Clan Battles are online events where a clan will wage a war against another clan in Nioh 3. Clan Battles feature two different sides randomly per week, and whoever collects the highest amount of Glory will reap the rewards at the end. Players can participate in Clan Battles after unlocking the Hidden Teahouse and talking to Matsunaga Hisahide to pledge allegiance to a clan. Most Clans are immediately available once the Hidden Teahouse is unlocked.

How to Unlock Clan Battles
Clan Battles become available when Matsunaga Hisahide sets up the Hidden Teahouse in the Eternal Rift, by progressing The Battle of Saigagake. Upon the request of Ii Naotora, you will head north, which will prompt a time travel to the Heian Period, 1190 CE. Once completed, fast travel to the Eternal Rift and go to the southeastern house to find this new NPC sitting. Talk to him to learn about Clan Battles, Clans, and Glory.

Talk to Matsunaga Hisahide to choose a clan to pledge your allegiance to. Once you return to exploration, you can challenge other players, also called Revenants, for a chance to earn Glory. If you win, you will receive Glory, which is a currency you use to buy at the Hidden Teahouse. You can also track how well your clan is doing by checking the top right corner of the menu while at the Hidden Teahouse.
Nioh 3 Clan Battles Mechanics
Clans in Nioh 3 are groups that participate in Clan Battles for a chance to earn Glory. This feature becomes available after unlocking the Hidden Teahouse in the Eternal Rift.
- Joining a clan allows you to receive a clan's Clan Protection. Acquiring Glory while allied to a clan will increase your position within that clan and enhance the Clan Protection.
- After joining a clan, you will be unable to transfer allegiance to another clan for 8 hours.
- The clan you are allied to and its Clan Protection are not particular to individual save data files, but are managed by your player account.

When engaged in a Clan Battle, each clan and its allied members are separated into Red and White camps that complete to see who earn the most Glory within the allotted time. Whichever camp ends with the most Glory will be declared victorious. The winning camp receives most of the Glory as a reward. Each clan battle's reward can only be obtained once per player account.
