Fake Raids & Ghost Rallies in Mafia City
What Are They?
⚡ Fake Raid
A Fake Raid is when a player or clan launches a raid on a target (like a mansion or building) without the intention to actually attack. It’s usually canceled before landing.
☠ Ghost Rally
A Ghost Rally is when someone starts a rally with no troops (or a single weak troop) just to hold a target, delay it, or manipulate time/troop movement.
Why Do Players Use Them?
🧠 Confuse the Enemy
Force enemies to use buffs, teleport, or panic.
🕵️ Bait Reinforcements
Trick players into sending troops, then hit another target while they’re occupied.
🌪 Distract from Real Attacks
Spam fake raids or ghost rallies on side targets while a real hit is landing elsewhere.
📈 Scout Activity
Monitor enemy reaction time, troop types, or willingness to defend.
🚪 Hide Your Own Troops
Start fake rallies to send your troops away during enemy hits or when going offline.
How to Spot Them?

Level 10 or low-power leaders in raid.
📍 Odd Targets
Raiding inactive or tiny mansions with no reason.
⏹ Rapid Cancellation
The rally is canceled seconds before landing.
🔄 Mass Raid Launching
Multiple rallies at once—likely only one is real.
🎮 Rally with No Troops
Ghost rallies have no reinforcements or only 1 unit.
