🎯 Kingshot Beginner’s Guide (Part 3): Best Heroes to Focus On & How Rally Buffs Really Work
✍️ Intro
Welcome back to the Ten x Won guide series!
In Part 2, we talked about rushing your Town Center and winning short-term events.
Today, let’s get into one of the most confusing (but important) topics: Heroes.
We’ll cover which ones to focus on, how their skills work, and how rally buffs are applied.
[6] You Can’t Raise Everyone – Choose Your Heroes Wisely
In Kingshot, you can’t upgrade every hero — especially if you’re F2P or low spender.
So you need to prioritize, and that means choosing heroes based on function and synergy.
🔍 Hero Types:
-
R heroes (green) = Gathering & Production
-
SR heroes (blue) = Budget-friendly combat units
-
SSR heroes (purple) = Stronger stats + exclusive gear, but harder to build
🎯 For early game, focus on:
-
Chenco (Siege)
-
Gordon or Howard (Defense)
-
Diana (Mobility & Beast Hunting)
👉 Pro Tip: Your goal is to get SR heroes to 4★ and level their 1st skill to Lv.5.
That’s the best cost-efficiency zone for low spenders.
[7] Skill Slots Matter – Don’t Ignore the Icons
Every hero has two skill sets:
-
Left-side skills = PvP & Arena
-
Right-side skills = Marches, defense, rallies, and beast hunting
🎯 Use left-side skills for:
-
Arena (PvP vs players)
🎯 Use right-side skills for:
-
Field combat, rallies, and defending your castle
👉 Pro Tip: Rally buffs only apply based on very specific rules. So read on...
[8] Rally Buffs Explained (No, It’s Not All Shared)
Rally mechanics in Kingshot are unique.
Here’s how buffs are actually applied in a rally:
⚔️ Rally Leader (Host):
-
Their Lord gear, Hero gear, and Hero skills (ALL 3 heroes) apply to the whole rally
-
That’s why whales should host rallies
🧙 Rally Members:
-
Only their 1st hero’s 1st skill applies (and only if it's high-level)
-
Among all rally members, the 4 highest-level 1st skills are chosen to apply
⛔ Their gear & other skills don’t affect the whole rally — just their own personal stats
👉 Pro Tip: As a rally member, your most important job is to:
-
Use a strong SR hero (4★)
-
Max out their 1st skill (Lv.5)
-
Bring high-tier troops
That's all you can realistically do as a low spender — and it still matters!
