Honestly, this event might be awesome and itâs always a pain in the neck.
505 left attacks.
What are we supposed to do if the allies simply subscribe and donât attack?
We can not even have the satisfaction to kick them out like we do in normal wars.
These people should be banned or penalised in future wars, they just ruin 2 days of event.

100% this. There are 3 kingdoms and also 3 types of players:
I propose that the game keeps tab and puts people in kingdoms that match their playstyle/desires, this also makes it easier for those whom use all flags, to win/get better loot as they will be matched against weaker/dumber playstyles, improving a core aspect of the game (making it less random).
To keep the tendencies from last wars:
Almost get rank 1st. I only need 4 more point 
. My warband use 5 more flag but still lose by 136 point. It is a certain lose .
I am appalled at the left flags on the field. Why even bother and put the effort into it if we continue to have slackers sign up. Ban those people from the next W3K.
If youâre one of those slackers, have the day you deserve!
Got a dam blade which makes the loot decent this time
Got frustrated with the loot and bought some day 4 offers, for 12 pulls.
First time since a very, very long time.
Netted me Zughe Liang (not sure about him, the few times I faced him he was bad and canât see him being much better on offense) and Diaochan (havenât seen her much, but she reads like a great Ofense hero, and the Easter sheep being my only fast healer thatâs great).
I think I will still not start spending again big style, but that was a really nice surprise.
Not even worth one summon! NOT EVEN ONE SUMMON! 
Being first in the list⌠gives half a summon, and because the rest of team is not willing to spend flags (canât influence those 500+ non spent flags) I get 
Thanks for this amazing event!
This, pretty much; if you have this deep of a roster, you get one, maybe two Dawas regardless, if you donât, then itâs the allegedly âplaceholderâ loot for you (plus maybe if youâre lucky, a smattering of emblems and the chance that, if youâre masochistic enough, you might get a Dawa after grinding through this nonsense three or four more times).
This event really does feel like a mess wrapped around a paywall portal, and the chaos of the no-teamwork, flag-dribbling event itself and what passes for a reward structure are not an incentive for people to take part in the event.
In terms of the âOH NOES PPL NOT USING FLAGSâ issue, maybe have an add-on reward of minimum 10 coins per flag used, so even schmuck peons who actually try at this event can win at least the reward of the momentary glimmer of soon-to-be-crushed hope.
The results were not that bad: we won the war, and I managed to win majority of fights. Got 115 emblems and ~170 coins for my effort, which is ok.
However I am happier with pulls. Until today did ~40 pulls with only blue 4* being new. But todayâs 20 pulls:
No Diaochan but still good, as with Lu Bu I can attain maximum family bonus.
You are at good warband that make good rank, that give you 150 coins.
Getting into a good warband that will rank within 500 (maybe 1000) is all that matters. Otherwise no way for you to earn enough coins for even one pull.
My warband is ranked 1076 and guess how many coins I get from there? 3. What a joke.
This event is just terribly designed and a total waste of time for a lot of players. No wonder ppl donât bother to use their flags (although I think this is not fair for their teammates).
I will check it out once more next time it comes back. If the loots are still the same old crap, thatâs it for me. Wonât waste my time on this event any further.
A few observations of the War of 3 Kingdoms -
The best rewards go to those players in the top 100 warbands irrespective of performance or participation. This makes some sense, these are the players who have invested the most in the game, competing against similar players. However, when top warband players can perform poorly and miss flags, yet still garner more rewards that someone in a lower warband who performs exceptionally and participates fully, this feels unfair and discouraging to many.
For a player with a roster of about 70 developed epic and legendary heroes this was a fun event - planning 12 war teams and strategising over optimal targets and whether to risk oneshots or play it safe with clean ups for weaker war teams was interesting and challenging.
For lower players who barely have 6 developed war teams this event is a miserable experience. With 12 war flags to try and use against opponents strongest single teams the optimal strategy is to spend the entire duration of the event sniffing around for cheap cleanups. This disincentives teamwork and collaboration, in stark contrast to Alliance Wars which many find the most enjoyable aspect of the game precisely because it promotes teamwork and collaboration.
In summary, the War of 3 Kingdoms event and reward structure is broken at the moment: 12 war flags is not appropriate for all players, perhaps have bronze/silver/gold tiers like raids with 6/9/12 war flags to make the event more palatable for more of the player base and discourage hoarding of war flags for clean ups.
The rewards need reworking to encourage participation and teamwork whilst recognising and rewarding individual skill and performance.
Correct me if i am wrong.
Did the Portal not introduce the other 2 New Heroes?
Are they being lazy or forgetful or too busy?
What a great day! Anyone that knows me, knows what Iâve been through in this portal. Diaochan was the first hero I ever really chased. Did 350 pulls and didnât get her. Next portal, a bit over 200 pulls and nothing. Well, I finally got her. I think it took about 70 pulls. Got Lui BeI and a dupe guan yu, then Diaochan hit. I canât tell you how good that felt after trying so hard. Anyway, good luck in the war and in your summons!
@Kenzo now what do I do? Lol my purples are just overflowing! She shouldnât take front row but man itâs tempting.
@Ugk26 congrats man!! Iâm totally jealous haha. Do you have all the W3K 5* now? Who is ahead of Diaochan in the queue? Not sure if I told you I pulled her on my alt but Iâm ascending her next after G. Panther, I donât care that I have too many 5* healers already lol. I get FOMO on heroes I havenât got on my main and always ascend them even if I donât need them (i.e. Director Zuri, Prof. Lidenbrock, Aino, and soon Diaochan). Anyway enjoy your fancy new toy, and in only 70 pulls thatâs a steal
How does the morale boost work again? And is it worth trying to use diaochan and lu bu in my defense somehow? I am assuming the war band will prioritise purple tanks, so maybe diaochan at tank and lu bu on the right wing??
@Kenzo Yes, I have them all now. I have moved away from slow heroes at the moment because I have almost no fast/VF heroes at all. Because the buff has made it really tempting to level them. The 10% mana for a minion being summoned, thatâs strong.
As for the purples, I need a purple dispeller that was fast right. Then decided on Louhi even though heâs avg because dispelling all first was just so strong. I have troops to speed him up anyway. But now, I have Diaochan. Not the same of course, but she fills the need.
No new heroes in W3K portal this round. Maybe Zynga made enough from Kale for June n July to hold back on new hero releases.
