  • Vangrd fills in the attacked ally village, the attack time, the attacker's home village, and the slowest unit that survived.
  • You pick the village to send from and your troops.
  • When to send gives the time to land just after the attacker's army gets home.

To send the waves on time, use the Attack Planner.

When Vangrd checks

  • Vangrd checks the alliance reports only while the account is in a session.
  • It does not start a session to check.
  • Attacks from a sleep block or a break do not give an alert later.

Frequently asked questions

How do I set up ally attack alerts?

Open Alliance in the sidebar and turn on the Attacks on allies switch. Pick how often to check in Check every. Under Allies to watch, search a player, choose All villages or Only these villages, and press Add.

Where are the alerts sent?

Every alert shows in the Recent attacks table in the same section. Vangrd also sends it to Telegram and Discord if you connect them on the Notifications page. Open it from the Automation card on the Dashboard.

Which attacks give an alert?

An attack or raid on a player or village from your Allies to watch list, where the ally lost troops or lost the fight. Vangrd reads these from your alliance reports.

Do I get alerts while the account sleeps?

No. Vangrd checks the alliance reports only while the account is in a session. Attacks from a sleep block or a break do not give an alert later.
