Congratulations on reaching Level 10 VIP, the critical threshold that unlocks the **free talent memory reset**! Prior to this, resetting your talents cost valuable diamonds, making specialized builds impractical. With free resets, strategic switching becomes the foundation of efficient gameplay.

You begin with **three talent sets** until you achieve **VIP 11**, which unlocks the ability to have **four talent sets**. Mastering these initial three sets—Balance, Attack, and Production—is the key to exponential growth, ensuring you always have the right specialization for the task at hand.

Your three primary **Talent Sets** are designed for highly specific operational roles:

• Balance Set: For passive maintenance, training, and healing efficiency.
• Attack Set: For raw troop power, battle survivability, and rally impact.
• Production Set: For fast-tracking construction, research, and resource collection.

The **Balance Set** is your default configuration for periods outside of major combat or heavy building/research cycles. It aims for longevity and resource preservation, providing buffs for:

• Training (capacity and speed)
• Healing (capacity and speed) and Infirmary size
• Wall defense, storage capacity, troop load
• Stamina replenishment and march speed

Key Special Talents (T4 Nodes):

• Hunt Master: Reduces stamina cost by **20%** for 10 minutes (24-hour cooldown). Crucial for sustained daily monster hunting.
• Cost Reduction: Reduces the cost of training and healing troops by **25%** for 60 minutes (24-hour cooldown). Essential for large troop pushes during events.
• Instant Heal: Instantly restores 10% of wounded troops in your infirmary at no cost (24-hour cooldown). Provides a necessary panic button during unexpected attacks.

**Expert Tip:** Always be in the Balance Set when collecting resources or training troops to benefit from the Cost Reduction talent and boost passive collection rates.

The **Attack Set** should only be activated immediately prior to major rallies, AvA combat (like BOS or ME), or when hunting dangerous world bosses. It maximizes raw offensive and defensive stats, enhancing:

• Troop strength (attack, defense, health) and damage output
• Troop size and march speed
• Reduces troop losses after battle (casualty reduction)

Key Special Talents (T4 Nodes):

• Recall: Instantly recalls all troops in **3 seconds** (8-hour cooldown). Your most vital defensive tool for minimizing casualties during a surprise attack.
• Mega March: Increases max troop size by **10%** for 30 minutes (12-hour cooldown). Necessary for maximizing rally and march strength during critical battles.
• Divine Blessing: Turns 30% of troops that are *killed* into wounded troops (up to the infirmary cap) for 30 minutes (24-hour cooldown). Activates best just before high-casualty engagements.

The **Production Set** is your speed-dial for any heavy infrastructure development, reducing time sinks and accelerating your Castle's growth curve. It focuses on improving:

• Building and research times (the highest reductions in the tree)
• Resource production and gathering speed

Key Special Talents (T4 Nodes):

• Fast Build: Reduces building time for constructions started within **5 minutes** (24-hour cooldown). Use this for your single longest building project.
• Swift Gatherer: Instantly grants the maximum amount of resources for your gathering troops (excluding alliance/diamond mines) (24-hour cooldown). Use this when your marches return from the field.
• Fast Producer: Instantly produces 5 hours of resources from resource buildings (12-hour cooldown). Useful for quickly accumulating low-tier resources.

With your free reset at VIP 10, the priority is to create three **dedicated, fully functional sets** that allow seamless transition between growth and combat phases.

The Strategic Allocation Principle (E-A-T)

Your talent points (e.g., Level 51 with 258 points) must be allocated efficiently to **activate the critical T4 Special Talents** within each tree, as these effects provide the largest benefit.

For a high-level player using a Production set, for example, you must spend enough points to hit the **Fast Build** node. The surrounding nodes are primarily prerequisites; the value is in unlocking the T4 talent.

• **Allocation Focus:** Prioritize spending points along the shortest path to your necessary T4 talents (Fast Build, Cost Reduction, Mega March). Use any remaining points to fill out secondary buffs (e.g., troop load or generic attack percentages).

Switching Protocols

Frequent switching between sets is highly recommended, as long as you adhere to the following protocols:

• **Default Set:** Always default to **Balance** or **Production** when offline or performing daily maintenance.
• **Combat Switch:** Switch to the **Attack Set** only when launching a rally, defending your castle, or participating in ME/BOS. Switch back to a maintenance set immediately after the event concludes or the march returns.
• **Efficiency Cycle:** For maximum construction speed, switch to the **Production Set**, activate **Fast Build**, initiate your construction, and then switch back to **Balance** for the Cost Reduction/Healing buffs while the construction timer runs down.

**High-Level Tip:** For advanced combat efficiency, you can initiate a march using the **Attack Set** (securing the Mega March size buff) and then immediately switch your talent profile back to **Balance** while the march is en route. This allows the march to retain the size buff (from Mega March) while your castle immediately benefits from the Cost Reduction or Healing buffs in your Balance profile.

By constantly adapting and switching between these sets, you can optimize your growth and strategy, depending on your in-game needs.
