📘 [Kingshot Strategy Guide] Core Combat Tips & Battle Fundamentals
A solid understanding of battle mechanics is key to dominating in Kingshot.
Here’s a breakdown of essential strategies and rules every player should know:
3️⃣ Solo vs Rally Battles – Defense is Stronger
In general, defending is much more advantageous than attacking.
-
Unless attackers have a 2–3 tier power advantage, the defending side usually wins.
📌 Power Difference Guidelines:
-
Solo attacks are only efficient when the attacker is 3+ tiers stronger.
-
Rally attacks need at least 2-tier advantage to be cost-effective.
3-1️⃣ Event Buildings – Siege Attacks Recommended
For event structures like Castles, Turrets, and Fortresses, siege attacks are more effective.
-
Siege allows rapid consecutive rallies, putting pressure on defenders.
-
Defenders struggle to get reinforcements in time, making it difficult to hold the building.
3-2️⃣ Chain Attacks – Break Defense with 2 Coordinated Rallies
-
Two rally leaders can coordinate chain rallies to break down castle defenses.
-
If the defender doesn’t have a 2-tier advantage, they'll likely fall to consecutive hits.
-
📛 If defenders fail to switch heroes, their risk of collapse increases dramatically.
4️⃣ Hero & Gear Switching – Critical in SvS
During siege-to-defense transitions:
-
The rally leader must recall their troops, switch to defensive heroes, and then re-enter the building.
-
Keeping siege heroes active while defending leads to heavy losses.
5️⃣ Defense Rally Leader Rules – Auto Assignment System
In defensive rallies:
-
The system automatically assigns the rally leader based on highest combat power among participants.
📌 This allows for fake rally leader tactics, where a high-capacity, low-power player joins first to confuse the enemy.
📘 Building Occupation Rule – 1 Player = 1 Building
Kingshot enforces a “1 Player, 1 Building” rule during occupation-based events like Castle or Turret battles.
Understanding this mechanic is crucial for alliance coordination.
🔸 One Building Per Player (Real-Time Restriction)
-
A player can only send troops to one event building at a time.
-
Example: If you’re in a Turret rally, you cannot join a Castle rally at the same time.
-
This applies across all rallyable buildings.
🔸 Movement Counts as Participation
-
Even if your troops are just marching toward a building,
➤ You still can’t join another until they arrive or return. -
Attempting to do so triggers the system message:
“Each player may only join one building at a time.”
🔸 Once Troops Arrive, You Can Reinforce Freely
-
After your troops have arrived and joined the building,
➤ You may send reinforcements freely to that same building. -
But still, you can’t participate in any other building until you leave the current one.
📌 Quick Summary
✅ You can only participate in one building (Castle/Turret) at a time
❌ Can’t be in two buildings at once
❌ Can’t send reinforcements to another building while marching
✅ Once your troops arrive, you can freely reinforce that same building
This core strategy guide is perfect for new players and alliances preparing for Server vs Server wars or major alliance battles.
Apply these principles and you’ll gain a significant edge in both offense and defense!
