up to 7 players → 1 group

up to 13 players → 2 groups

Infantry beats Cavalry (Infantry does 10% extra damage to Cavalry)

Cavalry beat Archer (Cavalry do 10% extra damage to Archer)

Amane's first expedition skill

Chenko's first expedition skill

Expedition skills and Exclusive Skills interact differently. Expedition skills are additive, while Exclusive Skills (from widgets) can be both additive and multiplicative

Use the Battle Simulator to test different hero combinations and troop formations to find your ideal setup

Mythic Heroes get 3 expedition skills, while Epic Heroes only get 2. That one extra skill makes a big difference

Attack/Rally lineup → Widget should boost Rally stats

If you want better rewards, focus on Skill 2 and Skill 3 (more Mithril and Gear Chests)

If you want better rankings and performance, focus on Skill 1 and Skill 4

Stay at TG5 and keep converting Truegold into Truegold Dust for War Academy research

Push to TG8 and use Truegold for important building upgrades

Bear is made up of 5000 special infantry troops with 10 Defense and 83.33 Health each

Bear Battles last 10 turns, unlike normal battles that go until all troops on one side are dead

Zoe: +240% Infantry Attack/Defense

Alcar: +370% Infantry Attack/Defense

You can perform up to 100 super refinements per week

The count resets every Monday

Match the only kingshot hero tier list you actually need decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

In Kingshot, every hero has a different role. Some are great for attacking, some are strong at defending, and others are better as joiners. Most websites put all heroes into one single ti...

If you want to spend just a little but still make a difference in your progress, these packs are the best options

If you're willing to spend a bit more for better growth and power, consider these packs along with low-spender packs mentioned above

For Garrison, choose defender heroes like Gordon, as his first skill can boost the health of all Garrison troops by up to 25%

Rallies are a big deal in Kingshot because they matter in both PVP (Player vs Player) and PVE (Player vs Environment) battles. Knowing how they work helps you pick the right heroes for ea...

Join rallies instead of leading them. Since your stats won't be strong enough to lead rallies or garrisons, your goal should be to become a good rally joiner

Research smartly. Focus on the right research paths in the Academy so you don't waste time on things that don't really matter

Each member can contribute 1 joiner skill

Only the first 4 members who join with a maxed first skill get counted

Attack and Lethality have the same impact since they multiply together. That means Lethality isn't stronger or more important than Attack — both matter equally

Your Attack × Lethality is divided by the enemy's Defense × Health, so the old idea that "Attack reduces Defense" and "Lethality reduces Health" was completely wrong

Use Common Taming Marks for lower rarities (Gray, Green) since it's easier to get good results early on

Once you hit higher rarities (Blue and above), start using Advanced Taming Marks because they offer a better chance at getting positive stats

First, there's 3 minutes of prep

Gen 1: Amadeus, Jabel, Saul

Below is the map for the Tri-Alliance Clash event. Use it to get familiar with the battlefield and plan strategies with your alliance. View the full-resolution map here

Match tri-alliance clash map decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

The first rally should be an attack lineup. By Gen 3, the best attack heroes are Amadeus, Petra, and Marlin

The second rally, launched about 5 seconds later, should be a garrison lineup with Eric, Jaeger, and Hilde (best garrison heroes by Gen 3)

Don't waste your upgrades on heroes you barely use

Always double-check which hero gear affects which stat before upgrading, and use the above priority list to decide your upgrades

Only the Top 20 alliances (based on Alliance Power before the event starts) can participate

Each alliance can register two Legions. Each Legion includes 30 main fighters and 10 substitutes

Bear Hunt → 10% Infantry, 10% Cavalry, 80% Archers

Alliance Championship → 50% Infantry, 20% Cavalry, 30% Archers

Troop Training vs. Promotion

Infirmary Capacity

Match events calendar decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

This Kingshot events calendar shows all the major upcoming events like Kingdom of Power, Strongest Governor, Alliance Championship, Alliance Mobilization, Vikings' Vengeance, All Out, Swo...

Your HQ (Plains HQ is preferred)

If you lose two battles, Vikings stop attacking you, but you can still earn points by reinforcing allies

Match when to replace your archer hero in kingshot decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

A lot of players often wonder when they should replace their Archer heroes (in a march or rally) with the newer generation heroes in Kingshot, especially at what star level it makes sense

Cavalry Attack/Defense

Match when to replace your cavalry hero in kingshot decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

Infantry Attack/Defense

Match when to replace your infantry hero in kingshot decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

Hall of Governors 2 and up

Armament Competition Event

Ask all alliance members to sign up in the same lane during registration

There's a theory that when everyone registers in one lane, the game gives you easier opponents

If you don't have many gems, aim for 5 spins

If you've saved up a bit more, go for 15 spins or more

Zoom out and scan the map

If your area looks too crowded, teleport to a better spot (when the battle begin) where it'll be easier to find and kill guards early on

Attack: 50% Infantry, 30% Archers, 20% Cavalry

Defense: 60% Infantry, 20% Archers, 20% Cavalry

In Gen 1, the featured hero is Saul

That's enough to take a hero from Hall of Heroes to 4 stars —and the best choice for that is Marlin in Gen 2

Whales: Focus heavily on Widgets—they're game-changers at the top level of competitive play

F2P and low spenders: Only go for Widgets in Buccaneer Bounty or Mystery Shop with a 70% discount

Match governor gear upgrade priority guide decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

I get asked this a lot in Kingshot's Discord—what's the right way to upgrade Governor Gear and what the priority should be. So I figured I'd put together a quick guide

Do daily missions and events

Use protected resources for upgrades

Ally Help Time (how many seconds each assist gives)

Ally Assists (how many assists you can get)

Match simple ways to get more gold in kingshot without spending decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

It doesn't take long to do either. Upgrading Houses also improves your Residents' mood, which helps with producing other resources too. So it's a win-win

Activate Double Time _before_ starting your upgrade

If it's on cooldown, wait it out. Sure, you might save a few hours by starting early, but waiting can save you _days_ once Double Time is ready again—totally worth it

Drill Camp has two tabs

Match drill camp explained decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

Match how to dismiss/remove troops in kingshot decisions to your server age, alliance plan, and account bottleneck

Sometimes, you might want to get rid of lower-level troops in Kingshot, maybe to free up space in the Infirmary for higher-level troops. You can easily dismiss troops from your army by fo...
