Kingshot beginner tips

Hi everyone especially members who may not have had a chance to keep up with all messages and are confused when you suddenly faced with an event or battle. I figured it might help to give some quick tips that I learnt:

[[[ RALLY BASICS - Difference between leading rallies and joining rallies ]]]
Rally captain get all of their heroes expedition skills as buff to the rally, while only 4 first slot heroes of rally joiners will be selected to contribute expedition skills.

Which is why for attack we always ask for chenko first hero (her first skill increase lethality which is the most important stat for killing), (yeonwo and amane are also alternatives if no chenko).

And def howard (1st skill dmg reduction) or gordon (1st skill health increase) to improve survivability.

But the MOST IMPORTANT, is to fill up rallies since we would benefit from the strongest players leading rallies, their strongest heroes all 3 skills , but also they can make a big rally size.
Example when we fought NoW, the opp garrison size was 500k, so we’d also need to fill the biggest rally capacity members by supporting them with troops to fight that big number.

[[[ BIG BATTLES TACTICS ]]]

In battles where we are fighting control over facilities like harvest altar +5% resource production speed, forager grove +5% resource gathering speed, arsenal +5% squads attack (to everyone in alliance as long as we control it), we need to be coordinated in the way we fight just like how we managed to win harvest altar .

*ATK VS DEF SWITCHING*
Learn switching btw atk and defence
When you attack either as rally captain or rally joiner, when we win control, the heroes ending up in garrison during the winning rally are attack heroes. So we need:
1. To get our defensive heroes like howard and gordon to garrison there with troops
2. Dispatch as much troops as possible

In order to this you need to do the atk-def formation switch. The moment you see that we have won control over the facility, quickly dispatch your defence hero with troops, and look at the timer of its arrival. At the moment you see it hit 5-6 secs remaining, quickly press “recall” at the garrison to recall your atk heroes and your def hero with troops will arrive just in time to the garrison. The immediately start dispatching troops to garrison to make sure that we can fill the numbers in the garrison.

*HEALING*
In big battles, never heal all troops as it takes too long. When you see the heal icon appear:
- click on it, reduce  number of troops to be healed at a time such that the healing time takes about 30 minutes
- Then click heal and click send help
You will see the healing completes fast, and then immediately dispatch newly healed troops, and continue the batch healing again, rinse and repeat.
In this way, we will always be sending a constant stre of troops to bolster the garrison and make it hard for opp to win control.

*ENEMY DOUBLE/TRIPLE LOOP ATTACK RALLIES*
In some cases opp will hit with multiple rallies in a row at garrison troops, and you will notice the number of troops that you sent decreased despite not icon to heal. At the moment the last enemy rally hit, recall troops and dispatch troops again and you will see your numbers get restored.

[[[BEAR TRAP]]]
1. Everything under Rally Basics section apply
2. Rally leaders are members with highest TC levels and consequently the highest rally capacity. They usually have the strongest heroes and buffs that rally joiners can benefit from
3. Rally joiners do the following:
- Join with your first hero either Chenko, Amane or Yeonwoo
- If you join multiple rallies and have none of those heroes, join with ZERO heroes only troops

Before Bear Trap we will confirm who are Rally leaders

[[[ Vikings Event ]]]
1. Before event an R4 will confirm your groups that you need to help to reinforce each other
2. Make sure no troops in your city
3. In Guard Station, click City Defense, and put your 3 best heroes (MAKE SURE DO NOT SEND THESE HEROES WHEN YOU REINFORCE ALLIES DURING EVENT)
4. Do not heal / Do not put out fire, we do that after end of event
5. Check the number of your march. For example if you have 4 march queues, it means you can make 4 different troop reinforcement groups. So before sending reinforcements, make sure you CLICK EQUALIZE, so that you have equal numbers to reinforce 4 different allies in your group.
6. To track what’s happening, you can click the Vikings logo (2 cross axes) on your main screen bottom > click member option at bottom right side to see (1) who has reinforcements, (2) who has burnt 2 times, (3) who reinforce you.
7. If the ally you reinforce burnt twice, recall and reinforce another ally
8. Wave 10 & 20 Vikings will attack hq so recall your troops and reinforce hq. After hq attack finish, recall and continue to reinforce allies.
