Guide

F2P – If you're not using the Kingshot Optimizer, there’s a clear upgrade guide and Mithril progression explained here, which you can adapt to your needs.

 

Gear Progression Guide (source Reddit) We will upgrade in 4 phases, focusing on balance first, then pushing into red gear while prioritizing the +20 boost pieces. Mastery forging is included in the plan for maximum efficiency.

 

Phase 1 – Baseline Push

Infantry Health → Chest & Gloves to 100

Archer Lethality → Helmet & Boots to 100 

Cavalry Lethality → Helmet & Boots to 100

Infantry Lethality → Helmet & Boots to 50

Archer Health → Chest & Gloves to 50

Cavalry Health → Chest & Gloves to 50

 

Mastery Forging Rule (Phase 1):

• Keep all pieces at Level 5 Mastery until they reach Level 100

• At Level 100, raise mastery forging to Level 10 and stop there (unless pushing to red later)

 

Phase 2 – Advance Core to Red (+20 Priority Order)

Infantry Gloves → red gear +39

Archer Helmet → red gear +39

Cavalry Helmet → red gear +39

Infantry Chest → red gear +19

Archer Boots → red gear +19

Cavalry Boots → red gear +19 

 

Mastery Forging Rule (Phase 2):

• For pieces going to +19 or +39, raise mastery forging to Level 11

• Continue leveling mastery as needed to progress further down the red path

 

Phase 3 – Advance Secondary to 100

Infantry Lethality → Helmet & Boots to 100

Archer Health → Chest & Gloves to 100 (do not red gear)

Cavalry Health → Chest & Gloves to 100 (do not red gear)

 

Mastery Forging Rule (Phase 3):

• Same as Phase 1 → keep all non-red pieces at Level 5 Mastery until they reach 100, then forge to Level 10 and stop 

 

Phase 4 – Finalize Reds for Secondary (+20 Priority Order)

Infantry Gloves → red gear +39

Archer Helmet → red gear +39

Cavalry Helmet → red gear +39

Infantry Chest → red gear +19

Archer Boots → red gear +19

Cavalry Boots → red gear +19

⚠ Archer & Cavalry Health remain capped at 100, no red gear beyond this 

 

Mastery Forging Rule (Phase 4):

• For red upgrades, mastery forging goes to Level 11 minimum

• Keep advancing mastery as needed to reach +19 and +39 targets

 

Key Notes

• Always finish baseline (100/50) before pushing red gear

• Push +39 pieces first (gloves & helmets) since they give better boosts

• Mastery forging should stay low (Lv5) until gear reaches 100

• At 100, push to Lv10 — only red-path gear goes to Lv11+

•  This ensures efficient use of both resources and hammers.

 

You will start using Mithril when you upgrade your Red Gear from level +19 to level +20. It is a very rare material. Make sure to buy it in the trial shop every week and exchange your items for it during events.
