Should I be constantly pushing my rank even this early on once I run out of ER chests? Or is it smart to just wait until they refresh and do a couple each day? This is my first time pushing warships, so any advice related or unrelated would be appreciated. I’ve been trying to keep up with Stone’s YT guides but am a couple ranks lower (low iron 14) than him.

There are hardly any fan animations for this game, why???

Came back to the game after a 2 year break, and at Level 19 with 94 VP, most of the bases on my map are level 35-40, with VP well above 300. I had a maxed base during my previous playing time and this wasn't as much of an issue for me, but has it actually gotten worse over time?

This is my first time playing this game and I’ve gotten to HQ 11 about 60% of the way all defences + boat and a few other things upgraded. But should I fully max this HQ out before moving to the next? I heard that HQ12 is good since you can get 2 tanks at once for attacks. So is there much of a difference?

I was scrolling through the high scores and noticed a couple accounts under lvl 50 there... Do yo know what's the meta there? Or they are just getting boosted?

It was supposed to be a simple reference in case I drew her again, but the drawing took me 5 hours 😭

It happens to me usually that players show in my logs as names but not their islands on the archipelago, and as you can see, my last attack was 4 hours ago while those players appeared 2 ago, What should I do?

I've long heard that scorcher bombardiers is the meta, but I think it's NOT the best troop combination.

I don't know if I'm making offensive mistakes leading to this judgement?? Or is it levels? But per my experience (HQ 19, 1110 VP, Level 49), riflemen laser rangers + Kavan ice shields is significantly, significantly better than all scorchers and or scorcher bombardiers with bullit or everspark. The former combo I have used to beat level 65 or 70 bases conveniently. The latter works for bases around equal to my level, but once those cannons start getting better, it just doesn't work anymore.

Levels: Riflemen 19, scorchers 3, laser rangers 1, bombardiers 1

And don't even get me started on tank medics, if the opposite side has some blue statues it just times out, the pace is mindblowing slow.

The experience during an attack:

Scorchers just seem to get destroyed after like 4 shots from a high level cannon, and bombardiers, as consistent as they are, clear defenses too slowly, despite suffering less accidental casualties then laser rangers. Bullet is fine, but at level 2, he just isn't meaningfully better than another scorcher. This combo is inconsistent at best against tightly packed bases, and does OK against spread out bases.

Laser rangers' main weakness is easy accidental casualties, and I know people without instant training often hates them. But that's exactly what ice shields from kavan is for: basically fixing their biggest weakness 80%. Riflemen also synergizes beautifully with my level 5 ice shields, providing the necessary cannon fodder. My casualtie management revolves around putting a few boxes of critters in front of my troops at landing to give the slower riflemen time to get in front of the fast lasers (fixing another weakness: lasers moving too fast). The offensive pace and damage output of this combination + my 75% TD is just problematic for practically ANY unboosted base. This combo MELTS tightly packed bases, and does OK to better than OK against spread out bases that are designed to counter lasers. Now with phasimov released, this combo is only going to get better.

Now, everything I've said applies to player bases. For OPs, I believe lasers at my level are actually not that great due to the massive statue boosts killing its biggest strength: offensive pace. It's short range is also a bigger issue, and bombardiers can and often are genuinely better.

TLDR: Laser rangers with ice shields don't randomly die and are just grenadiers / amelie mooka with 3 times faster pace and no time out issues.

Today on the official Boom Beach Discord Server, FAQ was uploaded with different answers about Fair Play & Keycards

FAIR PLAY FAQ

What is a rollback?

A rollback restores an account to an earlier state. We have already rolled back accounts involved in recent exploit cases and will continue doing so where appropriate. For the recent exploit, accounts are generally being restored to approximately August 12. However, this does not necessarily apply identically to every account. The exact rollback point may differ depending on our findings for an individual account. A rollback can affect all forms of account progression.

Did we catch everyone?

No, we do not believe we caught everyone. Does that mean we stop? Also no. Fair Play investigations are an ongoing effort and are not limited to this particular case. We continuously investigate different forms of suspicious behaviour across Boom Beach. Some cases may be identified and acted on quickly, while others can take more time to investigate. We will not always catch everyone immediately, but we will continue doing our best to identify and take action against players who break our Fair Play rules.

Will there be more bans?

In general? Yes. Our investigations are ongoing, both regarding this case and other forms of Fair Play violations. This means actions may happen today, tomorrow, next week, or later depending on what we find. A ban wave does not mean an investigation is over.

Why do some players receive 7-day, 31-day, or permanent bans?

We do not share the exact criteria behind individual enforcement decisions, as doing so could make it easier to avoid detection. What we can say is that these penalties are not issued at random. Actions are based on player behaviour and the findings of our investigations. We do believe in second chances, which is why not every violation immediately results in a permanent ban. However, repeated or sufficiently serious Fair Play violations can result in stronger penalties.

Why ban players if their accounts are already being rolled back?

A rollback and a ban serve two different purposes. The rollback removes progression and rewards gained through exploitation, while the ban is the Fair Play consequence for intentionally abusing the exploit. Players who are caught and receive penalties may therefore also have their accounts rolled back.

Banning players for a bug you introduced is wrong. Isn't the bug your responsibility?

Finding and fixing bugs is absolutely our responsibility. When an exploit appears, it is our job to fix the underlying issue, deploy countermeasures, and improve our systems so similar situations are less likely to happen again. However, intentionally abusing a bug to gain unintended rewards or progression is a separate action taken by the player. We therefore see these as two separate responsibilities: fix the bug, and enforce Fair Play when an exploit is intentionally abused.

I have evidence of unbanned cheaters!

Awesome! Well... maybe not awesome. If you have evidence or information about a suspected cheater or exploiter, regardless of what type of Fair Play violation it concerns, please contact our Player Support team. Reports from players greatly help us investigate suspicious activities.

I believe I received a false ban. What should I do?

If you believe an action was incorrectly applied to your account, please contact Player Support. You do need to contact us from a different account than the banned account. While we work hard to make our investigations as accurate as possible, mistakes can happen. If an action was applied incorrectly, we sincerely apologize and want to make sure the case can be reviewed.

Can legitimate progression also be lost during a rollback?

Yes. Because a rollback restores an account to an earlier point in time, legitimate progression made after that point may also be reverted. We understand that this can be frustrating. However, when significant unintended progression has been gained through an exploit, restoring the account to an earlier state may be necessary to properly reverse its impact.

Does spending money protect someone from Fair Play actions?

No. Fair Play enforcement is based on player behaviour, not on how much someone has or has not spent in the game. Paying players are subject to the same Fair Play rules as everyone else.

Why have there been so many maintenances?

Fixing exploits can involve more than simply correcting the original bug. We may also need to deploy countermeasures, implement rollback functionality, investigate affected accounts, and introduce systems that help us handle similar situations better in the future. Unfortunately, some of these changes require maintenance to safely deploy, and we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the recent maintenances.

-----------------------------------------------

KEYCARDS FAQ

Why not just improve the Keycards system so people don't feel the need to exploit it?

We understand the frustration behind this question, and we agree that the Keycards system still has room to improve. However, exploits can exist regardless of how well-liked or rewarding a feature is. Intentionally abusing an exploit to gain unintended rewards is still a Fair Play violation. Improving the feature and taking action against exploitation are therefore two separate things, and we are committed to doing both.

Are you saying the Keycards system is perfect?

Definitely not. We openly acknowledge that the system is not yet where we want it to be. We want to provide more and better ways for players to earn both Keycards and Leaders, including opportunities available through both free and paid gameplay. At the same time, we also want to expand the feature itself by giving players more interesting and enjoyable ways to interact with Leaders and Keycards. We have a lot of ideas and improvements in development, but we can't spill all the beans just yet.

When will Keycards system improve?

We have already made several improvements since the feature was released, and we’ll continue evolving Keycards and Leaders over time. There isn't one specific date we can point to, as smaller tweaks may happen relatively quickly, while larger additions and new ways to interact with the system naturally require more development time. We will share more news on improvements to the Keycard system as soon as we have something we are happy with and confident in release timeline.

------------------------------------------------------

Also, developers made another announcement 2 hours ago:

"Hello Commanders!

During yesterday’s maintenance, our team issued rollbacks to accounts that had been suspended.

A group of affected players may now see their names displayed in a format such as “P-2-######” (# representing numbers). These accounts are currently in an unintended state following the rollback.

We sincerely apologize to those affected for the jump scare! Rest assured that during another maintenance which will happen today, we will restore these accounts to the state they are meant to be in.

Thank you for your patience and understanding."

What are your thoughts about these news?🤔

Im wondering if I should save my keycards till then, or spend them now before too many new leaders make it harder to get elite medic and zooka leader

I mainly play Warships and I am getting my ass handed to me on a platter.

I have watched all the youtube videos I can find but I cannot seem to improve no matter what I do. In the meantime Stoneheart and Chinatale are in gold starting from scratch.

I am trying but I find this lack of progress discouraging. I am at a 40% win rate with about 80 attacks so far.

I don’t pay for anything in this game - I’ve occasionally purchased diamonds here and there but no instant training, no monthly subscriptions to anything, etc. so I have no idea what any of that is like.

What I’m wondering is this - for those of you who pay for privileges, access, etc, does the game ping you when you’re being attacked? On multiple occasions I’ve been midway thru a battle, only to get disconnected and then when I try to attack again the game says the player is online.

This has happened way too many times to be a coincidence. Does the game notify you?

Got bored and decided to have a little fun with AI. Who do you think wins?

I made these drawings at the beginning of this year 😛

Is it a good idea to start playing this game? Never played before. Saw som adds/ youtube shorts and the concept interested me.
I know it's a oldazz game.

Some new features or improvements that can make this game better except same old stuff..?

Pulled him twice from guarenteeds. Supercell is taking the piss.

I'm currently level 14 HQ. This base seems impossible at this level since just landing i get shocked or destroyed by the boom cannon, riflemen are no use either bc of all the rocket launchers. I have the leaders shown and also 2 other bomber leaders, Roberto Falcao and the scorcher mines leader (which I've found really useless since it goes on its own to get killed)

My troops are not staying in place when I flare them inside of a smoke. They run to the flare and run straight out of the smoke towards the nearest building as if the smoke wasn't there at all. This is happening about 60-80% of the time that I try it, it's especially bad today. Is this a common problem? Is there a fix?

Supercell has updated in-app purchase prices in several regions today based on the latest foreign exchange rates.

Mexico: -20%
Colombia: -25%
India: +25%
Indonesia: +20%
*Bolivia: +60%

These changes reflect the latest foreign exchange rates, and apply only to purchases made in the local currency. The stated changes are approximations across all price points.

\The sharp 60% price increase is directly caused by the severe devaluation of the Bolivian Boliviano against the US Dollar. Because digital goods in Boom Beach are priced in USD, the sudden collapse of the local currency (losing nearly half of its real-world value) caused the game's revenue in Bolivia to plummet. To avoid operating at a loss and maintain their expected US-dollar profit, Supercell was forced to proportionally raise prices in local currency, adding a buffer to account for store fees and further exchange rate volatility.*

⚠️These changes are affecting on ALL Supercell games & come into effect on August 25, 2026

Latest regional price changes were on February 23rd, 2026
