Viking Rise

Season 3 · Asgard’s Trial

Preparation Day 1: The Watchers

The first stage is a hunt. Sacred Realm Watchers stand guard across the map and each one you bring down pays ten thousand Preparation Battle Points. It is the cleanest scoring in the whole preparation, and it rewards a kingdom that organizes rather than one that spends.

Do this
  1. Kill Sacred Realm Watchers, and kill nothing else. Each one is worth 10,000 points. Nothing else in this stage comes close.
  2. Bring a real army to each one. The guardian holds around 1,375,000 Tier 5 troops. This is not a solo farm target for most chiefs — rally it or go in with a full march.
  3. Spread the tribe across separate Watchers. Queueing six marches on one target wins one kill. Six tribes on six targets wins six.
  4. Finish the stage inside its 48 hours. The stage goal is 1,500,000 points, and at 10,000 a kill that is a number you can plan against directly.
  5. Heal between pulls. Every troop you lose here is a troop not training for Day 3, and the Infirmary is the only thing standing between wounded and dead.

At ten thousand a kill, the stage goal is one hundred and fifty Watchers across the accounts that count toward it. Say that number out loud to your tribe at the start of the stage. It is far more useful than telling people to "do the event."

Why this stage suits a well-run kingdom

Every other preparation stage converts something you already own — troops, mounts, materials, shards — into points. This one converts organization. A kingdom that assigns targets, spreads its tribes and keeps marches moving clears far more Watchers than a richer kingdom that does not. If your kingdom is going to beat a stronger one anywhere in preparation, it is here.

Don't
  • Don't throw a single march at a 1,375,000 garrison. You will feed it and score nothing.
  • Don't stack the whole tribe on one Watcher. The stage counts kills, not participation.
  • Don't carry wounded into Day 3. The next stage is troop training and a full Infirmary slows it down.
