Kingshot Defence Guide: Shields, Infirmary and Avoiding Big Losses

Sooner or later, another governor will look at your town as a target. Good defence habits keep your troops and resources safe – and they cost far less than rebuilding after a big loss.

Shields

Shields protect your town from attacks while active:

• Use a shield when you’ll be offline during dangerous periods.
• Keep spare shields for busy kingdom events.
• Remember that attacking someone may remove your shield – check before you act.

Infirmary capacity

Wounded troops go to the infirmary, but only up to its capacity. Troops beyond that may be lost. To protect your army:

1. Upgrade the infirmary alongside your other buildings.
2. Heal quickly after fights.
3. Avoid fights that would overflow your infirmary.

Stay close to your alliance

Being near alliance members and territory makes you a harder target and gives you quick support. See our alliance guide.

Don’t store too many resources

Resources sitting in your town can be stolen. Spend them on upgrades, or keep them as unopened resource items until needed.

Choosing fights

Situation	Action
Enemy is clearly stronger	Avoid the fight, shield if needed
Alliance is rallying	Join if leaders ask
You’re offline soon	Shield up
Infirmary nearly full	Heal before fighting again

Common mistakes

• Going offline without a shield during kingdom events.
• Ignoring infirmary upgrades.
• Attacking without checking the target’s strength.
• Hoarding resources.

Strong defence habits keep your progress safe. Combine them with steady growth from our Town Center rush guide and your town will be hard to crack.
