What is the Alliance Duel Event?
The Alliance Duel is a large-scale PvP event that pits alliances against one another in a series of battles over several rounds. Alliances earn points by strategically setting up troop lines, winning battles, and securing victories across multiple matches. The event rewards both individual players and alliances based on participation, performance, and ranking.
Key Highlights:
- Low Commitment: Once troops are signed up, players can enjoy passive rewards without constant activity.
- No Risk: Troops in the duel are not wounded or killed, and the event doesn’t use your world map march slots.
- Massive Rewards: Earn Duel Coins, tier rewards, and exclusive items from the Alliance Duel Shop.
Sign-Up Requirements
To participate in the Alliance Duel, players and alliances must meet the following criteria:
- Alliance Membership: Players must belong to an alliance.
- Keep Level: Players must have reached Keep Level 10 or above.
- Alliance Participants: At least 20 alliance members must sign up to qualify for matchmaking.
- Go to the Alliance Duel event page during the Sign-Up Stage.
- Select a line to join (Left, Middle, or Right).

Stages of the Alliance Duel
The Alliance Duel is divided into five key stages:
- Sign-Up Stage: Players register for the event, assigning troops and selecting a line (Left, Middle, or Right).
- Match Stage: Alliances with sufficient participants are grouped and matched against others of similar tier.
- Preparation Stage: Alliance leaders can adjust troop placements and strategies for the first battle.
- Battle Stage: Troops fight in order of power, with lines competing for victory points.
- Reward Claiming Stage: Rewards are distributed based on individual and alliance performance.
Stage 1: Sign-Up Stage
Players sign up during this stage by assigning their best PvP troops to a line. Use buffs such as March Size Increase, Attack Boosts, and Defense Boosts before signing up, as these are locked in for the battle. Troops used in the duel remain unaffected and available for other activities, making this stage stress-free for preparation.
Stage 2: Match Stage
Once 20 participants are signed up, the alliance enters matchmaking. Alliances of similar tier are grouped into pools of up to six, with battles organized across the group. This ensures fair competition and a balanced playing field.
Stage 3: Preparation Stage
Alliance leaders (R4/R5) can adjust troop lines during this stage, particularly for attacking rounds. Use the visibility of enemy lines to strategize effectively. Note that while you can see total power, detailed troop compositions are hidden until the battle logs are available.
Stage 4: Battle Stage
Battles are conducted across three lines:
- Left Line: Attacks the opponent's Right Line.
- Middle Line: Attacks the opponent's Middle Line.
- Right Line: Attacks the opponent's Left Line.
Stage 5: Reward Claiming Stage
Rewards are distributed based on individual performance, alliance ranking, and event tier. Earn Duel Coins to redeem exclusive items in the Alliance Duel Shop. Seasonal rewards include tier-based items and exclusive chat bubbles for the highest-ranked alliances.

To maximize rewards and ensure victory, follow these tips:
- Buff Before Signing Up: Activate March Size and other buffs to enhance your troops' power.
