What a week! We are currently riding a massive
The Turning Point As many of you know, some of our ranked veterans have moved on to new chapters. Losing them definitely makes the fly more challenging, but we’ve never been ones to back down from a fight. It’s a new era for the team, and the challenge only makes the victories sweeter.
Shoutouts & Feedback A huge thank you to everyone for the massive effort lately. Check out some of the love we’ve been getting from the global community below!
The DUCKS are flying high and our bags are officially heavy! We just wrapped up a matchup against the ะกะะะ ะ ะะ ะะะะ alliance, and let’s just say... the loot was legendary.
We found ourselves staring down a goldmine of inactive bases absolutely bursting with supplies. It was a total buffet!
A big thank you to ะกะะะ ะ ะะ ะะะะ! While the warfare wasn't the toughest we've faced, it’s always a pleasure sharing the battlefield with you guys. Respect! ๐ค
Current Status: ⭐ 30 STARS (A perfect first half!)
The Mission:
We are off to an incredible start! Everyone is putting in their best effort as we say a proper goodbye to our teammates, MISIO and also MARSHMALLOW.
Let’s keep this momentum, stay flawless, and finish this war with a massive win in their honor.

KOISE DE GRILO - a warrior from Portuguese, a brother-in-arms!
You are, and always will be, the ultimate warrior. An invaluable asset to the DUCKS alliance, we were incredibly lucky to have you join us from day one, back when our swings were weak and our feathers weren't yet thick enough to withstand the enemy's firepower.
Though you were one of the most silent players on the team, your actions spoke louder than words. We learned so much just by mimicking your style and watching your discipline on the battlefield.
Family comes first. We heard your last message about needing to step away to care for your mother, and we send our deepest respect. We can do nothing but offer our prayers and best wishes for her health and well-being.
The world is round, and all roads eventually cross. We truly hope to see you again and have you back in our lineup one day.
All the best to you and your loved ones.
Goodbye from all of us at DUCKS.
We just wrapped up an absolute war against SF SUOMI FINLAND, the #6 ranked alliance on the leaderboard. Let’s be real—on paper, this looked like a "David vs. Goliath" situation. They came at us with a fortress of gurus and heavy hitters rocking 70K tags.
But games aren't played on paper.
While they had the "Top 6" title, we had the heart. Here’s how we pulled off the upset of the season:
The Front Line: Our ranked players went toe-to-toe with their elite, proving that "expert" is just a title until you meet a Duck in a dark alley.
The Secret Weapon: Our mid-range and average players absolutely outclassed their lineup. You guys were the backbone of this win!
Team Spirit: Our coordination and energy were on a completely different level. We didn't just play together; we fought together.
The final score? 27 / 26.
To SF SUOMI FINLAND: We secured the win this time, but you are still an incredible alliance. To be honest, if we had to do this warfare all over again tomorrow, we aren't sure the result would be the same. You pushed us to our limits, and we have nothing but respect for your strength. We will keep doing our best and keep growing to stay on your level!
I have reported to Salep at 505 the following case.
The technical nature of this message specifically criticizing the game's security infrastructure leads me to believe that this was not sent by 505 team, but rather by an unauthorized third party or hacker.
Team, it is with a heavy heart that I share some tough news.
As many of you know, Popeye has been with us since Day One. He wasn't just a member; he was a pioneer and a pillar of the DUCKS. Recently, he had been quiet, and I think the weight of our recent struggles against those massive alliances took a toll on him.
I want to be clear: no one dismissed him. He chose to slip away quietly, the same way he often led without needing the spotlight, just getting the job done.
To Popeye:If you’re reading this, thank you. You were more than a teammate; you were my teacher and my guru. You were the wall that protected us when we were vulnerable.
Your strategies are woven into the very fabric of how we fight.
Your spirit will live on in every war we start and every rally we join. You might be gone from the roster, but your tactical legacy is permanent here in DUCKS.
Fair winds and following seas, legend. You will be missed.

Despite having only 8 active players this round (DeathBringer and Grilo were away on vacation), the DUCKS just pulled off a massive upset against Rogue Souls (Rank 12)!
Final Score: 30 Stars (15 Raids) vs. 8 Stars (18 Raids)
Performance: 99% Perfect hit rate.
The Challenge: Facing a lineup with 75% CB-10 bases is never "easy peasy," but our strategy held firm.
GG to everyone, enjoy the win!
Happy weekend, commanders!
I’ve put together a quick quiz featuring 7 common offensive scenarios I captured during my recent gameplay and warfare.
If you’re looking to level up your raiding skills, these cases are for you.
While I’ve shared my preferred solutions, remember: there are many ways to achieve a successful raid! Your strategy might be different from mine, and that’s what makes the game great. ๐
Check it out, test your tactical instincts, and have a great weekend!
JPDUCK from DUCKS Alliance!
What a massive effort in our last war against DragonSquad! Even though it was a tight one, seeing 7 active warriors pull 25 stars was honestly incredible. We were this close to the win!
Huge congrats to the team for the hustle. To help us get even better, I’ve put together my first-ever video featuring some of the top replays from the war. It’s basically a reference for us to review our strategies and level up for the next one.
Check it out, and have a great weekend everyone. Thank you!

I’ve been lurking in the global chat to gather some intel! Here are a few expert secrets on island placement and how to deck out each island with the perfect defensive setup. ๐

| Tips from Dangerous and Mabel, they are the same player |
No base is 100% invincible. The best offensive strategy will eventually find a way through. However, a smart design is the difference between losing a little and getting flattened.
If you want to see these theories in action, come join DUCKS and check out the bases of Deathbringer, Popeye, Misio, Colin and many great players from our alliance. (shoutout to Colin I totally copied his layout!)
Stay safe, hit hard, and enjoy the weekend!
Go DUCKS!
It’s January 18th, 2026, and looking back on the last six months, it’s been quite an emotional journey. Our flock has flown high, seen many victories, and weathered many losses, we always keeping our spirits up.
However, we are currently facing a difficult chapter. We’ve said goodbye to some incredible players like SPOOGE, HungAB, and now DINAMA. With OG leaving yesterday and the need to clear inactive spots, things feel a bit different. We’ve also learned a hard lesson: while having high-ranked players is a great honor, their presence alone doesn't guarantee victory. In fact, they may attract powerful enemies that the rest of the team isn't ready to fight yet.
It’s time to sit back, not to relax, but to rethink our path. We may need to fly a bit lower and slower for a while. Our focus now is on growing together, strengthening our current roster, and recruiting dedicated players who want to build something long term.
Have a great weekend, everyone. Thank you for being part of this journey, whether it was for a few days or six months. Wishing you all the best.
It’s with a touch of sadness that we bid farewell (for now, we hope!) to two of our dedicated warriors: HungAB and SPOOGE. They've been invaluable members of our team, flying with the flock through thick and thin for many months.

SPOOGE, in particular, has been with us almost from day one, a true veteran of our shared adventures. HungAB, too, has been a consistent and reliable presence.
There's a well-known glitch in the game where some players experience persistent crashes upon logging in until their alliance dismisses them, allowing for a sort of "reset." We're holding onto the hope that this is exactly what happened to HungAB and SPOOGE. We desperately hope this step helps them resolve any issues they might be facing. This might be the case for HungAB, as his main Combat Base is still showing unit promotions despite him being offline for over 10 days.
