Call of Dragons Strongest Lord Event Guide for Competitive Spenders

Call of Dragons Strongest Lord (the event that defines your Server position)

The Strongest Lord is the most important recurring event in Call of Dragons. It's where legendary heroes are earned, where server rankings are established, and where months of resource stockpiling either pay off or get wasted. The event runs for six days with each day featuring a different scoring category. Your total score across all six days determines your final ranking and the hero rewards you receive.

The Strongest Lord event is where your sustained investment converts into tangible competitive rewards. The difference between 1st and 10th place is often the difference between a maxed legendary hero and a handful of fragments.

The players who win Strongest Lord consistently aren't the ones who spend the most during the event: they're the ones who stockpile the right resources for months beforehand and deploy them at precisely the right time across each day.

This guide covers the complete Strongest Lord strategy: how the event works, what each day requires, how to stockpile resources efficiently, day-by-day deployment timing, and the alliance coordination that separates consistent winners from players who throw resources at the event and hope for the best.

How the Strongest Lord Event Works

The event consists of six consecutive stages, each lasting 24 hours. Each stage scores a different activity. Your performance is ranked against other players on your server, and the cumulative score across all six days determines your final position and rewards.

The reward structure heavily favors top rankings: the gap between 1st place and 5th place in hero tokens is significant. For competitive spenders, the goal isn't just participation; it's winning or placing in the top tier consistently, event after event.

Key principle: Strongest Lord rewards preparation, not reaction. Every resource you deploy during the event should have been stockpiled for weeks or months beforehand. Spending Gems or buying packs during the event to "catch up" is the least efficient use of your budget.

Call of Dragons Strongest Lord Strategy Guide

Day 1: Power Increase (training day)

Points are awarded for total power gained during the 24-hour window. The primary power source is troop training: specifically T4 and T5 troops, which provide 100 power points per T5 unit trained. This is where stockpiled training speedups produce their highest value.

Preparation: Accumulate training speedups for weeks before the event. Don't use training speedups outside Strongest Lord unless absolutely necessary. Stockpile resources (food, wood, gold, mana) specifically for mass T5 training during this day.

Deployment: Queue maximum T5 training batches and burn through your entire training speedup stockpile within the 24-hour window. Every T5 unit trained during this day counts toward your score. Don't train T1-T3, the power-per-speedup ratio is significantly worse.

Day 2: Research Power

Points awarded for research completed during the window. High-tier research at the College of Order produces the most power per completion.

Preparation: Identify which research nodes you can complete during the event window. Start long research timers days before so they finish during the event day, or stockpile research speedups to push through multiple completions within the window.

Deployment: Burn research speedups to complete as many high-value research nodes as possible. The second research queue from Honorary Membership 8 doubles your throughput for this day, another reason HM 8 is a foundation investment.

Day 3: Building Power

Points for building upgrades completed during the window. Higher-level buildings produce more power per completion.

Preparation: Stockpile construction speedups. Have building upgrades queued and ready to complete during the window. Your Second Build Queue doubles throughput here.

Deployment: Complete as many high-level building upgrades as possible within the 24-hour window. Prioritize buildings that produce the most power per completion.

Day 4: Kill Points (PvP / Darkling Day)

Points awarded for killing enemy troops and defeating Darklings/Dark Creatures. This is the PvP day where combat composition matters.

Preparation: Ensure your hero pairings are optimized, artifacts are equipped, and troops are fully trained. Coordinate with your alliance for organized Darkling farming sessions.

Deployment: Chain-farm Darklings and Dark Creatures during the entire window. If PvP opportunities arise (unshielded enemies), coordinate with alliance members for kills. Use your strongest mage march for AoE Darkling clearing, Liliya's three-target Flames of Vengeance is exceptionally efficient for this.

Day 5: Gathering Points

Points for resources gathered from the map during the window.

Preparation: League of Order faction players have a permanent +10% Gather Speed advantage. Pre-position gathering marches near high-level resource nodes before the day starts.

Deployment: Run maximum gathering marches continuously for 24 hours. Use gathering speedup artifacts if available. Don't leave marches idle, the moment one march returns, send it back out.

Day 6: Comprehensive Score (combined)

The final day combines multiple scoring categories. Deploy any remaining speedups and resources across training, research, and building for a final power push.

Deployment: Use whatever speedups and resources remain from your stockpile. This is the cleanup day where marginal improvements in each category compound into final ranking gains.

Resource Stockpiling Strategy for Competitive Spenders

Winning Strongest Lord requires 4-6 weeks of resource preparation between events. The discipline to stockpile, rather than spend resources as they arrive, is what separates consistent winners from occasional participants.

• Training speedups: Never use outside Strongest Lord unless an unavoidable situation demands it. Every training speedup burned between events is points you won't have on Day 1.
• Research speedups: Same principle. Identify which research nodes you'll complete during the event and reserve speedups accordingly.
• Construction speedups: Reserve for Day 3. Have building upgrades pre-queued and ready to complete.
• Resources (food, wood, gold, mana): Stockpile at storehouse limits. Use excess for troop training only during Strongest Lord. Between events, let resources accumulate.
• Goblin Market and VIP Shop: Buy all speedups from both every rotation. These recurring purchases are your Strongest Lord stockpile pipeline.
