Furnace y ciudad
Full guideEl Furnace bloquea casi todo: niveles de edificios, tiers de tropas y funciones nuevas.

- Luego el Research Center y tus campamentos de tropas.
- Usa tu segunda cola para prerrequisitos, campamentos y la Embassy.

Heroes
Full guideGold-tier (Mythic) heroes release in generations as your state ages. Each generation adds an Infantry, Lancer and Marksman hero.
TL;DR Pick one main hero per troop type and invest deeply. Spreading shards across many heroes is the most common early mistake.
Core rules
- One main Mythic per troop type: Infantry Lancer Marksman.
- Build Jeronimo early. He’s the usual rally captain for years.
- Joining a rally? Put Jessie (or Jasser) in the first slot.
- Save shards when a new generation is close.

- Economy when resources hold you back; Battle once you’re fighting.
- Never let the queue sit idle; save research speedups for event days.

Chief Gear, Charms & Pets
Full guideLong-term stat systems that separate whales from everyone else, but F2P can build them too.
TL;DR Raise Chief Gear evenly: set bonuses need 3 or 6 pieces of the same quality. Spread charms evenly. Pick pets for the skill you’ll use most.
At a glance
- Chief Gear (Furnace 22): raise pieces evenly for the 3- and 6-piece set bonuses.
- Charms (Furnace 25): spread upgrades evenly. Early levels are cheap.
- Pets (Furnace 18): level one at a time, picked for the skill you use most.

Events
Full guideEvents are where most rewards come from. Know which ones to save for, and which ones stack.
TL;DR Stack effort: use speedups and resources only when two events score the same action at once.
Growth events
| Event | When | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| SvS | ~4 weeks | Save speedups for prep days; shield on battle day. |
| King of Icefield | ~2 weeks after SvS | Only the day’s theme scores. Opens after your first SvS. |
| Hall of Chiefs | Young states | One theme per day; later replaced by King of Icefield. |

Batallas de alianza
Full guideEventos recurrentes de alianza. En la mayoría pesan más la coordinación y la asistencia que el poder bruto. Cada uno tiene su página a fondo.
TL;DR Regístrate a tiempo, preséntate, sigue a tus líderes de rally y recuerda que las tropas de Foundry Battle se recuperan después, así que pelea a fondo.
Lo esencial
| Evento | Cuándo | Recuerda |
|---|---|---|
| Bear Hunt | Cada ~2 días | Jessie en slot 1, mucho Marksman, únete a cada rally. |
| Crazy Joe | Semanal | Quédate online; las oleadas 10 y 20 van al HQ. |
| Foundry Battle | Cada ~2 semanas | Toma y mantén el Imperial Foundry. Las tropas se recuperan después. |
| Alliance Championship | Semanal (registro lun–mié) | Batalla automática. Registra tu marcha más fuerte. |
| Fortress & Stronghold | Viernes | Mantén un edificio 30 min para tomarlo. Las Fortresses pagan mejor. |
| Canyon Clash | Mensual (jueves) | El Fuel lo es todo. No lo desperdicies. |
| Sunfire Castle | Durante SvS | Mantén 2,5 horas seguidas para ganar; disputa las torretas. |
