🔍 What Is Alliance Showdown?

Alliance Showdown is a 1v1 alliance-versus-alliance competition that lasts 6.5 days. Each day introduces a different set of tasks that players must complete to earn personal and alliance points.

At the end of each day, the alliance with more points wins that match and earns Victory Points. The alliance with the most Victory Points by the end of the event is crowned the winner.

It’s similar in structure to Hall of Chiefs but adds a competitive PvP aspect by directly pairing two alliances per match, often from different servers or states.

✅ Who Can Participate?

Only the top 20 alliances by power on your server can enter Alliance Showdown. Your participation is tied to the alliance you were in when the event started.

  • If you leave your alliance during the event, you will lose the ability to earn alliance points.

  • However, you can still earn personal points and claim daily chests.

  • If you rejoin your original alliance, your alliance contributions will resume normally.

🎁 Rewards Breakdown

Alliance Showdown offers four main types of rewards:

1. Daily Personal Chests

You can unlock up to five chests daily by reaching specific personal point milestones. Rewards include:

  • Speedups

  • Life Essence

  • Resources

  • Hero fragments

  • And more

2. Daily Match Victory Rewards

The winning alliance each day receives double the rewards compared to the losing one, including:

  • Gold keys

  • Speedups

  • Research materials

  • Life Essence

The losing alliance also gets rewards—just in smaller amounts.

3. Star Rewards (End of Event)

If your alliance wins the event, it earns +1 star. If it loses, it loses one. These stars stack over time and determine your reward tier in future events.

4. Ranking Rewards

Based on your performance throughout the event, you’ll receive individual ranking rewards. Top players can earn:

  • Giant Horns (boost troop attack)

  • Exclusive cosmetics

  • Additional speedups and resources

Even the top scorer of the losing alliance can earn great rewards.

🎨 Exclusive Cosmetic Rewards

One of the most valuable rewards is the Tundra Truck City Skin, which boosts troop defense and stacks permanently.

These cosmetics are especially important for rally leads and garrison commanders, as their buffs apply continuously—even if the skin is not actively equipped.

🧩 How the Event Works

Each day, players are tasked with completing specific objectives. These include:

  • Truck escorting and raiding (Tundra Trade Route)

  • Spending fire crystals

  • Using speedups and gems

  • Hero gear and shard upgrades

  • Pet training and advancement

  • Gathering and troop training

Each task contributes to your personal points and also increases alliance points for the match. Winning a match awards Victory Points, which decide the event winner.

⚠️ Key Rules to Remember

🚫 Changing alliances during the event removes your ability to earn alliance points.

✅ You can still earn personal points for daily chests.

🔁 Rejoining your original alliance restores your alliance point contribution.

⏳ The final match lasts 1.5 days and is worth 4 Victory Points—the most critical stage.

🧠 Winning Strategies

1. Know Your Opponent

Check the versus bar at the start of each day. If your enemy is dominating early, save resources for a later day when victory is more likely.

2. Choose the Right Days to Push

Not all days are equal. Victory Points vary:

  • Day 1 = low value (1 point)

  • Days 2–5 = moderate value (2 points each)

  • Day 6 = highest value (4 points)

To win, you need at least 7 points. So focus your efforts on 2–3 key days where your alliance has the best shot.

3. Use Resources Efficiently

Some tasks appear on multiple days (like gems and fire crystals). Don’t overspend on a day your alliance is already winning. Save resources for other stages with higher stakes.

If your alliance controls 85% of the versus bar with 2 hours left, stop spending and preserve your items.

4. Sync with Tundra Trade Route

Alliance Showdown runs parallel to the Tundra Trade Route event. You earn points by escorting and raiding trucks.

Tip: Hide trucks from your own state to avoid raiding allies. Prioritize trucks from other states instead.

You can also assist up to 3 trucks per stage and receive free rewards.

🆓 F2P vs 🐳 Whale Strategy

✅ Free-to-Play Players

  • Focus on completing all daily objectives.

  • Prioritize training troops and gathering on days 1 and 4.

  • Save gems and fire crystals for high-value days.


✅ Whale Players (Spenders)

  • Target top leaderboard positions.

  • Invest heavily in days 5 and 6 for maximum Victory Points.

  • Unlock all tiered rewards and maximize cosmetics collection.

📈 Alliance Planning and Progression

Each victory adds 1 star to your alliance. Over time, higher star ratings mean better rewards, more prestige, and stronger competition.

Even if you don’t win every event, maintaining solid participation will ensure your alliance builds momentum and climbs the reward tiers.

So plan ahead, communicate often, and track your progress as a team.

📣 Final Thoughts

Alliance Showdown is more than just a leaderboard event—it’s a test of coordination, consistency, and resource management.

To succeed, your alliance needs to:

  • Understand the schedule

  • Choose the right battles

  • Spend resources wisely

  • Work together daily

With proper planning, even a mid-power alliance can rise to the top and earn exclusive skins, buffs, and more.
