Preliminary information

Before going into the details of this tutorial and explaining how to change your name on Clash of Clans , let me explain when you can change your nickname and how many times it is possible to do so.

At the time of writing this guide, only players who have built a Level 5 (or higher) Town Hall can change their name. New users or those who have not yet reached this level, must continue to earn coins in order to improve the Town Hall of their village and reach the level indicated above.

Furthermore, it must be said that you can change your name whenever you want, but only the first change is completely free: subsequently, you can choose a new name only in exchange for gems and each new change always requires a number of gems. greater.

In light of the above, I advise you to choose your name carefully (special characters cannot be used in it), making sure not to use an offensive or inappropriate nickname. In this case, the Supercell staff (the company that developed Clash of Clans) could change the name to their liking without providing any compensation.

Changing your name on Clash of Clans for the first time

The procedure for changing your name on Clash of Clans for the first time is quick and easy. All you have to do is start the game, access the settings and start the procedure to enter the new name you intend to use.

To proceed, start the Clash of Clans app, wait for your game to load and, first of all, tap on the Town Hall of your village, to verify that you have reached at least level 5. If not, if you have enough coins to increase its level, press the Upgrade button until you reach the level indicated above. If, on the other hand, you don’t have enough coins, keep playing to get new coins or go to the Resources section of the Clash of Clans shop to buy coins in exchange for gems.

As soon as you have reached level 5 of the Town Hall, to change your name, press the gear wheel icon at the bottom right to access the game settings, then tap on the Show item relating to the Other settings option and , in the new screen that appears, locate the Other Settings section .

Then press the Change name button , enter the new nickname you want to use in the Enter the new name field (making sure you respect the rules relating to names I mentioned earlier) and press the Continue button . At this point, re-enter the name in the Re- enter the new name field , tap the Continue button and confirm your intention, typing the Confirm command in the appropriate field and pressing the OK button .

If everything went well, your new name will immediately be visible in the top left, above the bar indicating the level of play reached, and there will be no trace of your old nickname.

Change name on Clash of Clans for the second time

If you are wondering if it is possible to  change your name on Clash of Clans for the second time , the answer is yes. In fact, as mentioned above, it is allowed to change one’s name several times in exchange for gems and the procedure is almost identical to what is indicated in the paragraphs dedicated to changing one’s name for the first time .

To change your name on Clash of Clans again, start the game, access its Settings (by tapping on the gear wheel icon ) and press the Show button under the Other settings item . In the new screen that appears, tap the Change name button to view the number of gems needed to complete the operation.

If the gems at your disposal are not enough to change your name for the second time, it will be useful to know that you can get them for free either by completing objectives or by participating in special events that offer gems as rewards. In addition, on some occasions, you will also be able to find new gems by clearing trees and rocks or by opening the chest of gems that will sometimes appear in your village.

Alternatively, you can buy gems from the Clash of Clans shop: to do so, press on the Shop item at the bottom right, access the Treasure section by tapping on the gems icon and, in the new screen displayed, make sure you have Gems tab selected .

Then choose the option of your interest among Handful of gems (80 gems for € 1.09), Pile of gems (500 gems for € 5.49), Bag of gems (1,200 gems for € 10.99), Sack of gems (2,500 gems for 21.99 euros), Box of gems (6,500 gems for 54.99 euros) and Case of gems (14,000 gems for 109.99 euros) and complete the purchase via Google Play or iTunes.

As soon as you have reached the number of gems needed to change your name on Clash of Clans, access the game settings , press the Show item relating to the Other settings option and tap the Change name button .

Then press on the number of gems needed to change the name, enter your nickname in the fields Enter the new name and Re- enter the new name and press the Continue button , then type the Confirm command in the appropriate field and confirm your intention, by tapping the OK button .

It will be useful to know that you can change your name as many times as you want, but each new change will require more and more gems.

In case of doubts or problems

If you have followed the instructions I have given you in the previous paragraphs in detail but, despite this, you have encountered problems that have prevented you from changing your name, I suggest you access the support section of Clash of Clans to try to solve your problems in complete autonomy.

To do this, start Clash of Clans, wait for your village to load and press the gear wheel icon , in order to access the game settings . In the new screen displayed, press the Help and assistance button at the bottom left to access the Help section , indicate the problem you encountered in the Describe your problem field and tap on the result of your interest.

If, on the other hand, you prefer to contact Supercell support directly, access the Help and Support section of Clash of Clans and click on the Contact Us option at the top right. In the new screen that appears, describe your issue in the Enter your message field and tap on the paper airplane icon to send the message and start the conversation.
