Banners
game wiki

Build a village, upgrade the Town Hall, put together an army from cards and go on raids. This page covers buildings by level, troops with animations, and the rules of battle and loot. The numbers come straight from the game.

About the game

Banners is a strategy game about your own village. You place mines and storages, unlock new buildings and levels with the Town Hall, and build walls and defenses. You train your army in the barracks and unlock new troops with cards that you get for battles. With the army you go on a campaign through 25 chapters or attack other players’ villages and take their resources.

There are 25 Town Hall levels. The first buildings go up in minutes, late Town Hall upgrades take days. While you are offline, mines keep producing, and builds and training keep going.

From Town Hall 3 you can build a Guild House and join a guild: guildmates send each other troops, and guilds fight wars against each other. Raids earn trophies that move players up the leaderboard.

How to play

The game runs in Discord. Join a voice channel on a server that has the Echo bot, click Activities (the rocket icon at the bottom of the channel window), pick Echo and open Banners in the games menu. Your village is tied to your Discord account and is the same on every server.

The game is in beta: rules and numbers still change. If you find a bug, send a bug report.

Friends

The “Friends” button is in the column of buttons on the left edge of the screen. Its window has your code of 6 letters and digits and an invite link. The “Invite a friend” button opens a Discord window where you pick who gets the link, and “Copy link” copies it. A friend who opens the game through the link is linked to you automatically. If they came in some other way, for example through “Invite to this game”, they enter your code in the “Friend code” field and press “Link”.

A friend code is entered once and only in a new village: within 72 h of starting the game. The Discord account must also be more than 30 days old. You cannot enter your own code, and two players cannot invite each other.

When your friend’s Town Hall 5 upgrade is finished, you both get a reward. You get gold, wood and mana worth 4 h of your Town Hall income and 8 cards. Your friend gets resources worth 1 h of their Town Hall income and 10 cards. Dark and divine mana are added if you already have storage for them. While a reward is waiting, the “Friends” button shows a red dot. Claim it with the “Claim” button in the window: resources go to your storages, and what does not fit goes to the Guild House treasury. You get rewards for your first 10 friends. Friends after that still appear in the list without a reward for you, and they always get their own.

First steps

In a new village you meet the advisor, the knight Vseslav. He takes you step by step and shows where to tap: collect gold from the mine, place a cannon from the “Shop”, win the first campaign battle, find the “Cards”, train troops in the “Army” and start a Town Hall upgrade. A step with an action counts by itself once you do it. If you lose the first battle, the advisor suggests training new troops and trying again.

Finishing the tutorial gives 500 gold and 10 Swordsman cards. You can skip the tutorial with the “Skip tutorial” button: tap it twice, and there is no reward then. If the village already has upgraded buildings or wins, the tutorial does not appear.

Resources

Gold

The main currency: defenses, the Town Hall, training regular troops, unlocking and upgrading cards. Produced by the Gold Mine, kept in the Gold Storage.

Wood

Goes into buildings and walls. Produced by the Lumber Mill, kept in the Wood Storage.

Mana

Needed for spells and some buildings. Produced by the Mana Spring, kept in the Mana Storage.

Dark Mana

For dark troops and late buildings. The Dark Mana Collector unlocks at Town Hall 7.

Divine Mana

The rarest resource: divine troops and the top upgrades. Its collector unlocks at Town Hall 14.

Town Hall

The Town Hall is the main building. Its level decides how many buildings you can place, how far you can upgrade them, how many builders you have and how high your troops can go.

Buildings: resources

Mines and collectors produce resources on their own, and you collect them. Storages hold your stock and set how much you can keep.

From level 19 · Town Hall 24

Gold Mine

Produces gold while you are offline. A full mine stops producing, so collect in time.

Walls

Walls are placed one tile at a time and join their neighbors on their own. You can extend a row: select a wall and drag one of the four arrows around it, and new walls go in that direction until a building, the edge of the field, the Town Hall limit or until gold runs out. Troops that face a long way around to their target break the nearest wall in the path; an archer shoots over a wall if the building is in range. Walls upgrade instantly and need no builder. Each level looks different: stakes, stakes with barbs, stone and more.

Troops

There are three kinds of troops. Regular troops train for gold, dark troops for dark mana, divine troops for divine mana. Everyone has the Swordsman and the Archer, the rest are unlocked with cards. Unlocking has no Town Hall requirement, but the Town Hall caps the level: up to level 3 right away, then one more level every two Town Hall levels. Each troop takes camp space.

Cards

Cards replace the laboratory. A battle against a player gives 4–6 cards for a win and 1 for a loss. The first win on a campaign base gives 2 for a watch post, 3 for a camp and 5 for a fortress. Rarity decides which card drops. Collect the required number and unlock the troop for gold; after that, cards and gold go into upgrades.

Rarity	Drop chance	To unlock
Common	60%	10 cards
Rare	26%	8 cards
Epic	10%	5 cards
Legendary	3%	3 cards
Mythic	1%	2 cards

Hero cards drop four times less often than other cards of the same rarity.

Battle

A battle lasts three minutes. You deploy troops beyond the white border around the base, and then they act on their own: each one heads for its own target. One star for 50% destruction, one for the Town Hall, one for the whole base. The battle ends when time runs out, the base is destroyed, or all deployed troops are dead and there is no one left to deploy. After the battle, troops you did not deploy return to the camp, and so do 50% of deployed troops that survived, if the camp has room.

Traps stay invisible until they go off. The Hidden Lightning Tower rises from the ground when troops come close. Sappers run to walls and blow a gap in them, the Shield Brute goes only for defenses, the Marauder for resources.

Sharing the battle result

When the game is open in Discord, the battle result window has a “Share” button. It sends a battle card: win or loss, who the battle was against, stars, destruction percentage, loot, trophy change and up to 5 troops and heroes you deployed the most. The bottom of the card says how to open the game. There is no button after a practice battle.

On desktop and in the web version of Discord, the button opens a Discord window where you pick the chat for the card. On a phone, the Echo bot sends the card to the chat of the voice channel where the game is open. For that, Echo has to be on the server, you have to be in that voice channel, and the bot needs permission to send messages and attach files in the channel chat. If the Discord window does not open on desktop, the bot sends the card too. If the card cannot be sent, the reason appears under the button. You can share at most once every 30 seconds, and the bot posts each battle to the chat only once.

Discord status

While you are in the game, your Discord profile shows “Playing Banners” and a line about what you are doing. In the village it is your Town Hall and league, in a raid or guild war the opponent and stars, in the campaign the base. During a replay it says “Watching a battle replay”. The line updates at most once every 15 seconds.

Raids and loot

A raid starts from the “Battle” button at the bottom of the screen: pick “Raid” in its window. The game looks for an opponent among all players who have finished or skipped the tutorial. The opponent’s Town Hall is at most 2 levels away from yours, and players whose trophy count is closer to yours come first. Raid search does not offer villages under a shield, villages being attacked right now or members of your guild. The “Next” button skips the opponent and shows the next one. If there is no opponent, the window says why: how many villages are under a shield, have a Town Hall more than 2 levels away from yours, or belong to players who are still in the tutorial, on the old version of the game or in your guild. It also shows when the nearest shield ends. Searching does not remove your shield; attacking does.

In a raid on a player, the loot depends on the buildings you destroy: from each storage and mine you take a share in proportion to how much of its hitpoints you knocked off. From storages you can take up to 20% of the stock at early Town Halls and up to 14% at late ones, from mines half of what has piled up.

The Town Hall gap changes the loot: against a Town Hall one level above yours you get 120%, one below 80%, three below 25%. If 30% or more is destroyed, the defender gets a shield for 6 h. Below 30% there is no shield. While your village is under attack, a banner at the bottom of the screen has a Watch button, so you can watch the battle live. The defender can take revenge within 12 hours of the start of the raid, even if the attacker has a shield. How revenge works is described in Battle log.

Battle log

The “Log” button on the side of the village screen opens your last 50 raids against players. They are split into the “Defenses” and “Attacks” tabs. A row shows the opponent and their Town Hall, when the battle was, stars, destruction percentage, resources and trophies. For a defense the resources show how much was taken from you, for an attack how much you took. Guild war battles are not in the log: the war has its own screen, and a war defense does not loot your village.

New defenses put a red dot on the “Log” button. Opening the log marks them as seen. Defenses older than 7 days do not count as new.

The “Replay” button shows the battle on the field as it went. You can speed the replay up to 2× or 4×, and the “From the start” button runs it again. Replays exist for battles from the new version of the game.

A defense has a “Revenge” button. You can attack the raider for 12 hours from the start of their raid, even if they have a shield and the Town Hall gap is bigger than regular search allows. Loot, trophies and the shield work as in a regular raid, and attacking removes your own shield. You cannot take revenge if the time is up, someone else is attacking the raider’s base right now, their village is still on the old version of the game, or you are now in the same guild. The revenge list is also on the “Raid” screen.

If your village was attacked while you were away, the “While you were away” window opens when you come back. It shows how many raids there were, who attacked, how much they took, how your trophies changed and how many attacks were repelled. You can open the log from there.

Echo can send you Discord DMs. You choose what to get in the game settings, on the “Notifications” tab. It has 10 switches, all off by default. The “Turn all on” button turns them all on at once. The switches by group:

“Village”: “When I am attacked” (who attacked, how much they took, the trophy change and until when you can take revenge), “When a build is finished”, “Army trained” (the camp is full), “Spells brewed” (the forge is full), “Hero rested”, “Shield ended” and “Mines full” (half of your mines or more are full).
“Friends and guild”: “A friend reached Town Hall 5” (the reward waits in the “Friends” window) and “Guild” (covers both guild wars, when one starts or ends, and reinforcements that guildmates send to your Guild House).
“Events”: “Events and rewards” (covers both the start of a limited-time event and a season reward that is waiting).

Things that happen at the same time arrive in one message. Messages of one kind come at most once every 30 minutes, and the rest within that time arrives as a summary. No messages come while you are in the game, or from 0:00 to 8:00 by your device time: what piles up overnight arrives in one message in the morning. If Discord does not let messages from Echo through, a “Try again” button appears on the “Notifications” tab.

The campaign has 25 chapters with 3 bases each: a watch post, a camp and a fortress. Each chapter is built for the Town Hall level of its number, so a chapter’s fortress is usually taken with a Town Hall one level higher. A win unlocks the next base, and the first win on a base gives cards.

Guilds

A guild holds up to 50 players. Guildmates write in a shared chat, send each other troops and fight wars against other guilds together. The “Guild” button at the bottom of the screen opens the guild window.

Guild House

Without a Guild House you can neither create a guild nor join one. The house unlocks at Town Hall 3, and guilds stay unavailable while its first construction is under way. During an upgrade the house works at its previous level.

The house holds troops sent by guildmates. They come out to defend the village when an enemy gets closer than 9–12 tiles to the house (the radius grows with the house level). In an attack, the “Reinforcements” button deploys all of them at once at one spot. Troops that die defending leave the house, survivors stay, and troops not deployed in an attack go back to the house. From level 4 the house also takes spells, and in an attack you cast them the same way as your own.

The house treasury collects resources: guild war loot and 25% of the raid win bonus. Rewards for tasks and achievements that did not fit in your storages go there too. The “Move to storages” button moves resources from the treasury, as much as fits. Nothing goes in above the treasury capacity, so empty it in time.

Troops and spells are given in space. The guild has as many member slots as the leader’s house gives. The guild level adds up to +50% to treasury capacity.

Creating and joining

Any player with a Guild House can create a guild and becomes its leader. The name is 3 to 24 characters long, the description at most 180. The leader picks the join type and the requirements: the minimum Town Hall and trophies.

“Open”: a player joins right away if they meet the requirements.
“By application”: a player sends an application with a note of up to 150 characters, and the leader or a co-leader accepts or declines it.
“Closed”: no new members are accepted.

A player can have only one application at a time: a new one cancels the old one. When accepting an application, the leader or a co-leader can take a player below the requirements; only free slots and the player’s Guild House are checked. The guild has as many slots as the leader’s Guild House gives: 10 to 50. Rude words are not accepted in the name, description and application, and in chat they are replaced with asterisks.

If the leader leaves, the member with the highest role becomes leader; among equal roles, the one who joined first. When the last member leaves, the guild is deleted.

Guild banner

The leader and co-leaders put together the guild banner on the “Banner” tab of the guild window. A banner is made of ready parts: field color, a second color for the division, the division, a symbol, the symbol color and the field edge. You cannot upload your own images or text. The “Random” button builds a banner from random parts, “Save” saves it. The guild chat shows who changed the banner.

Until a banner is chosen, the guild has a default one: the game builds it once from random parts, and it does not change. The banner is shown in the guild window, in guild search, on the leaderboard, on the war screen and in player profiles. A flag with this banner flies over the Guild House in every member’s village. In battle the flag flies over the defender’s Guild House and disappears when the house is destroyed.

Roles

All members write in chat, request and send reinforcements, and take part in wars. Other rights depend on the role.

Role	Extra rights
Leader	Hands over leadership, accepts and declines applications, changes the description, banner, join type and requirements, starts and cancels war search, promotes and demotes members, kicks members from the guild
Co-leader	Accepts and declines applications, changes the description, banner, join type and requirements, starts and cancels war search, promotes and demotes members, kicks members from the guild
Elder	Kicks members from the guild
Member	Common rights only

You can promote, demote and kick only members with a lower role. A promotion is one step up, and no one is promoted above co-leader. Only a leadership handover makes someone leader; the former leader then becomes a co-leader.

Chat and reinforcements

The chat shows guildmates’ messages, reinforcement requests, the results of their raids and defenses, the start and result of wars, and who joined and who left. A message can be up to 300 characters long, and you can send one at most once every 2 seconds and no more than 12 per minute.

The request button posts a request for troops to the chat, and you can add a note of up to 80 characters. You can ask while the house is not full, at most once every 20 min. At high guild levels the wait is shorter, down to 5 min. Under a request, guildmates see their ready troops and spells; one tap sends one troop or one spell. They can send as much as the house has free space, and one guildmate can fill it alone. A troop arrives at the sender’s level, but not above the cap for the receiver’s Town Hall. You cannot send reinforcements during your own raid.

Guild level

The guild gets XP for reinforcements: 1 per troop space and 2 per spell space. A member’s raid win brings 3. Reinforcements and raids by one member give at most 200 XP per day, Moscow time. For a war the guild gets 5 per star plus 150 for a win, 80 for a draw or 30 for a loss. There are 20 levels, and bonuses unlock in steps.

Level	Total XP	What changes
1	0	reinforcement request every 20 min
2	500	5% refund for sent troops
3	1,900	war reward +5%, reinforcement request every 18 min
4	4,500	treasury +10%
5	8,500	reinforcement request every 15 min, 10% refund for sent troops
6	14,100	war reward +10%
7	21,400	reinforcement request every 13 min, treasury +20%
8	30,700	20% refund for sent troops
9	41,700	war reward +15%, reinforcement request every 11 min
10	55,700	treasury +30%
12	89,700	reinforcement request every 9 min, 30% refund for sent troops
14	133,700	war reward +20%, treasury +40%
16	188,700	reinforcement request every 7 min, 40% refund for sent troops
18	255,700	war reward +25%, treasury +50%
20	334,700	reinforcement request every 5 min, 50% refund for sent troops

Refund: the sender gets back this share of the cost of the troops they sent. The war reward and treasury bonuses are counted from the base values.

Guild wars

The leader or a co-leader starts a war. They pick the size (2, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 or 50 members per side, but no more than the guild has) and the lineup. If no lineup is picked, the strongest members by Town Hall and trophies go in. The game looks for an opponent among guilds waiting for a war of the same size, with lineup strength within 15%. Strength is the sum of Town Hall levels. A guild that waits longer than 1 h gets any opponent of the same size.

There is no preparation day: the war lasts 24 hours right after the match. Each member has 2 attacks and can attack each enemy base once. Attacks hit copies of the bases as they were when the war started: no construction goes on there, and Guild House troops defend the base again in every attack. The best attack on each base counts. The guild with more stars wins; with equal stars, the one with the higher average destruction. Trophies do not change in a war, and the defender loses nothing.

War loot does not arrive right away. It piles up, and when the war ends it goes into each member’s Guild House treasury: 100% for a win, 75% for a draw, 50% for a loss, counted from what that member looted. The guild level adds up to +25% on top. War attacks count towards daily tasks and the “Guild War” achievement.

Raids and the guild

You cannot attack members of your own guild, and raid search does not offer them. Guild House troops defend the village in regular raids too. A raid win with at least one star brings the guild XP. The result of every raid and every defense of a member appears in the guild chat.

Reports

Another player’s chat message, a guild card in search and a join application each have a “Report” button. Applications are seen by the leader and co-leaders, so they are the ones who can report them. Echo Support reviews the report. The reported person does not find out who sent it.

For violations, a message can be hidden or deleted, a guild name replaced with the neutral “Guild #…”, a description or application text cleared, writing in guilds banned for up to 365 days or permanently, and a guild can be disbanded. A ban closes chat, request notes, application texts, the description and guild creation. The person affected gets a letter from Echo on the website with the reason. You can dispute the decision on the appeal page.

Leaderboard and leagues

The “Ranks” button on the side of the screen opens the leaderboard with the “Players”, “Guilds” and “Leagues” tabs. The player list shows the top 100 by trophies, the guild list the top 50 by points. You see your own row even if you are not on the list. The leaderboard includes players who have trophies or have searched for a raid at least once.

Only raids on players give trophies: 10 per star of a win. On a loss the attacker loses 8. The defender loses as many as the attacker gained, and gets 8 for a repelled attack. The campaign and guild wars do not change trophies.

Your league depends on your trophy count. A season lasts a calendar month, Moscow time, and ends on the 1st at 00:00 Moscow time. The reward goes by your best result of the season: if you reached a league and then dropped lower, you still get the reward for it.

The reward is cards and resources. Resources are counted in hours of Town Hall income: Town Hall income is the gold, wood and mana an active player at your Town Hall level gets in an hour from collecting and raids. Dark and divine mana are added if you already have storage for them.

League	From trophies	Hours of income	Cards
Unranked	0	—	—
Bronze	400	2	3
Silver	800	4	5
Gold	1,400	6	8
Crystal	2,000	9	12
Master	2,600	12	16
Champion	3,200	16	20
Titan	4,100	20	25
Legend	5,000	24	30

After the season ends, a results window opens when you come back; claim the reward there or on the “Leagues” tab. If you do not claim it, the game gives it to you when the next season ends. At the end of a season, trophies above 5,000 are cut: you keep 5,000 plus 50% of the excess. For example, 6,000 trophies become 5,500.

Guild points come from members’ trophies. Members are sorted by trophies, highest first, and each member’s trophies are multiplied by the weight of their place: places 1–10 ×0.5, 11–20 ×0.25, 21–30 ×0.12, 31–40 ×0.1, 41–50 ×0.03. A big guild does not overtake a strong one just by having more members. With equal points, the guild with more war wins ranks higher.

Tasks and achievements

The “Tasks” button on the side of the screen opens tasks and achievements. Every day you get 3 tasks, one from each group: “Collect”, “Battle” and “Village”. The goal adapts to your village and Town Hall. If a group has no task available to your village (for example, you have no Guild House or have never searched for a raid), a task from another group is used. Tasks change at midnight Moscow time, and unfinished ones are gone.

Group	Task	Goal
Collect	Collect gold from mines	what your collectors produce in 4 h
Collect	Collect wood from lumber mills	what your collectors produce in 4 h
Collect	Collect mana from springs	what your collectors produce in 4 h
Battle	Win battlescampaign, event bases, raids and wars	2–4

Village	Brew spellsforge space	as much space as your forge has
Village	Start a build or an upgradewall upgrades count too	1–3
Village	Send reinforcements to guildmatesspace	15% of your camp space, at least 5

Where a range is given, the goal grows with the Town Hall: from level 1 to level 25.

Each task gives gold, wood and mana worth 1 h of Town Hall income. Completing all of the day’s tasks opens a chest: 3–8 cards depending on your Town Hall. If the reward does not fit in your storages, the rest goes to the Guild House treasury.

Achievements count over your whole time in the game. Each has 3 tiers, and each tier gives cards; achievements give no resources. Bronze gives 2 cards, Silver 5 cards, Gold 10 cards.

Achievement	What counts	Bronze	Silver	Gold

Events

Events run for a limited time, and a new one starts every few weeks. Event dates are in Moscow time: an event starts at 00:00 on the first day and ends at 24:00 on the last. While an event runs, a badge with its name and the time left appears on the left of the village screen. The badge opens the event window, and so does an icon on the campaign map. A red dot on the badge means there is a reward to claim.

An event boosts several troops: they hit harder, and some also get more health. The boost works in every battle started during the event: campaign, raids, guild wars and the event base. A battle started before the event ends is played out with the boost.

The event base is a special village built around the event’s theme. It has 3 tiers, each for its own Town Hall levels. You see the base for your Town Hall, and the base’s Town Hall equals yours. The first win on the base gives resources and cards. This reward is given once per tier: if your Town Hall moves up to the next tier during the event, that tier has its own reward. The base’s buildings give no loot, and repeat battles on it give nothing but count towards tasks. After the event ends, the base is closed. A battle started before the event ends is rewarded even after it.

An event has its own tasks that run for the whole event. Goals are set by your Town Hall the first time you enter the game during the event, and battles count from that moment. Claim the reward with the “Claim” button in the event window. Resources go to your storages, and what does not fit goes to the Guild House treasury. Completed tasks you did not claim are rewarded automatically after the event ends. Resources in event rewards are counted in hours of Town Hall income.

Halloween

October 28 – November 3, Moscow timeon now

During Halloween the village changes: pumpkins with glowing faces stand by the buildings, lanterns hang on posts, cobwebs stretch by the lanterns and in the corners of walls, bats circle over the Town Hall, fog creeps along the ground, and the light turns to evening. On low graphics quality there are fewer pumpkins and lanterns and no fog. Event bases are decorated the same way in battle.

Where a goal shows a range, it grows with the Town Hall: from level 1 to level 25. Dark and divine mana are added to rewards if you already have storage for them.

Settings

The gear in the top right corner, under your resources, opens the “Settings” window. It has four tabs: “Graphics”, “Sound”, “Notifications” and “Language”. Graphics, sound and language are saved on this device. In Discord the storage is sometimes unavailable, and then your choice lasts until the game restarts. Notifications are stored on the server and are the same on all devices.

Graphics

Graphics quality can be high, medium or low. In “Auto” mode the game picks the level for your device and lowers it if the game runs slowly.

Sound

Sound turns on after your first tap or click in the game: that is how browsers work. The village and battles have different music. When the game tab is hidden, the sound is paused.

The “Sound” tab has two sliders: music volume, and the volume of effects together with button sounds. The “Mute all sound” button turns everything off at once.

Notifications

On the “Notifications” tab you turn on Discord DMs from Echo. It has 10 switches in the “Village”, “Friends and guild” and “Events” groups. What each switch sends and how the messages arrive is described in Battle log.

Language

The “Language” tab has three options: Auto, Russian and English. Auto uses your Discord language, or the website language if the game is not open in Discord. The language changes right away. Player messages in guild chat, player names and guild names are not translated. The game draws the “Share” card and writes the Discord status line in the chosen language.
