8 Tips to become a better Vikings:War of Clans player

We all enjoy a good strategy game. And we all want to do well in such games to show off our strategic skills.



Fortunately , Plarium's Vikings : War of Clans brings the opportunity to face off other players that are trying to be the best Jarl and will do everything in their powers and within the game setting to beat you at that.

Here are 8 tips on how to become a better Vikings:War Of Clans player:


1. Set yourself up to win from the start.

Everyone who starts playing this game is all over the place at the start. They just build things randomly in their towns and get as many knowledge points as possible , some even spend money on troops just to see that influence grow.

Unfortunately for such players, the initial influence growth is just a bubble and it will soon burst making some of them to even quit the game blaming the fact that it is pay-to-win but disregarding their poor approach on the whole game.

Even if you have played the game for a while or you are just starting out it is always a very good idea to know exactly what you want from your town.

Check out our Town Setup Guide to get a grasp on how you can make your town work exactly how you want it to.

2. Find a clan.

Vikings:War of Clans is heavily focused on cooperation between clan members and ultimately between whole clans when it comes to Global Competitions.

The name itself is highly suggestive in this direction, letting the player know from the start that this will be a battle against other groups of people.

A clan brings numerous benefits and it even unlocks certain game features that are not available to players that do not have a clan.

3. Get multiple equipment sets for your Hero.

A lot of the game's mechanics can be hastened if you have the right hero equipment for it.

You can build faster, learn faster, train faster, yield resources faster, plunder more , send more troops out on onslaughts. Pretty much anything you can think of in this game can be enhanced by hero equipment.

We have already touched on the most basic but so very important building and knowledge equipment sets in the Standard Hero Equipment Guide and there will be more to come in this particular area.

4. Do not waste gold on troops.

There are many ways to missuse your hard earned gold and using it to revive fallen warriors is one of it. 

You could instead use that gold on leveling your shaman or hero or why not , buy boosts from the store or VIP points.

The best way to use gold is to spend it on energy for your hero to gain access to better equipment.

5. Knowledge is permanent.

You troops can die in a tile hit. You can re-design your town and destroy your own buildings but you cannot unlearn knowledge.

It is by far the most important aspect of this game and it unlocks a lot of goodies.

You should therefore give knowledge a lot of importance and focus on always having a knowledge research in progress.

6. Everyone hyperfarms.

Some even do it without knowing by designing their towns in such a way that enables the hypermaxing to take place.

If you are not hyperfarming already you should start right away. The benefits are amazing because you cannot simply rely on yielding alone to acquire resources.

If you want more details on how to hyperfarm  , we have this covered in our Hyperfarming Guide.

7. Choose your troop type early on.

Because of how the game is designed, you want to pick a troop type early and stick with it.

Focus your Army Knowledge on it , your Hero Equipment on it, your Gems and even the Hyperfarm Setup on it. 

Naturally the more knowledge you get in one area , the more prolific you will be with those troops but you can always switch around when you reach the later stages of town development.

8. Shield.

Your shield is your safehaven. It should never go down unless you want it to.

Reason behind this is primarily because of your troops. If they all die you lose on yielding power, defensive power and attack power.

Early on in the game and even in mid-game development stages , it takes a long time to train a decent ammount of troops.

In order to avoid having to use gold on reviving them you want to protect them as much as possible.
