Alliance Duel Guide: What to Save & Spend Each Day

There are 2 different Alliance Duel events that use the same name. The first 2 Alliance Duels are modified and do not have the cross server kill day. This is important to understand how old your Kingdom / Server is and to check the timeline to best understand.

Shortcut is; has KvK started?

  • No, then day 6 will be an addional training day like Friday.
  • Yes KvK Started, then day 6 is kill event!

  • Use Training Speedups.
  • Use Minister of War for training speed and capacity.
  • Building and research completions, plus their speedups, are fallback scoring options.
  • Prefer saving building completions for the next Day 2 if troop training already meets your target.
Day 6 Raid the Enemy / Everything Day Before KvK: server days 1–30
  • Shield before server reset if you will be inactive.
  • Recall gathering squads when the phase starts. Gathering troops can be attacked even while your base is shielded.
  • Review wall defenses and reinforcements with your alliance.
  • Scout targets and coordinate attacks with teammates.
  • Attack exposed gathering troops when appropriate.
  • Keep shields active when defending; reinforce teammates only when you can handle the enemy.
  • Use healing as needed and keep teleports ready.
  • Use Chief of War for march speed and the enemy troop death-rate bonus described in the source.
  • Avoid sending reinforcements into a losing defense.
  • Construction and Research Speedups are last-resort scoring options.
  • The source recommends reducing wall defenders to limit losses, but notes that some troops may still die.

Plan the week with your alliance

  • Match upgrades with Survival Battle objectives when possible. The source also links Alliance Duel wins and phase MVP rewards to Kingdom War points.
  • The source describes 7 match points as an automatic win; you do not need to win every phase. Save surplus materials for the next matchup when appropriate.
  • If a phase is out of reach, save resources rather than spend your stockpile chasing it.
  • Universal Speedups score according to the activity they speed up. The source says qualifying pack purchases award points in every phase.
  • Watch the score near server reset, when alliances may make a late push.
  • Use the Sunday break to prepare for Day 1 and hold Falcon Quest claims where their expiry allows. Participate for available rewards even if your alliance is behind.

Day 6: shields and defenses

Open your base, then select Shield or Reinforcements. The source shows five free 8-hour shields. To adjust defenders, open the garrison controls under Reinforcements. Confirm your available shields and defense settings before the raid window.

Era of Revival: Claire on Day 4

The source recommends timing Claire upgrades for Hero Growth. It describes a one-time conversion to UR that resets her to level 1, resets her skills and shards, and returns previously spent materials. Upgrade her before conversion, then use the returned materials to upgrade her again during Day 4. Check the conversion preview before committing.
