Getting Started (First 24 Hours)

Your top priority is to follow the chapter missions and complete them as fast as possible. But here are some extra tips to speed up your progress:

Upgrade your Town Center ASAP – it unlocks new buildings and troops.
Train troops non-stop – never let your Training Camps sit idle.
Join an active alliance – you get protection, buffs, and help for buildings & research.
Do Intel Missions & Suppress battles – they give you hero shards.
Don’t waste time gathering yet – early missions give tons of resources, so wait until Day 2 or 3 to start gathering.
Save your Recruitment Hero Keys until you have 10 – using the 10x option gives you a better chance to get full heroes, even Mythic ones, instead of just shards.

Second Character (Farm)

How to farm with a F2P second account?

Once you have set up a second account using the option:

Profile -> Settings -> Characters

Work your way through the starter missions until you can join an alliance (or your alliance farm).

Now comes the easy steps:

Don’t stop making troops until you can fill all your farming rallies.
Remember you can only loot from your main what you gather farming or raided from another player only.
Try not upgrade your storehouse if you can, will help you later.
Work your way to level 13 for the 3rd free gathering rally on the research center (it might take a while but is so worth it).
Don’t be afraid to spend gems you have earned this character isn’t for saving them.
Upgrading regimental expansion on research center will help you gather more resources.
When raiding your farm send out all troops first to a farming location, you may need to send more than the recommendation to empty the farm.
Optional , if you upgrade all your houses and fill your mines (ie Quarry) this will get you 100 gems a day if you need to put out the fires.
Don’t forget to repair the barricade if it gets to zero or probably will randomly teleport your farm.
Move your farm close by your main base for easy hitting (also the best farm tiles are close by level6,7,8).
After you have raided yourself you can use the merchant to get rid of the locked resources.
If you start an upgrade and cancel it (click on upgrade, details cancel) the resources used is lootable.

Following these simple steps, you should be able to have 3 or 4 gathering rallies running 3 times a day collecting 6-18 million food, wood, coal of iron.

Govenor Gear

Govenor Gear is unlocked at Town Center Lv. 22. Each piece of gear increases your attack and defense stats:

Wreath & Charmstone: Cavalry
Garb & Gaiters: Infantry
Lament & Shortstaff: Archers.

You will also receive bonuses for having 3 pieces and six pieces at or above a given quality. At this time, gold 3* is the highest gear level possible but I expect this to change to gold T6 3* relatively soon as those levels are listed for points in out 2nd Hall of Govenors.

Batch Healing Technique

Heal Your Troops Faster with Batch Healing!

In the game KingShot, your units take damage during fights at locations such as Sanctuaries, Fortresses, the King’s Castle, and Kingdom vs Kingdom events. When this occurs, you should restore their health quickly.

Instead of restoring the health of all damaged units at the same time, consider restoring the health of smaller groups of units. This allows you to use instant-heal actions more frequently with assistance from your alliance.

How to Use:

Your alliance members can help speed up your troop healing time. To make the most of this, you should only heal as many troops as your alliance can instantly help with.

Finding Your Ideal Batch Size:

Check your Embassy building to see your “Timer Help Duration & Helps” numbers
Start by trying to heal troops that take about 1 hour to recover
If you have an active alliance with many online members, you might be able to handle 2-3 hour batches

Example:

If you have a level 28 Embassy, you get 39 Timer Helps
Each help reduces healing time by 4 minutes and 1 second
This gives you a total possible reduction of 2 hours and 36 minutes
So keep each healing batch under 2 hours and 36 minutes for instant healing

Try different batch sizes to find what works best with your specific alliance activity level.

FAQ

How to find your construction speed boost?

Click on your power and scroll to the bottom.

What is Double Time?

Double Time is a decree increasing construction speed by 20%. It can be found in your Court of Justice and should be enabled for all major builds.

The attack time is 3 times? What does that mean?

This is the screen for applying to the sanctuary. Three different alliances each select a time slot, and the time slot chosen by the majority becomes the final decision. The sanctuary will open at that decided time. The final time will be announced at 0 UTC.

What is the advantage of upgrading low-tier troops to higher tier instead of training new ones?

You can upgrade more troops in a batch than you can just by training them. For me, for example, I can upgrade a little more than 600 troops, but I can only train a bit more than 500 troops at a time.

How to deal with Bear Trap?

When starting a rally, use your three strongest heroes.
When joining rallies, use Chenko as your lead hero. If joining multiple rallies, send no heroes to the others if you don’t need them to increase troop capacity (Chenko and Amadeus are the only attack rally joiners at this time).
- Chenko is used because she increases lethality, which is the most important stat for the bear trap.
If you can fill all marches, prioritize Marksmen, then Lancers, then Infantry, as Marksmen have the highest lethality. Send 100% Marksmen for all marches if possible.
