Call of Dragons Tutorial: Rallies, Alliance Play and Monster Hunting

Call of Dragons shines when players work together. Rallies, shared defenses, and group monster hunts offer rewards that solo players cannot reach. This tutorial explains how these systems work and how to contribute well.

What is a rally?

A rally is a coordinated attack where a leader starts a gathering and other alliance members send their marches to join. The combined force attacks the target together. Rallies are used against strong monsters, enemy cities, and other objectives that no single march can defeat alone.

Joining a rally

1. Open the alliance interface and look for active rallies.
2. Select the one you want to join.
3. Choose a march with a hero and troops suited for the task.
4. Confirm and send it. Make sure it can arrive before the rally launches.

Pay attention to the timer. A march that arrives too late is wasted, and you may need to recall it.

Leading a rally

The leader’s hero contributes the main skills for the attack, so leaders usually use their strongest heroes. If you start rallies:

• Choose a target your alliance can handle.
• Announce it in chat so members know to join.
• Give enough time for members to arrive.
• Use a hero whose skills work well against the target type.

Monster hunting basics

Monsters give experience, items, and sometimes materials for upgrading. Types and difficulty vary, but the approach is the same:

Step	Advice
Scout	Check the monster’s level and strength before attacking
Choose a march	Use a hero with strong damage skills
Mind your troops	Bring enough for the fight but not so many that you suffer huge losses
Repeat	Hunt steadily rather than in rare bursts

Hunting at a level slightly below your limit usually gives the best efficiency, because you can repeat it without major healing costs.

Behemoths and large targets

Powerful creatures, often called Behemoths, appear as major objectives and generally require alliance cooperation. To prepare:

• Learn when they appear and when the alliance plans to hit them.
• Have your marches ready with healthy troops.
• Use your best monster-hunting hero.
• Keep your hospital capacity free, so wounded troops can be treated.

The details of rewards and mechanics may change as the game updates, so read the in-game descriptions before each event.

Alliance help and contributions

Being a good ally is simple:

1. Tap the help button on requests. It costs you nothing and shortens timers.
2. Contribute to alliance technologies, which provide bonuses to every member.
3. Participate in alliance events and rallies.
4. Stay in communication. Even a short message helps coordination.

Territory and cooperation

Alliances often claim territory and build structures. Joining in this effort provides shared bonuses and access to other benefits. Follow leadership instructions when it comes to timing, as simultaneous actions can be critical.

Protecting yourself

• Do not leave your city exposed. Use shields or protections if you are away.
• Keep troops in good health. Heal promptly after fights.
• Avoid wandering marches near hostile players. Gatherers can be ambushed.
• Coordinate with allies to defend one another when attacked.

Efficient routines

For a quick session:

1. Help alliance members.
2. Join an active rally if one is open.
3. Send a monster-hunting march.
4. Check alliance chat and events.
5. Restart your build and research queues.

For a longer session, add more hunts, contribute to alliance goals, and prepare for upcoming events.

Common mistakes

• Joining rallies with a weak march that adds nothing.
• Sending troops that arrive after the rally leaves.
• Being absent from alliance chat.
• Hunting monsters far above your strength and suffering heavy losses.
• Forgetting to heal wounded troops before the next event.

Conclusion

Cooperation is the heart of Call of Dragons. Learn how rallies work, hunt monsters sensibly, and contribute regularly to your alliance. The rewards, and the fun, grow with every well-timed group effort.
