Epic Monster Event
Use this before and during every Epic Monster event. The right prep can halve your revival costs.
See Combat & Battles for the full stacking guide.
Before the Event Starts
- Check which event type it is (Doomsday, Arachne’s Swarm, Armageddon, Hellforge, Shadow Invasion) — each has a different march format
- Check which captains the event accepts and assign the correct one(s)
- Verify your Leadership, Authority, and Dominance limits in the march screen
- Check your Silver balance — do you have enough for multiple attacks?
- Check your revival budget — how many attacks can you afford at current silver?
- Stock up on Silver if needed before the event opens
Building Your Stack
- Choose your top-tier Guardsmen (or appropriate troop type for the event)
- Apply the 2:1 pyramid per troop tier (e.g. 1,000 T7 → 2,000 T6 → 4,000 T5 → 8,000 T4)
- Add sacrifice layers — lower-tier Specialists or Engineers to absorb early hits
- Fill Monster (Dominance) slots with stacked Monsters using the same 2:1 ratio
- Fill Mercenary (Authority) slots — keep their total health below your leadership stacks so they survive longest
- Include Epic Monster Hunter Mercenaries if available (bonus damage vs epic monsters)
- Use Kaiculator or TotalCalculator.org to verify numbers
Captain & Hero Check
- Assign the right captain for this event type (see Captains)
- Equip your combat gear set on the hero
- Check that your hero talent points are in Battle Tactics (not Economy)
During the Event
- Send first attack and check the battle report — are your sacrifice layers dying first?
- Adjust the stack if top-tier troops are dying too early
- Track silver spending per attack — stop before you go broke
- Revive top-tier troops between attacks when cost-effective
- Don’t revive low-tier sacrifice troops mid-event — they’re meant to die
- Keep attacking — more kills = more tournament points, Valor, and XP
After the Event
- Revive remaining troops (Temple level affects revival cost)
- Collect event rewards and milestone chests
- Restock troop training queues — fill back up to your march limit
- Note what worked and what didn’t for next time
