To maximize your initial recruitment in Conquest of Nine Kingdoms, save all premium currency from gift codes and early missions for limited-time hero banners rather than spending it immediately on standard recruitment pools. Check your in-game mailbox after redeeming any promo code to claim your rewards before attempting to pull.
Redeeming Gift Codes and Claiming Rewards
Gift codes provide immediate stockpiles of recruitment currency and growth items, but they require manual claim steps.
- Open your profile icon or navigate to the in-game settings sub-menu to find the code entry field.
- Enter your gift code and submit it.
- Open your in-game mailbox immediately to collect the items, as code rewards do not automatically deposit into your inventory balance.
Hold the claimed currency until you can perform multiple summons at once on a featured banner. Consolidating your spending into a single pull window helps you reach pity thresholds or trigger milestone rewards before limited banners rotate.
If a gift code fails due to expiration, server age restrictions, or regional limits, shift your focus to completing early "Newbie" missions. These quest chains grant non-random progression items and recruitment tickets to keep your base developing.
Evaluating Featured Hero Banners
Before committing currency to a banner, open the Recruit menu to inspect the featured commander's skills and expiration timer.
- Check specialization: Look for commanders with strong active skills or growth stats tailored to your main unit types, such as archers or cavalry.
- Review banner duration: Note the remaining time on the current banner.
- Assess milestone requirements: If a banner is about to end and your current currency balance cannot reach the next guaranteed pull or pity milestone, hold your resources for the next rotation instead of making partial attempts.
Balancing Recruitment and Base Growth
Spend your gift code items to accelerate early city construction and reach base level milestones quickly. Unlocking daily quests establishes a steady secondary income of recruitment tickets alongside code redemptions.
When deciding where to allocate your premium resources, balance immediate combat needs with expansion goals:
- Hero Banners: Spend currency here if your primary objective is assembling strong unit leaders for player-versus-player combat and alliance battles.
- City Development: Allocate resources toward construction speed-ups if your alliance requires rapid territorial expansion and base leveling.

The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
Can you add more details about early game in a future update?
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
