To maximize rewards during the Vikings television series crossover in Vikingard, spend your daily event energy before it caps, sweep your highest 3-star stage whenever difficulty halts forward progress, and spend all event tokens on exclusive Hersir shards and recruitment vouchers before buying standard upgrade items.
Crossover Event Hubs and Structure
The Vikings collaboration runs through a dedicated interface separate from the normal campaign. Instead of consuming standard campaign stamina, the event uses standalone crossover action points that replenish on a daily timer.
Content is divided into three primary sections:
- The Story Journey: A series of sequential narrative stages offering first-clear rewards, introducing crossover opponents, and unlocking subsequent challenge nodes.
- The Daily Challenge Board: Recurring combat and dispatch assignments that serve as the main daily source of event exchange currency.
- The Milestone Tier Track: An automated score meter that unlocks cumulative progress rewards, such as cosmetic frames, titles, and Hersir recruitment shards, as you earn event points.
Failing to spend event stamina before daily resets reduces your total milestone score and risks locking you out of the highest milestone thresholds before the event window closes.
Daily Routine and Energy Management
Because event stamina pools have low capacity caps, unspent energy ceases generating additional attempts once full. Establish a consistent daily order of operations:
- Claim all free daily supply bundles available in the event storefront.
- Complete every active task on the Daily Challenge Board, including village resource expenditures, Hersir challenges, and crossover scouting dispatches.
- Advance the Story Journey until you meet a stage requirement your current roster cannot beat.
- Spend all remaining crossover energy sweeping the highest repeatable combat node you have already cleared with a 3-star rating.
Sweeping completed stages ensures zero energy expires unused and keeps event token generation steady even when your roster hits a temporary progression wall.
Combat Mechanics and Lineup Setup
Collab challenge nodes introduce tighter turn limits and sturdier front lines than standard early-game story battles.
| Combat Factor | Event Challenge Mechanics | Tactical Adjustment |
|---|---|---|
| Front-Line Durability | Enemy vanguards gain high damage reduction and defensive shields. | Deploy Hersirs with armor-shredding abilities or burst physical damage to break shields quickly. |
| Turn Limit Timers | High star ratings require clearing stages within strict round limits. | Replace secondary defensive support units with offensive buffers to increase team damage per second. |
| Stamina Depletion | Defeats consume partial event stamina attempts. | Inspect enemy formations before entering a battle; do not test unranked lineups on high-tier boss nodes. |
Position your top three damage-dealing Hersirs outside the direct line of multi-target boss attacks to keep them alive throughout multi-wave fights. When managing skill execution, save major offensive abilities to clear summoned minions immediately rather than expending them against shielded bosses.
Event Shop Priority
Event tokens should be spent exclusively on limited-availability assets. Standard resources can be farmed in regular game modes year-round, whereas crossover items cannot be earned once the event finishes.
Spend tokens in the following order:
- Collab Hersir Shards and Recruitment Vouchers: Secure these first. Unlocking and star-ranking featured crossover characters requires specific shards unavailable in normal recruitment pools after the event concludes.
- Exclusive Cosmetics and Relics: Themed weapon skins, mounts, and companions provide permanent account Might attributes that persist indefinitely.
- High-Tier Ascension Materials: Direct surplus currency into scarce upgrade components, such as Hersir promotion seals and beast feed.
Avoid purchasing standard gold, base stamina horns, or common draw tickets until all exclusive character shards and relics are fully claimed.
Integrating Crossover Hersirs
Acquiring a crossover Hersir permanently increases your kingdom's overall standing through baseline character bonds and global Might bonuses. However, active combat deployment depends on your current roster needs:
- Direct Main-Team Upgrades: If a new crossover hero fills a missing element or weapon class in your primary squad, reallocate upgrade resources from a lower-tier placeholder unit directly into the recruit.
- Secondary Deployments: If your core team already features fully upgraded high-tier Hersirs, assign the crossover recruit as an expedition leader or secondary vanguard rather than spreading limited upgrade materials across redundant primary units.

This saved me time in the early game.
This helped me understand updates much better.
Good guide for Vikingard players. The updates part was useful.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
