Kingshot: 7 Alliance Mistakes Costing You Viking Vengeance Reward!

Viking Vengeance is one of the most rewarding alliance events in Kingshot—if you know how to play it right. But even one misstep by you or your alliance members can drastically reduce your score and rob everyone of precious satin and gilded threads. In this blog, I’ve identified the seven most common mistakes that hold players back.

Whether you are new or just want to know how your alliance members might be accidentally holding back your score, this blog will help improve your rewards FAST. Also, share this with your alliance, and watch your rewards soar.

Mistake 1: Defending Your Own Town

It sounds counterintuitive, but leaving troops in your own city is a surefire way to limit points. Here’s why:

• You earn a fixed amount of points per wave for successfully defending your town—regardless of how many kills your troops get.
• Meanwhile, reinforcing others earns you additional points based on kills.

If everyone leaves troops at home, you’re effectively leaving thousands of points on the table. Instead, empty your city and reinforce others. Only leave troops behind if you literally have more than you can send out.

🛡️ Worried about defense? A town reinforced with 200K–300K T8+ troops can usually survive even Difficulty 11.

 

Mistake 2: Healing Troops Mid-Event

Healing troops during the event pulls them back into your city—where they’ll “steal” kills from players reinforcing you and reduce their points.

Healing rarely changes the outcome of a battle, but it does hurt your alliance’s overall score. If you must heal, do it before Wave 10 or 20, and immediately send those troops out again.

Mistake 3: Sending Your Best Heroes to Reinforce

You might think reinforcing with maxed-out heroes is smart, but it’s not that simple.

When you reinforce someone, their hero stats become the default for the rally—unless your stats are higher. Meanwhile, your own city (even with no troops) uses your heroes for defense when others reinforce you.

So, keep your best heroes at home. It’s an insurance policy for your city’s defense and helps everyone score better.

 

Mistake 4: Camping troops at the Headquarters

The HQ is only attacked in Waves 10 and 20. Leaving troops there throughout the event means missing out on points from reinforcing player cities in other waves.

Plus, since rally slots are limited, you’re competing with allies for a share of HQ points. Work with your alliance to set rules—like a troop cap or rotation—so everyone gets a fair shot without sacrificing overall points.

 

Mistake 5: Going Offline After Sending Reinforcements

If you log off during the event, you’re not just hurting yourself—you’re hurting your alliance.

Waves 7, 14, and 17 skip offline players. That means no points for you or anyone reinforcing you during those rounds. Since later waves give more points, this can crush your score.

Even if you can’t play actively, leave the game open. Your online presence matters.

 

Mistake 6: Ignoring Viking Combat Mechanics

Viking combat doesn’t work like PvP or PvE. Key differences:

• Troops attack in order: Infantry → Cavalry → Archers
• Defenders attack first
• If enough infantry are present, they can wipe Vikings before other troop types even act

This means reinforcing with infantry-heavy marches often yields more kills—and more points. If you must leave troops at home, leave archers. They’re least likely to steal kills.

 

Mistake 7: Not Adapting Reinforcement Positions

Don’t “set and forget” your reinforcements. Monitor battle reports:

• If someone is offline or hoarding troops at home, move your marches elsewhere.
• If a player is getting reinforced by much stronger players, you may earn fewer points. Consider moving to a less crowded city.
• Stay flexible—especially in later waves where points are higher.

 

How to Maximize Your Viking Vengeance Rewards

To recap, make sure your alliance follows these rules:

• ✅ Reinforce others—don’t defend yourself
• ✅ Avoid healing during active waves
• ✅ Keep your best heroes at home
• ✅ Only defend HQ during Rounds 10 & 20
• ✅ Stay online for the full event
• ✅ Send infantry-heavy marches to HQ
• ✅ Stay flexible and monitor battle logs

Share this guide with your alliance. Better coordination = better rewards for everyone.
