The Kingshot Hall of Governors, commonly shortened to HoG, is an early-kingdom progression event that rewards construction, research, hero development, troop training, gathering, Hero Gear, Governor Gear, and Governor Charm upgrades.
Hall of Governors normally returns about every two weeks during the first two hero generations. Each rotation has a different stage schedule, and your score across the event determines milestone and leaderboard rewards.
This guide covers the Hall of Governors schedule, HoG 1 through HoG 5, point values, seasonal heroes, troop promotion, Governor Gear scoring, Charm scoring, rewards, and the best strategy for free-to-play players and spenders.
The first Hall of Governors begins around kingdom Day 6. HoG 1 to 3 feature Amadeus, while HoG 4 and 5 feature Hilde. Save speedups, Hero Shards, Roulette spins, Forgehammers, Widgets, Governor Gear materials, and Charm materials until their matching stage becomes active.
What Is Hall of Governors in Kingshot?
Hall of Governors is a competitive growth event in which players complete stage-specific activities to earn points.
The event contains two main reward systems:
- Milestone rewards: Claimed after reaching specific point totals.
- Leaderboard rewards: Awarded according to your final ranking against other players in the kingdom.
Not every account upgrade scores on every day. For example, Hero Shards may score during Hero Development but provide no HoG points when used during a different stage.
The main strategy is therefore simple: save each progression material and use it only during the stage that awards points for it.
What Does HoG Mean in Kingshot?
HoG means Hall of Governors. Players may use terms such as HoG 1, HoG 2, HoG 3, HoG 4, or HoG 5 to describe the first through fifth event rotations in a kingdom.
Kingshot Hall of Governors Schedule
The first Hall of Governors begins on kingdom Day 6. Later events generally return at roughly two-week intervals.
| HoG Rotation | Approximate Timing | Stages | Season Hero | Important New Feature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HoG 1 | Around kingdom Day 6 | 5 stages | Amadeus | Beast and Terror stage |
| HoG 2 | About two weeks after HoG 1 | 6 stages | Amadeus | Hero Gear and Governor Gear scoring |
| HoG 3 | About two weeks after HoG 2 | 7 stages | Amadeus | Speedup scoring on Stage 7 |
| HoG 4 | About two weeks after HoG 3 | 7 stages | Hilde | Governor Charm scoring |
| HoG 5 | About two weeks after HoG 4 | 7 stages | Hilde | Same standard schedule as HoG 4 |
These dates are approximate. Kingdom progression, server grouping, game updates, and local event scheduling can change the exact start day.
Check the Event Center and kingdom announcements before spending saved materials.
How Often Does Hall of Governors Happen?
Hall of Governors generally happens once every two weeks during the early life of a kingdom.
It is not normally a permanent biweekly event throughout the full life of an account. After the early HoG rotations end, Strongest Governor generally becomes the main recurring competitive progression event.
Is There a Hall of Governors 6?
The standard documented schedule contains five Hall of Governors rotations:
- HoG 1
- HoG 2
- HoG 3
- HoG 4
- HoG 5
There is no standard sixth Hall of Governors in the current commonly documented rotation. Players searching for HoG 6 may be seeing the transition into Strongest Governor or a server-specific variation.
If your Event Center displays a sixth Hall of Governors, follow its live task list because server-specific schedules can differ from the standard rotation.
Hall of Governors Seasonal Heroes
Amadeus in HoG 1 to HoG 3
Amadeus is the featured seasonal hero during the first three Hall of Governors events.
On the standard reward structure, players must finish among the top 10 overall point earners to secure the important Amadeus ranking reward. Completing milestone tasks alone does not guarantee that you will unlock him.
Competition is usually extremely high because these events happen while the kingdom is new and many players are spending resources to establish an early lead.
Hilde in HoG 4 and HoG 5
Hilde replaces Amadeus as the featured seasonal hero in the fourth and fifth Hall of Governors rotations.
Hilde shards commonly extend to the top 100 overall players, making her more accessible than Amadeus. However, the exact number of shards and ranking brackets should always be checked inside the live event reward screen.
Free-to-play and low-spending players often have a more realistic chance of earning useful Hilde rewards than reaching the Amadeus top 10.
HoG 1 Stage Schedule
The first Hall of Governors begins around kingdom Day 6 and has five stages.
| Stage | Stage Name | Main Scoring Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | City Construction | Construction and research power |
| 2 | Hero Development | Hero Roulette, Hero Shards, and gathering |
| 3 | Train Troops | Training troops from Level 1 through Level 10 |
| 4 | Beast Slay | Defeating Beasts and rallying Terrors |
| 5 | Power Boost | Construction, research, troop training, and promotion power |
HoG 1 Stage 1 Points
- Raise 1 Construction Power: 45 points
- Raise 1 Research Power: 45 points
HoG 1 Stage 4 Points
- Defeat one Level 1 to Level 30 Beast: 30,000 points
- Call a rally and defeat one Terror: 90,000 points
If every eligible Beast level gives the same score on your live screen, use a convenient level that you can defeat quickly and repeatedly.
HoG 2 Stage Schedule
The second Hall of Governors usually arrives about two weeks after the first and adds Hero Gear and Governor Gear scoring.
| Stage | Stage Name | Main Scoring Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | City Construction | Construction and research power |

| 3 | Train Troops | Training troops by tier |
| 4 | Gather Resources | Gathering and research power |
| 5 | Power Boost | Forgehammers, Enhancement XP, Widgets, and power |
| 6 | Governor Gear Upgrade | Governor Gear score and general power |
HoG 2 Stage 5 Points

HoG 3 Stage Schedule
The third Hall of Governors normally lasts seven stages. Amadeus remains the featured seasonal hero.
| Stage | Stage Name | Main Scoring Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Power Boost | Construction, research, training, and promotion power |
| 2 | Hero Development | Roulette, Hero Shards, and gathering |
| 3 | Train Troops | Training troops by tier |
| 4 | Gather Resources | Gathering and research power |
| 5 | Power Boost | Forgehammers, Widgets, construction, research, and troops |
| 6 | Governor Gear Upgrade | Governor Gear score |
| 7 | Hero Development | Hero Shards and construction, research, or training speedups |
HoG 3 Stage 7 Points
- Use one Rare Hero Shard: 4,000 points
- Use one Epic Hero Shard: 14,000 points
- Use one Mythic Hero Shard: 35,000 points
- Use one minute of Construction Speedups: 300 points
- Use one minute of Research Speedups: 300 points
- Use one minute of Training or Promotion Speedups: 300 points
One hour of an eligible speedup equals 18,000 points because one hour contains 60 minutes.
HoG 4 and HoG 5 Stage Schedule
The fourth and fifth Hall of Governors rotations share the same standard stage structure. Hilde is the featured seasonal hero, and Governor Charm upgrades replace the earlier gathering-focused fourth stage.
| Stage | Stage Name | Main Scoring Actions |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Power Boost | Construction, research, training, and promotion power |
| 2 | Hero Development | Roulette, Hero Shards, and gathering |
| 3 | Train Troops | Training troops by tier |
| 4 | Charm Upgrade | Governor Charm score, gathering, and research power |
| 5 | Power Boost | Forgehammers, Widgets, construction, research, and troops |
| 6 | Governor Gear Upgrade | Governor Gear score |
| 7 | Hero Development | Hero Shards and speedups |
Save Charm Guides and Charm Designs for Stage 4 when possible. For the full material costs and recommended troop priority, read the Kingshot Governor Charms guide.
The main Hero Development values used across Hall of Governors rotations are:
| Action | Points |
|---|---|
| Play Hero Roulette once | 90,000 |
| Use one Rare Hero Shard | 4,000 |
| Use one Epic Hero Shard | 14,000 |
| Use one Mythic Hero Shard | 35,000 |
| Gather 50 Bread | 3 |
| Gather 50 Wood | 3 |
| Gather 10 Stone | 3 |
| Gather 2 Iron | 3 |

| Level 4 | 265 |
| Level 5 | 385 |
| Level 6 | 595 |
| Level 7 | 830 |
| Level 8 | 1,130 |
| Level 9 | 1,485 |
| Level 10 | 1,960 |
Is Promoting Troops Better in Hall of Governors?
Promotion is usually more efficient when you already have a large number of lower-tier troops.
When you promote troops:
- You only pay the time and resources needed to move from the current tier to the target tier.
- You improve troops already inside your army.
- You can generate event points without training the full target tier from zero.
- You remove weaker troops that would otherwise remain in your formations.
However, promotion does not increase your total troop count. Train fresh troops when your army is too small, then use promotion when your existing army contains many outdated units.
A strong event strategy is to train lower-tier troops between major events and promote them during Hall of Governors. Do not create weak troops solely for this method unless the expected future promotion value justifies the resources.
How to Prepare Troop Queues
Start long training queues before the Train Troops stage begins, then collect them after the stage opens.
Before using speedups:
- Activate available Training Speed bonuses.
- Check that you have enough resources for the full session.
- Use dedicated Training Speedups before General Speedups.
- Promote the highest useful troop tier available.
- Keep all three troop buildings active.
How Governor Gear Scoring Works
The task “Raise Governor Gear max score by 1” does not mean that one full gear upgrade gives only 500 points.
During the relevant HoG stage:
HoG points = Governor Gear score increase × 500
For example:
| Governor Gear Upgrade | Score Increase | HoG Points |
|---|---|---|
| Uncommon | 1,125 | 562,500 |
| Rare | 3,000 | 1,500,000 |
| Rare 3-Star | 5,400 | 2,700,000 |
| Mythic | 6,250 | 3,125,000 |
Use the score preview displayed before confirming an upgrade to calculate its expected HoG points.
How Governor Charm Scoring Works
HoG 4 and HoG 5 award 1,000 points for every one-point increase in Governor Charm score.
HoG points = Governor Charm score increase × 1,000
| Charm Level Upgrade | Score Increase | HoG Points |
|---|---|---|
| Level 1 | 625 | 625,000 |
| Level 3 | 3,125 | 3,125,000 |
| Level 5 | 11,250 | 11,250,000 |
| Level 10 | 15,000 | 15,000,000 |
| Level 11 | 16,000 | 16,000,000 |
This is why Charm Stage scores can increase very quickly. Save Charm materials for HoG 4 or HoG 5 when the event timing does not delay an urgently needed combat upgrade.
What Gives the Most Points for One Action?
There is no single answer for every stage.
- One exclusive Hero Widget gives 100,000 direct points.
- One Hero Roulette spin gives 90,000 direct points.
- One Mythic Hero Shard gives 35,000 direct points.
- One Governor Gear upgrade can generate millions of points.
- One Governor Charm upgrade can generate several million points.
- A large construction or research upgrade can generate a major score based on its Power increase.
The highest score from one button press often comes from Governor Gear, Governor Charms, or a major building upgrade. However, these actions also consume rare materials and should not be completed only for temporary leaderboard points.
Hall of Governors Rewards
Milestone Rewards
Hall of Governors commonly provides four milestone reward tiers. Rewards may include:
- Gems
- Hero Skill Books
- Hero XP
- Resources
- Construction Speedups
- Research Speedups
- Training Speedups
- General Speedups
Milestone rewards are the safest goal for free-to-play and low-spending players because they do not depend on other players’ spending.
Leaderboard Rewards
Leaderboard rewards depend on your final cumulative ranking. They can include seasonal Hero Shards, Gems, speedups, and other valuable progression items.
The exact reward quantities can vary by rotation and server. Check the ranking tab before deciding how many resources to spend.
Best Hall of Governors Strategy
Save Materials for Their Correct Stage
Prepare separate stockpiles for:
- Construction Speedups
- Research Speedups
- Training Speedups
- Hero Roulette tickets or Gems
- Rare, Epic, and Mythic Hero Shards
- Hero Gear Forgehammers
- Enhancement XP Parts
- Exclusive Hero Widgets
- Governor Gear materials
- Charm Guides and Charm Designs
Do not spend these materials as soon as you obtain them unless an immediate upgrade is more important than event efficiency.
Prepare Building and Research Timers
Start long upgrades before their scoring stage, then finish them after the stage opens.
Confirm whether your live stage awards points based on completed Power, speedups used, or both. The scoring method changes between HoG rotations.
Preload Gathering Marches
Before a gathering stage begins:
- Send all available marches to large resource nodes.
- Use the correct gathering heroes.
- Time the marches to finish after the stage starts.
- Use a temporary Gathering Speed bonus when useful.
Gathering stages allow active free-to-play players to score without consuming rare upgrade materials.
Use Hero Shards Only on Scoring Days
Hero Shards provide some of the largest direct Hero Development values. Save ascensions unless the hero is urgently needed for an important battle.
Do not spend universal Mythic Shards on an unimportant hero only to generate HoG points. The permanent hero investment matters more than the temporary event score.
Watch the Leaderboard Cutoff
Before chasing a ranking bracket:
- Check your current score.
- Check the score of the next reward bracket.
- Estimate the materials required to pass it.
- Watch how quickly the cutoff is increasing.
- Stop when the permanent resources cost more than the reward is worth.
A top 10 rank can move rapidly during the final hours. Do not assume your position is safe because you were ranked highly earlier in the event.
Free-to-Play Hall of Governors Strategy
Most free-to-play players should focus on milestone rewards rather than attempting to win every HoG rotation.
Recommended priorities:
- Claim achievable milestone rewards.
- Use gathering and Beast stages aggressively.
- Save Hero Shards for the correct day.
- Promote existing troops during training stages.
- Avoid draining all universal speedups for Amadeus top 10.
- Save larger stockpiles for the more accessible Hilde rotations.
- Stop spending when the next ranking bracket becomes unrealistic.
Missing a seasonal hero is usually less damaging than emptying every speedup, resource, shard, and gear material during the first weeks of the kingdom.
Spender and Rally Leader Strategy
Players competing for top rankings should coordinate purchases and upgrades around the exact scoring stage.
- Buy Hero Roulette resources during Hero Development.
- Use Governor Gear materials during Stage 6.
- Use Charm materials during HoG 4 or HoG 5 Stage 4.
- Use Widgets and Forgehammers during the relevant Power Boost stage.
- Prepare resources before using large speedup stockpiles.
- Keep enough materials for Castle Battle and alliance objectives.
Do not purchase a pack simply because it contains event materials. Calculate whether it completes a meaningful permanent upgrade or reaches a valuable ranking bracket.
Players entering an older kingdom may face major gaps in seasonal heroes, troops, Governor Gear, Charms, Hero Gear, and research. Those comparing established progression options can review a verified kingshot account for sale before deciding whether to rebuild every early HoG system from the beginning.
Common Hall of Governors Mistakes
Spending Before the Correct Stage
An upgrade may provide no HoG points when completed on the wrong day. Always check the active task list first.
Assuming HoG Continues Forever
The standard rotation contains five early Hall of Governors events. Strongest Governor generally replaces it later.
Expecting Milestones to Unlock Amadeus
Amadeus is tied to the overall ranking during HoG 1 to 3. Milestone completion alone does not guarantee his unlock.
Training Only New Troops
Promotion can be more efficient when you already have many lower-tier troops. Compare promotion and fresh-training costs before using speedups.
Ignoring Governor Gear Score Multipliers
The task awards points for every point of Gear score gained. A single full upgrade can generate millions of HoG points.
Using Charm Materials Before HoG 4 or HoG 5
Charm upgrades become a dedicated scoring category in the later HoG rotations. Save them when waiting does not weaken your account before an important battle.
Chasing a Moving Rank Without a Limit
Decide your maximum resource budget before pushing. Stop if the cutoff moves beyond the value of the reward.
Following an Old Schedule Without Checking the Event Center
Stages and reward brackets can change. Treat the in-game event screen as the final rule source.
