Tribal Showdown in a nutshell…

Tribal Showdown is a six-day event where your tribe (alliance) competes against another. Each day features different scoring actions. You climb daily point thresholds and rankings, then collect weekly tribe rewards based on the overall result.

The real prize is Advanced Knowledge (AK), which fuels the Tribal Showdown research tree that boosts your scoring and unlocks the Superior Chest.

Rewards, thresholds, and how scoring works

Daily milestones step up through 50k > 100k > 500k > 700k > 1M > 2.5M, with an extra Superior Chest tier that only appears once you research it in the TS tech line.

Daily ranks can drop more AK, and the weekly tribe outcome adds a chunk too (commonly around ~800 AK for a weekly win and ~400 AK for a loss).

Milestones shower you with gems, big resource bricks, rune boxes, hero mementos, and Tribal Showdown supply chests… all of which feed back into faster progress next cycle.

Pre-event prep: hoard now, cash out on the right day

Save the items that explode into points when timed correctly:

  • Stamina potions (you’ll spend a lot across the week).

  • Gathering loads—send marches the day before and claim at reset on Day 1.

  • Speedups for both building and research.

  • Rune boxes and raw runesdon’t fuse until Day 3.

  • Hero mementos and XP books—hold for Day 4.

  • Trade Hall orders and watch for Legendary Caravan chances—line them up for Day 2.

Tribal Showdown Strategy (day by day)

Each day in Fate War’s Tribal Showdown has its own scoring system, from gathering and caravans to research, runes, heroes, troop training, and final PvP battles. Knowing exactly when to spend resources is the key to max points and unlocking the Superior Chest.

Day 1: Gathering and Watchtower Tricks

The opener is all about gathering, Watchtower events, stamina, and a bit of hero leveling.

The easiest way to start strong is to have your marches return right at reset. Collect them after the day flips and all that load converts into points instantly.

Watchtower tasks give steady progress too, and dropping a little stamina here pushes you higher. If you’re short, feeding a few hero XP books helps, but save your big stacks for later.

Day 2: Buildings, Caravans, and Trade Runs

Day 2 is when you cash in on building completions, power increases, Legendary Caravans, and Trade Hall orders. Time big construction finishes so they land today (don’t be afraid to burn speedups to line them up).

Legendary Caravans are worth a solid chunk, so grab them whenever they pop. Clearing a pile of Trade Hall orders on this day also makes a big difference.

Day 3: Research and Rune Hoarding Pays Off

This is one of the most decisive days. Points come from research completions, spending Advanced Knowledge, stamina, Watchtower tasks, and especially runes.

If you’ve been hoarding rune boxes and raw runes, open and fuse them here. The higher the fuse, the bigger the score bump.

On top of that, speed through research projects and push your Tribal Showdown tech tree while AK counts double.

Day 4: Heroes’ Trial (Don’t Waste Your Mementos Early)

Hero day rewards every kind of strength boost: mementos, XP books, skill or talent upgrades, even advanced searches.

The trick is not to trickle these resources earlier in the week. Pile them up, then unleash them on Day 4. Each legendary memento packs serious points, and combining them with books and upgrades is how you climb fast.

Day 5: Training and Prep Everywhere

By now the event turns into a mix: troop training, accelerations, building, and research all count.

Think of it as a second chance to burn through leftover speedups while swelling your army size. Keep those troop queues running hot, accelerate them today, and stack some extra power gains while you’re at it.

Day 6: Final Showdown Chaos

The last day flips into PvP mode. You gain points for kills, severe wounds, and healing your troops, with healing sometimes overlooked but just as valuable.

Higher-tier fights give higher scores, so joining rallies and trading well matters. Don’t idle on tiles today or you’ll just feed someone else’s points.

Fight, heal, and stay active with your tribe until the last minute.

How to Unlock the Superior Chest in Fate War

If you’ve been staring at that Superior Chest wondering why it never opens, here’s the catch: it’s locked behind research in the Tribal Showdown tech line. Until you push those nodes, the Superior tier doesn’t even appear in your daily milestone ladder.

That same tech line doesn’t just unlock the chest, it also boosts the points you earn from common actions like Watchtower clears, speedups, and searches. In other words, the more you invest in it, the easier it gets to hit higher milestones every cycle.

The problem is that everything in this tree costs Advanced Knowledge (AK), and AK is not something you can farm on demand. You mainly get it from Tribal Showdown itself:

  • Daily milestone chests drop chunks of AK.

  • Daily rank rewards (if you push hard enough) can give extra AK.

  • Weekly tribe results pay out even more—around 800 for a win, 400 for a loss.

This creates a loop:

Play Tribal Showdown → earn AK → invest in TS tech → earn more points next cycle → unlock Superior Chest.

It feels slow at first, especially if you’re stuck around the 700k milestone, but once you break into the Superior tier the event snowballs.

Suddenly you’re not just chasing AK, you’re getting rune boxes, mementos, and supply chests that push the rest of your account forward.
