Kingshot Early Spending Guide: What to Buy First

The early game in Kingshot starts off fast—upgrades fly by, buildings pop up left and right, and progress feels smooth. But it doesn’t take long before timers start stretching, resource costs spike, and event competition heats up.

‍

That’s when a lot of players start wondering: “Should I spend a little to speed things up?”

‍

Honestly, that’s not a bad instinct—as long as you know what to spend on first.

‍

At Packsify, we live and breathe these strategy games—and we’ve seen firsthand how smart early-game spending can set players up for long-term success. You don’t need to go big. But if you’re planning to top up, even a little, it’s worth doing it with a plan.

‍

This guide breaks down the smartest early purchases in Kingshot—what gives you real power gains, what can wait, and how to stretch your spend further without cutting corners.

‍

‍

Let’s get into it…

‍

Top 3 Priorities Before You Start Spending

‍

Before you spend a single gem or dollar, there are a few things every new Kingshot player should lock in. These are the foundation upgrades—the stuff that pays off from Day 1 and keeps paying off well into late game.

‍

If you’re just starting out and thinking about spending, focus on these three things first:

‍

1. Hit VIP Level 4 Before Activating VIP

‍

You’ll see the VIP activation option early on, and it might be tempting to turn it on right away. But trust us—it’s better to wait until you hit VIP Level 4. That’s when you unlock a 10% construction speed bonus, which is huge for base development.

‍

Once you’re at VIP 4, it makes sense to start activating VIP monthly if you’re playing consistently.

‍

2. Unlock Your Second Construction Queue

‍

If you’re going to buy anything early, this should be the Construction Queue Pack. It’s a one-time purchase that gives you a second building slot permanently. That means faster upgrades, better Growth Carnival performance, and less wasted time.

‍

Even low spenders will feel the impact from this one.

‍

3. Don’t Spend Gems Randomly—Wait for Event Milestones

‍

Events in Kingshot aren’t just fluff—they’re where the real value happens. Instead of spending gems as soon as you have them, wait until major events like Hero Roulette or Growth Carnival, and aim for milestone rewards.

‍

Spending 1,500 gems at random gets you very little. Hitting 15 or 35 spins during Hero Roulette? That’s a whole different story…

‍

Smart First Purchases (Spend with Intention)

‍

Once your foundation’s in place, it’s easy to fall into the trap of buying whatever looks shiny in the shop. But in the early game, spending smart beats spending fast—every time.

‍

If you’re planning to make your first few purchases, here’s what’s actually worth it (and why it helps):

‍

One of the best early moves is grabbing the Construction Queue Pack (if you haven’t already). It’s cheap, permanent, and helps you build faster across every single event. If you’re playing daily, it pays for itself in a week.

‍

Another solid pickup is the Speed-Up Weekly Card. It quietly fuels your Growth Carnival progress, lets you push building/troop milestones, and makes you feel less stuck when timers start getting long. Not flashy—but it adds up.

‍

If you're aiming to compete in early events like Hero Roulette or Troop Power Push, start stacking gems early. When the event hits, spend in chunks, not randomly—Hero Roulette in particular rewards you for hitting 15 or 35 spin milestones. The return per gem is way better that way.

‍

If you’re feeling a bit more serious about progression, the Honor Fund is your long game. It’s not instant gratification, but if you're leveling consistently, it gives great value over time. You can unlock it once and let it roll while you play.

‍

As for hero strength, don’t overdo it early. Gear Weekly Packs or Enchantment Packs can be great if you're pushing PvP or just want your squad to hit harder—but they make more sense once you’ve settled into a daily rhythm.

‍

How Top Players Save on Game Packs

‍

If you’re already spending in Kingshot, you’ve probably noticed how fast those gems can disappear. That’s why smart players don’t just ask what to buy—they also ask where to buy it.

‍

That’s where Packsify comes in.

‍

‍

No grey markets. No shady sellers. Just safe, secure top-ups through the official app stores you already use.

‍

It’s the same packs. The same rewards. Just more value for your money.
