There are four main statistics in Kingshot that affect damage formula: Lethality, Attack, Defense, and Health. But they can be a bit confusing—especially the difference between Lethality and Attack. Here’s an easy way to understand them:
- Lethality hits Health directly.
- Attack hits Defense first.
So basically, Lethality ignores Defense and goes straight for the enemy’s Health. Attack, on the other hand, first works on reducing Defense. Once the enemy’s Defense hits zero, Attack starts affecting their Health. When Health reaches zero, those troops get injured and end up in the Infirmary.
That’s why it’s usually best to focus on Health stats for Infantry (since they absorb damage), and Lethality stats for Cavalry and Archers (since they deal most of the damage).
Your guides are really helpful, man keep it up. If you can, could you also make a guide on how to get heroes like Helga? I couldn’t really find a free way to upgrade her. It seems like the only options are either paying or ranking high in events to get free shards. If you could make a guide that helps people compete and actually get those mythical heroes, it would be amazing!
Both Helga and Amadeus are paid heroes. You can unlock Amadeus through the Hall of Governors by ranking in the top 10, but realistically, that’s pretty much impossible for free-to-play players.
