Scoring and Rankings

Two currencies measure you here and they are not the same thing. KvK Points are earned by doing almost anything and are counted at three levels at once. War Merit comes only from killing enemy troops of Tier 4 and above — and a Team that ends on zero gets no settlement rewards at all.

KvK Points, in the game's words

Rules → Regular Content → KvK Points, verbatim:

“In Valhalla, you can earn points through various actions. Points are divided into Personal Points, Battalion Points, and Team Points. Points will affect the distribution of ranking rewards on the corresponding rankings list, and determine the stage rewards you can claim in Achievements.”

⭐ One pool, three ledgers, two payouts. What you do adds to your personal total, your Battalion's and your Team's simultaneously — so there is no version of this where helping your Battalion costs you personally. And the points do two separate jobs: they order the ranking lists, and they unlock staged rewards in Achievements.

⚠️ What no screen says is what any particular action is worth. There is no point table anywhere in the game's rules text, and this guide does not estimate one.

War Merit — the one with a floor

Rules → Special Rules → War Merit, verbatim:

“In Kingdom Mayhem, killing enemy Troops from opposing Teams earns War Merit. Different Troop tiers correspond to different amounts of War Merit. War Merit can be exchanged for uncommon items and War Materials in both the [War Merit Shop] and [Supply Shop]. (Only killing Troops Tier 4 and above will earn War Merit.)”

⛔ The parenthesis is the whole rule. Three consequences, and all three catch people:

1. Farming low-tier troops earns nothing. Not a reduced amount — nothing. A player who spends a week wiping Tier 1 to 3 marches has a kill count and no War Merit.
2. Higher tiers pay more. “Different Troop tiers correspond to different amounts”, so a Tier 5 kill is worth more than a Tier 4 one.
3. ⛔ A Team can fail this collectively. “Teams with 0 War Merits will not be eligible for the season’s Settlement Rewards” — a Team-level exclusion, so a Team that never engages loses the payout for every one of its members.

War Merit is also the shop currency, in both shops. See currencies and shops.

The five ranking lists

The RANKINGS window has a complete, non-scrolling rail of five:

List	What it ranks
Chief Rankings	Individual players, with an Individual Ranking Rewards panel beside it banded Rank 1, Rank 2 to 3, Rank 4 to 5, Rank 6 to 10, with further bands below that scroll out of view
Battalion Ranking	Your Battalion against the others
Kingdom Rankings	Kingdoms, by a Kingdom Points ranking, which pays its own settlement mail
Team Ranking	The two Teams, with each Team's three kingdoms listed under it
⭐ Personal War Merit Ranking	The one to care about most — see below

⚠️ The game writes that rail's plurals inconsistently — Rankings, Ranking, Rankings, Ranking, Ranking. Reproduced as drawn, because that is what you will see.

⭐ Why the personal War Merit ranking is the one to chase

It is the only ranking that appears in both payouts:

• Settlement. The TEAM REWARD window pays by War Merit Ranking in the Team, in brackets 1-50, 51-100, 101-200, 201-300 — and every one of the eight reward columns pays more the higher your bracket.
• Season Summons. “the system will automatically award Chiefs the corresponding amount of Summon attempts based on their Personal War Merit Rankings in their respective Teams” — 250, 150 or 100 summons of each kind by bracket.

⭐⭐ And note that it is ranked inside your Team, not across the map. You are competing with the players of three kingdoms, not six — and your two allied kingdoms are the competition for the top brackets. That is the one place on this map where an ally is a rival.

Achievements

Four tracks, read off the rail:

• Personal Achievements
• Battalion Achievement
• Team Achievement
• ⭐ Occupation Achievement — the one that sets your Season Summon count, in tiers from Viking Warrior I up to Viking War God III, paying 100 to 350 summons. See how the season pays out.

These are the “stage rewards you can claim in Achievements” that the KvK Points rule points at — claimed at thresholds rather than ranked against other players.

Where points come from

Source	What the game says
Dawn Watchers	“with levels ranging from 56 to 65. Defeating them can earn you points and other rewards.”
Lightflame Beasts	“levels ranging from 21 to 25. Only by initiating a Rally attack can they be defeated, and defeating them will yield lots of rewards.”
The battlefield Sanctums	“all members of the same Team within the Mistletoe Sanctum area will continuously earn points” — and the same sentence for the White Night Sanctum
Killing Tier 4+ enemy troops	War Merit, by tier
Manors	Campaign Points, which are not KvK Points — they buy research. See Manors

⚠️ Those are the sources the rules name, not an exhaustive list. “You can earn points through various actions” is deliberately open, and taking objectives plainly pays too — the game just never says how much.

What is not known

• Any point value, for anything. No per-objective table, no per-kill figure, no rate.
• The full ranking bracket lists. Both the settlement table and the individual reward bands scroll past where they were read.
• The Achievements thresholds. The four tracks were seen; their point requirements and reward tiers were not.
• The Occupation Achievement tiers between the top band and the Vanguard band. Never brought on screen.
• What Battalion Points and Team Points are earned for specifically, as distinct from personal points.
