To score points efficiently during the Kill Event in Warhammer: Chaos & Conquest, locate unshielded enemy fortresses, confirm their garrison with a scout march, and strike with rapid speed boosts before the defender can react. You must immediately shield or relocate after impact, because exposed fortresses quickly invite devastating counterattacks from enemy alliances.
Scouting Vulnerable Targets
Point progression in the Kill Event depends on eliminating enemy units. Unshielded Chaos Fortresses holding stationary armies are your primary targets. Blind marches over long distances waste time and alert opponents, so search kingdom sectors methodically for inactive player clusters, isolated outposts, and lapsed Peace Shields.
Always dispatch a scout march before launching an offensive warband:
- Inspect troop tiers: Look for large numbers of mid-tier defenders, such as Tier 2 Chaos Warriors or Marauder horsemen, that yield steady points with minimal offensive losses.
- Check wall defenses and heroes: Confirm whether defensive champions or traps will inflict disproportionate casualties on your march.
- Detect reinforcements: Skip targets receiving incoming allied marches or displaying active defensive support.
- Evaluate loot and army presence: If a scout report reveals an empty keep or negligible garrison, abandon the target to conserve march stamina and slots.
Fast Solo Deployment Sequence
Long march times allow defenders to spot incoming warbands through watchtower warnings, giving them time to activate a Peace Shield, shelter troops, or call alliance reinforcements. Minimize travel time by relocating close to the target area and deploying march speed boosts.
- Teleport near the cluster: Use a Targeted Teleport to jump within short striking distance of multiple unshielded bases instead of marching across the map.
- Re-verify target status: Confirm that the target fortress has not raised a shield and that no enemy reinforcement lines have entered transit.
- Dispatch with speed boosts: Launch your attack army and apply a 25% or 50% march speed boost item immediately to reduce transit time down to seconds.
- Recall and secure: Recall your army the instant combat resolves, check your battle report, and immediately activate a Peace Shield or teleport away before local enemies can retaliate.
Identifying Reinforcement Traps
High-level unshielded fortresses located near active alliance hives often serve as deliberate honeypots. An opponent with deceptively low displayed power may house massive allied armies behind their walls. Colliding with a fully reinforced garrison will wipe out your offensive march, creating a severe point deficit on the event leaderboard.
| Indicator | High-Value Solo Target | Probable Reinforcement Trap |
|---|---|---|
| Map Location | Isolated territory or inactive player hives | Center of an active enemy alliance cluster |
| Activity Level | Static resources with no recent shield drops | Shifting resources and nearby troop movement |
| Power Profile | Power aligns with Keep level and structures | Unusually low power relative to alliance rank |
| Scout Status | Full report showing stationary solo garrison | Blocked scout, active anti-scout, or inbound lines |
Assume any unshielded keep inside an active alliance hive is baited unless your scout report confirms a vulnerable solo garrison seconds before your attack lands.
Protecting Your Fortress and Managing Hospital Space
Attacking drops your Peace Shield and exposes your base to retaliatory strikes. Rival hunters track combat coordinates across the kingdom to attack unshielded bases while offensive armies are away.
- Reapply Peace Shields: Activate an 8-hour or 24-hour Peace Shield as soon as your attack marches return.
- Shelter vulnerable armies: If you run out of shields, initiate a long-duration ghost rally against a distant camp or inactive base to keep your units off the defensive wall.
- Maintain hospital clearance: Keep at least 20% to 30% of your total hospital capacity open before launching attacks.
- Heal between sorties: Use Iron, Warpstone, and healing speedups to empty your hospital queue after every raid.
- Halt when full: Stop attacking immediately if your hospital fills completely, as all subsequent casualties result in permanent troop death rather than recoverable wounded units.
