At a glance

Tier 9+

With tier 9 soldiers or higher, keep your wall full. Below that, leave it empty.

1 + 3

One squad stays home to defend, the other three attack.

~150

soldiers per healing batch: small batches heal fast, nonstop for the whole fight.

Manning your wall or not

Strong lords keep troops on the wall so nobody gets a free hit. Weaker lords just lose their troops there. If you don't have tier 9 soldiers yet, leave your wall empty, unless you are sure you are stronger than everyone nearby.

Reacting to who is coming

When your wall is manned, look at who is attacking:

The attacker is…What to do
Your size or weakerHold the wall
Slightly strongerKeep the wall manned and heal nonstop
Much strongerTeleport away

A job for each squad

1

Squad 1: home

It stays in the Castle to defend it. Only send it out for a target worth it, such as a level 27+ lord.

2

Squads 2 to 4: attack

They do the hitting. If they take damage, your defense stays intact.

Healing and protecting your wounded

Reading the map markers

During kingdom fights, the color of a castle's marker helps you pick targets. As a rule: blue is your alliance, white is other players from your kingdom, yellow and red are players from an enemy kingdom.
