As for what you get from the new Raid Medals, they’re one of the new most valuable currencies in Clash of Clans that can be used for upgrading the Clan’s Capital, buying a troop, and getting items from the weekly shop. The more people grinding progress from Capital Raids, the more people in your clan are going for maximizing Raid Medals. Whether you run a clan and are focused on optimizing your clan’s efficiency, or you are a more chill player looking for the most bang for your buck every Raid Weekend, there are many low-key tactics that can get you loads more Raid Medals.
In this guide, we’ll break down a highly effective, often overlooked trick that helps players earn more Raid Medals consistently. Those who manage multiple Clash of Clans accounts or are part of optimized clans will find this method especially powerful. By the end of this article, you’ll have everything you need to skyrocket your Raid Medal gains and help your clan perform better every weekend.
Understand How Raid Medals Work
Before diving into the secret trick, it’s essential to understand how Raid Medals are calculated. Raid Medals are primarily rewarded from:
- District destruction
- Capital Peak destruction
- Successful defenses
- Clan performance
In simple terms, the more districts your clan destroys and the more defenses you secure, the more Raid Medals you earn. However, most clans leave hundreds, even thousands, of potential Raid Medals on the table because they don’t optimize their attack patterns or clan structure.
This is where the hidden trick can make a massive difference.
The Secret Trick: District Reset Manipulation
One of the least known yet most effective methods to consistently earn more Raid Medals is a strategy often called “Smart Clan Cycling” or “District Reset Manipulation.” This method revolves around how Capital Raid matchmaking works and how clans can influence their weekly opponents to maximize their gains.
While it sounds complicated, the strategy is simple once you understand the mechanics:
How the Trick Works
- Create or join a low-level Capital clan during Raid Weekend.
- Keep your main clan active for defenses, but use the secondary clan for attacks.
- Low-level clans face:
- Easier Capital Districts
- Fewer defenses
- Lower Peak levels
- Because these clans are easier to destroy completely, players can farm maximum Raid Medals with fewer attacks and less troop strength.
This technique works incredibly well for clans with:
- Extra members
- Alternate accounts
- Coordinated attack groups
- Casual players with limited time
It becomes even more effective if you manage multiple Clash of Clans accounts, as you can rotate them between clans to increase the number of available raids and spread your attacks efficiently.
Why This Trick Works So Well
Clash of Clans’ Capital Raid matchmaking pairs you with clans based on Capital Hall level and previous performance. When you attack from a low-investment clan with weak defenses, you are matched against similarly weak clans. These districts can be wiped easily, allowing you to collect more:
- District destruction bonuses
- Peak destruction bonuses
- Maximized Raid Medal payouts
Instead of struggling against high-level bases, you’re dominating low-tier districts in a fraction of the time.
This method is completely within the game’s rules-it doesn’t break any ToS and is used by many experienced clans.
A Guide to Using the Trick
Here’s a simplified walkthrough to implement this method successfully:
1: Create or Join a Mini-Clan
Start a fresh clan or join a small clan where the Clan Capital has minimal upgrades.
2: Move a Few Members or Alt Accounts
Send 3–10 members, depending on your clan size. This ensures your mini-clan activates the Raid Weekend. Players who frequently switch between multiple Clash of Clans accounts will find this extremely convenient.
3: Participate in Raids from the Mini-Clan
Because your Capital level is low:
- Enemy districts are weak
- Destruction is easy
- Fewer attacks are wasted
Players often get full district clears in 1–2 attacks, dramatically increasing the Medal-per-attack ratio.
4: Use Main Clan to Farm Defense Medals
While attacking from the mini-clan, your primary clan continues to generate:
- Defense bonuses
- Peak damage bonuses
- Weekly shop benefits
So you’re effectively earning Raid Medals from two sources at once.
5: Repeat Weekly
This cycle can be repeated every Raid Weekend, making it one of the most consistent Medal-farming strategies available.
Ideal Troops for Fast Capital Clears
Some troops are more efficient for low-tier districts. Here’s a table of the best troops based on speed and versatility:
| Troop | Best Use Case | Why It Works |
| Super Barbarians | Early districts | Fast, destructive, perfect for weak bases |
| Sneaky Archers | Precision clearing | Long invisibility allows safe attacks |
| Battle Rams | Wall breaking | Low-tier bases rely heavily on walls |
| Super Wizards | Burst damage | Ideal for taking out clustered defenses |
| Graveyard Spell | Any district | Skeleton swarms overwhelm small defenses |
Using these wisely ensures your clan clears districts with minimal troop waste.
Additional Tips to Maximize Raid Medals
1. Attack Early
Start attacking as soon as the Raid Weekend begins. This helps secure more targets before other clans increase their difficulty.
2. Use the “Scout First” Rule
Always scout districts before attacking. Even weak bases can waste your troops if you go in blind.
3. Communicate with Clan Members
Coordination ensures:
- No duplicate attacks
- Districts are cleared efficiently
- Medals are not wasted
4. Save Capital Gold for Upgrades That Matter
Prioritize upgrades that increase attack quality rather than defenses in your mini-clan.
5. Rotate Members Weekly
Have different players attack from the mini clan each week. This allows more members to gain extra Raid Medals.
How Much More Can You Earn?
Based on testing from experienced clans: Regular clans earn 800–1,200 Raid Medals per player on average. Smart Clan Cycling can increase this to 1,500–2,100 per player, depending on participation. This means you can earn 40–80% more Raid Medals just by implementing this trick.
Is This Strategy Allowed?
Yes. This method does not violate any Clash of Clans policies.
Players are free to:
- Join different clans
- Use multiple accounts
- Participate in Capital Raids in any clan they choose
Supercell only restricts actions that involve cheating, botting, or manipulating third-party software. Clan cycling for raids is completely legitimate.
To Conclude
Raid Medals are a vital part of progression and a significant advantage for any serious Clash of Clans player. By using Smart Clan Cycling (District Reset Manipulation), you can dramatically increase the amount of Raid Medals you earn every weekend. Whether you are looking to upgrade, assist your clan’s advancements, or get more incentives from optimizing your characters, the benefits are numerous.
