Clash of Kings is a veteran war-strategy MMO about building a kingdom, researching tech and fighting for the throne across seven seas of servers. It regularly issues gift codes for Gold and resources. Working Clash of Kings codes are tracked and updated here the moment they go live.

Who Clash of Kings is for

Players who enjoy long-term base building, economy management and coordinating with an alliance.

How to start playing Clash of Kings

Jumping into Clash of Kings? Your first few days set the pace, so it pays to open with a plan. Strategy and 4X mobile games are about steady base growth and joining an active alliance. Follow the guided quests to build your economy, keep your builders and research queues busy at all times, and do not rush into combat before your base can support it.

Clash of Kings tips for beginners

  • Focus resources on your main march power and economy before cosmetic or side buildings.
  • Shield up before you log off if your server has open PvP, so you are not farmed overnight.
  • Keep every builder, research and troop-training queue running — idle queues are wasted growth.
  • Redeem Clash of Kings codes as soon as they drop — we track working ones on this page, and the free currency adds up toward your first pulls.
  • Join an active, helpful alliance as soon as you can — help, gifts and protection matter more than any single upgrade.

Common Clash of Kings beginner mistakes

  • Staying solo or in a dead alliance and missing gifts, help and protection.
  • Spending resources on the wrong buildings before economy and march power.
  • Logging off without a shield in an open-PvP server.
  • Leaving builders or research idle instead of always having something in the queue.

What to aim for in Clash of Kings

In Clash of Kings, the medium-term plan is simple: grow your base and troop power steadily, join a strong alliance, and climb the server power rankings and events.
