How to Rank Top 3 in Kingshot's “Vanished Relic” Event

Starting Off

Trying to win in King Shot's "Vanished Relic" event without spending? Here’s a step-by-step strategy that actually works. You’ll learn how to climb to the top rankings even against high-level players.

 

1. Understanding the core logic behind this event

This event isn’t about brute force — it’s about timing, positioning, and knowing how to maximize points.

I’ve participated in multiple rounds of the Infinity Reach event, and most of the time, I finished in the top 3 without spending any money. Even with just a single transfer package, I managed to outscore heavily invested players by following this simple loop: Kill soldiers and collect ore at the right times.

 

2. Here's the simple loop I kept repeating

🎯 How I stayed in the top rankings with just this routine

What to do	Why it matters	Timing
Kill soldiers	+1,500 ore per soldier	Constantly throughout the event
Occupy a vein (once/min)	+5,000 ore for every new attack	Every 60 seconds
Use free teleports	Optimize positioning and avoid crowded spots	Whenever blocked or surrounded
Avoid distant targets	Saves time and boosts points per minute	Always
Focus on exploding mines	Massive bonus at 7 and 20 minutes	Only when mines appear

The key takeaway:

If you're always either killing soldiers or attacking veins every minute, you’re always gaining points. Most players fail because they’re idle between actions.

 

3. Skills setup: What goes where and why

(1) How I assigned abilities to get maximum ore every round

First skill – Right side
This skill gives 1,500 ore per defeated soldier. Since soldier-killing is your main task, it makes sense to assign this first.

Second skill – Right side again
Speed is essential. You want to reach enemies before others do.

Third skill – Left side
This one grants 5,000 ore when occupying a vein, and it resets every minute. Make sure to time it: attack, exit immediately, wait 60 seconds, and repeat.

Fourth skill – Left side
This boosts ore collection from occupied veins by 15%. Perfect for maximizing that 5,000-point bonus.

Last skill – It depends
If you’re stronger, choose the left (longer control in the center). If you're low-spending, go right — it helps more during the mine explosion phase.

 

4. Positioning matters more than power

(2) Where I teleport and why it gave me the edge

I usually do a quick area scan before starting. If I’m surrounded or boxed in by others, I teleport to a quieter zone.

• Always use free teleports strategically
• Avoid areas already flooded with high-rank players
• Move closer to newly spawned soldiers or veins
• Don’t stick around when things get crowded — relocate fast

One thing I learned the hard way:

Being stuck in a busy zone cost me tens of thousands of points. A simple relocation changed that.

 

5. Why the 1-minute rule changes everything

(3) Timing every move made the difference in ranking

I treated every 60 seconds like a new round. My timer would go:
Kill soldiers → 1-minute mark → attack vein → repeat

Sometimes I’d forget the timing while explaining things out loud, and it was clear in the results.

If you follow this single rule, you’ll easily reach 100,000+ points just from timed attacks.

 

6. Soldier farming: Doing it smart, not hard

(4) How I picked the best soldier targets without wasting time

• Never attacked soldiers more than 30km away
• Waited for closer groups to spawn instead of chasing distant ones
• Used map zoom and manual targeting to reduce waste
• Avoided overlap zones where others were also attacking

It might seem passive, but this saved time — and time is ore.

 

7. Center castle & exploding mines: The bonus zone

(5) What really pushes you up the leaderboard

There are two specific time points to watch:

• Minute 7 → Center castle opens
• Minute 20 → Exploding mines appear

If you enter the center and hold position, you gain a 50,000-point bonus. I missed this one time, and it was the difference between 9th and 4th place.

My suggestion:

Plan to be at the center just before minute 7. If you're weak, try once — if blocked, don’t waste time. Go back to soldier killing and vein attacks.

 

8. Real question: Can you win without spending?

(6) What I achieved with no money spent

Yes — and I’ve done it several times.

I use an account with only one free transfer package, and still finish in top rankings. The only real investment here is your attention to timing and decision-making.

• Kill soldiers constantly
• Attack veins exactly every minute
• Time your teleportations
• Enter the center at the right time if you can

 

9. One question I always ask myself before starting

(7) “Is this a good position to farm soldiers for the next 5 minutes?”

If the answer is no, I teleport — even if I just got there. This flexibility allowed me to stay ahead of more static, stronger players.

 

Wrapping Up

Once you understand the core loop — kill soldiers, attack veins, repeat — everything else becomes about positioning and timing.

Even with several mistakes and missed windows (because I was recording and explaining), I still finished 9th place with 369,000 points.

If I’d focused fully on play, I know I would’ve crossed 500,000+ easily, because I’ve done it before.

Your turn:

Try this method. After your next run, compare your new rank to your previous one. That’s the best way to know if this strategy really works for you.

Let me know in the comments how you did. Good luck, and see you on the leaderboard.
