What anybody can do during a Kill Event

During a KvK Kill Events (KvK KE) regardless of your Stronghold size, your power, or your troop count you can help the kingdom and alliance be successful.


Protect yourself

The number one thing is protect yourself.  The point of a kill event is to kill troops and/or traps so don't let yours get killed.  The best way is to keep yourself shielded with a 24 hour or 3 day shield.  While 8 hours are cheaper you never know when real life is going to happen and keep you from getting back on to reset your shied.  I only recommend using this if you are actually attacking and you need to shield temporary during the event.

The same is true with fake/ghost rallies.  I generally don't recommend a fake/ghost rally during a Kill Event. The reason for this because outlanders don't know that you are rallied, so all they will see is an unshielded city.  This will invite them to come to the hive to hit you.  It is never a good idea to bring unwanted attention to the hive.

Also always remember outlanders can stay for 4 hours after the event, so you will need to remember they don't leave right away.


Kill monsters

Monster killing is another great way to help during a KvK KE.

It is good to kill monsters in both kingdoms as you get points in the outlanders kingdom for each hit and kill and if you stay home for every monster you kill you keep the outlanders from getting points.

You will also get the alliance gifts for the monster kills.

What I recommend is to form a few groups to kill monsters in the outlanders kingdom or in yours. By grouping up you can team up on higher level monsters to kill them faster. You will be able to get more points by hitting and killing the highest level monsters you can.  So stock up on energy, wings (to keep outlanders from poaching yours and for poaching theirs), and monster attack boosts. 

You will also want to set your monster skill points to where you can get the most out of each hit.  You don't need to worry about energy recovery as it will not do you any good.  You will need to hit monsters must faster then it will recover.

Also STAY SHIELDED.


Scout

During the KvK people that are attacking are always looking for targets if you are on during the KvK KE scouting our kingdom and outlander kingdom for targets is very helpful. During the event the main alliances will be out hitting targets.   During the event there will be a place for reporting what you find, so check with your alliance on what the process is for them. 

The big hitters will generally be looking for 1-2 Billion power players in the outlander kingdom (more likely to be offline) to rally and medium hitters will be looking for small hives with unshielded players, or 400 million to 1.2 billion power levels to rally and 40 - 100 million for solo hits.

When you report a player please use all three cords k:x:y with the ":" so that people can click on them and go straight to the target.  It is very important to use all three as the first number is the kingdom and people will be jumping from kingdom to kingdom and will need that coordinate to be able to the coordinate in the right kingdom.   

Also report the players power level and if they are holding hero. For example 537:169:473 8 mill holding (if the player is holding heroes).

Help with Rallies

Even if you are not able to actually commit troops to a rally you can still help members that are.  

The number one thing is to keep chat clear of idle banter so the players that are fighting can communicate with each other without having Alliance Chat full of other stuff.  

• Help watch for your teammates.  When players are rallying they may be in and out of the map screen so if you can help watch them and let them know if enemies are porting in, setting rallies on them, or attacking this can help keep everybody up to date on what is happening during the rally.  

• Help watch enemy heroes. Along with watching for what is happening.  It can be helpful to watch enemy heroes for the fighters.  If a player is getting rallied/soloed help by checking what the hero has equipped.  It will be especially helpful to call out if a hero has cores or full sets (that provide set bonuses) equipped. 
• This information will be key for traps accounts so that they will be able to know if they can  take the hit or not.
• Also note that during battles smart players will switch hero gear and many will time it for right before they attack.  Never just assume what they have started with is what they plan on hitting with.  
• Cores will have flames in the bottom of the item.
• Full sets will make the hero "glow".  They hero will have yellow rays coming out of it. 

• Help speed troops to the rally leader.You can help other players that are sending troops by using your wings to speed their troops.  When players sending troops to the rally leader you can go into the Hall of War and click on the green speed button and speed their troops for them.  This will help them get their troops to the rally leader faster and allow them to focus on other things in the heat of battle.
