How to Prepare for Events in Kingshot (And Spend Gems the Smart Way)

If you’ve been playing Kingshot for a bit, you already know—events run this game.

‍

Whether it’s Hero Roulette, Growth Carnival, or some surprise power event, timing your upgrades and spending around events can make a massive difference.

‍

The players climbing fast? They’re not just stronger—they’re better at syncing their moves with what’s happening in-game.

‍

And if you’re spending? Even a little? Then this matters even more…

‍

In this guide, I’ll walk you through how to prepare ahead for Kingshot events, when it actually makes sense to drop gems or speed-ups, and how to get the most value out of what you’re already doing—especially if you’re topping up.

‍

Let’s talk strategy.

‍

Not All Events Are Worth Your Gems

‍

Kingshot throws a lot of events at you, but let’s be real—not all of them are worth spending on.

‍

Some events just give you small stuff like speed-ups or EXP items. Cool if you're grinding daily anyway, but don’t blow your gems on those. Save them for the big ones that actually move your account forward.

‍

If you’re a spender, you want your gems doing real work. That means targeting the two events that actually matter:

‍

• Hero Roulette
• VIP XP and Activation

‍

These are where the top players focus their gems—because the return on investment is worth it. Both give major boosts to your power, long-term progress, and even hero development.

‍

How to Prep for Hero Roulette and VIP Events

‍

If you’re spending, even casually, prep is everything. You don’t want to drop thousands of gems only to realize you missed the good part of the event.

‍

Here’s how smart players get ready before the real action starts:

‍

Hero Roulette

‍

This one usually drops on Day 2 of the Hall of Governors event, and it’s a goldmine for shards—especially for mythic heroes like Saul (Gen 1) or Zoe (Gen 2).

‍

If you want to get them to 4 stars faster, this is the event that makes it doable.

‍

The trick is to line up your spins with the reward milestones. Don’t just throw 1,500 gems at it randomly. You want to hit those key checkpoints at 5, 15, 35, 70, and 120 spins.

‍

The best return is at 35 spins. But even if you’re low on gems, going for 15 spins gets you better value than spinning at random.

‍

Here’s your prep checklist:

‍

• Save at least 15,000–50,000 gems (depending on how far you want to go)
• Don’t touch the event until you’re ready to hit a milestone
• Time your spins during Hero Roulette, not before or after

‍

VIP XP and Activation

‍

Another great place to spend your gems—but only if you’re doing it smart.

‍

The real value kicks in when you reach VIP 4. That’s when you get a 10% construction speed boost, which is actually huge long-term. Activating VIP costs 10,000 gems per month, so once you hit VIP 4, it’s worth keeping that running.

‍

If you’re aiming to level up your VIP, spend gems on VIP XP until you hit VIP 8. That’s the sweet spot where you unlock faster building, extra march queue, formation slots, and a daily mythic shard.

‍

Beyond VIP 8, the gem cost goes way up and the value drops off hard. From that point on, just grab XP from the Alliance Store.

‍

Your prep checklist:

‍

• Don’t activate VIP until Level 4
• Save 10,000 gems monthly to keep VIP active
• Only spend gems on XP until VIP 8, then stop
• Use the Alliance Store for XP once you're past that

‍

How to Make Every Gem Count

‍

Once you’ve got your gems stacked and your goals lined up, the real game is timing. Spending at the wrong moment, even during a good event, can still leave you with half the rewards and none of the progress.

‍

Here’s how to make sure every gem actually works for you.

‍

Spend Around Milestones, Not Moments

‍

Big events like Hero Roulette and Growth Carnival reward you for hitting spend milestones. Don’t just log in, toss a few spins at the wheel, and call it a day.

‍

Wait until you’ve got enough saved to hit one of those key breakpoints—15 or 35 spins minimum if you want solid value.

‍

The same rule applies to VIP. Don’t activate until you hit VIP 4. Don’t push XP unless you’re targeting VIP 8. Spend intentionally, not impulsively.

‍

Stack Your Events for Maximum Value

‍

When two major events overlap—like Hero Roulette on Day 2 of Hall of Governors—that’s your green light.

‍

Those overlaps are rare, but when they happen, everything you do counts twice: shards from one event, milestone rewards from another.

‍

If you’re topping up or spending gems, plan around those windows. That’s when the whales make their move—and smart mid-spenders benefit just as much.

‍

Every Timer You Skip Can Be a Win

‍

Speed-ups, XP, and troop training don’t seem like premium items—but they are during the right event. If you’re sitting on a pile of speed-ups, wait until they contribute to Growth Carnival progress or a troop power ranking.

‍

Burning them too early = lost value.

‍

When you time it right, those same speed-ups get you:

‍

• Faster power gains
• Ranking rewards
• Bonus drops from overlapping events
