Ten Do’s and Don’ts of KAG

I must add my list in because I don't feel it fits anywhere else. It's more a 'Tips and tricks' for kag.

1. Watch out for Exid if he has bombs. He's like freakin' Ultima Weapon.

2. If you're an archer, it's quite easy to avoid knights if you know how. Leap from tree to tree. Even while charging you should be nimble enough to evade the jabs of knights attempting to knock you out of the tree; be wary for smart knights who will wait for you to leap to a tree THEN hit it.

3. If you're being pursued by a knight, try as hard as you can to avoid fallstun from falling 8 tiles. Archer fallstun lasts a little longer and even if the knight also fallstuns, he'll recover before you and chop you to shreds.

4. Playing as a builder is a great asset to your team, so long as you are competent. Build a kneecapper+bunker+fort combo and you should be able to sally forth with great energy while your archers provide cover, entirely safe and able to attack the land approaching your kneecapper+bunker+fort.

5. People underestimate the attack capabilities of the builder, and I'm not referring to the hammer attack. I mean dropping blocks on the opponent's heads, putting a spike at a vital choke point in their forts. Some builders have managed to match knights in kills in this way.

6. Murderholes are a must for any larger tower. They help your archers provide long distance cover.

7. Unprotected catapults are a money farm for any competent archer.

8. Be wary that outposts are still a little buggy and especially if contested can spawn opponents even when you own the outpost.

9. Have a friend to go into battle with. Even if you're on a server where you don't know anyone, the best thing to do is follow and guard another player, regardless of what class they or you are. A knight occupying another knight allows an archer to help. An archer providing cover fire for a builder is great. A knight shielding for an archer makes him immune to all but a two-archer charged shot volley.

10. If you have a knight shielding you while you charge your shot, do be careful as to your positioning. If you are too close to the knight, you might well still take damage from the arrow.

11. Don't be hasty to press a 1v1 knight vs knight win. If you can, draw yourself back. Enemy knights don't tend to know what you're doing and hesitate if you draw back. The more foolish ones will run forward as you charge and get themselves chopped up for their trials.

12. A knight without a bomb is severely limited in his offensive capabilities. Try and have at least one at all times.

13. Conserve at least 12 coins after your purchases are complete, or 8 if you're an archer. This allows you to heal from 0.25 hearts (appears as 0) to full.

14. Once you are of sufficient skill, try and join a clan. Your clanmates will watch your back and fight more ferociously than anyone you'd meet in a pub match.

15. Don't grief. Simple as this.

16. Don't charge in alone. Like I said, try and find a buddy. Attacking even in twos is vastly more powerful (sum of the parts is greater than the whole, and whatnot) than two people attacking alone.
