Sunset Canyon

A 1v1 duel ladder with equalised Tier-3 troops — only commander level, talents, skills and gear apply. Runes, city skins and attack buffs are stripped out: a pure test of commanders and pairings.

All events & guides

Rules & routine

  • Five free attempts/day; extra attempts cost Challenge Tickets. Seasons reset Sunday 00:00 UTC; you get rewards win or lose.
  • Aim for five dispatched marches (needs City Hall 22). Run late (≈23:55 UTC, ~23:50 Sunday) so opponents can’t knock you down before reset.
  • Level beats rarity early — a level-60 Epic outperforms a level-20 Legendary. Expertise Sun Tzu and Joan of Arc first, then Boudica.

Positioning

  • Tanks in front (Richard is the premier tank), nukers behind. Position your counters directly opposite the enemy (e.g. Saladin across from Richard).
  • Avoid cavalry here — they’re countered by Richard/Martel/Sun Tzu.
  • When a commander levels, extra troop capacity is NOT auto-added to your defence — re-set your Sunset-Canyon defence periodically.
