Also, has anyone else found it takes a *really* long time to load into a siege battle?

I found it interesting . cuz with proper matchmaking it could be rly goood .. fast content in between cvc for feral set pieces ? 

I liked it, problem for me that I keep coming back to is there is no good in game method or clan communication for this type of event.

You need to be a good clan leader like me and make a rule everyone on discord or your out!! lol we will win it will be a sweep they only have one post left lol We also saved our boosters all of them to be ready for the next and we are in the last tier lol

We do have everyone on discord in the clan.  The underlying problem remains the same though.  You shouldn't have to rely on 3rd party software to have proper communication with your clan.

i found it far more fun than i was expecting, honestly. trying to build teams once i had burned through my arena champions was interesting and i got to dust off some champs that hadn't seen the light of day in ages.

the rng thing is accurate though. even by plarium's standards, the matchups this time were ludicrous. hopefully it will be better in the coming weeks, although i expect it will take a while to undo the effects of the current siege.

Curious why you'd need to build new teams? You get three battles, and you can use the same team twice, so I just used two of my 3v3 teams.

You guys aren't using your rebattles to fight in the Mana Shrines??

Honestly just discovered that was a thing, but only two of the mana shrine slots are occupied so, not much to rebattle. 

Anyway, to OP - agreed this is very much *shrug*. Used two of my arena teams on stronghold, and that's it.

Do rebattles count as victories for the victory chest?  Rules say you need a victory from attack or defense to get the victory chest but we have a few people who didn't get any and the enemy's map is cleared except for the rebattles.

Also we were fortunate in that the enemy had full mana towers so there were plenty of extra fights where I had to get creative with my final teams.

No, rebattles don't count towards the victory chest :(

Defensive wins yes though, from what I understand

You get 12 rebattles. One against each defeated team. So you need to go deep into your roster eventually 

Not sure how you can complain about the matchmaking, the first one was going to be all over the map regardless of their approach. 

I understood nothing about this when it started, and possibly less now... but it's better than I thought. Our demolition of their entire map and 5k points may be part of the reason.  Hopefully we hold enough buildings to get the last reward.

And yes, the number one reason is a lucky matchup.  Though we did have 27/29 get a win on off or def.  And we had a decent plan for both offense and defense. 

and thats why I am in the 54 Trophy clan Raid or Die ....because  there is NO DISCORD  ;)

I just wish some of the stuff was made more clear. Like, I thought you could Re-battle with the same team but the 'two use' per champs doesn't mean stages, it means total.

Overall I'm fine with it, but there needs to be a better way to communicate strategy with clan members

I wouldn't say it's perfectly clear, but for plarium it was... lol.

I think the use 2x and out was great. I was down to scraps and went 11-1 on rebattles.  Have some naked S tiers that would help if I wasn't so damn 

Wait, can *everyone* rebattle each mana shrine team once?

Or is it just that each mana shrine team can be rebattled once, regardless of who in the clan does it?

Everyone in clan can do 12 rebattles 

Okay, I misunderstood that, and it *radically* changes my original premise of how much there is to do and forethought about offense team selection that needs to go into it
