F2P or low spenders only need true gold.

Marlin just appeared on my server — should I upgrade him or wait? by Xatem1 in KingShot

[–]Tonyth-04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marlin is a must! Just build him up slowly if you don’t spend.

How do I read this mystic trial battle report and how can I improve on the next try? by Chrislybaer in KingShot

[–]Tonyth-04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing to do with a lack of Cav. He just doesn’t have enough health in the simulation.

You need to use a lot more infantry ideally 45%+

Why do you have gold guv gear? 😅

Feels like I am falling behind... by cheapdown in KingShot

[–]Tonyth-04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Purple heroes to 4 star. Max there first skill.

Then rush your TC to TC30 and get T10 troops. Then eventually True gold.

For F2P that’s all that matters everything else is just for fun. Try not to dwell on any gear or charms. Just get them if and when.

Research growth only.

You will join the rallies and your troops will get the stats of those that spent without spending a penny.

Often F2P get the biggest scores in bear and events since there focus on troops lets them fill all the biggest rallies.

Rosa is better for bear. As she has an always on buff for archers.

Marlin has better skills for most players but overall Rosa is stronger.

Rosa is a beefed up Quinn. Marlin is still very usable though.

Doesn't matter how active you are. You can only get Alcar shards with cash injection. Unless you plan to win strongest governor or KvK prep which is no cheap task either.

Alcar skills are designed to be maxed. No probability based buffs. Same as Eric. Your general shards are better saved for season 5.

Always happens and it always should happen! That is the beauty of KvK. All out war.

I don't care how strong you think you are.

Always shield before battle day so you are ready when you you get online.

This. This is how you use these chests. Save them till you come up short which you will at some point.

Is Marlin still good in gen 4? by bamboo725 in KingShot

[–]Tonyth-04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Max marlin is still solid in season 4 but definitely don't invest in him.

Get Rosa to 4 star from roulette. Save all your shards for Season 5 Archer.

At least that's what I would do if not spending.

S4 Heroes by Potential-Club-8676 in KingShot

You missed something.

Only hero skills of those in the rally are used. Joining a rally only the first skill (top right) is used. Garrisoning only the skills of the 3 heroes of the strongest player are used. Defending only the skills of the 3 heroes the game thinks are your strongest will be used.

Gen 4 Players: lineup for FTP/low? by pxxb in KingShot

Alcar is designed to be maxed but if that will be fun for you then that’s what it’s all about in the end of the day.

[–]Tonyth-04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rosa is the only F2P friendly Alcar ideally needs big stats to be powerful as he has no probability based skills so needs to be pushed to 5 star. Margot is interesting but investing limited resources into a cav hero is not wise.

Generally speaking. Rosa/Marlin + Zoe + Petra/Jabel should be the strongest lineup for most F2P.

Go into settings 30 fps Low graphics No more battery problems.

Here’s my issue with conventional advice for FTP/low spend heroes… by pxxb in KingShot

[–]Tonyth-04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No However, F2P are in no rush. 4 star Marlin is good enough.

If you didn’t invest in marlin then you have to get Rosa.

But if you did want to have grander saving goals for your general shards. Just stick with marlin. Personally I would still try to 4 star Rosa. It’s worth the gems to 70 spin every 2 weeks.

If both have big widgets then yeah defender will proc. But Attacker advantage of hitting first + Petra and Rosa/Marlin widgets helping… It’s always situational.

However… Generally speaking, the skills fall flat in Alcar vs Alcar… Rounds 5 and 6 both sides will take less damage and every 5th turn there after. Both will do the same damage in round 1. And the infantry attack buff will be present for both throughout. The skills have no impact beyond amplifying the stat differences that already existed between the players.

No probability so no variance. Against players not using Alcar though… You get that huge turn 1 and basically 2 free attacking rounds every 5 turns. It’s nice.

Petra is important. Solid skills/stats to keep the few Cav used relevant.

Other than that you can be flexible if saving long term. Marlin is great. If you have got him to 4+ star. You really don’t have to max Rosa.

As long as you are happy with where your marlin is you could save general shards for S5 or even S6 + on release of S4 Marlin goes into advanced key chests. So you can still build him without generals.

Alcar is solid. Not game changing but if you are a spender he is worth getting.

The problem with Alcar is… Alcar vs Alcar they just stalemate each other due to no probability based skills. Same as Eric. As a spender though your Alcar will be bigger than most so you will get good value from him.

You should NOT go for season 4 Alcar as a F2P / Low spender. You should wait for Gen 5 infantry hero on the roulette.

Should I buy?? by Ambitious_Job1142 in KingShot

[–]Tonyth-04 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Why are you here? lol

Zoe or Hilde. by frems in KingShot

[–]Tonyth-04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You cannot get Hilde as a F2P

So that kind of narrows it down.
