Burn them all KiNGSLAyER

Hello everyone, I am KiNGSLAyER and a new chronicler. I am a passionate young warrior with an endless hunger for merits, and I will tell you about my battles in the future. When you read what I write, you should also learn something from it.

Today's story is about Cordyceps, a powerful hunter who uses a spear weakness lineup and plays as a “zero castle.” She is known for always being on the lookout for the next fight. In the middle of the night, after a long and unsuccessful search, Cordyceps found what she was looking for. A so-called zero castle is a castle that only has as many troops in it as it can hide. Hiding options include your shelter, for example, and it is important to make sure you don't hide your lord if you still plan to attack. Another option is to open a mentor -apprentice rally. It is important not to use your battle commander when hiding, or a main dragon, and with your main march. When you are done with the battle, you can rally to a rebel camp to secure your main march. This should allow you to hide 4m troops plus or minus, and this is a so-called zero castle because, as the name suggests, a zero castle only has as many troops as he can hide, so that if he is attacked, nothing can be taken from his castle. 

Cordyceps uses a spear (weakness) lineup with Jaime Lannister, Sararer, Patelo, Daenerys Targaryen, and Ayrmidon. The most important point in a spear weakness lineup is that Jaime Lannister or Grey Worm and Drake or Sararer are included because in order to perform weakness attacks, you need a healer, and just so it's mentioned, Daenerys Targaryen is not optimal for a weakness lineup but rather for a female lineup because she doesn't increase your weakness damage, but at the same time, she doesn't really harm your weakness lineup either.

Let's move on to the battle reports from Cordyceps' hunt at 5 a.m. German time. Cordyceps' eyes were already closing, but she hadn't earned enough Merits that day. She wanted more, and shortly before sunrise, Cordyceps found what she was looking for: Kingdom 166, three unbubbled castles belonging to the G2L alliance. Without thinking twice, Cordyceps sent her scout to K 166 to check the troops of the five unbubbled castles, and Cordyceps was more than satisfied with the number of troops she saw, so she decided to fight. She used her quick adjustment to get ready, used her army buff and her total attack buff, made her army presets, took a 60 lord, and jumped over to K 166, ready for the battle. After the first strike on the first cavalry target, it quickly became clear that Cordyceps could not waste any time because it was the home kingdom of G2L and there was no defense tower yet. The first hit immediately showed Cordyceps' dominant strength over Obelixion´s cavs. Obelixion lost over 9 million troops on the first hit, while Cordyceps lost less than 400k troops.

In the second hit, Obelixion lost over 11 million troops, while Cordyceps lost less than 200k troops.

During Cordyceps' final attack on Obelixion, Cordyceps killed the last 3.7 million troops, and of course she then took the lord of the first into here dungeon at Obelixion alone, over 24 million troops died in total and there were over 30 million merits.

Cordyceps' next target is an bowman named Idefixion, who has troops of almost 16 m, but Cordyceps has reduced damage against bows on here weapons, so she also tried to attack Idefixion directly, and behold, Idefixion lost almost 9 m of troops on the first hit.

Already on the second hit, Cordyceps had the second lord in their dungeon and again almost 7 million troops dead from Idefixion in total, that was over 20m merits.

The next target is a spear fighter, just like Cordyceps, but Panoramixion missed Jaime Lannister on his wall defense, and as I explained before, without Jaime Lannister, his lineup won't make any weak attacks, which means that Cordyceps dominates here again, causing Panoramixion to lose almost 7m troops on the first hit.

With my last hit, I got the third and final lord in my dungeon.On this hunt, Cordyceps was able to earn about 60m merits and maintain her prince rank without any real losses, so when the sun rose, Cordyceps bubbled her zero castle and got ready for bed.

Battles like this also show how important preparation and knowledge of the game mechanics in GoTWiC are. A strong lineup with the best commanders means nothing if you don't know how to use buffs properly, and good timing can make a big difference in PvP hunts. At the same time, it's a reminder for every player to always be aware of their surroundings and their bubble. Ultimately, every battle is not only a battle for merit, but also an opportunity to learn and improve as a player.

Thanks for reading.
