Changing Factions

CAUTION: All nanobots will be lost after switching factions. Make this decision with strong determination.

It is possible to change factions after joining another faction. To do this, go to Settings in the app and select Switch Faction. This will open up the Portal, which will show you what your current status as a player is (# of active bots, # of zones impacted, # of zone leads, and # of zone captures). It will also show you any previous faction switches you might have had.

Consequences
Switching factions has major consequences. If you switch factions, all of your bots will SELF-DESTRUCT. You will also lose the capture and leadership of any zones you currently hold. Your lifetime captures will not be affected. You will also retain your earned experience, level, formations, qredits, cubes, and upgrades.

Below Level 100
If you are still completing the training levels and have not reached Level 100, you may switch factions as often as you like to find the faction that suits you best.

Above Level 100
Once you have reached Level 100, switching factions has rewards, but also additional consequences. Defection will result in a demotion in rank. This is accomplished through medals with negative rank points. These are one-time medals, and can't be won multiple times with multiple faction changes. Once you have switched factions, you will need to wait at least 60 days before you can switch factions again. If you earn all three faction-changing medals, the 60 day requirement goes away and you can switch factions as often as you like.
