Alliance

After occupying Helvania in the Normal story mode, players have the option to either join or create an Alliance.

## Joining an Alliance

To join an Alliance, players can search for one using two or more hashtags. Alliances can have a maximum of 50 members.

Alternatively, if you already know the name of an alliance you'd like to join, you can also search for it directly.

Once the player has found a suitable alliance and meets all of its prerequisites, they can request to join. Depending on the alliance's settings, they will either be automatically approved or will need to be approved by an officer.

A player cannot be part of more than one alliance. If you'd like to leave your current alliance, you are allowed to leave at any time; however joining and leaving an alliance too frequently within a short amount of time will incur a 24-hour cooldown period where you will not be allowed to join another alliance.

## Creating an Alliance

Players also have the option to create their own alliance. To do so, you must be Lord level 4 and spend the appropriate amount of crystals. Players who choose to create an alliance will also have to give it a unique name.

### Leaders and Officers

Once created, the player will automatically be made the alliance's leader and will be given the power to appoint officers. Officers have many of the same privileges as the leader.

Leaders and officers are the only members of the alliance that can approve new member requests or force other members to leave the alliance by using the ban option. Officers are not allowed to appoint or ban other officers.

The alliance leader can also appoint a different alliance member to become the new leader. No particular conditions must be fulfilled to become the leader.

If an alliance leader is inactive for more than 7 days, an officer or another member will automatically be appointed as the new leader.

### Settings

There are several settings which can be changed to better customize your alliance. Settings can be changed by the leader or an officer.

#### Request Approval Settings

Players can choose to either automatically approve all potential new members or require join requests which then need to be individually approved by a leader or officer.

#### Prerequisites

Players can choose from a list of level prerequisites required for new members. These include:

*None (No Prerequisite)*

*Level 5 or higher*

*Level 10 or higher*

*Level 15 or higher*

*Level 20 or higher*

*Level 25 or higher*

#### Hashtags

Players may choose up to two hashtags to help potential members search for their alliance. Currently active hashtags include: #Casual, #BeginnersWelcome, #FrequentPlayers, #Leaderboard\_Focus. #RaidsRequired, #QuietGamers, #GrownupsOnly, #EasyGoing, #LetsTalk, #RaidsOptional.

Additionally, players may also choose to include one personalized hashtag.

#### Alliance Portrait

Players can choose an alliance portrait from a pool of eight promotional images. An alliance's portrait is visible to all potential members and can also be seen in the alliance menu.

#### Introduction

Players may also choose to include a written introduction to better describe your alliance to potential members. Introductions are limited to 400 characters.

## Bonuses

Alliance members receive certain bonuses just for being part of the alliance. Bonuses are granted upon completing expeditions or purchasing hero recruitment packages.

## Raids

Players must be in an alliance to participate in raids.
