Viking Rise Reroll Guide: Best Starter Heroes and Reset Steps

To get the strongest early start in Viking Rise, reroll on a guest account until you unlock the Hall of Valor, spend your initial summoning currency, and secure a top combat Legendary such as Ivette or Greg before binding your account.

Because Viking Rise is a kingdom-building strategy game, account growth relies heavily on building queues, research, and territory control. Spending days rerolling can delay your Chief Hall upgrades and alliance placement. However, securing a dedicated combat commander on day one lowers troop casualties in early PvE fights and gives you an immediate military advantage.

Step-by-Step Reroll Process

Complete only the mandatory tutorial tasks to reach the summoning interface as quickly as possible:

Launch as a guest: Open the game without linking an Apple, Google, or social media profile. Linking early prevents easy account resets.
Clear the opening tutorial: Follow the objective tracker to reclaim the initial settlement, defeat the first scripted hostile units, and place required starter buildings.
Restore the Hall of Valor: Continue the tutorial until the Hall of Valor is repaired and accessible. This unlocks the recruitment banners.
Collect launch currency: Open the system mailbox, active event tabs, and gift exchange menus to claim all free Summoning Stones and gems.
Summon commanders: Spend your accumulated Summoning Stones on the standard recruitment pool.
Decide whether to keep or reset: If you pull a priority combat hero, link your account in the settings menu. If not, reset your data and start over.

Step	Action	Estimated Time
Tutorial Run	Complete mandatory village reclamation quests	8–12 minutes
Resource Claim	Collect mail rewards, pre-registration items, and codes	1–2 minutes
Recruitment	Pull on the Hall of Valor standard banner	1 minute
Account Decision	Link if satisfied; reset data or change server if not	1–2 minutes

How to Reset Your Account

If your pulls do not yield a premier combat commander, use the platform-appropriate reset method:

Android: Close the game, open your device settings, find Viking Rise under Apps, and clear the app storage data. Relaunch the game to start a new guest profile.
iOS: In-game account wiping can be limited on iOS. If guest data persists after reinstalling, tap your avatar in the top-left corner, go to Settings, and select Account Management to switch to a different unlinked login method.
Kingdom Server Switch (All Platforms): Open your player settings, view the kingdom list, and create a new character on a newly opened kingdom server. This bypasses the need to clear local data or redownload game assets.

Best Legendary Commanders to Target

Focus strictly on combat commanders who lead armies and clear map threats. Gathering-focused commanders provide passive resource benefits later, but they do not help your early military clearing power.

Commander	Role Archetype	Primary Battlefield Strength	Target Priority
Ivette	Crowd Control / Magic	Stuns neutral camps and enemy marches, minimizing troop injuries	Top Target (S-Tier)
Greg	Ranged Area-of-Effect	Deals massive wide-area damage to clear enemy squads quickly	Top Target (S-Tier)
Bradley	Siege / Direct Damage	Applies direct offensive pressure during field clashes and outpost fights	Strong Alternative (A-Tier)
Sheila	Support / Utility	Provides sustained utility that preserves march longevity in drawn-out fights	Strong Alternative (A-Tier)

Top Targets: Ivette and Greg

Ivette is the most impactful early roll because her crowd control limits enemy attacks, directly cutting the resources and time needed to heal wounded troops. Greg provides heavy area-of-effect damage, speeding up map clearing against clustered neutral enemies.

Acceptable Alternatives: Bradley and Sheila

Bradley offers steady direct military damage, while Sheila provides army sustain. If you pull either of these alongside viable Epic combat units, you can safely keep the roll.

Heroes to Avoid on a Reroll

Do not keep an account solely for Legendary gathering or economic heroes. Economic units do not provide the combat stats required to contest map objectives, and you will naturally acquire gathering heroes and shards over regular play through daily tasks and standard tokens.

When to Stop Rerolling

Stop rerolling and bind your account immediately when you meet either of these conditions:

You pull Ivette or Greg.
You pull Bradley or Sheila alongside two complementary Epic combat commanders.

Once you have a functional combat core, shift all focus to upgrading your Chief Hall, training higher-tier troops, and joining an active alliance to secure territorial rewards.
