"Win five stars from multiplayer battles to earn a bonus!"
Summary
- The Star Bonus is a feature that was added in the Version 8.116.2 update on January 26, 2016.
- After achieving 5 stars in Multiplayer Battles, you get an additional loot bonus according to your League. It is deposited in the Treasury.
- Starting at Town Hall level 8, if the Blacksmith is constructed and the player is in a Trophy League, Ores will be awarded alongside the Star Bonus. Ores are deposited in the Blacksmith.
- The bonus resets 24 hours after the fifth star has been acquired.
- In case the current Star Bonus isn't completed within 24 hours, a new one will be available immediately after the current Star Bonus has been completed. At most two Star Bonuses can stack at one time. If you have two Star Bonuses and complete the first one, the next Star Bonus will be available 24 hours after the completion of the first Star Bonus.
- You can see when a Star Bonus is available by looking at the "Attack" button. If at least one is currently available, the button will have outlines of Stars. Scoring stars will then fill in some of these outlines.
- If Star Bonuses are not available, the Attack interface (in the Multiplayer tab) will show you how much time remains before a new one becomes available.
- If you have two Star Bonuses available and complete the first, any excess Stars you have earned will count towards the second Star Bonus. However, if you only have one Star Bonus, excess Stars will not count towards future Star Bonuses. The same is true if you do not have any Star Bonuses available; any Stars scored in that period will not count towards the next Star Bonus.
- Some Events offer a temporary Star Bonus boost, where the Star Bonus is multiplied by a factor (between 2x to 5x). During such events, the star outlines on the Attack button will shine brightly and the boost is also indicated on the Attack interface.
- Upgrading the Town Hall to level 4 or higher will provide a 4x Star Bonus boost for 3-5 days after the upgrade (depending on the Town Hall level). This will make the Town Hall have a "boosted" aura; this is the only boost upon upgrading the Town Hall which cannot be achieved by Magic Items.
- The Star Bonus boost increases the amount of resources gained from the Star Bonus, and it has an effect on the amount of ores gained according to the multiplier.
Trivia
- Since the Star Bonus is deposited in the Treasury, you may protect the loot by NOT collecting the star bonus unless the resources are already near or over the amounts needed to reach the cap of the current Town Hall level. This is because only 3% of all loot in the treasury can be stolen.
- If you complete a Star Bonus and get promoted to a higher league at the same time, the Star Bonus awarded will be from this higher league that you were promoted to.
- If you are promoted to Legend League (5000+ trophies) prior or on the completion of a Star Bonus, and you did not join the Legend League system before Star Bonus completion, you will still get the Star Bonus reward amount for Legend League.
