WHAT IS MY ROLE DURING BATTLE DAY?

🛡️ K2149 — THE KVK ACADEMY

GUIDE 08 — WHAT IS MY ROLE DURING BATTLE DAY?

Rally Leaders • Joiners • Garrisons • Turrets • Healing • Support

Battle Day is not won by 100 players improvising.

It is won with:

👑 one unified command 🔥 designated Rally Leaders 🏰 structured garrisons ⚔️ disciplined joiners ❤️ continuous healing 📢 rapid information 🛡️ absent players who are properly protected

EVERY PLAYER MUST KNOW THEIR ROLE BEFORE 12/09.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 1/14 — 🧭 THE ABSOLUTE RULE

During Battle Day:

ASSIGNED ROLE > PERSONAL POWER

A powerful player who:

❌ opens an unrequested rally ❌ uses the wrong heroes ❌ fills a garrison with the wrong ratio ❌ blocks a strategic position ❌ chases kills instead of defending the Castle

can cost the team more than a smaller, perfectly disciplined player.

Ideally, each player will receive one main role:

🔥 Rally Leader 🏰 Garrison Leader ⚔️ Rally Joiner 🛡️ Garrison Reinforcement 🗼 Turret Team ❤️ Healing / Help Team 👁️ Scout / Spotter 📍 Positioning / Support 🪖 Reserve 🛡️ Shielded / Absent

Some players may hold several roles, but never simultaneously unless ordered.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 2/14 — ⚙️ HOW DO RALLIES AND GARRISONS WORK?

🔥 IN AN OFFENSIVE RALLY

The Rally Leader notably provides:

📈 the combat bonuses applied to the rally 👥 the rally’s total capacity 🦸 their three heroes ⚔️ the nine Expedition skills of those heroes 🐾 their pet bonuses and skills 🛡️ their active buffs

Rally members mainly contribute:

🪖 their troops; 🔎 one primary support skill based on the observed and documented mechanics, generally linked to the hero placed in the first position.

Kingshot activates a total of:

4 PRIMARY MEMBER SKILLS

not one skill from every joiner.

⚠️ Kingshot does not publicly describe all the selection and tie-breaking rules for these skills.

K2149 consequence

➡️ use only the requested first-position hero; ➡️ never assume that all three of your heroes pass on all their skills; ➡️ the wrong hero can disrupt the four support slots.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🏰 IN A GARRISON

Kingshot automatically selects the player with the best stat bonuses in the garrison as the source of the defensive bonuses.

The player displayed as Garrison Captain is therefore not necessarily the one whose stats are applied.

The battle also uses:

4 PRIMARY SKILLS FROM OTHER GARRISON MEMBERS

Consequence

A strong garrison requires:

✅ an account providing the best defensive stats ✅ four suitable support skills ✅ a controlled troop ratio ✅ high-level reinforcements ✅ constant rotation of wounded troops

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 3/14 — 👑 COMMAND STRUCTURE

During the battle, orders must come from a single inter-alliance structure.

WAR COMMAND

Ideally:

👑 1 Battle Commander 🔥 1 person in charge of offensive rallies 🏰 1 person in charge of the Castle / garrison 🗼 1 person in charge of Turrets ❤️ 1 person in charge of healing and rotations 📢 1 person in charge of communication 🤝 1 liaison for each battle alliance

Their decisions cover:

• targets • launch times • Rally Leaders • heroes and ratios • positions around the Castle • Castle / Turret rotations • march recalls • withdrawals • changes of plan

A NEW ORDER ALWAYS REPLACES THE OLD ONE.

Detailed tactics remain in the War Room.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📢 OPERATIONAL ORDERS

🔥 RALLY

Join the announced rally with the requested preset.

🏰 GARRISON

Reinforce the indicated structure with the requested defensive composition.

🗼 TURRET

Join or defend only the assigned Turret.

↩️ RECALL

Immediately recall the indicated march.

🟠 HOLD

Do not attack, launch, or change position.

❤️ HEAL

Start small healing queues and respond to Alliance Help requests.

🛡️ SHIELD

Stop fighting, wait for Battle Frenzy to end, and protect the city.

🔴 STOP

Immediately stop the optional action concerned.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 4/14 — 🔥 RALLY LEADER

The Rally Leader turns the troops of many players into a single force.

ONLY DESIGNATED PLAYERS OPEN STRATEGIC RALLIES.

Responsibilities

✅ use the assigned offensive heroes ✅ use the planned pet and buffs ✅ follow the requested ratio ✅ open on the exact target and timer ✅ announce the impact time ✅ check rally capacity ✅ check the four visible support skills ✅ check troop levels and types ✅ have incorrect marches withdrawn if necessary ✅ quickly analyze the report after impact ✅ immediately report the result to command

Before launch

The Rally Leader must check:

• correct target
• correct timer
• three correct heroes
• correct pet
• buffs active
• four suitable support skills
• overall ratio compliant
• enough T10
• route not needlessly crossing Ruins
• next rally already prepared

Never do the following

❌ change heroes at the last moment ❌ open an unrequested competing rally ❌ move your city while the rally is filling ❌ launch with a clearly incorrect composition ❌ redirect the rally toward a city to chase points ❌ improvise because a target “looks easy”

THE RALLY LEADER EXECUTES A COLLECTIVE PLAN.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 5/14 — 🏰 GARRISON LEADER

The Garrison Leader organizes the defense of the Castle or a Turret.

Even though Kingshot automatically applies the best stats present, an operational leader is still required.

Responsibilities

✅ maintain the announced defensive composition ✅ check the support heroes ✅ monitor garrison capacity ✅ request the exact missing troops ✅ remove incorrect reinforcements when necessary ✅ monitor incoming enemy rallies ✅ announce impacts and results ✅ organize rotations before Infirmaries reach capacity ✅ prepare a replacement ✅ hand over the garrison without creating a gap

🆕 GARRISON RATIO DISPLAY

Since the 24/08/2026 update, the garrison screen displays ratios by troop type.

The Garrison Leader must use this display to:

✅ check Infantry / Cavalry / Archer; ✅ immediately detect an imbalance; ✅ request the missing troop type; ✅ check the composition after each rotation; ✅ avoid filling the garrison blindly.

A garrison must never be filled “at random.”

For example, the leader may request:

T10 Infantry only

Defensive Formation B

Approved first-position hero

100K maximum per player

Members must send exactly what is requested.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

⚠️ REINFORCEMENT ORDER

The game processes garrison reinforcements:

1️⃣ first by troop level; 2️⃣ then, at the same level, in the order Infantry → Cavalry → Archer.

This means that:

➡️ available capacity is valuable; ➡️ troops of the wrong level or type can distort the formation; ➡️ reinforcement calls must be followed strictly.

“I’LL SEND WHAT I HAVE” IS NOT A GARRISON STRATEGY.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 6/14 — 🦸 SUPPORT-SKILL JOINER

This role is assigned to players responsible for providing support skills to the rally or garrison.

ESSENTIAL MECHANIC

For a joiner, the hero placed in the first position is critical.

Their first Expedition skill is the one that may be selected among the four activated member skills.

Heroes placed in the second and third positions do not provide four additional skills to the group.

Your mission

✅ place the requested support hero in the first position ✅ check that their Expedition skill is at the requested level ✅ quickly join the assigned structure ✅ keep this hero available for subsequent rotations ✅ warn the team if the hero or march is unavailable

If the requested hero is unavailable

❌ do not choose a random replacement.

Use only:

✅ an approved alternative hero OR ✅ a march without heroes if command requests it OR ✅ wait for another rally

THE WRONG SUPPORT HERO CAN WEAKEN THE ENTIRE GROUP.

The exact offensive and defensive heroes will be communicated in the K2149 operational sheets.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 7/14 — ⚔️ RALLY JOINER

The Rally Joiner must not simply click the first available rally.

Before joining

Check:

• Rally Leader’s name
• authorized target
• offensive or defensive rally
• requested first-position hero
• requested troop ratio
• authorized troop level
• requested maximum quantity
• compatible march time

Your mission

✅ send the exact troops requested ✅ arrive before the timer ends ✅ keep a reserve if a second wave is planned ✅ immediately recall an incorrect march ✅ heal as soon as the troops return ✅ join the next assigned wave

Do not

❌ enable Auto Join without a verified preset ❌ send a Gathering hero in the first position ❌ send all your Archers if the rally lacks Infantry ❌ fill the remaining slots with weak troops ❌ join several incompatible rallies ❌ send your entire army in a single wave

THE RALLY BELONGS TO THE RALLY LEADER, NOT THE JOINER.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 8/14 — 🛡️ GARRISON REINFORCEMENT

This role provides defensive troops to the Castle or Turrets.

Your mission

✅ join only the announced structure ✅ use the requested defensive preset ✅ provide the missing troop type ✅ respect the limit per player ✅ monitor your wounded troops after every impact ✅ regularly replace troops removed from the structure ✅ keep a reserve march if requested

Important

Infantry stands on the front line and absorbs most of the normal pressure.

Archers deal the highest damage but are protected by the front lines.

The defensive formation must therefore be decided according to:

• the Garrison Leader’s stats • the available heroes • the enemy composition • the reports from the first attacks • the Turrets held

DO NOT USE A GENERIC INTERNET RATIO WITHOUT AN ORDER.

The ratio may change during the battle after the reports are analyzed.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 9/14 — 🗼 TURRET TEAM

Turrets can attack the Castle garrison when they are controlled by the opposing side.

They therefore need dedicated teams.

Role of the Turret Team

✅ capture the assigned Turret ✅ reinforce it ✅ prevent it from firing on our Castle ✅ force the enemy to divide its forces ✅ follow the rotations decided by command ✅ immediately report every change of control

Do not

❌ abandon a Turret to chase a city ❌ switch Turrets without an order ❌ withdraw the entire garrison at once ❌ use Castle Rally Leaders for an unapproved secondary objective ❌ assume that all four Turrets always take priority over the Castle

CASTLE = MAIN OBJECTIVE

TURRETS = CONTROL OF THE BALANCE OF POWER

The exact distribution will depend on the opponent.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 10/14 — 👁️ SCOUTS, SPOTTERS, AND INFORMATION

Good information makes it possible to prepare a counter-rally before impact.

SPOTTER

The Spotter watches the map without launching unnecessary hostile actions.

They monitor:

👑 enemy Rally Leaders ⏱️ timers 🎯 targets 📍 whale teleports 🏰 garrison changes 🗼 movements at the Turrets 🔥 cities in Battle Frenzy

ACTIVE SCOUT

They use reconnaissance only when ordered.

⚠️ Scouting or attacking can trigger Battle Frenzy.

The Scout must therefore know:

✅ their protection ✅ their escape route ✅ the risk of a counterattack ✅ the exact purpose of the information being sought

ALERT FORMAT

🚨 Incoming rally

Leader: [name]

Target: Castle / Turret

Impact: 01:35

Origin: coordinates

Approximate capacity: X

Screenshot attached

INFORMATION MUST BE SHORT, TIMESTAMPED, AND ACTIONABLE.

Not twenty discussion messages during the impact.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 11/14 — 📍 POSITIONING AND RESERVE

Positions near the Castle reduce march times.

They must be reserved for players with a specific function.

POSITIONING TEAM

✅ follows the provided coordinates ✅ leaves priority positions to Rally Leaders ✅ avoids Ruins and slowed routes ✅ does not block cities that need to be moved ✅ keeps teleports for changes of plan ✅ immediately reports an open position

RESERVE TEAM

The reserve is not inactive.

It remains available to:

🔥 fill a new rally 🏰 replace a wounded garrison 🗼 retake a Turret ❤️ allow a first wave to heal ⚔️ respond to an enemy teleport

SENDING 100 % OF YOUR TROOPS IMMEDIATELY REMOVES ALL ABILITY TO REACT.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 12/14 — ❤️ HEALING / HELP TEAM

In King’s Castle battles, losses go to the Infirmary until it is full.

Once it reaches capacity:

NEW LOSSES MAY DIE.

The entire kingdom must therefore maintain healing discipline.

PLAYER IN BATTLE

1️⃣ receive the wounded 2️⃣ start a small healing queue 3️⃣ request Alliance Help 4️⃣ collect the troops 5️⃣ immediately repeat the process 6️⃣ return to the rotation

The exact queue duration will be calibrated according to our number of Ally Assists and our technologies.

The objective is for Alliance Help to clear it very quickly.

HELP TEAM

Even a low-power account can:

✅ stay online ✅ continuously click Alliance Help ✅ remind players who start queues that are too long ✅ report Infirmaries that are close to capacity ✅ maintain the pace during major impacts

Avoid

❌ starting a healing queue lasting several hours without coordination ❌ waiting until the Infirmary is full ❌ using all your Healing Speedups on the very first impact ❌ returning to battle without checking your remaining capacity

The complete mechanics will be detailed in Guide 09.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 13/14 — 🌱 SMALL ACCOUNTS, F2P, AND ABSENT PLAYERS

🌱 SMALL ACCOUNT / F2P

You are useful if you:

✅ reach your Prep objectives ✅ join with the correct hero ✅ send only the requested troop level ✅ help the assigned garrisons and Turrets ✅ heal continuously ✅ click Alliance Help ✅ observe and relay information ✅ protect your city

If you cannot provide the requested troops:

DO NOT FILL A CRITICAL SLOT WITH UNSUITABLE TROOPS.

Instead, help with healing, Alliance Help, and support tasks.

🌾 FARMS AND SECONDARY ACCOUNTS

✅ full shield ✅ Alliance Help ✅ logistical support ✅ participation only when ordered

❌ do not leave an unprotected farm that gives away free points.

🛡️ ABSENT PLAYER

Before leaving:

• shield covering the entire absence
• no exposed Gathering march
• no troops sent to a city at risk
• Battle Frenzy ended
• farm protected as well
• alliance informed if you had a role
• replacement confirmed

AN UNSHIELDED, UNATTENDED CITY IS A TARGET, NOT A REINFORCEMENT.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

MESSAGE 14/14 — 🚨 PROCEDURE AND MISTAKES TO AVOID

BEFORE BATTLE DAY

• role received
• battle alliance confirmed
• first-position heroes prepared
• attack and defense presets created
• teleports available
• Infirmary emptied
• healing resources available
• replacement planned for critical roles
• operational channel joined

📘 The game technically allows an alliance change during the Battle Phase, but the points concerned are reset.

🎯 K2149 RULE: NO CHANGES DURING THE BATTLE

Assignments must be completed before 10:00 UTC.

After the Battle Phase begins:

❌ no rotation between battle alliances; ❌ no changes to join another rally; ❌ no changes for personal rewards; ❌ no improvised correction of a bad roster.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

THE 12 MOST DANGEROUS MISTAKES

❌ opening a rally without authorization ❌ joining the wrong Rally Leader ❌ using the wrong hero in the first position ❌ believing that all three joiner heroes provide all their skills ❌ sending the wrong troop level ❌ changing the requested ratio yourself ❌ filling an already unbalanced garrison ❌ ignoring RECALL or STOP ❌ abandoning your role to chase kills ❌ allowing the Infirmary to overflow ❌ blocking a Rally Leader’s position ❌ fighting without listening to the operational channel

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🧠 CHOOSE YOUR ROLE

I am one of the most powerful accounts

🔥 Rally Leader or source of garrison stats

I have the requested support heroes

🦸 Support-Skill Joiner

I have many T10

⚔️ Rally Joiner / Garrison Reinforcement

I am active and responsive

🗼 Turret / Reserve / Rotation

I am less powerful

❤️ Heal / Help / Support / Spotter

I will be absent

🛡️ Full shield

EVERYONE CAN CONTRIBUTE.

NO ONE SHOULD IMPROVISE.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🎯 K2149 RULE

THE RIGHT LEADER

THE FOUR RIGHT SKILLS

THE RIGHT RATIO

THE RIGHT TROOPS

IN THE RIGHT PLACE

AT THE RIGHT TIME

This is how hundreds of accounts become one army.
