Legendary Season: What to Do in Your First Days
2026-09-30
Entering Legendary Season introduces several new progression systems at once. Building levels extend beyond Level 55, stronger equipment becomes available, new technologies open in the Academy and your Immortals require additional materials for Mythic advancement. Your first few days should therefore be spent establishing the systems that will continue producing value throughout the season. The most important priorities are farming the opening Rebel Double Rewards event, maintaining constant Azure Crystal production and reaching Academy Level 56 as quickly as possible.

💠Prepare Before Legendary Season Begins
If you are reading this before entering Legendary Season, begin saving AP and SP now. A large reserve allows you to take full advantage of the opening events and immediately begin farming the materials needed for Legendary progression.
You will use far more Enchantment Stones, experience and equipment materials than before. Arriving with a healthy supply of potions lets you farm heavily without immediately becoming limited by daily recovery.
💠Farm the Rebel Double Rewards Event
One of the first things you should look for after entering Legendary Season is a Rebel Double Rewards event. If one is active, use it.
Legendary progression requires an enormous amount of additional farming. Your Immortals need more experience, your existing equipment still needs Enchantment Stones and later Mythic upgrades introduce the new Advanced Enchantment Stones. You will also need to collect and develop the stronger equipment that becomes available in Legendary Season.

The double-reward event is therefore an excellent opportunity to turn your saved AP into:
- Immortal experience
- Enchantment Stones
- Advanced Enchantment Stones
- New equipment
- Equipment development materials
Progressing into higher-level Gnomes and Gnome Bosses also improves the experience and loot earned from your AP. However, efficiency is not only about attacking the highest level available. If every fight causes severe losses, you will quickly convert your AP reserve into wounded troops and healing costs.
Push upwards when your marches can farm reliably, but do not destroy your army for a marginal increase in rewards. Consistent farming is more valuable than forcing a level your account cannot yet clear efficiently.
💠Keep Azure Crystal Production Running
Azure Crystals are one of the central progression materials introduced for Legendary building upgrades. You will need a very large number of them, which makes production uptime more important than trying to recover from a shortage later.
Azure Crystals can be queued in batches of up to 999, with a full batch taking approximately ten hours. You do not need to wait for the entire batch to finish before collecting it. Completed Crystals can be collected while the remaining production is still underway.

The most practical routine is:
- Queue the maximum batch of 999 Azure Crystals.
- Collect completed Crystals whenever you log in.
- Before going to bed, collect what has finished, stop the current production and immediately begin a fresh batch of 999.
- Repeat the process before leaving for work and again when you return home.
The point is not to wait for every batch to finish perfectly. The goal is to ensure that the Forge always has enough queued production to continue running while you are offline. With a morning, afternoon and evening routine, you can keep Azure Crystal production running close to 24 hours per day.
Do not neglect this during the opening days because you are busy farming or fighting. Building upgrades consume a tremendous number of Azure Crystals, and lost production time cannot easily be recovered.
💠Upgrade the Castle, Then the Academy
The natural temptation is to rush directly towards the Barracks and unlock the next troop tier. That should not be your first priority.
Begin by progressing the Castle, then push the Academy to Level 56 as quickly as your requirements allow. Use speedups where necessary, even if you cannot immediately begin the next building upgrade afterwards.
Temporary downtime in your building queue is not the real problem. Falling behind on Legendary technology is.


Reaching Academy Level 56 opens the first new Legendary technology nodes and allows your research queue to begin working while you continue upgrading the rest of your city. Research takes time, so every day spent without access to those technologies delays your long-term Immortal and troop progression.
Your initial route should therefore be:
Castle progression → Academy Level 56 → Legendary research → Barracks and troop-tier requirements

After reaching Academy Level 56, continue raising the Academy whenever necessary to keep useful troop and Immortal technologies available. From there, you can work through the buildings required for higher Barracks levels and the next troop tier without leaving your research queue behind.
💠Building Requirements for Legendary Troops
The building path shown above is important because Barracks cannot simply be upgraded in isolation. Each level is tied to Castle progression and supporting-building requirements, meaning that Azure Crystals spent on the wrong buildings can delay your next meaningful unlock.
Use the requirement chart to work backwards from your next Barracks level. Identify every prerequisite in advance and avoid spending your first Azure Crystals on optional buildings that do not advance either the Academy or your troop-tier route.
The Academy should remain ahead far enough to provide new research, while the remaining building progress should gradually move towards the Barracks requirements. This keeps both major progression timers working simultaneously: research continues in the Academy while your builders prepare the route towards stronger troops.
💠First-Days Checklist
During your opening days in Legendary Season, focus on the following:
- Spend saved AP during the Rebel Double Rewards event.
- Farm experience, equipment and both normal and Advanced Enchantment Stones.
- Increase Gnome and Gnome Boss levels when your marches can do so efficiently.
- Avoid excessive troop losses that interrupt farming.
- Maintain close to 100% Azure Crystal production uptime.
- Progress the Castle first.
- Reach Academy Level 56 before rushing directly towards higher troop tiers.
- Keep new Legendary troop and Immortal technologies available for research.
- Plan later building upgrades around the exact Barracks requirements.
💠Summary
A strong start in Legendary Season is less about unlocking the next troop tier immediately and more about establishing continuous progression.
Farm the opening double-reward event while your saved AP and SP provide the greatest return, keep Azure Crystal production running around the clock and prioritise Castle and Academy progression until Legendary research is underway. Once your Academy is working through the new technologies, you can begin completing the building chain towards stronger Barracks and the next troop tier.
Players who establish these routines during the first few days will avoid the most common Legendary Season bottlenecks later.
