Quick Summary

I get asked this a lot in Kingshot's Discord—what's the right way to upgrade Governor Gear and what the priority should be. So I figured I'd put together a quick guide.

The general rule of thumb is: Infantry Archer Cavalry . Infantry should always be your top priority.

Keep Your Gear Balanced to Avoid Weak Spots

That said, it is recommended to keep your Governor Gear even across all troop types. So while Infantry come first in terms of priority, don't just max them and ignore the rest. For example, if you level up Infantry Governor Gear to Epic, make sure to bring Archers and then Cavalry up to Epic too before pushing Infantry to the next tier. Keeping everything balanced helps prevent your Town from having weak spots that enemies can exploit.
