Strategies

• Shuriken Storm: Launch your Big Shots at your enemy's Demon Mortars and then distract and/or destroy the remaining defenses with an Oni and some Samurais or Ice Demons ,meanwhile, start storming remote and unprotected buildings and resources with your entire army of Assassins. This strategy is advantageous against traps and bombs if deployed at a scattered manner. Remember to destroy defenses that deal a lot of splashed or scattered damage such as Demon Mortars and Storm Towers. This kind of attack is not recommended against Kingdoms with a level 5 or 6 and above Palace or level 4 and above Multi-Layer Walls.

• Fast attack: A troop of 200, level 6 Assasins can destroy a level 5 palace building in 2 seconds.
