Attacking

## How Attacking Works

Your character always on the move and you only have one control which is tapping the screen. Tap the screen to jump and tap the screen when sliding on the wall to wall jump. *[Despite the simple controls people make the most complex dungeons to beat]*

You start by opening the opponent's door by breaking the door's key holes. Some keys holes are fake ones and only one can open the door.

You get keys by a rate and have a maximum amount you can hold but both of these can be upgraded in the Tower Upgrades

Keys can be obtained through Events, Bazaar, Starmaster and they regenerate overtime which the rate can be made quicker with a Tower Upgrade

* When you run out of Keys you can spend 9 orbs to gain your maximum key amount or gain a small amount of keys for watching an AD

These are the costs for picking a certain colored Door Locks

* Wood Keyhole = -1 Key
* Purple Keyhole = -3 Keys
* Golden Keyhole = -6 Keys

The attacks starts with your character moving to the right side of the screen, to change directions you must jump off of a wall.

You die if you hit a trap or if you use the restart button.

You can use Potions to help you complete dungeons with more ease

Once you’ve completed a dungeon you gain experience based on how many stars you completed the dungeon with, and on how many experience crumbs you have encountered during your path to the totem.

Once finished the raid you'll see the opponent totem and *if he is doing a ritual* you'll see a spinner with 2 parts. A Green one and a Red/Purple one

* Red: You gain nothing if the spinner lands on it [Happens when you are not Preforming a Gem Ritual]
* Purple: Your Gem in the Ritual will get a slight rating increase based on the gem you were going to steal [Replaces Red when Preforming a Gem Ritual]

*It's advisable to ALWAYS perform a ritual while raiding to have the purple side for rating bonuses unless you believe your gems will be stolen easily when you're offline*

The Spinner. Based on how many stars you managed to finish your raids the success rate will be big following this rule:

* 1 star = 5% green
* 2 stars = 25% green
* 3 stars = 50% green

*Note: The Spinner is affected by the defender's Gem Defense Upgrade and Your Gem Steal Chance Bonus* *[Main Source of the Perk is Guild Level and your Throne]*

### **Respins**

If the spinner doesn't land on the green side you can spend some orbs to retry again. Each retry costs the double of the previous respin starting with 5 orbs.

So you can respin for these Orb amounts:

**5-10-20-40-80-160-320-640-1080-2160-4320**

*Then 4320 will be proposed each time.*

Each Respin if you are performing a ritual and therefore have also the purple part on the spinner, will produce some bonus to be used on your own ritual.

The bonus is based on the number of Respins.

No Respin = 5% the rating of the gem you're stealing is added to your ritual

* 1 Respin = 10%
* 2 Respins = 20%
* 3 Respins = 40%
* 4 Respins = 55%
* 5 Respins = 65%
* 6 Respins = 72%
* 7 Respins = 75%
* 8 Respins = 78%
* 9 Respins = 81%

Now let's turn back to the stars part after completing a raid.

Each star gives you 4 experience points while each experience crumbs (a little green star) gives you 1 experience point. So the total of experience points you can get by finishing the layout with 3 stars and gathering all the experience crumbs is equal to 15.

Everytime you reach a certain point of experience you level up. Each level up gives you 5 orbs and some keys. The number of keys given differs by the level of its upgrade in the Castle

## **Pools**

The game itself is divided into 2 pools internally, the *small pool* and the *big poo*l.

###### ***Small Pool***

From level 1 - 50 players can only find, in skipping, opponents which are at the same level as their actual level +/- 5 levels if the pool is dry.

If you are at these levels make sure to focus on upgrading your traps as much as possible

##### ***Big Pool***

From level 51 to *infinite* you can find any other player no matter what level he is and at the same time every player can find you. Since everyone can find you, even very skilled players with everything maxed, **is imperative** that you are prepared for such a tsunami.

*Many players restart the game from scratch when they reach level 51 because they are not prepared for such a difficulty or even delete the game once and for good.*

### ***Surviving the big pool***

As I mentioned, you’ll find everyone in the big pool once you reach level 51. People with maxed thrones, skilled, Kings of the past and present, berserkers, insane bases etc.

But don’t be scared, this guide is here for you.

If you are reading this before you reach level 51 you are in the right time to fix things up. If you read this after reaching the big pool it still can be fixed but it’s a bit boring.

#### *Before reaching level 51*

The most important trick of this game is to have maxed traps. There are 12 traps as per now and you have to do what's in your power to upgrade them at least to level 36 before hitting level 51.

This implies selling gems for coins, raid only for coins and try to find those who have a lot (using coins x2 if available), even revenge on other people is permitted as long as they have a lot of coins to steal. **The less you raid, the less you level up.** **And you don't want to level up before upgrading your traps.**

Don't be a fool, you’ll have plenty of time to raise your gemscore once in the big pool. So yes, sell your gems for coins if you are in short.

*Level up the spell Trap Engineer as soon as you can as it is a big help, it shorts the time a trap can be leveled up.*

Trap upgrading is your only way to survive the big pool so do it once you have time. You can do rituals with a trap upgrading, and maybe even big rituals so you get a lot of emeralds from it as retrieving can be pretty easy in the small pool.

#### *After reaching level 51*

If you're over level 51 and have poor traps

The main mission is always trap upgrading but *you can't do big rituals unless you have a really good guild with good retrievers* as your ritual will be stopped each hour due to constant attacks.

It is not all doom and gloom though as though the dungeons may be significantly harder the gems are usually very big as well
