It's the longest tab in **Settings**, organized as a stack of collapsible sections in the order covered below. > Every screenshot below shows one account's current configuration, not the defaults. Each option's actual default is listed in its table. ## Alliance ![The Alliance section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--alliance-1.png) The first block on the tab — everyday alliance courtesy tasks: helping members, donating to alliance science, and sending troops to help build alliance structures. | Option | What it does | Default | | ------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Auto Help** | Answers other members' help requests (construction, research, healing, etc.) with a single tap, the way you would from the alliance help bell. | On | | **Collect Alliance Chest** | Claims the alliance chest reward once it's ready. | On | | **Auto Donate** | Donates to alliance science/technology when a donation slot is available. | On | | **Use bag resources** | Lets Auto Donate open backpack resource bags to cover a shortfall before donating. While off, a donation is skipped whenever you don't already have the resources on hand. | **Off** | | **Auto Send Troops to Build Alliance Buildings** | Sends troops to help construct the alliance hall/flag when construction is available. Troops return automatically once the construction finishes. | On | ## Alliance Development ![The Alliance Development section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--alliance-development-2.png) Claims the alliance's periodic contribution-tier rewards — nothing here spends resources or commits troops. | Option | What it does | Default | | ----------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Claim Alliance Dev Daily** | Auto-claims the daily Alliance Development contribution reward. | On | | **Claim Alliance Dev Weekly** | Auto-claims the weekly Alliance Development contribution reward. | On | ## Alliance Championship ![The Alliance Championship section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--alliance-championship-2.png) Enrolls a formation in the Alliance Championship (Alliance Showdown) event. | Option | What it does | Default | | --------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------ | | **Auto-enroll in Alliance Championship** | Master switch. While the enrollment window is open, the bot keeps re-submitting your formation whenever a stronger one becomes available (heroes upgraded, more troops) or you change the lane below — that re-submit behavior is not itself a toggle, it always happens while enrollment is on. | **Off** | | **Lane** | Which of the three enrollment lanes to register on (left / center / right). | Left | | **Troop split (Infantry / Cavalry / Ranged)** | Not absolute troop counts — a percentage split of your **idle** troop pool between the three types, and should add up to 100\. The formation itself is led by your top 3 heroes by power, one per soldier type. | 33 / 33 / 34 | ## Alliance Trap ![The Alliance Trap section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--alliance-trap-2.png) Handles the Alliance Trap event's personal rewards — separate from the Bear Trap rally automation further down this page. | Option | What it does | Default | | ---------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------- | | **Alliance Trap Rewards** | Master switch for this section. Nothing below runs while it is off. | **Off** | | **Claim Trap Score Rewards** | Auto-claims your personal score-tier rewards from the Alliance Trap event. | On | | **Auto-Reserve Trap** | Auto-enables the in-game "reserve" toggle on the Alliance Trap on your behalf. | **Off** | ## Mine War ![The Mine War section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--mine-war-2.png) Mine War commits marches into a live PvP battlefield (Eternity's Reach). Treat **Auto Battle** as the risky option here — it lets the bot dispatch your marches and use skills on its own during the fight. | Option | What it does | Default | | ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Enable Mine War Module** | Master switch for the whole section. | **Off** | | **Auto Apply / Sign Up** | Automatically signs up for the Mine War when registration opens. | On | | **Auto Claim Gather Rewards** | Automatically claims the rewards from gathering on Mine War territory. | On | | **Auto Battle** | Lets the in-battle AI auto-dispatch your marches and cast skills during the war, without you directing each move. Off by default — this is the option that actually risks troops in combat, so it needs an explicit opt-in. | **Off** | ## Viking Vengeance ![The Viking Vengeance section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--viking-vengeance-2.png) Automates defending against the Viking Vengeance (Black Knight monster siege) event by recalling home and reinforcing with heroes and troops. | Option | What it does | Default | | ------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ----------------- | | **Enable Viking defense (auto-reinforce)** | Master switch for the whole section. | **Off** | | **Heroes kept in city** | How many of your top heroes stay home to defend, instead of being sent out on other marches, while this feature is on. | 3 | | **Recall buffer (seconds)** | Safety margin added when timing a just-in-time recall of your own marches, so they land home before the attack rather than cutting it exactly to the second. | 30 | | **Max recall lead (seconds)** | Caps how early a march can be recalled ahead of the incoming attack — the bot will never freeze a march more than this many seconds in advance. | 1800 (30 minutes) | | **Announce reinforcement in alliance chat** | Posts a message in alliance chat when the bot sends a reinforcement march. Opt-in only. | **Off** | The reinforcement march's troop composition is fixed at a 50 / 50 Infantry/Cavalry split with **0% Ranged** — ranged troops are kept entirely at home, since archers are considered the strongest wall defenders for your own city's defense. Reinforcement marches are also led by heroes carrying a mass-buff skill (attack/damage/defense/HP) when available, falling back to raw power otherwise. ## Alliance Shop ![The Alliance Shop section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--alliance-shop-2.png) Auto-buys from the alliance shop's Daily and Weekly rotations using alliance coins. | Option | What it does | Default | | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Enable Alliance Shop Auto-Buy** | Master switch for the whole section. | **Off** | | **Daily Shop (resets daily)** | Enables buying from the daily rotation. | On | | **Min discount** (daily) | Minimum discount percentage required before the bot buys an item. 0 means it will buy at any price. | 0 | | **Max spend** (daily) | Coin cap per run. 0 means unlimited. | 0 | | **Weekly Shop (resets weekly)** | Enables buying from the weekly rotation. | On | | **Min discount** (weekly) | Same as the daily version, applied to the weekly rotation. | 0 | | **Max spend** (weekly) | Same as the daily version, applied to the weekly rotation. | 0 | ### Item filter Below the two shop toggles is a checklist of specific items, grouped as Speedups, VIP/Misc, Teleporters, and Other: - Speedups: **5m Construction**, **1h Construction**, **5m Training**, **1h Training**, **5m Research**, **1h Research**, **5m Healing**, **1h Healing** - VIP / Misc: **10 VIP XP**, **100 VIP XP**, **Gov Rename Card** - Teleporters: **Random**, **Alliance**, **Territory**, **Advanced** - Other: **Expedition**, **2h Shield**, **8h Shield**, **Quinn Shard** **Important:** this list is a whitelist, and it works backwards from what the checkboxes look like. With every box left unchecked (the default), the bot buys **every qualifying item** in the shop — an empty filter means no filter. Checking one or more boxes switches the bot to buying **only** the checked items and ignoring the rest. So an all-unchecked screenshot does not mean "buying nothing"; it means "buying everything that meets the discount/spend limits above." ## Alliance Auto-Join ![The Alliance Auto-Join section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--alliance-auto-join-2.png) Joins alliance activity rallies (help rallies opened by other members for alliance events) — distinct from the Bear Trap-specific joining logic further down. | Option | What it does | Default | | -------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------- | | **Enable Auto-Join Rally** | Master switch for the whole section. | **Off** | | **Join Faster** | Proactively sends your own march to join an open activity rally instead of waiting for the in-game auto-join queue, which can lag or miss rallies entirely. | On | | **Skip rallies I can't reach in time** | Skips a "Join Faster" join when your estimated march time to the rally leader's city is longer than the rally's remaining preparation window — avoids sending troops that would arrive after the rally has already departed. Only applies while Join Faster is on. | On | | **Troops: 1 Soldier / Full Formation** | Chooses whether the bot's auto-join uses a single-soldier slot-filler or a full formation (server picks the soldiers) when it joins. | 1 Soldier | | **Reactivate before expiry (seconds)** | The in-game auto-join toggle runs on an 8-hour window; this re-enables it automatically once only this many seconds remain in that window, so it never lapses. | 600 | ## Mercenary ![The Mercenary section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--mercenary-2.png) Handles the personal/alliance Mercenary event: marking monsters for help and spawning the alliance boss. | Option | What it does | Default | | --------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Enable Mercenary Automation** | Master switch for the whole section. Unlike most other sections on this page, this one is **on** by default. | On | | **Auto Call Help** | Spends a Distress Signal item to mark a monster for alliance help when your own power is too low to solo it. | On | | **Auto Spawn Alliance Boss** | Automatically spawns the alliance boss. | On | | **Auto Use Stamina Packs** | Allows the bot to spend stamina packs from your backpack to cover spawn/solo/rally costs when you're out of stamina. | On | | **Minimum stamina packs to keep** | Floor of stamina packs kept in the backpack — auto-use stops once you're down to this count, so a reserve is never touched. | 0 | ## Bear Trap The **Bear Trap** section automates the alliance Bear Hunt: joining rallies, optionally leading one, and donating Hunting Arrows to strengthen the trap. ![The Bear Trap section of the Alliance settings tab](https://help.kingshot-bot.com/content/images/2026/08/settings-alliance--bear-trap-2.png) ### Turning it on | Option | What it does | Default | | ----------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Enable Bear Trap Auto-Join** | Master switch for the whole section. Nothing below runs while it is off. | **Off** | | **Join Trap 1** / **Join Trap 2** | Which of the two traps the bot is allowed to join. | On | | **Join all open rallies** | Joins every open rally it finds, instead of only the first one. | On | | **Auto-launch own rally (be the rally master)** | Starts your own rally so others can join you, rather than only joining rallies started by alliance mates. | On | ### Timing and volume | Option | What it does | Default | | ---------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Wait after rally created** | Seconds to wait before joining a rally that has just been created. 0 joins as fast as possible, which is what you normally want — rally timers are short and a late join is a missed rally. Raise it only if you deliberately want to leave the early slots to someone else. | 0 | | **Max marches per trap** | Caps how many marches you commit to one trap. 0 means no limit. | 0 | ### Troops sent | Option | What it does | Default | | ----------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Fill march to capacity (top-up)** | Fills each march up to its full capacity. Turn it off to send strictly the ratio you configured below, which can leave a march below capacity. | On | | **Max troops per march** | Hard cap on the total troops in one march — useful when your alliance enforces a per-rally limit. 0 uses the full march capacity. | 0 | The bot distinguishes the troops you send **as a joiner** from the troops you send **as the rally master**, so you can commit lightly to other people's rallies while leading with a real army. Both blocks work the same way: - **Minimal (1 troop — hero carries the damage)** — sends a single soldier, just enough to occupy the slot; your hero does the work. Off by default. - **Infantry / Cavalry / Ranged count** — these are a **split ratio, not absolute amounts**. The total is decided by the march capacity (and by the two options above); the percentages only decide how that total is divided between the three troop types, so they should add up to 100\. Defaults: **33 / 33 / 34**. ### Hunting Arrows Donating Hunting Arrows raises the trap's damage tier for the whole alliance. | Option | What it does | Default | | ----------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------- | | **Auto-donate Hunting Arrows to strengthen the trap** | Enables the donation. | On | | **Arrows per donation** | How many arrows go in per batch. 100 is one full tier jump. | 100 | | **Keep arrows in reserve** | The bot never spends below this stock, so you can keep arrows for later traps. 0 donates freely. | 0 | | **Keep donating when the trap is already maxed** | Normally the bot stops once the trap is at its maximum, since further arrows add nothing. Enable this only if your alliance wants the stock pushed in regardless. | **Off** | ### Recommended starting point Enable the master switch, leave the joining options as they are, and set **Max troops per march** if your alliance enforces a limit. If you only want to contribute a slot without risking troops, tick **Minimal** under *Joining troops* and leave the master rally block at full strength.
