Spend in Top Lords when one purchase counts twice: inside a top-up event window, on Alliance Duel days where every Gem's worth of packs scores 30 points, in a Kingdom Duel week, and when a new hero reaches your server. Buy each Gem pack size once first for double Gems. Skip chests and instant finishes.

The accounts that pull ahead in Top Lords do not always spend the most. They spend at the right moment. Here is the calendar they follow.
The five moments when a purchase counts twice
| Moment | What you get on top of the pack | What to have ready |
|---|---|---|
| Top-up event window | Event points and item rewards on purchases made inside the window | A planned list of packs, credits loaded before it opens |
| Alliance Duel scoring days | 30 duel points for every Gem's worth of packs, on all six days | Speed-ups, shards and EXP saved for the matching day |
| First purchase of each Gem pack size | Double Gems | One purchase per size, once |
| New hero reaching your server | A finished hero while others are still collecting shards | A balance ready on the day it arrives |
| Week before a Kingdom Duel Saturday | Troops trained and healed before the Capital fight | Healing, training and speed-ups in stock |
The server day timeline
Top Lords unlocks content by server day, so your best spending days depend on how old your kingdom is.
- New kingdom, first weeks. The opening weeks set your place in the throne race and decide which alliance ends up on top. Spending early buys position that is hard to take back later.
- Day 91 (official patch notes). The September 3, 2026 patch notes added Sanada Yukimura and Saladin to the Recruitment Pool, unlocking 91 days after the Kingdom opens. Have Gems or credits ready before it.
- Every week once you qualify. Alliance Duel runs every week for alliances with 20+ members and a top 32 power rank, and players need Castle 11 or higher.
- Kingdom Duel weeks. Kingdom Points are collected Sunday to Friday, and the Capital attack happens on Saturday.
Server day lists change as new heroes are added, so check the Top Lords hero release schedule before you lock in a plan.
A weekly rhythm built on Alliance Duel
Packs score duel points every day, but what you use alongside them depends on the day's theme. Buy the pack on the day its contents also score.
| Day | Theme | Spend on |
|---|---|---|
| Day 1 (Monday) | Intel Training | Beast Cores for the griffin, stamina for Intel Tasks |
| Day 2 (Tuesday) | Castle Expansion | Construction speed-ups, UR decorations, worker recruitment tickets |
| Day 3 (Wednesday) | Tech Research | Research speed-ups, Medals of Honor |
| Day 4 (Thursday) | Hero Development | Hero packs and recruitment: a UR Hero Shard scores 10,000 points |
| Day 5 (Friday) | Soldier Training | Training speed-ups, higher level troops |
| Day 6 (Saturday) | Enemy Elimination | Healing and speed-ups. Winning this day gives 4 Duel Score, twice Days 2 to 5 |
If you only spend big once a week, make it Day 4 or Day 6. Day 4 lines up hero packs with high scoring shard tasks. Day 6 is worth the most to your alliance. Full scoring in the Alliance Duel guide.
What not to spend on
- Instant construction finishes on days they do not score.
- Basic resources you can gather or already have.
- Small shop refreshes and low value bundles.
- Mystery Supply Chests as a plan. Rare drops are a gamble.
- Panic buys during a fight. If you need healing mid battle, the plan failed the week before.
How to split a monthly budget
Our suggestion for a steady spender, not a rule from the game:
- Fixed first: the first purchase of each Gem pack size, plus the Monthly Pass if you lead rallies, since its key benefit is an extra (4th) squad.
- Most of the budget: packs on Alliance Duel days, timed to top-up windows when they overlap.
- A reserve: for a new hero on your server and the week before a Kingdom Duel Saturday.
Price note for November 9, 2026: the game team announced that App Store and Google Play prices change in some regions only, such as Brazil, Mexico, Chile, India and a few others. US, EU and UK prices are not on the list, and pack contents stay the same. If you play in one of those regions, compare prices again after November 9. Our 10 to 13% compares against the standard 99.99 USD / 99.99 EUR price. Details in our web store guide.
