Kingdom War (KvK): Survival & Scoring

🗓 Updated: 2026-10-12

Kingdom War is the game’s server-versus-server war: two kingdoms invade a shared map and fight over the Royal City. It runs biweekly, with scoring and preparation tasks through the week and the main battle condensed into a single window. Win by controlling the Royal City when the dust settles.

This guide covers the schedule, attacker and defender strategy, universal rules, the mistakes that lose wars, and the economy rules that keep your account alive through it.

The Biweekly Schedule

• Preparation and scoring run through the week — the daily tasks and point categories build your kingdom’s position before a single wall is contested.
• The main battle is Saturday from reset, inside a 4-hour window. That window is the whole war — everything before it is positioning.
• Win condition: control the Royal City. Not most kills, not most points — who holds the city at the end.

Winning alliances aren’t always the strongest — they’re the most organized.

Attacker Playbook

If your kingdom is on offense, the instinct is to rush the Royal City. That instinct loses wars.

• Do not rush the city first. A direct push into the city runs into concentrated defense and turrets — it bleeds your strongest squads in the opening minutes.
• Take the turrets first, then push. Every turret down widens your safe zone and strips the defenders’ map control before the city fight even begins.
• Stay in rallies. Rallies are safer and stronger than solo marches — concentrated HP, concentrated buffs, and a march the defenders actually have to respect. The solo hero is the solo casualty.

Defender Playbook

Defenders are not trying to win a fight. Defenders are trying to run out a clock.

• You need time, not kills. Every minute the attackers spend grinding through your defense is a minute they are not holding the city. Stalling is winning.
• Reinforce constantly. Feed fresh squads into contested points as fast as they die. A point that never stops being defended eats the entire enemy window.
• Rotate. Don’t park everything on one lane — shift squads to wherever the pressure actually is, and make the attackers fight for every single inch of ground.

Universal Rules

Whichever side you are on, the same rules apply:

1. Turrets first = map control. The turret line decides who moves safely. It is the first objective of the war, every time.
2. Never solo. Solo pushes are how accounts get deleted. March with rallies or not at all.
3. Reinforce constantly. Defense that stops receiving reinforcements falls in one wave.
4. Stay online the whole fight. The 4-hour window punishes anyone who logs off mid-war — your squads stay exactly where you left them, undefended.

The Mistakes That Lose Wars

• Solo pushes — instant wipes that hand the enemy free kills and leave your alliance a squad short.
• Ignoring turrets — attacking the city through intact turret lines is donating troops.
• No reinforcement — a defense that stops rotating falls, then the next point falls, then the city falls.
• Logging off mid-war — the 4-hour window does not pause for your schedule.

KvK Economy: Troops, Resources, and Shields

Kingdom War is one of the few events with real account risk:

• You CAN lose troops and resources when attacked — this is not a zero-risk event like Canyon Conquest.
• Shield up during the war window. An unshielded city during KvK is a resource piñata for the enemy server.
• Losses scale with your wall and research — a maxed wall and defensive research are what turn a massacre into a skirmish.
• Save upgrades and speedups for the scoring days — the same double-value logic that governs Alliance Duel applies to KvK scoring tasks. Spending a big upgrade on a neutral day earns half.

Scoring Overlap With Alliance Duel

KvK and Alliance Duel share scoring sources, and the community consensus is to exploit that every day:

• Covert Ops and Caravans score for BOTH events. The same actions feed your duel total and your KvK total at once.
• That makes caravans a daily no-brainer — run them every single day of a duel week. The full caravan and plunder route is in the Guild Wagon & Caravans guide.

The rest of the war economy — what to save, when to spend, which shop buys fund the war — is covered in the Economy guide.

Practical KvK: Roles, Survival, and Smart Fights

KvK exposes the gap between account power and playing skill fast. Whaled mega-squads set the ceiling, but every strength tier has real jobs: tops fight for the castle and towers, mid players distract and pick open fortresses, and the weakest do more good preserving their army and scoring through safe mechanics than donating it in two minutes.

First: which war is it going to be?

Kings and server leadership often negotiate the rules of engagement — e.g. no burning of ordinary Sanctuaries, fight over towers and the central castle only. When both sides honor it, the battle stays organized. When the other server says “we defend however we want,” pretty formations die in thirty seconds and you get burned before the fight starts. Read the kingdom mail and leadership chat before KvK: calm objective fight or full Sanctuary war changes everything — where to stand, whether you need a shield, how many troops to bring, how aggressive to play.

Preparation checklist: troops, healing, energy, teleports

A week of savings can evaporate in minutes — soldiers, healing, speedups, and energy all run out at once. Check all four before the war, with army stock first: a few bad minutes can leave you a decorative fortress for the rest of the event.

Set the wall deliberately: one strong Squad 1 that can actually repel an attack, not all three squads on autopilot — weak squads 2–3 on the wall just inflate losses. And if an absolute monster is inbound, pull everything off and let them burn an empty Sanctuary. Less heroic; soldiers stay yours.

Three squads of thinking: tops, mid, weak

Not everyone storms the castle. If your Squad 1 is several times weaker than the thrones’ defenders, running at it repeatedly is pointless:

• Tops hold towers and the castle — absorb several attacks, keep reinforcements flowing, anchor objectives.
• Mid players work around the main fight — burn reachable fortresses, catch opponents with their main squad out, harass attackers off objectives.
• Weak players must above all not gift free points. Score safely through tiles and side activities, scout the map, spot reachable targets, keep the army. A small personal score beats a two-minute army donation — no shame in it.

Attackers: distance is part of the fight

Defenders are home: they place players around objectives, relocate between positions, and react fast. Attackers must first find somewhere to stand — and burned-out fortress craters near the castle gradually clog the space, pushing new attackers’ teleports further out. Never teleport “wherever it lands” for a serious fight: while your main squad runs for thirty seconds, the enemy slips behind you and burns your fortress. Check march time, not just the target, before every teleport.

Do not turn into food

The classic losing loop: attack the held center, lose, heal, attack, lose, attack a third time expecting a miracle. If the power gap is huge and you barely scratch the defender, change the task, not the attempt count — flank into reachable targets and score there. KvK is not a duel of honor: walk around an impassable wall.

When the center becomes a meat grinder, tiles are boring but rational: score from a safe shielded spot while the server fails to anchor objectives or your account has no business in the central brawl. Nobody applauds three gathering squads — but they beat evaporating at a top donor’s feet.

The shield button can flip your whole fight

Standing shielded, scoring, deciding to reinforce an ally — the shield drops. Seconds later half the enemy server takes an interest in you. Before any helpful action, check whether it strips protection. If the shield falls, change tactics immediately: back to safety or full mobile PvP (fly in, hit, leave, heal, wait for teleport, return). Worst option: sit still hoping nobody notices. On KvK, they notice fast.

Hit-and-run: the mid player’s best scheme

If you cannot hold a tower against tops, you can still make them look away:

1. Pick an opponent at or slightly below your level.
2. Move closer, hit, and leave the moment hunters converge.
3. Heal, restore energy, wait for the next window.

Three or four chasers off the castle is team value: one mid player never beats a top server, but ten mobile players manufacture permanent chaos while your strongest work the objectives.

Strike when the enemy main squad leaves

A top player is near-unbreakable with Squad 1 home — but it must fight the war. The squad leaves for a tower or the castle, and the Sanctuary behind it turns interesting. You do not even need a full burn: starting the attack often recalls the main squad, and a recalled top squad no longer helps the objective. That is already a win. Mirror rule: do not teleport so far from your victim that your own empty fortress gets burned while the main squad is still on the road — seconds matter.

Let a strong wall farm for you: if weak squads keep breaking on your Squad 1, stay home and let them repeat the mistake — points arrive by themselves. But watch who comes next; when a genuinely stronger player lines up, leave before they prove it on your whole army.

The reinforcement trap

Reinforcement looks like obvious help — until a weak reinforcement dies instantly and converts into enemy points. In one cited fight the attacker lost under 300 soldiers while the other side lost nearly 9,000: a weak reinforcing squad fed the attacker a huge PvP-point banquet. Do not reinforce for the sake of helping — if the squad is clearly below the war’s level, keep it home. Strong holders need troops that extend the hold, not a free feast.

Low army? Stop trading

At two or three thousand soldiers left, flying into the center “because KvK is on” is dubious — there are no longer three real squads, sometimes not even a second. Switch modes: reachable targets only, point collection, map watch, intel help. Once personal rewards are claimed (one cited run closed everything at 2.8M+ personal points), every new fight must justify its risk to the server, not to the highlight reel.

Tops anchor, towers are not secondary

The strongest players should be anchors on key objectives, not hunters of random fortresses. One 34M-power Squad 1 that cannot be dislodged from a tower is the textbook case: build reinforcement and mid-player screens around it while it holds what decides the result. Never send all top strength at the castle alone — partial tower control pressures the center and splits the defenders, so assign alliances to directions before the start.

Even a lost KvK pays: a weaker server that keeps raiding, holds a tower here, catches weak targets there, and drags enemy tops home learns target evaluation, timing, and retreats — and sees exactly what the main squad lacks (tank, healing, troops, energy, recovery speed) for next time.

[0:00] What's up guys? Corpus Gaming here and today we're going to talk about Kingdom versus Kingdom and how to actually survive in the battle itself and some

[0:07] tips and tricks on how to win the pre-battle. If you like these guides, hit that subscribe button, smash that like button and let's get into it.

[0:17] So here we are guys. This is the interface of the war phase and here is here gets decided who's going to attack and who's going to

[0:24] defend and you always want to look out for this and you want to make sure that you're on the attacking side cuz if you defend you'll have a bigger chance to

[0:34] lose your your center and you can already get ready after reset on the Friday and you don't want that to happen. You rather attack

[0:43] after reset than to defend after reset.

[0:46] Here is a quick layout. Here is the alliance rankings and the personal rankings and here if you press this you can see in what stages your server has

[0:56] slack off and where improvement is slack off and where improvement is needed.

[1:00] And it is for alliance duel victory, alliance duel MVP, demon king blight total damage, demon king blight number one damage,

[1:11] plunder enemy kingdom caravans. This is also something you really need to push in world chat to get everyone on the same page and how to really

[1:21] destroy your enemy server with this.

[1:23] Then you [snorts] have the survival battles and this is the daily event that you have have got going on and the to scramble victory points. And what you

[1:32] also want to keep in mind is that every also want to keep in mind is that every Saturday Saturday this points also count for the next Kingdom

[1:39] War. So everything you get on Saturday counts for the next war so you really want to also be on top of your game on the Saturdays to collect those points.

[1:49] And that's it for the pre-phase.

[1:52] Then we have here the royal city scramble. Our battle has already been finished and sadly we lost, but as you can see the rewards are great even if

[2:02] you lose, you will still get these juicy fame medals that you want.

[2:07] Here is also the rewards for the number one player with damage.

[2:12] And that is about it for here.

[2:15] And here is how you get the points And here is how you get the points for this event.

[2:20] Then here is the match information and you have a quick layout of who you're going to fight and who's going to win the trophy.

[2:29] And here is the rewards for everyone.

[2:32] It is pretty basic. If you want to have more information about this, you can press this one the exclamation mark and you can just read all of it. I'm not

[2:41] going to read all of this cuz then it's going to be a really long video and I don't want to bore you guys. We're off to the next part and that is how to

[2:49] attack the enemy caravans the fastest way. So we go to Kingdom Wars and we go to match information grouping and here we see the red label and that is our

[2:58] enemy. We want to start scouring the map and hitting these caravans. If you already hit yours, you want to go share these caravans in the world chat or

[3:07] alliance chat to really get your guys to attack these enemies and that's it for this. You get other 20 points for each caravan you hit so it really stacks up

[3:18] if everyone plays their part in this in this war. So guys, this is elixir scramble and here you can get a lot of points. You can get around 100k points

[3:29] for each alliance so that's that's really stacks up. And you basically just want to win both battles for team A and team B. And you want to set up great

[3:41] teams and have that organized and it's also the rewards for the event itself is really juicy. You want to collect those fame medals to

[3:51] really push your gear up. So, don't forget about this and for R4 and R5, make good squads so you can win these.

[4:03] So, this is the world boss and it has a new weakness every day and it changes to type of hero, ranger hero, warlock hero,

[4:12] or warrior hero. And for the server-based damage, we are going to check this out. Normally, if it's on the Friday, you will have a bar here and it

[4:21] will show who has hit it the most damage and the damage is counted only with the top 200 players. So, you really want to teach your server how to make good

[4:31] squads and to just tell them to watch my YouTube videos.

[4:36] And that's it. You can check the rankings here and the number one in the ranking gets the solo points. So, you also want to check that out. And here it

[4:45] all goes all the way down. For some weird reason, it's only till the top 100, but that is it for the world boss and how to get the points.

[4:57] Okay, here we are. This is the survival Okay, here we are. This is the survival battle page and here you want to get rank one

[5:03] as well to collect those points for kingdom versus kingdom. Here is the calendar and you have a hand zero, build territories, train soldiers, technology

[5:13] research, enhanced raven, enhanced hero, and then it continues all the way for the whole week. A lot of good rewards in this and I'll explain you on a later

[5:24] video on how to really get these video on how to really get these rewards.

[5:29] That's it for survival battle and that's it for the pre-battle. I'm now going to explain you guys some more about the battle itself and how to prepare for it.

[5:40] battle itself and how to prepare for it. So, what you want to do on the day before the actual war is stock up on some shields. You want to get a 12-hour one

[5:51] or the 24-hour one, so you make sure that once you go to bed, you're going to have a nice good long sleep and be safe and you don't have to put

[6:00] any alarms to wake up to put up another shield. So, you want to buy 12-hour shield or the 24-hour shield. You want to stock up on some direct locations,

[6:10] alliance relocations, and random relocations. Uh it sounds like a lot of points, but if you do alliance research on a daily

[6:18] basis, you can do that uh twice a day, and you can really get points fast and you can stock up on these.

[6:26] All right, trick one is once you do the dark fight war, you want to really just teleport next to the guy.

[6:36] You want to hit it a few times, and if there are no troops inside, what you want to do is uh you send out your attacks and you send multiple attacks,

[6:44] and you really don't want to wait and you keep on pushing forward.

[6:49] And that is how you kill guy. And if you get attacked, you want to teleport back immediately, not here. Here we go.

[6:58] And you're safe, and now you have to wait 5 minutes to return, but you are not zeroed and you have all your troops left. That is trick one.

[7:07] All right, now we're going to talk about batch healing. Really important inside Kingdom versus Kingdom, so you get insta uh healing done, and you want to

[7:16] go around 200, 250, and just keep on smashing that.

[7:21] smashing that. Uh in dark fights, it can be difficult, but in the second type of fight, it can be really easy, and you can really just uh

[7:29] insta heal all the time, and you can do it in between rallies.

[7:33] A small tip for the wheels as well. Once the war starts and you have a dark fight on your hands, you want to always make sure that you have a squad on defense.

[7:42] Uh your highest squad will go on defense and your second squad will be on offense. This is basically cuz if you're really strong build, nobody can beat you

[7:51] and you can use that second squad with that high raven to just butcher the enemies around you and you really want to focus on those lower sanctuaries

[8:00] first and you have to remember it's a numbers game, so that's about it.

[8:07] All right, I'm going to end this video with a small clip of the kingdom battle and as you can see it is huge. You have war on every side.

[8:17] You want to take control of the towers.

[8:19] You want to keep on batch healing and this is how it's played.

[8:23] this is how it's played. Um that's it for today. I want to thank you all for your time. Have a blessed day and see you to the next time. Bye-bye.

[8:31] and see you to the next time. Bye-bye. [snorts]
