Tiers
Six tiers from Page (5% of the chest, free) to Emperor (65%). Scouting a target costs a quarter of its potential loot.
Bigger castles have more puzzle slots and pay a bigger victory bonus.
Your own castle (account required)
Sign up to claim a castle: choose its look, configure the puzzles in your defense gauntlet, and earn passive gold every hour.
Other commanders, including always-active rival bots, will raid it. A New Player Shield protects you until level 4.
Vanguards (clans)
Found or join a Vanguard, pool gold into a shared fortress, and wage wars on rival Vanguards’ towers.
Strategy tips
- Low tiers are safe practice. Move up once you win consistently.
- Boosts like the War Horn (+30s) and Oracle Lens (reveal a letter) can save a tough siege.
