Clash of Knights

Clash of Knights is an Alliance Quest that rotates in once every five months. The event begins after Valhalla Forever and rotates through a 4 week cycle until it repeats the event.

Similarly to Challenge Events, Clash of Knights has 10 replayable stages featuring the event heroes as bosses and reward based on ranking; constrastly, there are no elemental shields that reflect all incoming attacks, additional stages are locked until an Alliance collectively reaches the required amount of points to continue and the rewards are given to every member of that alliance at the conclusion of the event.

## Alliance Quest Rules

A new Event Hazard added to Clash of Knights is this:

The Castle is defended with Incendiary Traps. The traps are triggered every 4 turns. Getting hit by the Incendiary Traps cause your Heroes to Burn and lowers their attack.

Every 4 turns, all Heroes receive X Burn damage over 3 turns.

Every 4 turns, all Heroes get -40% attack for 3 Turns.

X = 306 for Rare, 432 for Epic and 612 for Legendary difficulties.

Only those will able to play this quest who are in an alliance before the event starts.

The Epic and Legendary tiers are locked at the start of the event.

Epic tier is unlocked when your alliance reaches 2.5 million points in total.

Legendary tier is unlocked when your alliance reaches 10 million points in total.

Each tier also contains an Alliance Quest Chest, which gifts Alliance Quest Coins for the Alliance Quest Summon.

## Event Heroes

There are 4 Families, the Wolf Family the Raven Family, the Bear Family and the Stag Family.

Using Clash of Knights heroes triggers a bonus when they are used in the Clash of Knights Alliance Quest.

Specifically:

* Wolf family: Bonus for 2/3 Heroes: • 35% / 50% chance to make a cast buff undispellable
* Raven family: Bonus for 2/3 Heroes: • 35% / 50% chance to make a cast ailment uncleansable

Some Notes:

This bonus ONLY applies to Wolf, Raven, Bear and Stag Family Heroes in the Clash of Knights Event.

The goal of an Alliance Quest is to get high Alliance Quest Score. The Alliances with the highest Alliance Quest Scores win exclusive loot at the end of the event.

Alliance Quest Score is the combined score of all players in all stages and Difficulty Tiers. Stages can be replayed for the best possible score.
The score from each stage is defined by the enemies defeated, speed of completion and the amount of Hero health left at the end of a stage. Big combos and great matches are also taken into account. Using Continues has a negative effect on the stage score.

The different Difficulty Tiers have limits on what Heroes, Troops, and Battle Items can be used in the fights. In Alliance Quest, the harder Difficulty Tiers are unlocked with Alliance Quest Score.

The Epic and Legendary tiers are locked at the start of the event.

* Epic Difficulty Tier unlocks with 500,000 Alliance Quest Score.

Crude Iron

Crude iron is one of the most common, one-star ingredients, needed by the forge to create Arrow Attack, Tornado, and Miracle Scroll.

Bonus Drop Chance:

* S1: Province 6, S1: Province 14
* S2: Province 12
* S3: Province 9, S3: Province 22
* Season 4: Provinces 5 and 20

Per *Barry Farmz Here*, S1:6-8 (or the whole province) is the most cost-effective with ~60.4 % chance.
Barracks

The barracks is used to level up troops.

It is an advanced building.  To build it you must have at least a level 10 Stronghold, and any other building at at least level 5.  When selecting the level 5+ building you are then given the opportunity to "convert" it into this advanced building.

   After doing so, you may then convert the building between the original, and the barracks, at will, for no cost, though you do need to have a builder available for the 5 second conversion.  Changing to a different building may be done at no additional cost, though you may only have one barracks at a time.

It is recommended that you use one of your forges for this purpose.

## Troop Upgrades & Building Upgrade Costs

The level of the barracks building dictactes the level to which you are permitted to raise your troops.  Leveling troops is done in the same manner that leveling heroes is done: you sacrifice some troops to level up others.
