The Halloween season has arrived in KingsHot, bringing a limited-time event packed with exclusive skins, daily missions, candy farming mechanics, and a jackpot-based pumpkin mini-game. This KingShot Halloween Event walks you through how the event works, the rewards on offer, and the most efficient way to approach it whether you are free-to-play, a small spender, or a competitive spender.
KingsHot Halloween Event Guide – Rewards, Skins, and Best Strategy
This year’s Halloween Party event follows a similar structure to previous themed events, such as the Hot Dog event. The core loop revolves around collecting Halloween Candies, attacking pumpkins for rewards, and progressing through tasks for extra bonuses. While the format feels familiar, this event introduces a few exclusive opportunities, including a top-10 ranking castle skin and limited-time permanent buffs.
Ranking Rewards
A highly sought-after reward this time is the exclusive castle skin for finishing in the Top 10 of the event leaderboard. It grants a permanent 2% Squad Attack bonus. However, the leaderboard is heavily dominated by high spenders, making it unrealistic for free-to-play or light spenders to compete.
If you are not a heavy spender, do not chase leaderboard rankings. The spending required simply does not justify the value of the reward compared to what you gain elsewhere in the game.
Daily Priority: Secure 300 Points
Every day, aim to reach 300 points. Doing so grants:
- Two General Hero Shards
- Three Forge Hammers
- Speedups
These rewards reset daily, so consistency across the event will yield far more value than gambling on rankings.
A smart approach is to save your pumpkins and use them all on the final day when jackpot values are significantly higher.
Attacking the Pumpkin: How It Works
The pumpkin attack feature is the heart of the event’s reward system. Each attack grants a chance to earn items such as:
- Hero Chests
- Governor Stamina
- Gems
- Hero HP
- Speedups
Winning the pumpkin event yields even stronger rewards, including Governor Gear Material chests and Forge Hammers.
The jackpot mechanic fluctuates throughout the event. You can win thousands of Treasure Points, with occasional jackpots rising as high as 7,000 to 10,000. Only attack when the jackpot is high to maximize value.
There is an Auto-Attack function, but it unlocks only after manually hitting 60 times.
The Wicked Witch Encounter
While attacking the pumpkin, there is a chance of summoning the Wicked Witch. Defeating her gives access to even better rewards, such as:
- Lucky Hero Gear Chests
- Governor Gear Chests
- Gems
- Forge Hammers
Expect gems to be the most common drop, often in batches of 100.
How to Earn Halloween Candies
Halloween Candies drive your event progression. They can be obtained through both paid and free methods:
Paid Methods
- A free starter pack containing 100 Candies
- Paid bundles: 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 dollar packs (usually multiple $100 purchases available)
Free-to-Play Methods
- Gathering and defeating beasts (no spending required)
- Trick or Treat event door sharing
- Prankster King daily missions
Avoid spending gems or speedups to generate candies. These resources hold far greater value during Kingdom vs Kingdom (KvK) events, where progression and kingdom support matter far more.
Trick or Treat Event: Easy Daily Candy
This side activity lets players earn candies through door sharing. You get three doors, and each player who visits grants 20 candies. Visiting others offers up to 300 candies per day.
You can only open two doors daily, so remember to do it every day for consistent progress. Check alliance chat frequently to share and claim doors.
Prankster King Tasks
Prankster King introduces daily rotating tasks, such as:
- Power boosts
- Construction or research
- Rallying
- Training and promoting troops
- Hero upgrades
- Using saved recruitment chests
Use your Epic and Advanced recruitment chests here, as these monthly events provide the best value for opening them.
However, again, do not pursue ranking rewards here. Even top placement rewards are not worth competing against heavy spenders.
Battle Pass
The Halloween Battle Pass offers two paid tiers:
- 5 dollar pass
- 10 dollar pass
Older kingdoms may have different reward tables, but for most players, the $5 pass is the best purchase. It provides:
- Permanent 2% Squad Defense skin
- 1,000 Halloween Candies
- Eight Mythic General Hero Shards
This gives far better long-term value than any higher tier unless you already spend regularly.
A second premium skin, the Speedy Witch Castle Skin, grants a 5% Solo Hunting March Speed bonus. It requires roughly $60 of spending, positioning it for medium spenders rather than small.
Free-to-Play Section
Surprising Symphony is a task-based reward track that is almost entirely free to complete. Only one objective requires a paid pack, and it is safe to skip since it does not provide extra Halloween Candies.
Rewards here are mostly cosmetic or situational and do not affect event progression.
Masquerade Feature
This minor cosmetic activity lets you place a pumpkin on another player’s castle. A Witch Cloak can be used to place a protective shield that prevents others from tagging you. It is purely visual and does not provide gameplay advantages, so consider it optional entertainment.
