Kingshot offers plenty of things to upgrade, and resources are always limited. This tier list ranks the main upgrade systems by how much they help a growing account.

Tier lists are opinions. Priorities shift during events and wars.

  4. Leave C-tier for when everything else is busy.

Remember events

Many upgrades are worth more during events that reward them. Line up big upgrades with events – see our events guide.
