KingShot Halloween Event Guide: Maximize Your Rewards

The annual KingShot Halloween event is now live! This event features eight exciting modules with bountiful rewards. Today LDshop will break down each one and provide key tips consolidated from experienced players to help you maximize your gains.

Coven Clash

▲Core Mechanic: Consume "Halloween Candies" to attack the Pumpkin King.

• Each attack grants 2 Treasure Points and random rewards (Diamonds, Speedups, Essence Stones, etc.).
• After a full round of attacks, there is a 20% chance to summon the Prankster Witch.

▲Prankster Witch:

• Can be attacked 3-15 times, yielding far better rewards than the Pumpkin King.
• Attacking her has a chance to detonate the "Treasure Point Pool", granting a random grand prize. The higher the pool, the better the chance and rewards.
• Additionally, attacking the Prankster Witch itself has a chance to grant an exclusive "Wicked Witch’s Treasure" grand prize. The more times you attack her, the higher the chance. When the number of attacks reaches 10 or more, the combined chance to trigger the treasure is 0.06%.

▲High-Yield Tips:

• Detonation Timing: It's recommended to focus your attacks after the server-wide Treasure Point Pool reaches 15,000. The probability is best after 18,000 points. Let other players build the pool first.
• Free Attacks: Each attack has a 20% chance to trigger "Prankster Time", granting free attacks that consume no candy. The number of free attacks is randomly distributed as follows: 70% chance for 3 attacks, 7% for 4, 6% for 5, 4% for 6, 4% for 7, 3% for 8, 3% for 9, 2% for 10, and 1% for 11 attacks.
• Auto Attack: The auto-attack feature unlocks after 60 cumulative attacks.

❈Important Note: Any unused Halloween Candies will be automatically converted into resource chests after the event. Use them all before the event ends.

▲Key Reward Systems

Ranking Rewards (Permanent City Skin):

• Treasure Points are used for the server-wide ranking. The top 10 players will receive the permanent "Light & Shadow Symphony" skin.

• Players ranked 11 to 25 will receive a 30-day temporary city skin.

Daily Chest (Crucial Bonus):

• Earning 300 Treasure Points from attacks each day allows you to claim a precious chest containing Mythic items, Hammers, Speedups, and more. This chest refreshes daily and is a must-have reward.

 

Audacious Adventure

▲Core Mechanic: Earn Mischief Points by participating in Coven Clash. Level up to claim path rewards.

▲Paid Option: You can purchase the "Witch Buster" and "Prankster Buster" to unlock additional rewards. For regular players, the rewards are average, so not recommended. Pay-to-Win players can consider them based on need.

 

Prankster King

▲Core Mechanic: An independent ranking event lasting 7 days.

▲Participation Strategy:

• Servers without Whales: You can actively compete for high rankings. Top performers receive 100 General Mythic Hero Fragments and Diamonds.
• Servers with Whales/Heavy Spenders: It's not advisable to invest excessive resources fighting for top spots. Set your goal at reaching 274,000 points to claim the basic Candy and Diamond rewards.
• Synergy Tip: This event can overlap with other ranking events or Alliance Mobilization. Plan your resource usage accordingly.

 

Trick or Treat

▲Core Gameplay: Visit witches' doors for rewards. Higher-level witches give better rewards (identifiable by their door).

▲Daily Visits:

• Visit each witch in your own city once.
• Visit witches in alliance members' cities twice (prioritize Senior Witch Houses).
• Share Rewards: Share the location of high-level witches with friends. You get an extra reward when they knock, up to 50 stored rewards.

• Surprise Candy Rain: Visits have a chance to trigger a mini-game. Move left/right to catch candy and pumpkins (avoid spiders) for a large candy bonus.

 

Top-up Benefits

▲Core Mechanic: Accumulate top-ups during the event to receive an exclusive March Skin.

▲Evaluation: For Pay-to-Win players, this can be viewed as a bonus gift.

 

Surprising Symphony

▲Core Mechanic: Complete daily tasks to flip tiles and form lines for rewards. Ultimately, earn a "Transformation Wand" for free.

▲Paid Shortcut: Purchasing packs worth 2500 (approx. 230 Lira / $5) or more unlocks the entire puzzle immediately.

 

Candy Party

This module details all sources of Halloween Candy, the foundation for participating in the event.

▲Capped Sources (Must max daily):

• Gather Resources: Cap of 3,000 Candy.
• Defeat Beasts: Cap of 4,000 Candy (Note: This was lowered from 7,000). It is crucial to pause challenging "Polar Terrors" for the duration of the event. While Polar Terrors grant points, they do not provide Halloween Candies. These candies allow you to smash pumpkins, which yields significantly better rewards than Polar Terror points. Therefore, focus solely on Beast Hunts and Intel Missions for candy during the event week.

▲Uncapped Sources (Core spending methods):

• Spend Gems: Spending roughly 1000 Gems yields 10 Candy. This is the best time to use gem reserves.
• Use Speedups: Using speedup items grants large amounts of Candy, with no cap. Use all your speedups during this event.

▲Other Sources: Completing daily tasks like training troops, logging in, etc.

 

Masquerade

▲Core Gameplay: Use the "Transformation Wand" to turn your own or other players' cities into pumpkin-themed skin (purely visual).

▲Countermeasure: Use the "Witch's Cloak" to remove the transformation and gain immunity for 8 hours.

▲Item Conversion: After the event, unused Wands and Cloaks convert into 10,000 Secure Research Chests.

 

Spending Guide & Advanced Global Strategies

▲Paid Pack Selection:

• Free Pack: Remember to claim it.
• Basic Packs: Provide Candy, Avatar Frames, etc when you first enter the event. Key Detail: The avatar frame provides a 2% Defense Bonus that stacks/cumulates, effective even when not equipped.
• Purchase Criteria: Only buy if the server store offers "Pure Gold". Avoid if it only offers "Speed Boosts".
• High-Value Packs: Only recommended for players spending over $300 monthly.
• Cumulative Spending: Accumulating around $50 (or €60) in spending yields a top reward, Mount.

▲7-Day Mission & Multi-Event Synergy Ultimate Strategy:

Core Principle: The event lasts multiple days with different daily missions. Never exhaust all resources (e.g., Keys, Stamina) on the first day. Plan resource usage based on upcoming missions and synergize with concurrent events (e.g., Officer Project, Alliance Operations, SvS Prep) to "complete one action, claim multiple rewards".

Ranking Push Resource Plan:

If your goal is to push the rankings for the permanent city skin, here is a resource investment guide depending on your server's competitiveness:

• Baseline Suggestion: Prepare at least 100 days' worth of Speedups and 200k Gems.
• Competitive Servers: You may need 200 days' worth of Speedups and 400k Gems.
• Core Logic: Since acquiring candy by spending Gems and using Speedups has no cap, the more you invest, the more you can attack, and the higher your points. This is the primary way for Free-to-Play or low-spending players to compensate for a lack of monetary spending.
• Advanced Tip: You can utilize "Expert Speedups" and "Research Speedups" here, as they don't yield many points in SvS Prep. Similarly, upgrading buildings using "Fire Crystals" etc., can also grant a significant points boost during this event.

Detailed Daily Mission Plan:

Day	Main Missions	Strategy & Synergy Tips
1	Research, Construction, Hero Ascension	Focus on completion actions, avoid using speedups unnecessarily.
2	Rally vs Beasts, Start Rallies	Focus on hunting beasts for Candy, hitting the daily "Candy Party" cap. This is the key day for beast hunting; pause Polar Terrors.
3	Use Hero Shards, Speedups	Use half of your Keys to meet the target. Save the other half for potential future key missions.
4	Train Troops	Complete normally. This often overlaps with events like "Officer Project", allowing you to earn points for both simultaneously.
5	Use Widgets, Hammers	Spend Gems, Research Speedups, or Essence Stones. This day often overlaps with SvS Prep, making it ideal for ranking and SvS points.
6	Gathering, Increase Troop Power	Easily complete gathering tasks to max out the "Candy Party" gathering candy.
7	Use Governor Gear, Various Speedups	Complete the missions, but conserve necessary resources for the upcoming KVK.

❈Advanced Research Planning: If you have a T1 research queued up that provides around 8 million power upon completion, you can strategically time its finish for a massive points boost. It is suggested to use speedups on Day 3 of the event, calculating so that it completes naturally on Day 6 (next Monday). The resulting 8 million points will tremendously boost your ranking in the "Prankster King" event, almost guaranteeing you the name card reward.

 

Conclusion

Mastering the KingShot Halloween Event requires strategy and smart resource management. By focusing on the daily 300-point chest, maximizing candy income, and strategically planning your seven-day mission schedule, you can secure immense rewards regardless of your spending level. Remember to synergize event tasks and save your Gems and Speedups for this occasion to unleash their full potential. We hope this guide empowers you to claim all the thrilling rewards this spooky season has to offer.
