How to Get League Medals in Clash of Clans

League Medals are one of the most valuable currencies in Clash of Clans — used to purchase exclusive items from the League Shop, including Magic Items, Hero Equipment, and Builder Base resources. If you're not sure how they're earned or how to maximize what you collect, here's a clear breakdown of the system.

What Are League Medals?

League Medals are a special in-game currency earned through Clan War Leagues (CWL) — a monthly competitive event where eight clans battle each other across seven war days. They're separate from regular war loot and can't be farmed through village attacks or regular gameplay.

You spend League Medals in the League Shop, which rotates stock and includes some items unavailable anywhere else in the game.

How Clan War Leagues Work

CWL runs for roughly the first week of every month. During sign-up, a Clan Leader or Co-Leader registers the clan and selects up to 15 members to participate. Once the event begins:

• Each participating member gets one attack per war day
• Wars run across seven consecutive days
• At the end, medals are distributed based on the clan's final placement within their league tier

The key distinction: your clan's finishing position determines medals, not your individual star count — though personal performance still plays a role in bonus medals.

Two Ways to Earn League Medals 🏅

1. Clan Finishing Bonus

Every participating clan earns a placement bonus based on where they finish in their CWL group. The higher the league tier and the better the placement, the more medals distributed to members.

The league tiers from lowest to highest are:

Clans in higher tiers earn significantly more medals than those in Bronze or Silver. A clan finishing 1st in Champion will earn far more medals per member than a clan finishing 4th in Crystal.

2. Individual Bonus Medals

Beyond the base clan reward, each participating member receives bonus medals based on how many stars they personally contributed during the event. These are distributed at a per-star rate set by the system.

A member who attacks all seven days and earns three stars each time will receive noticeably more bonus medals than someone who missed attacks or earned only one star per war.

Roster members who didn't attack at all still receive the clan's base medal amount — but they miss out on the individual bonus entirely.

Factors That Affect How Many Medals You Receive

Several variables determine your final medal count at the end of CWL:

• Your clan's current league tier — the single biggest factor
• Your clan's final placement (1st through 8th)
• Whether your clan promoted, held, or was relegated from their tier
• How many attacks you personally completed
• How many stars you earned across all seven war days
• Whether you were on the active roster — members added mid-event or left on the bench have different outcomes

Maximizing Your Medal Count

To consistently earn more League Medals, the approach differs depending on your role:

As a member: Attack every single war day. Three-starring bases appropriate for your Town Hall level is the goal. Missed attacks mean missed bonus medals — and they also hurt your clan's ranking, which reduces your base payout too.

As a leader or co-leader: Place your strongest active attackers on the CWL roster. Bringing 15 members when several are inactive will drag placement down. A smaller, active roster often outperforms a bloated one.

League tier matters more than anything else. A clan hovering between Crystal and Master will consistently earn mid-range medals. Clans competing in Titan or Legend tier are operating in a different bracket entirely.

What Affects Results Across Different Player Types 🎯

A new player in a Bronze-tier clan who attacks perfectly might earn a fraction of what a veteran in a Legend-tier clan earns for a single CWL event. The system scales hard with tier.

Players who are in clans that promote (finish in the top spots and move up a tier) will start earning more medals in future seasons — but may face tougher matchups. Clans that get relegated earn less until they climb back.

Some players also join CWL-focused "feeder clans" or competitive clans specifically to access higher medal payouts — a legitimate strategy, but one that comes with roster requirements and competitive expectations.

The Variables That Make It Personal

How many League Medals you can realistically earn each month depends on factors that vary widely from player to player: your current clan's tier, how active your roster is, your own Town Hall level relative to the bases you're matched against, and whether your clan is trending up or sliding down through the tiers.

The mechanics are the same for everyone — but where you sit within those mechanics shapes your actual medal output every season.
