Battle Ages

Moving on Up

You will probably get this first anyways but it would be a safe thing to obtain this achievement first:


You will have to have 2500 at the same time and if you look at your achievement progress on the X1 side screen it will already be about 40%.
0 trophies = 0%, 2500 trophies = 100%.

DR studios has made a couple of changes to make this achievement much more difficult than the 2500 dog tag achievement in Battle Islands, one of the things that has changed is that you cannot attack anyone in Clans anymore, which was EXTREMELY helpful. Instead you have to use their search system which will bring up a list of enemies you can fight and if you don't like any of the ones they chose you have to hit to refresh until you see an opponent that works for you.

The 2nd thing they changed is that you cannot continually attack people around 1000 Trophies, if you attack anyone around 1000 trophies say after you obtain 1300-1400 trophies you will receive 1 measly trophy. You must beat opponents right in your trophy range meaning this will seriously be a battle all the way to 2500, sorry you cannot beat up people below your trophy level this time....

Method 1:
One way to get this achievement is to attack anyone that has a base level below you and more trophies then you, this will net you the most amount of trophies, that or at your same level. If you don't think you can win hit B and retreat before putting any units down. All you need is 1 star to not lose trophies which is 50% base damage or destroy the main building.

Currently since there is a high amount of people still around 1000 trophies is this very difficult to obtain, I am around 1800 trophies and unless I get 3 stars on anyone above 1400 trophies I will only be awarded 1 trophy for winning WITH 3 stars. So compared to Battle Island this is MUCH more difficult to obtain. Once people start moving up in trophies 2500 should become easier to obtain.....

Another tip I have been using to go for 2500 trophies since I have found out that it is EXTREMELY easy to lose defensive battles (which means losing trophies) is that if you are attacking people and need to wait for your units to build (eventually they will take time, currently its 8-9 minute for my units to build) make sure to keep hitting a button while you are away (I watch TV while waiting or go on my laptop). The game will make you inactive and available for attacks within less than a minute of inactivity (Crazy I know right!). Keep your Peaceful mode active unless you are either very secure about winning defensively and only attack people when you know you have time to sit and attack people for a while because if you don't win defensively and don't win your trophies fast enough you will never make it to 2500 trophies. Compared to Battle Islands this game is a whole different ball park.

Method 2:

Today I took the time to go from 1850 trophies to 2500. The amount of time it took was about 10 hours. I could have obtained it much faster but did not realize it until later. Here's how:



I recommend having your base Age 2 or 3 (mine was AGE 3), get your units fully upgraded and have 2 CASTRA's (tents that buid units, and if in age 3) able to have 30 units each. Now what you want to do is put a BOOST on both of them which only cost 10 Jewels to last 4 hours. Now this is a VERY repetitive tactic but nets the most amount of trophies when you are around 2000 trophies, go into BATTLE and search for anyone below the base level 6 and attack them. JUST obtain 1 star! (I always aimed for the main structure) and immediately retreat by hitting then , this will count as 1 win and give you 1 trophy. Re-supply your tents building units and repeat the pattern. Its extremely boring so I recommend watching something on a laptop or 2nd tv. If you do it really fast you can net a ton of trophies. Another quick note is that unlike Battle Islands there is no Trophy limit meaning you can attack people below 1000 trophies when you pass 2000.

How to earn a ton of free Jewels:


Anyone have anything to contribute to this guide I will give credit, anyone have any questions I will answer them to the best of my ability in the comments.

This guide is for 2023 and onwards. Tested on v3.3 build 1191. I found that due to updates to the game and low server population the other guides (and the comments) were no longer helpful. Luckily I've found a consistent and fast way to boost this which can be done solo using a second xbox account. This game is free to play so you don't need to make any purchases on the second account.

Basically all you need to do is set up your second account with a bug in the game that will allow you to repeatedly attack via the defensive battle reports menu. Then you can get near-infinite defensive wins using a single unit. No cooldowns required. Though I recommend logging into your main account every hundred trophies to check progress because this game's servers are quite buggy. That will incur a 10 minute cooldown. This should be way faster than gaining trophies in PVP the normal way.

First you'll need to get you account to the same age and within 100-150 trophies of your main account. This is much easier if you have just started the game. It'll be a grind for late ages, but probably still less of a grind than getting 2500 trophies legitimately. Once you are within range of trophies and the same age, use the PVP battle menu called "enemies" and keep pressing to refresh until you see your main account. Then simply attack your main account with a single unit and immediately retreat. You only need to do this once to trigger the defensive report screen.

Now back out to the main menu. This can be done from the options tab of the game to save time. On the main menu press to switch accounts without needing to exit the game. Sign in with your main account. Now go to battle reports and then defensive reports. You should see the report from your alternate account. There is a 10 minute cooldown before you will be able to attack. Once this has passed press to attack your alternate account. I recommend sending 1 unit and then retreating to save time. You will be gaining trophies regardless and this will keep the two accounts within trophy range in case the servers bug out and you lose your ability to attack through this menu.

Now what you will do is keep trading defensive wins and hope to trigger the defensive report bug. This bug will put two identical reports in your report history for one attack. The second report will never update to "retaliated" meaning you can use it to start attacks as many times as you like. You want this to trigger when attacking your alternate account from your main account so that you can feed wins to your main account.

Once this setup is done you can attack as fast as you like from your alternate account, sending one unit and then immediately retreating. At first this will net you multiple trophies and should quickly boost your main account by about 800 trophies. Then it will slow down to 1 trophy per win. This will still be faster than the other guide though, which also recommends an approach for 1 trophy per win because you don't need to actually attack and get 1 star, something which requires waiting to build units and spending cash. Your alt account can just build grunts and immediately lose after sending 1 unit. Very fast compared to actual PVP wins.

Note: If your trophy count drop below 835, the game will not let you attack via the battle reports menu. You will have to go into PVP and earn some wins to get you trophy count back up. Luckily the game throws you very easy enemies with little defenses at that low trophy count.

Also Note: The Reports popup when you log back into your main account will only show the total trophies for your last 20 battles. All trophies should be counted regardless of this total. I tested this thoroughly and only the progress for the defensive wins achievement is impacted by this limitation. I normally unlocked around 100 trophies at a time before logging back into my main account to check progress.

I unlocked this achievement in 4 evenings of boosting using this method while watching movies . Maybe 10-12 hours total (8 short horror movies). Still a massive grind, but much much faster and more consistent than trying to grind this out in PVP on the current dead servers. I personally hit a hard wall around 1200 trophies were I could not win any battles due to my PVP list only being the same 8 people over and over. This method allowed me to bypass PVP entirely and grind wins a lot faster (no waiting on troops to replenish).

Leave a comment if you need further clarification on anything. Cheers!
