Beginner’s Survival Guide
Welcome to the Kingdom! Follow these five rules to grow fast without becoming a target.
1. The "Golden Rule" of ResourcesNever open resource chests in your inventory unless you are about to spend them. Attackers can only steal "loose" resources in your city. If they stay in chest form, they are 100% safe.
2. Follow the "Hero Tasks"Don't build random structures early on. Follow the Quest Line (bottom left). These provide the exact resources and speed-ups needed to reach City Level 10 quickly.
3. Join an Active Clan ImmediatelyBeing "Clanless" makes you a target. A clan provides Shields,Help Taps (reduces timers), and Clan Chests full of gold and speed-ups.
4. Focus on "Economy" Research FirstBefore building a massive army, upgrade your Academy research for Construction Speed andResource Production. Fast early growth enables powerful late-game troops.
5. Keep Your Hero BusyYour Hero should never be idle. If not fighting monsters, they should be gathering resources on the map. This earns Hero XP and unlocks powerful talents.
The "1.8x Stacking" Quick Start
The secret to winning battles against monsters much stronger than you by "tricking" them into hitting your cheap troops.
The Magic Formula
1.812
Each lower-tier troop layer must have slightly more total health than the layer above it.
How to build your first stack
Step 1: Select Damage DealersExample: You have 1,000 G4 Archers.
Step 2: Calculate your ShieldMultiply your primary count by 1.812: 1,000 × 1.812 = 1,812.
Step 3: Add the ShieldSend 1,812 G3 Archers to act as the shield. Repeat the math for G2 troops if you want a second layer.
Why this works:
Because the G3 stack has more total Health (HP) than the G4 stack, the Monster will spend its first turn killing the G3s. This gives your G4s a "free" round to attack without taking a single scratch!
Pro Tip: Always put your Mercenaries and Monsters at the very bottom of your march list. They should be the last ones to take damage.
