State 677 — Capital Clash and State Ruler Guide
Last reviewed: August 5, 2026. Follow the live event screen and State 677 leadership instructions, because Capital Clash rules can vary by phase and server group.
Before the Battle
Section titled “Before the Battle”- Heal all troops and empty hospitals.
- Prepare Food, Wood and healing speedups.
- Keep advanced teleports available.
- Confirm mud assignments, rally leads and reinforcement roles.
- Activate relevant buffs when directed.
- Shield if you will be offline or unable to follow commands, and remain outside the mud because headquarters positioned in the mud cannot activate a shield.
- Avoid unnecessary losses before the capital shield drops.
Mud Control
Section titled “Mud Control”- Occupy assigned mud positions early when leadership calls for it.
- Keep strong and active headquarters closest to critical positions.
- Reinforce important players rather than scattering troops.
- Report enemy movements and open spaces immediately.
- Do not abandon assigned positions to chase isolated enemies.
Capital and Turret Control
Section titled “Capital and Turret Control”- Holding the capital is the main objective.
- Turrets can influence the capital battle and should not be ignored; leadership must decide which turrets to capture, defend or deny.
- Reinforce the capital and controlled turrets with fresh formations when directed.
- Do not divide the strongest players across too many objectives without a clear command plan.
- Shielded support players outside the mud may reinforce friendly objectives when the live rules permit, but joining an offensive rally or taking an attacking action can remove the shield.
When the Capital Opens
Section titled “When the Capital Opens”- Follow commander target calls.
- Use coordinated attacks and reinforcements rather than random solo marches.
- Batch-heal to benefit from alliance help.
- Rotate fresh formations into the objective.
- Watch hospital capacity continuously.
- Preserve enough troops for later phases; the first attack is not always the decisive one.
State Ruler Score Preparation
Section titled “State Ruler Score Preparation”- Complete Alliance Duel and preparation activities before the final battle.
- Coordinate truck looting and other invasion-point activities accurately.
- Do not assume four different trucks are required when the live rules allow repeated attacks on eligible trucks.
- Save combat resources for the decisive window.
Common Mistakes
Section titled “Common Mistakes”- Losing troops before the shields drop.
- Filling hospitals and continuing to fight.
- Chasing personal kills while the capital objective is threatened.
- Teleporting without a mud assignment.
- Failing to shield inactive accounts.
- Ignoring reinforcement and healing calls.
