Quick Summary: All Out is a server-wide PvP event where you earn points by defeating enemy troops. Points scale with troop tier (T1 = 1 point, T10 = 13 points). Focus on hitting gatherers for safe, repeatable points. Use peace shields when not actively attacking. Smart play beats aggressive play.
All Out is Kingshot's main kill event. For two days, the entire server competes to rack up points by attacking other players. The rewards are substantial, but careless aggression will cost you more troops than you earn in prizes.

Critical Detail: Injured troops count the same as killed troops. This makes attacking gatherers far more profitable than attacking cities, since gathering marches can't have hospitals backing them up.
Why Higher Tiers Matter
Defeating 1,000 T10 troops = 13,000 points Defeating 1,000 T1 troops = 1,000 points
The gap is massive. Always prioritize higher-tier targets when you can do so safely.
Best Targets for Points
Not all targets are created equal. Some give you points while others give you losses.
Why Gatherers Are Optimal
Gathering marches are the safest, most repeatable point source in All Out.
Advantages:
- No city defense bonuses
- No garrison hero buffs
- Players often send lower-tier troops to gather
- Injuries count as full points
- Most players won't shield their gatherers during events
- Low retaliation risk (many are offline or won't bother)
How to Farm Gatherers:
- Scout resource tiles near your castle
- Target players with lower power or inactive status
- Send overwhelming force to guarantee injuries
- Return to base and immediately shield
- Repeat once troops heal
Pro Tip: Bookmark resource-rich areas on the map before the event starts. During All Out, you can quickly check these spots for gathering targets without wasting time searching.
Optimal Strategy by Player Type
F2P Strategy: Safe Farming
Goal: Earn milestone rewards without losing troops you can't afford to replace
Approach:
- Shield Management: Keep a peace shield active whenever you're not attacking
- Target Selection: Only hit gatherers from weaker or offline players
- Scout Everything: Never send marches blind
- Hit and Shield: Attack, return home, shield immediately
- Heal Before Repeating: Don't send injured troops into battle
Resource Management:
- Use free peace shields from daily rewards
- Save speedups for healing troops quickly
- Don't chase leaderboard ranks—focus on milestone rewards
F2P Tip: The early milestone tiers are reachable through safe gatherer farming alone, without engaging in higher-risk city attacks. You don't need to take risks to get value from this event.
Shield Management
Peace shields are your most important defensive tool during All Out.
When to Shield
- Always shield when going offline - Even for 30 minutes
- After each attack run - Don't sit exposed while healing troops
- When you hit your point goal - Protect your progress
- During peak server hours - More players online = more danger
When Not to Shield
- During active farming sessions - You can't attack while shielded
- When setting rally traps - Advanced tactic for experienced players
- If you're deliberately baiting attacks - Requires coordination
Don't Make This Mistake: Never log off without a shield during All Out. The points you lose from a single attack can erase hours of farming work.
Alliance Coordination Tactics
Hunting Zones: Designate map sectors for different alliance members to avoid competing for the same targets
Scout Teams: Have scouts identify and mark high-value targets for attackers
Rally Coordination: Focus rally attacks on specific enemies for maximum point generation
Point Trading: In some alliances, members coordinate attacks on alts or sister alliance members (controversial tactic)
Defense Pacts: Agree to rally-defend any member who gets attacked during their farming runs
Communication is Key
Set up dedicated channels for:
- Target callouts (location, troop count, player power)
- Rally forming announcements
- Danger warnings (enemy alliance rallies forming)
- Shield status updates from top farmers

Pitfalls to Watch For
Don't Do This:
- Attacking cities without scouting first (most common mistake)
- Leaving your city unshielded when offline
- Sending injured troops back into battle (they perform poorly)
- Chasing revenge attacks out of emotion (loses more than it gains)
- Burning all your speedups early (save some for final push)
- Targeting players significantly stronger than you
- Forgetting to garrison troops in alliance structures for protection
Pre-Event Preparation Checklist
Before All Out starts:
- Stock up on peace shields (at least 5-10)
- Fill hospitals with wounded troops to free up space
- Identify 10-15 good gathering zones on the map
- Recall all gatherers (or accept they'll be hit)
- Check alliance strategy and designated hunting zones
- Max out healing speedups inventory
- Set up rally defense agreements with alliance members
- Scout potential high-value targets
- Clear schedule for opening and closing hours of event
Tips & Tricks
- Timing Matters: Most players attack during evening hours (their local time). Farm during off-peak hours for safer targets and less competition.
- Fake Marches: Send a small march to a tile, cancel it mid-way. Some players will shield thinking you're targeting them, revealing who's active.
- Bookmark System: Use in-game bookmarks to mark good farming zones before the event starts.
- Revenge is Expensive: Emotional attacks waste resources. Only counter-attack if it's strategically profitable.
- Hospital Math: Keep hospital capacity near max. Deaths are more expensive than injuries.
- Alliance Structures: Garrison troops in alliance buildings when not attacking. They're protected there.
Is This Event Worth It?
For F2P: Worth participating for milestone rewards, but don't overextend. The bottom-tier milestones offer good value for minimal risk.
For Low Spenders: Good event if you play smart. The middle-tier rewards justify moderate shield and speedup investment.
For Whales: Excellent competitive event with strong rewards at the top end. Leaderboard prizes are worth fighting for.
Overall Rating: 7/10 - Solid rewards, but requires careful play to avoid coming out behind. Not as universally valuable as Bear Hunt, but more engaging for competitive players.
All Out rewards smart play over aggressive play. You earn points by injuring or killing enemy troops, with higher-tier troops worth significantly more points. The safest strategy is farming gatherers while using peace shields to protect yourself between attacks.
Key Takeaways:
- Points scale with troop tier (T10 = 13 points, T1 = 1 point)
- Injuries count the same as kills—target gatherers for easy injuries
- Always shield when not actively attacking
- Scout before every attack to avoid costly surprises
- Focus on milestone rewards, not leaderboard ranks (unless you're a whale)
- Gatherer farming is low-risk, repeatable, and profitable
- City attacks almost always favor the defender
Play smart, manage your shields, and you'll walk away with solid rewards without devastating losses.
