Evony Monarch Competition: A Complete Guide

Resource Gathering Monarch Competition World Boss Server War

The Evony Monarch Competition is a weekly event consisting of multiple stages where players compete for rewards by completing various objectives. This guide covers the event’s structure, provides strategies for each stage, and offers tips to help you maximize rewards and climb the rankings.

Overview of the Monarch Competition

Each Monarch Competition runs weekly, alternating between five and six stages depending on whether Server War (SvS) is active. These stages rotate randomly, except for the final stage, which is usually the Kill Enemies event. The event is a key opportunity to earn resources, gems, speedups, and more.

Maximizing Monarch Competition Scores with Gear Optimization

Optimizing your Monarch gear and Civilization equipment for each stage of the Monarch Competition is a crucial strategy for maximizing your scores and rewards. Each event in the competition requires a specific focus, and adjusting your gear to align with the event’s goals can significantly enhance your performance.

For example, during Monster Killing stages, equipping Monarch gear that boosts march speed and troop attack, such as the War Horn, can help you defeat more monsters faster. Similarly, in the City Development stage, using gear that reduces construction and research times, such as the Crystal and Crown, will allow you to complete more upgrades efficiently. In Resource Gathering, Monarch gear that boosts gathering speed, like the Crystal, ensures faster resource collection, while during Troop Training, gear focused on training speed can help you create more troops in less time.

Additionally, selecting the right Civilization equipment can further amplify your buffs. For example, gear sets that improve troop stats or gathering speed can align perfectly with the needs of specific events. Remember to check your gear and equipment before starting each activity to ensure you are maximizing buffs and minimizing resource usage.

These adjustments not only increase your event scores but also reduce the resources and time required to achieve them. By consistently tailoring your gear and equipment to match the stage requirements, you can compete more effectively and secure top rewards in the Monarch Competition.

Stages of the Monarch Competition

The stages of the Monarch Competition can appear in any order, with the exception of the final stage:

  • City Development
  • Monster Killing
  • Troop Training
  • Resource Gathering
  • Power Increase
  • Kill Enemies (final stage)

When Server War is active, the sixth stage overlaps with SvS objectives, creating additional challenges.

Guide to Each Monarch Competition Stage

1. City Development

Earn points by upgrading buildings or completing research.

  • Focus on completing upgrades for low-level buildings and research that require fewer resources and speedups.
  • Stagger upgrades to always have a mix of short and long-timer projects ready for events.
  • Use monarch gear and duty officers (e.g., at Keep or Academy) to boost speed and efficiency.
  • Plan ahead by starting upgrades before the event and completing them during the stage.

2. Monster Killing

Earn points by killing monsters on the World Map.

  • Target common monsters above level 12 for the best points-to-stamina ratio.
  • Prioritize monsters that can be killed without causing troop wounds.
  • Use generals optimized for mounted troops with high buffs (e.g., Roland or Martinus).
  • Enhance your march capacity with buffs and monarch gear for faster kills.

3. Troop Training

Earn points by training troops.

  • Train higher-level troops for maximum points (e.g., T12 and above).
  • Utilize monarch gear and duty officers in training buildings to speed up troop production.
  • Spread training across multiple buildings and stagger start times to maintain continuous output.
  • Gather resources in advance to ensure sufficient supplies for troop production.

4. Resource Gathering

Earn points by gathering resources from tiles on the World Map.

  • Send marches to resource and gem tiles the day before the event starts to secure early points.
  • Use generals with gathering buffs and monarch gear to maximize collection speed.
  • Focus on resource tiles with higher yields to reduce downtime between marches.
  • Protect your troops from tile-hitters by scouting and avoiding contested areas.

5. Power Increase

Earn points by increasing your power through various methods.

  • Heal wounded troops or recall deserters for an instant power boost.
  • Train new troops, upgrade buildings, or complete research to steadily increase power.
  • Level up generals and equip them with higher-quality gear for additional points.
  • Avoid losing power by staying bubbled or reinforced during this stage.

6. Kill Enemies (KE)

Earn points by wounding or killing enemy troops.

  • Target players with weak defenses or lower-level troops for easier points.
  • Use scouting and watchtowers to evaluate enemy strength before attacking.
  • Coordinate with your alliance to attack targets efficiently and avoid retaliation.
  • Stay bubbled when not attacking to protect your city from counterattacks.
  • Ghost troops or rally bosses to prevent troop losses if you cannot bubble.

Tips for Success

  • Plan Ahead: Save resources, speedups, and boosts for each stage to maximize points.
  • Monitor Progress: Regularly check your event meter and adjust your strategy as needed.
  • Coordinate with Alliance: Work together to dominate rankings and secure rewards for your team.
