The Personal Pause in Clash Of Clans is a feature that allows you to take a break in the game without the worry of being attacked by other players. During this period, your villages will be protected and cannot be looted. Find out how to make the most of this option to optimize your gaming strategy.
What happens when Personal Pause is activated?
For a short period of 6 minutes, other players will have the chance to attack you and loot your resources such as gold and elixir. However, if during those 6 minutes you are not attacked or if you are attacked but fail to obtain protective shields, you will receive a Village Guard that will allow you to continue playing for another 30 minutes.
Once those additional 30 minutes have passed, you will again have a personal break of 6 minutes. If you again suffer no attacks or cannot obtain shields, you will be given another 30 minutes of play and a new 6 minute break.
Upon completion of these 3 6-minute pauses, the «Personal Pause» counter will be reset and you will be able to resume the game normally for 3 more hours.
How to finish Personal Breaks faster?
If you can't wait those 6 minutes, you can force it to finish in less time. For example, if personal pause starts but you get a shield, that will reset the game time.
Also, if the pause is activated and you are left without connection at least 15 minutes, that is, without a shield, without a village guard, time will be reset there.
When you buy a village guard, this will give your accountant 2 hours before your next personal break.
