Newcomers cannot instantly join the guild battle and have to wait until the start of the next round. These players are separated from other guildmates in a special section of the leaderboard. The activity of every newcomer is recorded in the Multiplicator.

Although newcomers miss their first battle, they still receive guild upgrade bonuses. They are also counted as members of the guild (a guild cannot have more than 25 members, including newcomers).

Exceptions: 

• A player who joins a guild for the first time ever will count as a full-fledged guildmate.
• If there are less than 5 members in a guild, a newcomer will count as a full-fledged guildmate.
