% (capped at 8+ stars)

Stars	Yield	Medals (Champ III 1st = 388 base)
0	20%	78 medals
3	50%	194 medals
5	70%	272 medals
8	100%	388 medals ← CAP
15	100%	388 medals (same as 8)

Why 8 stars? Supercell's formula gives 20% base + 10% per star. At 8 stars you hit 100%. Any stars beyond 8 don't increase your medals, but they help your clan win more wars, which increases bonus packages!

Base Medals are determined by two factors:

Your League — Higher leagues award more medals (Bronze III = 46 medals for 1st, Legend = 508 medals for 1st)
Your Placement — 1st place gets the most medals, 8th place gets the least

Example: A Champion III clan finishing 1st place gets 388 base medals per player (before star yield). The same clan finishing 8th gets 360 base medals.

Your Final Medals = Base Medals × Star Yield + Bonus Package (if awarded).

Bonus packages are extra medals that clan leaders can award to top-performing players after CWL ends. Each package is worth a fixed amount based on your league.

Total Bonus Pkgs = G_base + W (war wins)

Base packages range from 1 (Bronze) to 6 (Legend)
Bonus per package: 42 medals (Bronze) up to 105 medals (Legend)

Example: Champion III (base: 4 pkgs) finishing 1st with 3 war wins = 4 + 3 = 7 bonus packages available. Each is worth 87 medals.

The single most important CWL strategy: Rotate players at 8 stars to maximize total clan medal income.

Since star yield caps at 100% (8 stars), any stars beyond 8 are wasted for that player's personal medal count. Instead, bench players who've hit 8 stars and bring in fresh players who can earn their own stars.

Optimal rotation target: Each player gets 5–7 stars
Never leave a player at 8+ for the whole season if others can still attack!

The Bonus Distribution section helps you identify who deserves bonus packages based on total stars earned.

Spend your CWL medals in the in-game shop. Here are the items ranked by value:

Item	Cost	Value Rank
Hammer of Building	120	Best — Skips max upgrade time (19 days at TH18)
Hammer of Fighting	120	Great for lab upgrades
Hammer of Heroes	165	Great for hero equipment
Hammer of Spells	120	Good for spell factory upgrades
Research Potion	20	Best potion value
Builder Potion	30	Solid for multi-builder pushes
Training Potion	15	Cheap, good for farming sessions
Wall Ring	10	Instant wall upgrades

The Purchase Planner (top right) automatically calculates the best combo of items for your medal balance — prioritizing hammers first!

Your clan chooses between 15v15 or 30v30 CWL signup. The per-player placement payout is the same in both, but a 30v30 clan receives double the guaranteed base bonus packages (2 in Bronze–Silver, 4 in Gold–Crystal, 6 in Master; 30v30 is not offered in Champion and above).

15v15 — Easier to manage, fewer players to coordinate. Each player gets more attacks.
30v30 — More total bonus packages to hand out, harder to coordinate rotations. Better for large active clans.

Pro tip: The doubled base pool in 30v30 is still shared among twice as many players, so each member's chance of receiving a bonus is lower. If your clan has 15+ active members who can get 5+ stars, 15v15 is mathematically better for per-player medal income.

CWL: Clan War League — Monthly 7v7 clan tournament

Roster: List of 15 or 30 players selected for CWL
At Cap: Players who have reached 100% star yield (8+ stars)

How CWL Medals Work in 2026

Clan War League medals in 2026 are calculated using three variables: your clan's final placement (1st to 8th), your personal star count (0 to 8+), and bonus packages earned from war wins. The yield formula is: min(100%, 20% + stars × 10%). Zero stars guarantees a 20% floor. Eight or more stars caps your yield at 100%.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many CWL medals do you get in Champion League?

In Champion III, first place earns 388 base medals. Each placement lower reduces medals by 4. With 7 war wins, your clan receives 4 base bonuses + 7 = 11 total bonus packages worth 87 medals each. A player with 8 stars earns 100% of the placement reward (388 medals) plus their bonus share.

When should I rotate players in CWL?

Rotate a player out when they reach 8 stars (100% yield cap). Every star beyond 8 earns zero additional medals. Bringing in a bench player with 0 stars adds a fresh 20% minimum yield contributor, maximizing clan total medals.

What is the best use of CWL medals?

Hammers of Fighting (120 medals) and Hammers of Building (120 medals) provide the best time value in 2026. A Hammer of Building saves up to 13 days of upgrade time at TH17. Builder Potions at 30 medals each are the best value for active builders on long upgrades.

What is the CWL medal floor?

Every CWL participant receives a minimum 20% of their clan's placement reward regardless of stars earned. This is the Zero-Star Baseline Protection. In Champion III first place, even a 0-star player receives 78 medals (20% of 388). This prevents players from earning nothing if they struggled to 3-star their assigned base.
