What is the World Boss?
The World Boss is a powerful enemy that spawns every week for 48 hours on the World Map. Players can attack it up to five times for free and can purchase additional chances for more attacks. Rewards are distributed based on the boss’s remaining HP and damage rankings for individuals and alliances. By effectively managing your attacks and leveraging key strategies, you can maximize your rewards and help your alliance climb the leaderboards during this high-stakes event.
World Boss Rules and Mechanics
- Duration: Active for 48 hours weekly.
- Spawn Location: Randomly appears on the World Map.
- Attack Limit: 5 free attacks; up to 5 additional attacks can be purchased.
- Rankings: Rewards are based on individual and alliance damage rankings.
- Wounded Troops: Troops appear wounded during battle but are fully healed after the attack ends.
- HP Rewards: Rewards drop at HP milestones (80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, and 0%).
How to Attack the World Boss
Follow these steps to maximize your damage against the World Boss:
- Select High-Level Troops: Use your strongest mounted troops for most World Bosses, or follow specific troop types for certain bosses (e.g., ground for Bird of Hurricane, ranged for Thunder Scorpion).
- Increase March Size: Boost your march size using monarch gear, research, and items. A larger army inflicts more damage.
- Equip the Best General: Use a general with strong mounted troop buffs, such as Roland or Martinus. Optimize their skills and equipment for mounted troops.
- Apply Buffs: Use attack, defense, and HP buffs for mounted troops. Enhance against-monster buffs if applicable (note: against-monster debuffs do not work).
- Enhance Debuffs: Equip generals or gear that reduce the World Boss’s attack and defense stats to prolong battles and maximize damage.
March Composition
Focus on high-level mounted troops, but if you have limited T14 or T13 cavalry, add lower-level troops for extra damage. Experiment with troop ratios to find the optimal setup for your resources.
Rewards and Rankings
Rewards from the World Boss include resources, gems, and speedups. Players and alliances earn rewards based on:
- Individual Damage Rankings
- Alliance Damage Rankings
- HP Milestones (80%, 60%, 40%, 20%, 0%)
The higher your ranking and the more damage you deal, the better your rewards.
Chance Purchases
After using your 5 free attacks, you can purchase up to 5 additional chances. The cost increases with each purchase:
| Chance | Cost (Gems) |
|---|---|
| 1st | 200 |
| 2nd | 400 |
| 3rd | 600 |
| 4th | 800 |
| 5th | 1,000 |
World Boss Tips and Tricks
- Time Your Attacks: Attack early to secure rewards before the boss relocates or is defeated.
- Optimize Subordinate Cities: Ensure your subordinate city mayors have troops and debuff-relevant equipment. Restart the game if debuffs fail to apply.
- Join a Rally: Rallying can increase damage for players with advanced Military Academy research, though solo attacks allow subordinate city buffs.
- Monitor Buffs: Switch to monarch talents that reduce troop mortality to prolong battles and increase damage.
- Coordinate with Your Alliance: Team up to maximize rankings and rewards.
