8 Essential Tips Every New Kingshot Governor Should Know

Starting out in Kingshot can feel overwhelming. I’ve been there myself — not knowing where to spend, which heroes to focus on, or how to use speedups effectively. Over time I’ve learned a lot, and here are 8 tips that will help every new Governor grow faster and avoid common mistakes.

1. Troop Composition for Bear Hunts

• Common setup: 10% Infantry / 10% Cavalry / 80% Archers
• Reason: Archers have a passive skill with a 10% chance of double attack
• Beginners: Don’t stress if you can’t field enough Archers — use a 3:3:3 ratio instead
• Unless your alliance requires 10-10-80, just focus on using the troops you have

---

2. Why Your Alliance Choice Matters

• Join a Top 1–3 alliance on your server for faster growth
► Benefits include:

• Daily alliance gift rewards from whales (big spenders)

• More active rally hunts = more loot

• Rewards from Fortress & alliance events
  • Always donate to alliance tech — recommended ones give +20% extra rewards
  • Spend alliance coins on speedups, resources, and Teleports (buy 70% off ones first)

---

3. Spending Money the Smart Way

• Skip packs under 2000% bonus value — not worth it
• Weekly/Monthly cards give Diamonds, resources, VIP EXP, and auto-hunt features
• Consider buying VIP time with Diamonds to claim daily VIP rewards
✔ Strong recommendation: Salvo (construction hero) → reduces build time & cost

---

4. Managing Speedups

• Speedups are always short, so use them wisely
• Save for big events like Strongest Governor
• Don’t waste universal speedups unless necessary
• Stockpile whenever possible — they are your lifeline

---

5. Battles and Raids – Be Careful

• Attacking early often costs more than it gives
• Defenders get buffs → attackers risk both wounded and dead troops
• Defenders mostly get wounded, which can be healed
• Troop numbers = power → avoid reckless raids

---

6. Best Uses for Diamonds

• Don’t waste Diamonds on construction speedups
► Recommended uses:

• Roulette events → collect strong hero fragments

• VIP EXP → reach VIP 6 quickly for +1 march queue

---

7. Universal Hero Shards – Save Them

• Universal shards are extremely valuable
• Don’t spend them on J-Bell — save for Marin and future key heroes
✔ This choice alone can decide your long-term success

---

8. Which Epic Heroes to Focus On

• Chenko & Yeonwoo → essential for rallies
• Diana → stamina boost & faster monster hunting
• Howard & Gordon → strong defense for Fortress & alliance rallies
• Diana’s fragments appear in Wilderness Trial events → keep collecting even after maxing her

Final Thoughts

Success in Kingshot comes down to smart early decisions: alliance choice, spending habits, speedup usage, and hero priorities. Small differences at the start will grow into huge gaps later.
