Achieving a massive haul of 72.5 million medals during the Asgard event in Vikings: War of Clans is not about individual "perfect" victories; it is about volume, speed, and managing your troops as a renewable resource. To hit these high-tier milestones, you must shift your mindset from defensive preservation to a high-frequency offensive cycle. This guide breaks down the mechanics of sustained aggression, troop replenishment, and target selection required to dominate the Asgard leaderboard.
The Strategy: High-Frequency Offensive Cycles
The secret to accumulating tens of millions of medals lies in "active time" rather than "damage per hit." In Vikings: War of Clans, the Asgard event rewards consistent engagement. If you spend time scouting for the perfect, massive rally target, you are wasting precious event time that could be spent clearing multiple smaller, easier targets.
Key components of the high-frequency approach include:
- Constant Marching: Your Hero and troops should never be idle. If your marches are back at base, you are losing potential medals.
- Aggression Over Precision: Do not wait for the "best" target. Identify active tiles or weakly defended towns and strike immediately.
- Volume-Based Scoring: The game rewards the total number of enemy troops destroyed. Ten small, successful attacks on gathering tiles often net more medals in less time than one drawn-out, high-risk battle against a reinforced stronghold.
Optimizing Troop Deployment for Rapid Replenishment
The biggest mistake players make during Asgard is burning their high-tier troops (T8-T10) too aggressively. When those troops fall, your training queues become the bottleneck, forcing you to stop attacking while you wait for replacements.
To maintain a 72.5 million medal pace, you must balance your troop composition. Use a mix of tiers:
- The "Disposable" Core: Use lower-tier troops for the bulk of your tile-hitting and scouting. These units train faster and cost fewer resources, allowing you to sustain a "constant-attack" state.
- The Elite Reserve: Reserve your highest-tier units for high-value targets where a win is guaranteed. If you lose your entire elite stock, your ability to score effectively drops to zero for the remainder of the event.
- The Refresh Rate: Monitor your training speed buffs. Your objective is to keep your barracks outputting troops at a rate that matches or exceeds your average loss rate during the event.
Mastering Asgard Tile Combat
Attacking players on resource tiles is the most efficient way to farm medals. Unlike attacking a Town, which involves complicated defensive buildings, traps, and potentially massive reinforcements, a tile hit is a straightforward battle against the troops currently sitting on that node.
- Scout, Don’t Guess: Spend the silver to scout tiles. If a tile is empty or defended by a small amount of troops, it is a "medal bank."
- Targeting Active Players: Look for players who are actively resetting their tiles. You can often time your marches to land seconds after they arrive, catching them off guard and maximizing your kill count.
- Risk Mitigation: Tile hits carry significantly less risk of losing your Hero compared to town raids. If a target looks "fishy" (high power, suspicious troop composition), skip it. There are always more targets on the map.
Balancing Losses and Medal Rewards
You cannot reach 72.5 million medals without accepting that your troop count will fluctuate significantly. You must view your troops as "fuel" for the medal furnace. However, this doesn't mean you should be reckless.
To maintain net-positive growth:
- Efficiency Ratio: Before launching an attack, quickly estimate if the potential medal gain is worth the cost of the troops you might lose. If the target is a "whale" with heavy fortifications, the resource cost of replacing your troops may exceed the value of the medals gained.
- The Pivot Strategy: If you find yourself taking heavy losses without a corresponding spike in your medal count, immediately pivot. Switch to "soft" targets (gathering tiles) to stabilize your points while you wait for your training queues to finish.
- Clan Support: Coordinate with your clan members. If you are hitting a high-value target, have clan mates provide support or follow-up hits to ensure the objective is cleared and your medals are secured.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Over-committing to One Target: Do not chase a single player across the map. If they shield or move, you have wasted a march. Let them go and find a closer target.
- Neglecting Hero Skills: Ensure your Hero is spec’d for combat and march speed during the event. If your troops are moving slowly, your "attacks per hour" metric drops, making your 72.5 million goal impossible to reach.
- Ignoring Troop Queue Management: Never let your barracks go idle. Even if you are in the middle of a raid, ensure your next batch of troops is already in the queue.
Final Strategic Advice
Reaching 72.5 million medals in Vikings: War of Clans is a marathon, not a sprint. It requires a sustained, multi-hour commitment. By focusing on rapid-fire, low-to-mid-tier engagements on resource tiles, you keep your momentum high and your losses manageable. Treat your barracks as a factory and your troops as the raw material; as long as you keep the factory running, the medals will continue to climb.
