The Smart Way to Upgrade Hero Gear in Kingshot

by

If you’re playing Kingshot and wondering how to upgrade your hero gear the smart way, this guide is for you.

Step 1: Pick Your Main 3 Heroes

Before doing anything, figure out your main march — basically, the top 3 heroes you use the most in fights. In most big events like Castle Battle, Alliance Championship, Sanctuaries, and All Out, only your main march matters. Once you’ve picked your main heroes, reset the gear from all your other heroes.

A lot of players don’t realize that Hero Gear doesn’t count when you join a rally — it only matters when you start a rally. So even if your heroes have gear, it won’t do anything unless you’re the rally leader.

That’s why it’s better to either strip gear from your other heroes and merge it into your main march gear, or just leave it on them and not bother upgrading it.

If you’ve already upgraded the gears on heroes outside your main march, you can reforge those gears to get Enhancement XP and Forgehammers.

You’ll want 3 specific sets of hero gear:

  • 1 Infantry set
  • 1 Archer set
  • 1 Cavalry set

That’s it. Just focus on these three sets.

Step 2: Upgrade Priority Order

Now, when you start getting your Enhancement XP and Forgehammers, here’s exactly how to upgrade your gear. Think of this as your shopping list, in order:

Top Priority (Do These First):

  1. Infantry Health – Focus on the belt and glove
  2. Archer Lethality – Focus on the helmet and boots
  3. Cavalry Lethality – Focus on the helmet and boots

These three are your core. Upgrade them to level 80-100 in XP and level 7-10 in Forgehammers.

After That (Do These Next):

  1. Infantry Lethality – Helmet and boots
  2. Archer Health – Belt and glove
  3. Cavalry Health – Belt and glove

These are still useful, but not as urgent. Just bring them up to level 40-60 in XP and level 4-5 in Forgehammers.

The Summary

  • Don’t waste your upgrades on heroes you barely use.
  • Always double-check which hero gear affects which stat before upgrading, and use the above priority list to decide your upgrades.
  • Focus upgrades based on the role of each hero type. Infantry tanks? Boost their health. Cavalry and Archers deal damage? Boost their lethality.

Stick to this plan and your main march is going to be way stronger than before. Let others guess what they’re doing—you’ll already know.
