Alliance

Commanders can create or join **Alliances** to work together to earn rewards and more by participating in Alliance Quests and Alliance Missions, and asking for Alliance Help. Access to Alliances are unlocked at level 5.

Upon joining an Alliance for the first time, a Commander would receive a Premium Bot Crystal, 25 Energon, ~~and 100 Loyalty~~. This was replaced with an Objective, which would give 20 Energon, 3 Alliance Crystals, and 1000 Gold.

## Creation

You can choose to spend  25 Energon~~or 2,000 Arena Chips~~  to create a new Alliance. Start your own Alliance in the Alliance Tab, by selecting ”**Create Alliance**”.

This will allow you to select:

* Your **Alliance Name** (not unique)
* Your **Alliance Tag** (unique)
* Description of the Alliance
* Privacy Type: **Open**, **Closed**or **By Request**

Notes

* An **open**Alliance allows every Player to join without sending a request.
* Selecting “**By Request**” forces users to send a request to the Alliance leader.
* Players cannot apply to join a **closed**Alliance.
* Description and privacy type can be changed by Alliance Leaders.

## Ranks

Every Alliance has up to 18 Members, divided in 3 Ranks:

* **Leader** [only 1 per Alliance] - can update Alliance information, help, invite and accept new members, kick members from the Alliance, promote, and demote users.
* **Officers** [no limit] - can update Alliance information, help, invite and accept new members, and kick members from the Alliance.
* **Members** - can only help others.

If a Leader wishes to leave the Alliance, they will be able to promote an Officer to Leader. If the Leader leaves without promoting another member to that role, the player who has been in the Alliance the longest will be appointed Leader.

If all members leave an Alliance, it will be disbanded forever.

### Leadership Change

*Sometimes, for various reasons, alliance leaders can be inactive in the game. To make sure everyone continues to have a great experience, alliance leadership can be transferred to the next highest-ranking active member of the alliance.*

Kabam's *support team will assist players who contact us directly about leadership succession, as long as one of the following criteria is met:*

* *The alliance's current leader has been inactive for at least 28 days.*
* *The alliance's current leader has been temporarily suspended for 30 days.*
* *The alliance's current leader’s game account has been permanently closed from the game.*
* *The former alliance leader accidentally transferred leadership in the last 48 hours and contacts our support team directly.*

*The new leader will need to meet the following requirements:*

* *The member has been active in the game in the past 30 days.*
* *The member is the highest-ranking active member of the alliance (e.g. an officer).*
* *The member has been in the alliance the longest.*

*Important: Please note that* Kabam is *unable to make exceptions to this policy, and we will not consider leadership requests without an investigation. Requests that do not meet these requirements will not be granted the leadership position.*

## Alliance Help

* *Remember that:*
	+ *You cannot ask for help if you are in an alliance by yourself.*
	+ *You can only ask for mission help when you run out of Energy.*
	+ *Each time an alliance member helps you, you gain one Energy.*
	+ *Each time you ask for help, up to 10 alliance members can provide help for missions, and five members can help you with arenas and player versus player (PvP) battles.*
	+ *You can only ask for mission help once every 12 hours.*

*Help your alliance to get Gold. You will earn ~~35~~ 100 Gold each time you help alliance members, with a daily limit of 3,500 Gold. You can continue helping your alliance once you reach the cap of 3,500 Gold, but you will not receive extra ~~Loyalty Points.~~*

*All active requests will be displayed in your alliance tab.*

* *Remember for Arena help:*
	+ *You cannot ask for help if you are in an alliance by yourself.*
	+ *You can ask for help after you fight with a bot in PvP mode if you are out of stamina.*
	+ *Each time an alliance member helps you in PvP mode, that character's cooldown is reduced by one minute.*
	+ *When you request PvP mode help, up to five alliance members can assist you.*
	+ *You can ask for PvP mode help once per character, per cooldown, and with no daily limit.*

## Alliance Chat

*The alliance chat is a private chat channel for you and your alliance's members. You will need to join an alliance before you can access this chat window.*

*Once active, you can swipe left and right between global and alliance chat with your main chat bar.*

*You will need to have your alliance chat enabled via the in-game settings menu in order to see your alliance chat. If chat is enabled on your account, the blue square that you can tap to enable the feature should appear to be filled in completely.*

## Alliance Player Invites

*In order to send alliance invites, you will need to be the leader of the alliance.*

*If you are the current leader:*

1. *Tap on a player name in your chat window.*
2. *Tap on the INVITE option to send the invitation to the alliance.*

*Note: This will only work for players in your chat channel.*

*Once the invite has been sent, the player will receive a message in their inbox.*

## Alliance Search Tool

If you are not part of an alliance, you will see recommended alliances first in the search results. These are all open alliances based on your strength, your country, and your language.

* *SEARCHING FOR AN ALLIANCE WHEN YOU HAVE ALREADY JOINED ONE*
* *Tap the bulleted list icon on the top of the alliance menu next to the name of your current alliance.*
* *Access the search tool.*
