Clan War League Medals: 3 Ways to Maximize

Clan War League runs once a month, giving you 12 chances a year to earn medals that accelerate your progression. Many players waste those opportunities by settling for a clan in a low league, sticking with 15v15 wars, or missing out on bonuses. The system is simple: medals come from your clan’s league and the bonuses you earn individually. Higher leagues pay more base medals, and bonuses add a substantial extra payout. That means three levers control your monthly medal income: league placement, war size, and bonus earnings.

Choose the Highest League You Can Realistically Join

League placement is the biggest factor because base medal payouts increase significantly as you climb. The gap between Gold I and Master II alone is around 162 medals per month for a 15v15 war. Over a year, that difference adds up to nearly 2,000 medals. Don’t worry about getting crushed in a higher league—your personal win-loss record matters far less than participation. As long as you attack when selected, you earn medals regardless of the clan’s overall results. Find a clan competing in the highest league your Town Hall level can support. Many clans carry a mix of TH levels and can punch into higher leagues than you might expect.
