Kingshot KvK Power Push Guide: How to Maximize Event Power Gains

To achieve a massive power spike during a Kingshot Kingdom vs Kingdom (KvK) event, hold back your routine upgrades and save all speedups, high-tier troop batches, and research completions for the active KvK scoring window.

Instead of applying small upgrades daily, hoard your resources during the preparation phase to maximize your event leaderboard rank and avoid drawing premature attention from enemy kingdoms.

How to Buffer and Execute a Power Push

Executing a successful KvK power push requires managing your queues in advance and timing your spending precisely when the power-gain sub-events unlock.

Buffer Troop Queues in Advance: Keep all barracks running continuously before the event starts. Do not collect trained troops from your barracks until the KvK power-gain scoring phase begins. Harvesting these pre-trained queues instantly dumps large amounts of power onto your profile at zero speedup cost.
Focus Speedups on High-Tier Troops: Troop production yields the largest direct power increase. Once the scoring window opens, use accumulated speedups exclusively on your highest unlocked troop tiers to maximize power generated per minute of speedup used.
Time Major Building and Tech Finishes: Structure upgrades (such as the Castle or Watchtower) and high-level technology research provide permanent power and stat boosts. Initiate long-duration research and construction during the prep period, but use speedups to complete them only while event scoring is live.

Power Source	Primary Preparation Action	KvK Execution Phase
Troop Training	Run barracks 24/7; leave completed queues uncollected	Harvest stored troops and use speedups on high-tier units
Building Upgrades	Start long upgrades on core structures like Castle/Watchtower	Finish construction with speedups during scoring events
Technology Research	Queue deep research projects with long timer durations	Complete research projects using accumulated research speedups

Managing Defensive Risks and Resource Caps

Rapidly increasing your power during KvK makes your city a high-priority target for enemy rallies. Before executing your push, prepare your defenses to protect your new rating:

Assign Defensive Heroes: Set your strongest defensive hero lineup to your city wall before spending your speedups.
Coordinate Reinforcements: Notify alliance members before initiating your push so they can send reinforcing troops to your city if enemy alliances attempt defensive counter-strikes.
Account for Growth Plateaus: A burst push relies entirely on stored speedups and pre-buffered queues. Once those stockpiles empty, growth will level off. Avoid spending all strategic speedups in early event phases if your kingdom needs emergency power spikes for late-stage territorial defense.
