Before the five prep days start, there’s a 2-day matchmaking window.
Here’s what happens and how to prepare:

🕑 How Matchmaking Works

• The system compares your kingdom’s top 100 players’ total power to find a fair opponent.
• It also checks kingdom generation and age so older, stronger kingdoms don’t face much newer ones.
• Once the match is locked, your opponent’s banner will appear — and preparation begins.

🎯 What You Should Do During Matchmaking

✅ Stop spending any high-value items (True Gold, Mythril, Speedups).
✅ Ensure everyone logs in daily — the system uses active players in calculations.
✅ Check buffs, leadership, and alliances — coordination matters from day 1.
✅ Start communication between alliances: make a KVK strategy chat or Discord channel.

💡 Pro Tip:
Unequipping gear or lowering visible power does not affect matchmaking — don’t waste time on that trick.

📅 Phase 1 – City Construction 🏗️

Duration: 1 day
Focus: Building 🔨 | Research 📚 | True Gold 💰 | Speedups ⚡

Phase 1 sets the tone for the entire event. It’s all about development power — everything you build or research adds directly to your personal and kingdom score.

✅ What To Do

• Upgrade your Castle, Barracks, and Tech Buildings using saved speedups.
• Spend True Gold and True Gold Dust wisely – each gives massive points.
• Level up your Governor Charm for a permanent power boost.
• Activate all possible buffs before starting:
  🐺 Wolf Pet Buff (“Double Time”)
  📜 Decree Buff
  👑 Chief Minister Buff (from the President)
• Use your Kingdom Building Speed Buff window if your leadership activates one.

💡 Tips & Tricks

• Save all your construction and research speedups before KVK.
• Combine your builds into one big burst during buff hours.
• Don’t waste speedups on low-level buildings — go for upgrades that add major power (Castle, Academy, Barracks).
• Coordinate in alliance chat so everyone builds together — team timing = stronger score.

⚠️ Avoid

❌ Using True Gold before KVK starts.
❌ Forgetting to activate buffs.
❌ Doing tiny builds that barely add power.

🧠 Phase 2 – Basic Skill Up 🎯

Duration: 1 day
Focus: Hero Upgrades 🦸 | Hero Roulette 🎡 | Resource Gathering 🌾

Phase 2 shifts focus from construction to heroes and skills.
This is similar to the Strongest Governor event – you’ll gain most points from spinning the hero wheel and upgrading heroes.

✅ What To Do

• Spin the Hero Roulette as much as possible – each spin gives a big chunk of points.
• Upgrade Heroes (especially Epic and Mythic) using saved shards and hero EXP.
• Use Governor Charm again – it still contributes points.
• Send all marches to gather resources continuously.

💡 Pro Tips

• Save your Hero Wheel spins for this day only – each spin is worth thousands of points.
• Prioritize main heroes that you use in combat; they give the best ROI in power and event points.
• Use saved Hero EXP and Ascension materials today – not before!
• Keep your resource marches running 24/7 – they generate steady points in the background.

⚠️ Avoid

❌ Spinning the wheel outside of the event window.
❌ Upgrading random low-tier heroes.
❌ Letting marches sit idle without gathering.

📊 Point Chart for Phases 1 & 2

(Use this for planning and saving — these are approximate point values per action.)

(Points may slightly vary depending on updates, but ratios remain consistent.)

Duration: 1 day
Focus: Pet Advancement 🐉 | Hero Growth 🦸 | Governor Charm 💎 | Intel Missions 📜

Phase 3 is where you focus on your pets — improving their strength, refining, and evolving them.
It’s one of the most resource-hungry phases but also one of the most rewarding if you’ve saved enough Advanced Taming Marks and Common Taming Marks.

✅ What To Do

• Train and advance pets using Taming Marks.

• Refine your pets to higher generations or stat bonuses.

• Continue upgrading your Governor Charm — still gives points.

• Keep upgrading heroes if you have remaining materials.

• Complete Intel Missions for additional daily points.

💡 Pro Tips

• Save all Advanced and Common Taming Marks for this day only!

• Focus on Gen 1 & Gen 2 pets for maximum power gain.

• Make sure your Pet Facility and Pet Slots are ready before KVK starts — leveling it during this phase costs points you could be earning.

• If possible, use Pet Buffs or Enhancement Boosts before upgrading to multiply your value.

• Coordinate with alliance members — everyone’s pet advancements add up to your kingdom total.

⚠️ Avoid

❌ Using Taming Marks before this event day.
❌ Advancing low-tier pets that give minimal battle impact.
❌ Forgetting to refine — refinements also count toward points!

📊 Phase 3 Point Chart

Duration: 1 day
Focus: Gear Crafting ⚒️ | Widgets & Mithril ⚙️ | Troop Training 🪖 | Governor Charm 💎

This is one of the most important and high-scoring phases — and usually where kingdoms make or break their leaderboard position.
The Troop Training day is often called the “Big Push Day.”

✅ What To Do

• Train massive amounts of troops (all tiers give points, but higher tiers give more).

• Craft and refine hero gear using saved Mithril, Forge Hammers, and Widgets.

• Level up your Governor Charm again for additional power gain.

• Activate all Troop Training Buffs, Kingdom Training Speed Buff, and Alliance Training Bonus.

💡 Pro Tips

• Save your training speedups for this day — each minute counts!

• If your kingdom coordinates, pop Kingdom Training Buff for 3–6 hours and train together.

• Focus your gear crafting on your main heroes — their power multiplies across marches.

• Use food and resources wisely; troop training can drain your storage fast.

• If you run out of space, promote lower-tier troops — it still gives event points.

⚠️ Avoid

❌ Training troops before this event day — you’ll lose tens of thousands of points.
❌ Crafting low-quality gear randomly.
❌ Forgetting to activate buffs before mass training.

📊 Phase 4 Point Chart

Duration: 1 day
Focus: All Power Gains ⚡ | Pet Refinement 🐉 | Research 📚 | Construction 🏗️ | Gear 🪓

This is the final prep day — a catch-all where nearly everything gives points.
It’s the best time to dump all remaining speedups, materials, and stored upgrades before the Battle Phase begins.

✅ What To Do

• Finish any leftover construction or research projects.

• Use remaining Advanced & Common Taming Marks for pets.

• Refine gear, use Mithril, Widgets, Forge Hammers, and True Gold.

• Train the rest of your troops if you have speedups left.

• Use all remaining Intel Missions for easy points.

💡 Pro Tips

• Stack every possible buff (Construction, Research, Pet, Training).

• Use any remaining Governor Charm upgrades — this is your last chance to gain phase points.

• Ask your king to pop the Research Buff — it helps everyone maximize final scores.

• Encourage the entire kingdom to go all out — this day often decides whether you invade or defend!

⚠️ Avoid

❌ Holding back items after this phase — it’s your last scoring window.
❌ Forgetting to time buffs before starting final pushes.
❌ Ignoring small actions like Intel Missions — they add up!

📊 Phase 5 Point Chart

Once the 5 prep days end, the Battle Phase begins.
This is the most exciting and chaotic part — where your kingdom either invades or defends.

🏰 How It Works

• The kingdom with higher total prep points becomes the invader.

• The other becomes the defender.

• A Castle Battle event begins where both kingdoms fight for the Central Castle and regional strongholds.

⚙️ Castle Battle Basics

• Points are earned by occupying objectives (Castles, Outposts, etc.).

• The Alliance holding the main castle when the timer ends wins the battle for the kingdom.

• Winners receive extra rewards and the President Title.

👑 Rewards from Battle Phase

• Kingdom Medals: Earned per phase + final battle (6 in total).

• Hero Shards: Winner’s top players earn hundreds of shards (usually a seasonal hero like Hild).

• Kingdom Coins: New currency used in the KVK shop for Skins, Frames, and items.

• Exclusive Frames & Skins for top contributors and winning kingdom members.

🏅 Reward Structure Summary

💡 Pro Tip:
Focus on reaching the final daily chest (200k pts) each day — it’s worth more than you think. Over 5 days, that’s 1 million total points personally and contributes massively to your kingdom’s total rank.

🎖️ After the War

When the battle ends:

• Winning kingdom’s King becomes President of both kingdoms.

• Rewards are distributed by rank and medals.

• A new peace period begins before the next KVK cycle.

Use this downtime to rebuild, train troops, and start saving for the next round — because the next KVK cycle usually comes about 4 weeks later.

🧱 1️⃣ Preparation & Saving Before KVK

KVK isn’t won during battle — it’s won weeks before it even begins. 🕰️

✅ Do these before matchmaking:

• 💰 Save everything: True Gold, True Gold Dust, Advanced/Common Taming Marks, Widgets, Forge Hammers, Mithril, Hero Shards, Speedups.

• 🧰 Pre-build your city: keep one building & one research at 1 minute left so you can instantly finish them after event starts.

• 📅 Check event calendar: note which day each phase starts so you don’t accidentally spend items early.

• 🐺 Prepare Buffs: Pet, Chief Minister, Decree, Kingdom buff — stack them correctly.

• 🧩 Alliance Preparation: create a “KVK Plan” post with tasks for each member (e.g., builders, trainers, pet upgraders).

• 📦 Clear storage space: training and gear forging need tons of resources — stockpile food & stone.

💪 2️⃣ During Preparation Days

Each day has its own focus — use only the items that match that day’s tasks.

✅ General rules for all prep days:

• ⚙️ Activate buffs first → spend items second.

• 🕓 Don’t rush. Wait until Kingdom buff window starts before you begin.

• 👥 Communicate in chat: if your kingdom syncs actions (same buff time), scores multiply fast.

• 🧾 Track your chests: each day has three personal reward chests. Aim to reach the final (200k points) daily.

• 🧠 Use Intel Missions smartly: save them for the right day (usually Day 1 or Day 5).

• 🧤 Refine & craft gear only on Gear days.

💡 Pro Tip: Plan your item usage like this 👇

• Day 1 → True Gold + Construction Speedups

• Day 2 → Hero Roulette + Shards

• Day 3 → Taming Marks

• Day 4 → Forge Hammers + Troop Training

• Day 5 → Everything left + final push

🧩 3️⃣ Battle Phase Essentials

This is where the true Kingdom vs Kingdom war happens — prepare for organized chaos 🔥

✅ Before Battle Starts:

• 🩸 Heal all troops and empty hospital.

• 🪖 Train extra troops on Day 4/5 so you’re ready for war.

• 🧱 Build Alliance Towers and teleport close to the castle.

• 🗺️ Plan roles: rally leaders, reinforcers, gatherers, defense team.

• 🎤 Join voice chat — real-time coordination wins battles.

⚔️ During Battle:

• 🏰 Hold objectives: Castles, Outposts, Supply Points = points and control.

• 🚩 Join rallies as soon as they’re called.

• 💊 Keep hospital space free — heal between fights to avoid troop loss.

• 🪙 Gather Kingdom Coins through participation — don’t sit idle.

👑 After Battle:

• 📬 Collect all medals (5 prep + 1 battle = 6 total).

• 🏅 Spend Kingdom Coins in shop for skins or frames.

• 💎 Check your Alliance Ranking rewards in mail.

• 📊 Analyze performance and plan for next cycle.

✅ 4️⃣ DO THIS EVERY TIME

💎 Save before KVK starts — KVK is all about timing your spending.
🐉 Train pets only on Day 3 for massive point gains.
⚙️ Craft gear and train troops on Day 4.
💰 Dump everything on Day 5.
📜 Coordinate buff timing with your Kingdom leader.
👥 Encourage your alliance — every member adds to kingdom total.
🎯 Finish daily chests — that’s your personal profit.
🏰 Join Castle Battle even if you’re small — participation earns coins and medals.
🧾 Record your spending so you can plan better next KVK.
🔁 Keep troop queues running 24/7.

❌ 5️⃣ NEVER DO THIS

🚫 Spend resources before the correct day.
🚫 Use True Gold or Speedups outside KVK.
🚫 Spin Hero Wheel early.
🚫 Ignore buffs before upgrading.
🚫 Train troops on the wrong phase.
🚫 Stay inactive — every player matters.
🚫 Forget to heal before Battle Phase.
🚫 Ignore Intel Missions (huge free points).
🚫 Craft gear randomly through the week.
🚫 Quit early after prep days — Castle Battle is the final decider.

💡 6️⃣ Advanced Strategies (For Kingdom Leaders & Veterans)

🧭 Kingdom Buff Timing:
Coordinate 3–6 hour windows for each prep day. Example:

• Day 1 → Building Speed Buff

• Day 2 → Hero Buff

• Day 3 → Pet Buff

• Day 4 → Training Buff

• Day 5 → Research Buff

Everyone acts during the buff window → huge score jump together 🚀

📊 Alliance Role Split:

• 🧱 Strong builders → Day 1

• 🦸 Hero experts → Day 2

• 🐉 Pet players → Day 3

• ⚙️ Gear / Troop trainers → Day 4

• 💥 Everyone → Day 5

🏗️ Castle Defense Plan:

• Keep strongest rally leaders inside castle first.

• Send backup rallies to surrounding outposts.

• Assign healers to rotate troop recovery.

• Coordinate reinforcements — don’t all rush in blindly.

💰 Reward Optimization:

• Aim for 200k daily points for all 5 days = all personal chests + Kingdom medals.

• Use Kingdom Coins for limited skins and frames first — they don’t return in normal shops.

💬 Community Morale Trick:
Post daily screenshots of top scorers & kingdom rankings — it motivates everyone to push harder.
