Castle Battle · Frost Stars
When the Castle Battle ends, every player on the Castle Battle Leaderboard gets a ranking reward, and the first item on V4 is Frost Stars. Rank 1 takes 20,000, and the ladder keeps paying all the way down to rank 550.

Transcribed from WarReaper's V4 Castle Battle Leaderboard → Ranking Rewards screens (State 30, Nov 2026). These are Castle Battle ranking rewards only, not the Preparation rewards or the State Power Shop. Amounts can change with the event version or your State, so the reward preview in your game always wins.
These Frost Stars are not in the calculator's monthly total, so a good Castle Battle is pure extra on top of Arena, Bear Hunt and daily missions.
Frost Stars calculatorWatch the live
WarReaper's State 30 against State 38: ten rallies defended over six hours in the Golden Globe battle. Watch how the castle fight actually plays out before your own SvS.
SvS in 60 seconds
The State that wins Preparation usually becomes the attacker, and the castle fight happens in the other State. It still has to win the castle.
The castle result is separate from Preparation. Guides describe a 2.5-hour unbroken hold, with total hold time as the tiebreaker.
After the battle, eligible losses can be revived: about 30% base, up to 10% from potions and up to 50% from alliance help.
The rule: read the live SvS task card every day. Online charts disagree about which task falls on which day, and your own V4 screen is the only one that counts.
The four phases
Usually about two days. Players report it weighs the top-100 troop power, past results and activity. Your opponent shows before Preparation starts.
Five scoring days in most guides (some count six, including the result day, which is why charts disagree). Use the task card and countdown in your own event.
The Preparation winner attacks, and the castle fight happens in the losing State. Cross-State city fights open before the castle, and the phase can stay open after it.
A short recovery window after the battle, about two days. Troops here are not the same as troops in the Enlistment Office.
Before every phase change, screenshot the timer and open the rules once. It takes a minute and saves points, troops and rewards.
Preparation
Think in terms of which actions score today and what you can afford to spend, not a fixed chart from the internet.
Fire Crystals, Refined Fire Crystals, Fire Crystal Shards, and construction and research speedups.
Named Hero Shards, Expert Sigils and skill speedups. Check whether General Shards or Common Sigils are excluded.
Chief Charms, Chief Gear, pet upgrades, Essence Stones, Exclusive Gear Widgets and Mithril.
Lucky Wheel, gathering, Beasts, Polar Terror rallies and troop training or promotion can also appear as tasks. Seeing a resource on a public chart doesn't prove it scores today on your server.
Free-to-play rule: spend an item when it matches today's task and still moves your account forward. Don't wreck your normal progress to dump stock into a leaderboard with an unclear payoff.
The same action can count toward all three, but State credit may depend on your Furnace level. One widely shared rules snapshot gives full credit from FC4, half from FC2 to FC3 and none from Furnace 16 to FC1. Newer tables show different thresholds, so open your live event rules before judging your account.

Battle day
The commonly published schedule, in server time (UTC+8) and in your own time. Confirm every time on the live SvS screen.
| Server time (UTC+8) | Your time | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 18:00 | 10:00 UTC | The cross-State portal opens. If you're not fighting, shield before this. |
| 20:00 | 12:00 UTC | The Sunfire Castle battle starts in the State that lost Preparation, for up to five hours. |
| 01:00 (next day) | 17:00 UTC | Latest end of the castle window in current guides. |
| 06:00 (next day) | 22:00 UTC | The wider Battle Phase can end here. Keep shields up until it does. |
Your time is worked out from your device's clock.
Castle Battle
Winning Preparation decides where the castle fight happens and who attacks. It doesn't win the castle for you.
Current guides say an alliance must hold Sunfire Castle for 2.5 hours in a row. If nobody does that in the five-hour window, the longest total hold wins. Check the active rules before leaders plan around it.
Guides report points for enemy troops defeated and for your own troops lost in cross-State fights, weighted by troop tier, plus ongoing points for holding the castle or a turret. Open the live battle details for the numbers.
Even if the castle looks hard, winning Preparation protects your own castle and moves the main fight to the other State.
Personal protection. If you're not fighting cross-State, turn it on before the portal opens. Attacking or joining some rallies can drop it.
Guides say the attacking State's castle is safe because the fight happens in the other State. That doesn't shield any single city.
Field Triage
Field Triage is a short recovery window for eligible Battle Phase losses. Community sources describe the ceiling like this:
30%
base recovery from the event
+10%
Revival Potions, 1% each, bought with gems (2,250 gems for all ten)
+50%
Rebirth Tomes from allies, 1% each, up to 50 received
90%
the most often cited maximum
Each player is reported to get 20 tomes to give away. Some sources describe a different base rate, so check your own Field Triage screen.

On WarReaper's V4 reward screen the Castle Battle Leaderboard pays 20,000 Frost Stars for rank 1, 10,000 for rank 10, 8,000 for ranks 11 to 20 and 3,200 for ranks 501 to 550. Check the reward preview in your own game, as amounts can change.
No. Preparation decides which State attacks and where the castle fight happens. The castle itself is won by holding it under the battle rules, which current guides describe as a 2.5-hour unbroken hold.
In the commonly published schedule the cross-State portal opens at 18:00 server time (UTC+8) and the Sunfire Castle battle starts at 20:00, which is 10:00 and 12:00 UTC. Confirm the times on the live SvS screen.
Community sources describe a 30% base, up to 10% more from Revival Potions and up to 50% more from allies' Rebirth Tomes, for a maximum of about 90% of eligible losses.
