Every time you level up your Monarch, you earn another talent point. These points allow you to learn a new talent, or upgrade an existing one. To access the talent tree, click on your monarch picture on the top left, and then click talent. This tree will allow you to set up towards certain playstyles. Personally I look for a mix between pvp and resource production, but each player will have a unique style.
This tree has 12 layers, my personal preference is as follows:
- Level 2 – March Speed
- Level 6 – Resource Production
- Level 10 – Archer Tower Attack
- Level 14 – Healing Cost
- Level 18 – Resource Plunder
- Level 22 – Subordinate City Attack (Switch to Resources Critical when opening lots of boxes)
- Level 26 – Gathering Boost
- Level 30 – Fatal Strike
- Level 31 – In City HP
- Level 35 – Attacking Survival
- Level 36 – In City Attack
- Level 40 – Troop Revival
Remember, this is unique to each player. It depends on playstyle, and whether you coin or not. Play around and see what works for you, you can reset the tree at anytime although it will cost 2,000 gems.
