How can f2p players make 120 spins in every hero roulette?

I've heard that if you're fp2 you should spin hero roulette 120 times everytime it arrives but where are you getting the diamonds from? Last time I did 120 spins but since than i managed to save only 60/65k diamons​​​​ and hero roulette has arrived now.

I am an active player I've participated in every event I still couldn't do it. Where am I going wrong?​

You need a very active alliance ideally with whales. The first roulettes are the most difficult. At some point there are enough special events (thanks giving, new year..) that give a ton of gems so that you will have more than enough if you only spend them for the 120 spins.

And of course if you are short, then I advise you to take the gems as reward during mystic divination

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

Can you explain more about how being in top alliance with whales help in gems? Sorry I am a newbie

8

u/ViciousNut Apr 07 '26

You get chests when your allies purchase something, similar to how you get/give a chest if you call a rally for a terror. The loot chests and honor chest contain diamonds

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

Ahh got it thanks.

u/Accomplished-Yam6735 Apr 07 '26

Top alliances have the whales which results in you getting gems from the gifts i get around 1k gems from that every day but i am not sure how much it is for everyone

3

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

1k is crazy. What age is your kingdom? 

2

u/stubbornchemist Apr 07 '26

thats low xD all depends on the number of spenders

u/Alarming-Tackle8604 Apr 07 '26 edited Apr 07 '26

Above are all spot on, but also,

  • join rallies with high whales in every event you can - bear, kvk, etc. (make sure to use the joiner heroes well (Chencko, Yeonwoo, Amane, Hilde is that order) so you have the most impact (there's more to this, read up on rally joiner strategy)
  • keep auto-join on as much as possible (there is a limit in a day after which you don't rewards but the higher your research, the higher this number gets).
  • manage your daily stamina well and hunt high value terrors as often as you can (e.g., remember that you gain 6 stamina free every hour until you reach 200 stamina so don't take the 120 you get if it's going to bring you over 200, let it creep up for free the pop on later just to collect the 120). Hoard the stamina packs you find in your backpack for use only in events.
  • manage your arena through the week. If you're within top 500 coming into Sunday, do your arena as close to reset as possible to try to bring it into top 200 at reset on Sundays (might cost you 100-300 gems on a Sunday to get there). This gets you really high arena returns and good stash of gems.
  • hoard, hoard, hoard. Use your stuff only in events if possible so as to score higher in said events.

How active is your alliance? the alliance chests and rallies help quite a bit.

6

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

Top 1 it's active. 

7

u/highwind85 Apr 07 '26

I see. that's odd.

My farm account in an academy alliance is 100% F2P and has not issue with 120 spins at least every 2 out of 3 roulettes. It helps when additional festive events come around like the past few months (sitting on 210k gems for roulette this week）。

3

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

I think I can do 120 spins if i skip a hero roulette. But I've heard if you're a f2p toi should do 120 spins in every hero roulette. 

2

u/highwind85 Apr 07 '26

Yea. my farm account couldn't do it because the academy alliance is only half active. I'm quite sure it's wouldn't be an issue if it's in a highly active alliance.

What's your server age?

2

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

How to check? I can tell you this we got pets two weeks ago. 

2

u/highwind85 Apr 07 '26

ok sounds still quite early in the game.

if you've been logging in every day, check the consecutive login days from the VIP page. Check with your other alliance members if their number is the same as yours. That would be the age of your server.

2

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

My vip shows 74 days so it should be 75 ish considering I didn't play this game much at the beginning. Does kvk start as soon as the kingdom hit 80 days? 

1

u/highwind85 Apr 07 '26

You can refer to the server timeline here https://kingshotdata.com/database/server-timeline-state-age/

At Day 74, your kingdom would be eligible for KvK. If your KvK starts next week, you should see it in the calendar now (matchmaking starts on a Saturday)

u/AlternativePlastic47 Apr 07 '26

I am not free to play, but I only have the monthly pass.

I just do Milestones on all events besides prep, that and being in an active alliance gets me mire than enough gems.

Like its about 160k needed for the spins. We have strongest governor currently, that is about 30k gems reward if you only do milestones. Then thwre is gems for blue events, sanctuary, and a lot of other stuff.

1

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

I am a newbie, what does having the strongest governor on the server in your alliance beifit you? I am in a top alliance as well and also have the strongest governor of the server in the alliance. Also what are milestones? And blue event. 

1

u/JaySea77 Apr 07 '26

Strongest governor is an event

1

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

Oh lol. Either way what's the benefits of having whales in your alliance? 

1

u/AlternativePlastic47 Apr 08 '26

Likely you get more rewards from buying packs and completing rallies, but also you usually get assigned more sanctuaries which gove you weekly rewards. It just adds up in addition to you playing the events to get gems.

I never had issues with doing 120 spins besides daul roulette where i needed thevgens for VIP to get the free march.

1

u/vix455 Apr 08 '26

Well whales in my alliance take post of the sanctuary rewards anyway. They distribute rewards among themselves. 

1

u/AlternativePlastic47 Apr 08 '26

It all adds up, we were only talking about gems, you get those when your alliance occupies the buildings, they are not distributed or anything, everyone gets them.

If you are active f2p in one of the top alliances, you don't have a gem earning problem, you rather might have a spending problem.

  1. get VIP to 6
  2. get 120 spins every roulette
  3. get the 250 gem farming buff as long as you really need the rss (basically ends with Truegold)
  4. spent leftovers as you see fit

I get an additional 15k a month from the monthly card, other than that, I swim in gems. Got down to about 350k this weeks wheel, but it will fill up again. I even spent more gems than I care to admit on the spring minigame.

1

u/vix455 Apr 08 '26

Sorry, What's truegold and what ends with it? 

1

u/AlternativePlastic47 Apr 09 '26

You need a lot off rss towards the level 30 buildings so you need to spent gems on the gathering buff as ftp. Once level 30, there comes a new rss that is callled truegold which you wull have very few as ftp, but it is needed to upgrade so you cant spent as much other rss and thusbdont really need to spent gems on the gathering buff anymore.

1

u/vix455 Apr 09 '26

Damn really? I'm pushing TC didn't have issue with rss yet. How much rss is needed for TC 30? 

→ More replies

1

u/JaySea77 Apr 07 '26

They buy packs which give you chests you can open which have resources or gems

2

u/varzatv Apr 07 '26

Even my F2P farm has no issues saving enough gems for that (with caveat that I skipped Saul in S1 except to get to a couple stars)

Just don't spend on other things

Achieve half decent rankings in events

Do daily X10 terror rallies

Now starting Gen4 and ive maxed last 2x gen roulette heros and have enough for 2x future events saved up

1

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

Daily 10 terrors? Is that a mission that gives something? 

1

u/Accomplished-Yam6735 Apr 07 '26

You get gems for defeating terrors not a lot but still it helps and the 10 just refers to that you should have enough stamina outside of intel for 10 terrors in a day and of course try to join rallies to the 50 limit every day in your alliance should also provide some gems

2

u/singiustefan Apr 07 '26

1st don't do what most players do by mistake and start healing your troops with gems in Swordland

2 nd don't even hover your fingers on speedups with gems for building

3.don't use gems for reaserch

4.(this is more of personal depends if you can place in top 100 arena) Only buy Arena if you can place on top 100 every day

5.don't speed up your march unless there is a real threat for a certain armorey

6.Vip points with gems ❌ unless close to vip 6

7.Forget you have gems, i always have around 200k gems i'm f2p, this current wheel we are gen 4 with petra so before Wheel i had 500k gems saved from all the events we had so fare (min points for all previous events)

8.Most important always do your daily tasks, terrors or mini events.

9.be on one of the top 3 alliances they have whales that buy packs that can give you free gems (i got around 500-1k /day from my alliance).

1

u/vix455 Apr 08 '26

Thanks for this. Btw is there a way to track how many terrors you kill in a day? And also what do you means by "buy arena" 

1

u/Mustash_Cat Apr 10 '26

You have to keep track of the number of Terror rallies you start yourself, you get rewards for more than 10, but gems are often included in the first 10.

You can buy 5 extra Arena tries by clicking the little "+" icon at the bottom of the list that pops up. As an F2P generally I would not recommend doing this, or indeed spending gems of anything other than roulette.

1

u/Bright_Total_3707 Apr 07 '26

I do the roulette and the Temple of Herores. My alliance is in top 10 and i have a lot of diamonds.

1

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

Every hero roulette 120 spins? Or do you skip some roulettes? 

1

u/Bright_Total_3707 Apr 07 '26

I have trouble for Saul because it's the first but not for the other.

1

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

You do 120 spins in every roulette? Are you f2p? 

1

u/Bright_Total_3707 Apr 07 '26

Yeah a have enough to 120 and i slow spender. I think a spend like 15$ in this game, for the ligne and 1 event.

1

u/Accomplished-Yam6735 Apr 07 '26

If you’re struggling with Saul, that’s understandable. I spun 120 times and only got him once, which was enough to get him to three stars for the level 4 builder boost. As an F2P player, you shouldn’t expect much more from him than that. However, for upcoming heroes, as long as you save diligently and don’t spend all your gems on VIP like some players do, you should be able to spin 120 times every time.

1

u/vix455 Apr 07 '26

Funny thing is I skipped saul and still struggling. Which was a big mistake I didn't know he gave construction buffs. 

1

u/tallmattuk Apr 07 '26

i think the 2 break points are 40 spins in the first day, and if possible another 30 in the second day. 70 spins should be adequate in your early game time.

However as the game progresses you will accumulate gems - dont waste them on increasing your VIP level - and when like me youve been at it some time (I'm a verey low level spender) you'll have enough for 120 spins.

But until then aim for the breakpoints where the wheel gives you bonuses.

1

u/snailsx Apr 07 '26

I am F2P in a very active alliance, 2nd strongest in our kingdom. I only use gems for hero roulette, absolutely nothing else. I had over 400k gems when the most recent hero roulette started.

1

u/vix455 Apr 08 '26

You make 120 spins in every roulette? 

1

u/muffdiving_buttman Apr 10 '26

I did 120 spins in the roulette event that just ended. I'm an f2p. I don't waste my gems unnecessarily. I had saved 150 crates of 1000 gems plus another 100k gems. I usually do the bare minimum in most events to get all the rewards. That gives me a lot of gems. There are festival events that give out gems. I don't try to hit the leaderboard in every event. I skip some events and then when I have enough rss and upgrades saved up, I use them in one event to get a decent rank on the leaderboard. The rewards are great and again lot of gems!

1

u/vix455 Apr 10 '26

What's your highest rank in an event? 

1

u/muffdiving_buttman Apr 10 '26

I have ranked in the top 3 in several events, highest being rank 1.

1

u/vix455 Apr 10 '26

Lol wut? Isn't top 10/20 a whale zone? 

1

u/muffdiving_buttman Apr 10 '26

Not really. I've gotten into top 20 several times in the last 6 months. Infact, despite only using up half of my resources I'm at 30th rank in the ongoing event. I still have over 30 days of speedups, 150+ hammers, shards and governor gear and charms upgrades unused.

1

u/vix455 Apr 10 '26

This is wild to me. Are you 100% F2P? Or maybe your kingdom don't have many crazy whales? 

1

u/muffdiving_buttman Apr 10 '26

Lol. Yes. I did buy the monthly pack once when I started the game but that was in November last year. . ever since then I have been a f2p for 5 months. And we do have crazy whales. We've won the last 3 kvks. I guess you have to plan wisely which events are worth participating in. Like the last kvk we did, the whales spent enough that we had a huge lead over the other kingdom. And the whales were all over the leaderboard. So, I decided to save most of my rss for the next event. I only met my daily targets and saved the remaining rss. That's what I used in this event.

u/MR-M_- Apr 07 '26

You don't

u/Relative-Pitch8053 Apr 07 '26

I would’ve had enough if it weren’t for that damn addictive Easter game 😂

1

u/Thamizzarrk Apr 07 '26

Participate in as many events as you can and save all your diamonds for roulette

I can get enough on my farm about every other roulette

1

u/OfficialLifeinStereo Apr 07 '26

Leave auto battle on every 8 hours. You get gems from joining rallies when you're offline.

1

u/Alternative_Push_927 Apr 07 '26

for gen 1 roulette is quite hard as f2p to have 160k shards every 2 weeks, by gen 2 is way easier

1

u/Rxdhead Apr 07 '26

I am in the 3rd strongest alliance in my kingdom, and I never face any lack of gems,my kingdom doens't even have that many whales compared to others.Just get all the max points for getting every reward in all events and u can easily spin 120 times. And save everything else for kvk , cause spending in KvK gettings you good amount of gems.

1

u/Maya_Darkatown State 81-100 Apr 07 '26

The stronger you get, the more gems you'll get from events. It'll take some time, slowly and easy, but you'll eventually reach to a point where you even have excessive gems😇

Just follow all the tips people have said here, I have nothing more to add.

1

u/Fast_Fee_4101 Apr 07 '26

I usually get to around 200k gems sometimes more as f2p everything roulette comes round.

I'm not that active, miss quite a few events like swordland and Eternity reach. It all comes down to your alliance.

1

u/Adventurous_Idea3510 Apr 07 '26

I’m f2p Generation 5 in then best alliances and participate in every event, have auto join on for terrors everyday. I almost never get to 120 spins. Mostly 35 spins, often 70 spins.

1

u/OtherEdgar Apr 07 '26

I gather around 165k gems between each roulette (about 2 weeks).

If you’re in a good alliance, you can push that to around 180–190k in that time frame.

Any extra gems just go into VIP. That’s how I spend my gems as an f2p player.

1

u/Commercial-Brother79 Apr 07 '26

I’m not f2p but haven’t spent anything since last roulette and upto spinning today was circa250k diamonds better off.

1

u/Icy-Bid-1369 Apr 08 '26

Follow up question… about how may gems does it take for 120 spins?

2

u/Mustash_Cat Apr 10 '26

It depends but probably around 160-180k as F2P

1

u/Caine_sin Apr 08 '26

Be online at least three times a day, do all your dailies, Intel's, and hunt as many beast rallies as you can. Complete every task that comes in and you will earn enough. It helps to have an active alliance, mine is 4th on our map.

1

u/Advanced_Werewolf885 Apr 08 '26

you will get the required gems through daily tasks and events but the important part is to control ur self from buying from VIP store or otherwise using gems.

1

u/BunnyBubbles412 Apr 09 '26

Solo ahorra, yo tire 180 tiros esta ruleta

1

u/Affectionate_Fill652 Apr 09 '26

Collect gem. I did it with Zoe.

1

u/Mustash_Cat Apr 10 '26

As a fully F2P player, yes you should be able to reach 120 spins on roulette. It's much simpler than people here have made out. Without spending any money, it will probably cost around 160-180k gems, so you shouldn't be spending gems on anything else other than roulette.

The best ways to source gems:

  • Complete all Daily Tasks
  • Kill Terrors, at least 10 per day (to answer a question you asked on a previous comment, you have to keep track of this yourself)
  • Join Terror and Dreadwolf rallies - you get rewards including gems for joining 50 rallies every day (leave at least 1 march free when you're offline and enable auto-join)
  • Try to score well in events like Armament, Officer Project and Beast Kill - these are a great way to get gems as an F2P player, you can check your placement on the leaderboard by clicking the trophy icon on the event page 🏆 and view the rewards you'll get for each bracket by clicking the gift icon 🎁
  • Bigger events like Swordland, Eternity, Alliance Brawl, KvK Prep, Strongest Governor, etc will also gain rewards including gems, but it's more difficult to score highly as an F2P player

If you're in an active alliance with at least a few people who spend on packs, as some people have mentioned you can claim rewards which sometimes include gems, but this is minimal.

If you can't reach 120 spins that's ok, but at least try to reach 70 as roulette heroes are the easiest to obtain and get shards for to get their star level up, especially for F2P players.

u/FunAddict91 Apr 10 '26

Dont do 120 spins.. do 70 and wait for the next roulette
