Forge of Empires King Arthur Event Superboard and Reward Guide

To maximize milestone progression toward Excalibur rewards in the Forge of Empires King Arthur's Return Event, clear standard puzzle boards to collect unlock pieces, save board tools for the activated Superboard, and spend event currency primarily when a desirable Daily Special is active.

Board Clearing Mechanics

The event uses a tile-grid board where clearing clusters drops progress pieces and reward chests toward the bottom row. Every move costs event currency.

Target cascades: Clear larger clusters rather than isolated tiles to trigger chain reactions that move high-tier items down the board.
Preserve currency: Do not spend moves solely to clear empty space; each action should advance a chest, key, or progress item toward the bottom collection threshold.
Maintain currency income: Complete the immediate rush questline early, collect incident spawns in your city daily, and claim the daily login currency bonus.

Unlocking and Playing the Superboard

The Superboard replaces the default grid with enhanced reward multipliers, prize tokens, and increased odds for the active Daily Special. It unlocks after collecting required Superboard pieces or reaching specific board milestones during regular play.

Feature	Standard Board	Superboard
Primary Goal	Collect Superboard pieces and keys	Gather Excalibur progress and doubled prizes
Currency Spend	Minimal moves to clear key targets	Full investment while high multipliers are active
Tool Priority	Low; rely on natural tile matches	High; use tools to secure trapped high-value rewards

Do not trigger the Superboard without enough currency and tools to clear it thoroughly. Monitor your collection gauge so you can plan runs around desirable Daily Specials.

Grid Tools and Rival Challenges

Grid tools allow targeted manipulation of the board when natural matches are unavailable:

Hammers and line breakers: Use single-target removal tools only when a high-value piece or chest is trapped directly above the collection row with no matching adjacent tiles.
Color shufflers: If a board layout has few matching clusters across the entire grid, reset tile placement with a shuffler rather than burning multiple individual removal tools.
Rival Challenges: Keep a reserve of boosters for time-limited Rival Challenges. These mini-events frequently require clearing specific colors, opening chests, or popping a target number of tiles under tight conditions.

Grand Prize Milestones and Daily Specials

Milestone progress accumulates as items drop off the bottom of the board, unlocking building upgrades and Excalibur reward tiers.

Pace your progress: Divide the total milestone requirement by the event duration to track whether your daily clears keep you on schedule for the final building upgrade.
Avoid early board resets: If a board still has easily reachable progress items, spend the remaining few moves to collect them before triggering a reset.
Target Daily Specials: The Daily Special pool rotates every 24 hours. Save event currency when the active prize does not suit your city, then spend your reserves and trigger accumulated Superboards on days offering buildings or kits you need.
