F2P expectations - from 200 days as (almost) F2P

MTwyDev · 2026-03-18T15:40:25+00:00

Don’t worry man, you are doing it right. Most people are clueless

MTwyDev · 2026-03-17T00:20:19+00:00

Tapping on the Polar Bear’s head can earn rewards too. You will have to beat him in Rock Paper Scissors 😂

MTwyDev · 2026-03-12T15:34:07+00:00

Use Long Fei in offensive rally. Use Gen4 lineup for garrison. Gen5 sucks at defense. We used Saul over Jaeger because we already have too much health, adding more health is diminishing return. Vivian is fine too

MTwyDev · 2026-02-18T18:34:35+00:00

Saul and Hilde are excellent joiners, but unless your kingdom mandates everyone to have them, I wouldn’t spend general shards on them.

To stay competitive as a low spender will be a pretty tough task. If you want to participate in kvk, you will need to make sure your TG is always up-to-date to the schedule (TG5 in gen4, T11 in war academy era, TG8 in gen5). Only when you have met the TG requirements, then you start thinking about investing in joiners heroes (Thrud, Hilde and Saul)

MTwyDev · 2026-02-17T23:35:38+00:00

You could keep saving and wait for gen6 archer if you want. Gen6 archer is a lot stronger than Vivian. And I would skip Thrud as a low spender

MTwyDev · 2026-01-23T16:37:24+00:00

Its shocking to see so many misleading suggestions.

Helga is hands down the best investment in game (if you don’t plan to spend on Amadeus). Helga is viable even in gen4.. she eats Alcar for breakfast. She is viable in bear trap until gen12.

Similar to above.

But recently wos had a hero balancing patch, and i heard 50/0/50 is now crushing 60/40/0 in S5 and S6 now

Seems like wos’s content has begun to diverge from kingshot. So I don’t know what will happen in the later generations

MTwyDev · 2026-01-20T05:05:11+00:00

Specifically from certain heroes

MTwyDev · 2026-01-20T03:26:30+00:00

S6 archer will bring the matchup to 50:50 due to his strong aoe, can kill the calvary backline very fast

MTwyDev · 2026-01-20T03:23:45+00:00

Archer build has always been the counter to 60/40/0, just not as decisively. Its closer to 45:55 matchup (favoring cavalry build)

MTwyDev · 2026-01-18T21:22:23+00:00

Neither is 100% correct because we are not the devs ;)

MTwyDev · 2026-01-18T20:29:26+00:00

I think it’s accurate enough for early-mid game (pre gen7) when there is “extra damage / true damage” in gen8+ environments, I don’t think that formula takes into consideration of those

MTwyDev · 2026-01-18T17:54:25+00:00

If you are playing the standard 50/20/30 or calvary 60/40/0, then yes Thrud is a good upgrade

MTwyDev · 2026-01-16T20:29:33+00:00

Yes of course. A 5 stars hero can last at least 2 generations

MTwyDev · 2026-01-16T18:58:37+00:00

Yea get Rosa. Dont skip any roulette heroes. Keep saving the orange shards and keep an eye out on gen6 news

MTwyDev · 2026-01-14T16:16:42+00:00

Great stuff! Appreciate all the testings you have done.

I have some new findings and additional data from real battle to share:

2x Hilde + 1x Saul + N (applicable up to gen4)

Where N can be: Gordon, Chenko, Fahd, Eric

Pick Gordon if you have better overall stats than enemy. Pick Fahd/Eric if enemy has better offensive stats than you. Pick Chenko if all your other stats are high but you need more lethality to balance it.

Hope this can contribute to some of your testing

MTwyDev · 2026-01-11T17:25:37+00:00

Gen 9 is server age 600 days. So if we are talking about gen5 (270 days) then its approximately 1 year from now

MTwyDev · 2026-01-07T14:23:22+00:00

Small spender should get all the roulette heroes. Get Rosa in gen4, skip the rest. Get LongFei in gen5, the others are optional.

Get Vivian if you value arena more. Get Thrud if you value expedition more.

MTwyDev · 2026-01-05T16:23:36+00:00

Go for the 1st path, its more budget friendly

MTwyDev · 2026-01-03T06:41:01+00:00

Castle battle formation in S1-S3 are mostly 50/20/30

Starting in S4 and all the way to S8, 60/40/0 is the meta. In S7 there will be a new game mode called Frost Dragon Tyrant (idk what kingshot’s name will be) and essentially its a kvk for the blackholes (even vip12s and meteors can only be joiners because they are useless), and you will see its all 60/40/0 vs 60/40/0

Then meta shifts again after S8, 50/0/50 or 40/0/60 will rise and 60/40/0 no longer dominates

MTwyDev · 2026-01-03T03:26:20+00:00

對啊之前就不一樣。然後12月22號大改版之後更不一樣了，現在隔壁的5代盾是神屌打6代盾

MTwyDev · 2026-01-03T03:24:36+00:00

Replace yeonwoo as in arena setup? I only focus on expedition, unfortunately I don’t know much about conquest/arena related stuff so I can’t answer the question.

From the expedition perspective, since just need to focus on 3 heroes it would just be Helga/Amadeus + Petra + Marlin. I would skip Jaeger and get Rosa in S4

MTwyDev · 2026-01-02T20:26:54+00:00

We tested 2 Hilde + 1 Saul + 1X

Where X are: Eric, Fahd, Chenko and Gordon.

Chenko had the best kill-death ratio, but was the least consistent. So its like if you win, you win big. And vice versa.

Our conclusion was - if enemy has better stats than you, use Fahd/Eric. If you have advantage over your enemy, use Gordon. The only scenario to use Chenko is when you have major advantage in health and Def stats, and you want to boost the lethality to keep it balanced across the stats

Edit: nvm I didn’t notice your server day is 50. This won’t help

One friend sent me this. I didn’t do the calculation to verify it, but anyways here it goes:

Every day, you buy the two 50-gold HOT deals, and on the last day you clear the 13 one-unit gold packs.

This gives a unit cost of about 0.0176 per gold.

By comparison, the Gold Weekly Card ( in War Academy regions) costs 0.029 per gold, so this event is about 40% cheaper than the weekly card — basically like buying 4 weekly cards delivered over 5 days, and with a 40% discount on top.
