STATE POWER

Talent Reference

This table is a quick reference for identifying strong talent growth targets and maximum knight power scaling.

State Power & Knight Development – Complete Guide

This document explains how State Power is generated, how knights should be developed, and how to use talents, edicts, silver and events efficiently—especially for cross-server State Power Growth events.

It focuses on long-term efficiency and avoids repeating the same advice in multiple sections.

1) Core Concept: What Really Creates State Power

State Power is mainly generated by:

• Knight attributes (Strength, Intellect, Leadership, Charisma)
• Talents (especially high-star talents)
• Edicts applied to talents
• New knights unlocked during events
• Strategic event participation (especially cross-server events)

Among these, Strength talents and edict usage have the strongest long-term impact.

2) Talent System – The Most Important Mechanic

Talent stars are not the same as knight rarity. What matters is the star level of the individual talent.

Golden Rule:
• Edicts are ONLY for 5★ and 6★ talents
• Talent EXP is for 1–4★ talents

3) Safe-Fail Mechanic (Why High-Star Talents Are Better)

The talent system includes a hidden guaranteed success mechanic: after enough failures in a row, the next attempt is guaranteed.

Guaranteed Success Thresholds

Because of this mechanic, 5★ and 6★ talents are mathematically better over time. Even if they “look risky”, they yield more growth per edict at scale.

Critical rule: Never use edicts unless you have at least 9 for the same attribute available. The guarantee can be wasted if you stop too early or exit the talent screen.

Correct usage pattern

1. Save ≥9 edicts.
2. Apply them consecutively for the same attribute.
3. Stop immediately after the first success.
4. Save again before continuing later.

4) Knight Specialization Strategy

Do not spread upgrades across many knights. Use a small set of specialized main knights.

Minimum setup (recommended)

• 1 Strength main knight
• 1 Intellect main knight
• 1 Leadership main knight
• 1 Charisma main knight

Advanced players may add a 5th knight for special books or overflow resources, but early on you should avoid it.

Specialization matters because repeated edict investment in the same knight’s high-star talent can scale: early ~43k Strength per edict on a 6★ talent, later 70k → 120k+ and beyond.

5) Recommended Knights (Efficient Long-Term Choices)

Strength

• King Arthur
• Guinevere
• Prioritize knights with high-star Strength talents

Intellect

• Dante Alighieri (best free option)
• Roger Bacon can be strong but is often inefficient long-term due to weaker lover synergy

Leadership

• Leonardo da Vinci

Charisma

• Edward
• Free alternative: Bertrand du Guesclin (or any knight with 5★ Charisma talent)
• Later: switch to Siegfried when unlocked

Always check whether a knight has a lover link—lover synergy matters for long-term growth.

6) Lover Synergy

Lovers accelerate growth. A strong approach is to select one “main lover” and invest all promotional items into them, ideally a lover linked to one of your main knights.

• Pick one main lover
• Use all promotional items on them
• Prefer a lover linked to a main knight to amplify knight growth

7) Silver, Books & Resource Management

Silver

• Do not spend silver outside events if you want maximum efficiency
• Save for State Power Growth + silver spending events for doubled rewards
• Higher Intellect reduces silver costs for exploration/expeditions and improves farming efficiency

Books

• Books provide flat gains (no scaling) and are best invested into main knights
• If a main knight reaches ~1–2M in an attribute, books can shift to a secondary knight of that type
• Special “?-Books” should only be used on: Michelangelo, Earl of Warwick

8) Events – When to Spend and When to Save

Normal days

• Save silver
• Save books
• Do not unlock knights
• Do not heavily upgrade talents

Server State Power Growth Event

• If not competing for a title: spend silver only
• Aim for Top 150 to qualify for cross-server event (better rewards)

Cross-Server State Power Growth Event

This is where you spend everything efficiently: silver, books, shields, new knights and edicts. Unlocking new knights during the event can grant hundreds of thousands of growth points per knight.

9) Edict Usage During Cross Events (Advanced)

A practical high-efficiency method:

1. Enter the knight talent screen
2. Use 2–3 edicts
3. If all fail: exit the knight panel
4. Re-enter and repeat

This helps avoid long unlucky streaks and is commonly used by experienced players.

10) Endless War & Heirs

Endless War

• Do at least one round manually per day to choose the best rewards
• Edicts are the highest-value reward
• Avoid overspending troops—troops are also a key long-term resource

Heirs & Marriages

• Do not marry heirs outside events if avoidable
• During State Power Growth: each wedding grants ~40 gold
• If you must marry outside events, use weaker heirs (below ~7k power)

11) Lairs, Dragons & Alliance Activities

• Blue Lairs: increase knight talent
• Purple Lairs: increase prestige
• Green Lairs: earn alliance wealth (needed for dragons and rewards)
• Build only marked roads to connect villages faster and maximize wealth/prestige

12) Daily & Weekly Optimization

• Share one knight + one lover weekly for extra gold
• Watch ads for gold
• Pirate last hit earns ~100 gold
• Participate in hunting events for rewards and occasional gold
• Visit castles daily to earn gold
• Attend banquets: points → banquet store → state power items
• Join negotiations: upgrade decree scrolls with negotiation points
• University: arena skill points help strengthen knights
• Quick patrol saves time; not using quick greeting allows more lover dates for more points

13) Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using edicts on talents below 5★
• Upgrading 2–3★ knights heavily (level ~59 is enough early)
• Spending silver outside events
• Spreading edicts across many knights instead of specializing
• Ignoring lover connections

14) Summary

• Strength is king (for power growth)
• Edicts go to 5★ & 6★ talents only
• Use edicts in batches (≥9), stop after success
• One main knight per attribute
• Save resources for (cross) growth events
• Lovers multiply growth
