Vikings Vengeance is a kingdom-wide defense event where coordination matters more than individual strength. Reinforce the right players, protect the Alliance HQ, follow leadership instructions, and work together to survive every wave.
//TLDR//
Reenforce other castles with Infantry & Cavalry to protect them from the vikings. Leave your archers and 3 strongest heroes at home, send ALL your other troops away. Viking Wave 10 & Wave 20, reenforce the HQ. Pull back troops from 1 or 2 castles, and send Infantry to the HQ with your 3 strongest heroes. After Wave 10, recall the troops from the HQ and send them back to the castles you pulled them from. Shields DO NOT work.
The Full Story
- Prepare your rally slots in advance
Take a look at your total troops, calculate total Infantry and total Cavalry, divide each by your maximum rally slots. That’s what you need to use to reenforce castles around you. More rallies, more points!
So let’s say you have 6 rally slots. 120.000 Cavelry and 180.000 Infantry. Each rally slot needs to have 120.000/6=20.000 Cavelry and 180.000/6=30.000 Infantry. So 50.000 troops total. - Send as many rallies to online players as possible. Make sure nobody else is reenforcing that player! Otherwise you will split the points. When there are no online players available, start sending troops to offline players. Pick the lowest level castle possible. The lower the level, the lower their troop levels, etc. So you will be able to get more points here. Keep your 3 strongest hero’s and your archers at home!
- When the game starts, you can check your reenforced castles, make sure nobody else gets in there! You could throw a fit when that happens, it’s typically faster pull your troops back from that castle, and go somewhere else.
- At the 10th and 20th Viking wave, pull back enough troops so you can reenforce the HQ with just Infantry. Make sure that you don’t pull your troops back to early! Look at the map and not the vikings panel. Vikings are fat, and walk slow. Make sure they finished their 9th and 19th attack!
HQ should be labeled with the maximum rally size for reenforcements. Send that number of infantry to the HQ with your 3 strongest heros.
After the vikings attacked the HQ, pull back your troops from the HQ and send the troops back to the castles you reenforced. - Keep watching your panel to make sure nobody else is in your castles!
Some suggestions
- For the HQ reenforcement, Archers give you ZERO points. Cavalry about .25 kills per troops. Infantry is close to 1 kill per troop. USE 100% INFANTRY!
- Max reenforcement for HQ is Max Rally Size / 15 , likely somewhere between 66.000 and 73.000. Calculate this beforehand, and set a label in the HQ!
- Viking level 19 and below should be fine with 1 person reenforcing a castle. Above Level 20, start looking at total troops per castle. Each castle gets an equil amount of points available. When multiple players are reenforcing a castle, you will split those points.
- When reenforcing online players, they get hit with more viking waves than players who are offline. It is better to reenforce an offline castle vs splitting the points with an online castle.
- Make sure your castle does not have archers or cavalry in it, all of them should be reenforcing castles!
- Also, DO NOT HEAL. When you heal your troops during Vikings, they will come back and count as troops defending your castle and you steal points away from the troops reenforcing you.
