This page does not explain the event. It is a short list of the things that decide your Defense Points, so you finish ahead of everyone who has not read it. For the wave structure, the reward tables and the ranking tiers, read the official guide about Viking Vengeance first.
The short version: twenty waves of Vikings hit the alliance across two invasions every fortnight, over roughly 40 minutes. You score for waves your town survives and for Vikings killed in your city — no matter who killed them.
Getting In
Do
- Ask an R4+ officer to start it — only they can, and they set the time
- Join from Town Center 7 upwards — that is the whole requirement
Don't
- Don't switch alliances mid-event — it clears your points and forfeits rewards
Wave Timing
Do
- Cover the HQ at stages 10 and 20 — those two target it directly
- Stay online: stages 7 and 14 only attack members who are online
- Put your strongest hero in the Guard Station for the HQ waves
Don't
- Don't log off early — alliance lists also flag stage 4 or 17, so cover the lot
Your Own Town
Do
- Empty your town and let reinforcers hold it — you score the kills either way
- Kill at least 50% of an attacking wave to count it as defended
Don't
- Don't heal mid-event — your troops march home and your defenders lose the credit
- Don't give up after two defeats — Vikings stop coming, but reinforcing still scores
Reinforcing
Do
- Split your troops across every march you have — three marches, three different partners
- Send infantry first — they hold the line and carry the point credit
- Pair with someone of similar power and exchange reinforcements both ways
Don't
- Don't expect full credit away from home — kills defending others score 50%
- Don't worry about taking points from the player you defend — you take none
What It Pays
Do
- Treat this as the gear event — Satin and Gilded Threads are the prize
- Push personal rank: #1 pays up to 150 Gilded Threads
Don't
- Don't skip it as "just a defence event" — the gear buffs every march you send
What is checked and what is not. Stages 10 and 20 hitting the HQ, stages 7 and 14 being online-only, and healing costing your defenders their score are all confirmed. Alliance chat also lists stage 4 as online-only where the sources say stage 17 — treat 4, 7, 14 and 17 as live until you have watched a run. The ~40 minute duration, the Chief Gear unlock at level 22, and naming Reaper, Lego or SF as HQ captain are alliance guidance we could not confirm; the sources say only "your strongest hero".
