The min and max level listed above, is the min or max level to be
assigned a given specialist type. After your type is assigned,
level has no effect, and players may level up above the max.

• A specialist uses certain rules for battle, similar to the King of the Mountain events.
  
  
• For example, if someone is a 20-Ton-Max specialist, their battles will only use Mechs 20 Tons and under.
  
  
• Clan leaders can assign any clan member as a "specialist" once registration begins.
  
  
• Any clan-war attacks on a specialist will be fought under the rules of that specialist.
  
  
• Defender always sets the rules.
  
  
• Specialist rules only apply for battles that are part of an official Clan War.
  
  
• Clan specialists will be locked when signups close and divisions are announced.
  Clan leaders can change specialists until then (even if the clan membership is locked).
  
  
• Multiple members of the same clan can have the same specialty.
  
  
• Not everyone has to be a specialist.
          Anyone who is not, will defend with normal "unlimited" battles.
  
  
• During a war, specialist types will be publicly visible to everyone.
  
  
• After attacking someone in a clan war, you cannot be attacked in that clan war for 90 seconds
  In the final hour of each battle, this will be reduced to 45 seconds.
  Rarely, there are space-time fluctuations during the first 2 hours of a battle.
  Rarely, fast-counter-attacks slip in through these fluctuations.
  Begining with Faction Wars 3, these attacks will be counted.
  
  
• Available formations have been increased to 26.
  
  

FAQ:

Defender sets the rules

• Q: How do specialists work?
  
• A: Defender sets the rules.
  
  
• Q: What if the defender is not a specialist?
  
• A: Then the combat will be a normal, "unlimited" battle.
  
  
• Q: What if the defender is a 20 Ton specialist?
  
• A: Then the battle will only use 20 ton mechs from either side.
  
  
• Q: If a Laser Specialist attacks a 20 Ton specialist, do they get their laser bonus?
  
  
• A: No. Defender sets the rules. Both combatants will fight under the rules of the Defender, the attacker's specialist type does not affect the combat.
  
  
• Q: Can a level 60 player attack a "630 Ton Total" specialist (which has a max level of 49)? What happens?
  A: Yes. Defender sets the rules. Both players will fight with a maximum of 630 tons. If you have more tons in your current formation, the game will stop loading mechs at 630 tons.
  
  
• Q: If I attack a 10 ton specialist, but I am not using any 10 ton mechs, what happens?
  A: You will attack with zero mechs and lose the fight. Defender sets the rules. Any mechs that don't fit the rules will not enter combat. Like the KOTMs.
  
  
• Q: So the defender's specialist type is all that matters?
  A: Correct.
  
  
• Q: How does the game know what specialist type I am?
  A: Clan leaders will set Specialist Types before the tournament begins. Types will be locked for the duration of the tournament.
  
  
• Q: If I change my lineup, does my specialist type change?
  A: No. Your type is set and locked before Battle One begins. Your type will not change for the duration of the tournament, regardless of your lineup.
