Introduction

In February 2017 King of Avalon was extended with a Lucky Shot game. This guide explains how it works.

How it Works

In the Tavern Building there is a new item for the Lucky Shot. When you click this you get a field where you can make a lucky shot to get prizes. To make a Lucky Shot, you need Lucky Shot coins matching the current month. There are nine targets and each shot in the same field requires and increasing amount of Lucky Shot Coins.

Need to Purchase to Unlock

If you have not purchased any pack yet, this Lucky Shot game will be locked. It is on the one hand unfortunate that King of Avalon is also getting more away from its free to play origin, on the other hand even if you purchased just a very small pack in the past the Lucky Shot game will be unlocked.

How to get Lucky Shot Coins?

You can get two lucky shot coins daily by reaching the 4th and 6th point milestones in the Daily Rewards. Alternatively there are certain packs available that contain lucky shot coins as well.

Different Fields

There are different type of fields and each type has some variations as well. You can give up on one field to switch to the next. The more you make shots in the same field, the better the prizes get, so you might consider first selecting the field you want and trying to get good prizes in it.

The field I am currently working on provides 1 Conquest Stone as the main prize and for the rest many refining stones and two raw valor gemstones. The refining stones and raw valor gemstones are easy to come by now, but to my knowledge there is no other free way to get conquest stones, so I like this field.

Other fields can for example provide equipment scrolls that you cannot easily acquire in other ways.

Order of Prizes

Not sure whether there is any randomness in the order you get the prizes, but if it is it plays only a minor role. You will need a lot of Lucky Shot Coins to get the really good prizes.

Update: In order the requirements are : 1, 2, 3, 6, 10, 19, 34, 61, 110, so you need a total of 246 Lucky Shot Coins to clear a field.

Tactic

There are different possible tactics. You can go for the ultimate reward in a field. This will cost a lot of coins, which means a lot of time if you don't purchase the coins. Drawback is that things might change along the way, I was for example working on a field to get my second conquest stone, but everyone got one for free for the 2nd anniversary login bonus, so my efforts went to waste. From this point of view, even if you have selected the right lucky shot field, you might still wait actually spending your coins to open targets until you have sufficient to open all targets.

As an alternative approach you could consider finding a field where the first prizes are already interesting for you and for example opt to open only 1 (or 2 or 3) targets each time before switching to another field. For example opening one target in an equipment field could give you basic materials, and one target in the dragon field could give you a nice amoount of assault power.

Update

The lucky shot coins have been updated in game update 3.5. From this version onwards they are not restricted to a specific month anymore, and existing lucky coins in your inventory can be exchanged for the new coins (2-1 ratio).

Conclusion

After the monthly coin restriction has been removed this is a nice, although time consuming, free way to get some otherwise difficult (or impossible) to acquire items. The fact that you have to purchase one package (no matter how cheap) is a small price to pay.
