Good notification settings are a small setup task with an outsized payoff — the difference between catching a time-limited event window and missing it entirely often comes down to whether you got a timely notification.
Enable notifications for genuinely time-sensitive things
Prioritize notifications for events with real, limited windows — rally warnings, event start/end times, mail with expiring rewards — over more routine notifications that don't carry the same cost if missed.
Avoid notification fatigue
Enabling every possible notification often backfires, since it trains you to ignore or dismiss them reflexively once there are too many — a more selective setup, focused on genuinely important alerts, keeps notifications meaningful rather than background noise.
Check notification settings after game updates
Update or feature changes sometimes reset or add new notification categories — a quick check of your settings after a major update ensures you haven't lost coverage on something you were previously relying on.
Combine with your routine, don't rely on notifications alone
Notifications are a helpful backstop, not a complete substitute for the regular check-in habits covered elsewhere in these guides — treat them as a safety net for anything genuinely time-critical, not your primary way of staying on top of the game.
