Spawn Condition of Royal Thief
As you progress through the activities in the tavern during the Royal Thief Event, a Royal Thief will be generated at random times and an ambassador will visit you in front of the city walls.
When you press that ambassador, 3 Royal Thieves will appear on the screen.
Strength of Royal Thief
You can’t see the power of the Royal Thieves, so you won’t know how strong they are until you defeat the Royal Thieves.
(With the 12/21/2020 update (ver. 3.86.4), power is now displayed when attacking a Thief on the map.)
Power is 13.6M; there are 3 thieves (Nell, Nightingale, and Duke), all of them of equal power.
Roughly speaking, it is a little stronger than Boss Lv. 9 Minotaur (9.9M). If you can defeat the minotaur, you can probably defeat the Thief.
How to kill all 3 of them
You can only defeat one of them by yourself, and if you want to defeat all three of them, you must ask your alliance members to help you defeat the rest. On the other hand, you can have an alliance member defeat all three of them without defeating one by yourself.
Press the ambassador that appears in front of the city wall to display a screen where you can make a request. If you don’t make a request from this screen, alliance members can’t attack the thieves. When you make a request, an email will be sent to that member, allowing them to attack. A request can be made to up to five members of the alliance.
Troop Formation needed to defeat the Royal Thieves
- If you don’t mind having wounded troops, you can defeat them with 60,000 tier 10 cavalry. However, your generals, equipment, research, and monarch gear must be sufficiently enhanced. Specific examples are discussed below.
- If you want to reduce the number of wounded troops to zero, a minimum of 200,000 cavalry of tier 10 is the rule of thumb.
- Cavalry only. Ground troops, Ranged troops, and Siege machines are not required. Mixing different types of troops increases wounding.
- Only troops of the same tier are allowed. Mixing different tiers increases wounding.
- It doesn’t matter if the winning odds are warned as “extremely low”. There is a high probability of wounded troops, but they can be defeated.
- “Power” has nothing to do with winning or losing. You can’t win if you unnecessarily increase your power value. For example, the following will increase the power of your troops when attacking, but will not allow you to win.
– Putting high-grade equipment with no cavalry buff on the general, even though his troops are mainly cavalry.
– Attack with a subordinate city with only weak troops.
– Attacks by attaching a subordinate city with few troops, but with a mayor.

In monster warfare, what is going on internally and how? Once we know that, we know what to watch out for. I have conducted many tests and analyzed the mechanics of combat.

What happens if the RT’s are just ignored? Many times I will be out, far away from the hive and thieves will appear. Most players won’t want to make the long distance march to kill them if invited.
If no one defeats that thief, it will just disappear after the time limit. You cannot start over.
Once invited to kill royal thief is there any other steps needed on my end?
Hi, I killed it with 0 wounded. 264k T10 and the General was Yue Fie. General skills include level 3 mounted troops attack and HP. Monarch gear includes mounted troops attack, defense, and HP on all 5 levels. Monarch’s talent was mortality. Mounted troop’s research attack and defense maximum and HP 17.
Really great article 😃 . I found a glitch that actually lets you kill all 3 thieves or kill all 3 of someone else’s thieves even if you weren’t invited! Just make a camp with your troops, click the camp, and click attack. Click any RT, even if you weren’t invited to kill it, and it will let you attack it. You’ll have to make separate camps for each RT though, troops go back to your city after attacking.
I tried this and keep getting defeated can you advise?
Can you invite someone outside your alliance
No, you cannot. Only members of the alliance can be invited.
How do you have one member of your alliance kill all three of the thieves? I am in a small alliance and only two people have the power to take on royal thieves. I want to be able to get one of them the ability to take on two or all three of them.
cannot do it – — must have 3 different players hitting the Thief
135000 T9 cavalry led by Theodora lv 25, with recommended skills and King’s set can kill thieves with about 1000 wounded. Don’t bring subordinates to a fight (they seem to make it worse).
You’ve reached 145 in the daily activity, but sometimes no thief appears.
I’ve tried everything, and it seems that if you reach 145 with less than two hours to go before the daily reset and a thief appears, the thief won’t appear the next day.
I’ve often achieved 145 right before the reset, but I’ve only been able to get a thief about once every two days, so I was wondering why.
There may be some other conditions, but it seems that two hours before the reset is mandatory.
I’m on an small alliance, someone did it at keep 24, on year 2021 with: T9 horses 143,000 and t9 archers 67,000 and a general (barbados) of 1M of power and also the power of the subs cities. Wounded around 1800 but under 2k. Not ideal, but if you need the last thief to go to get the chest, it can be done.
This thread is probably too old but I don’t understand how I can have the same wounded using 214k T10 cavs with Barbs 5 star with no gear on at all or adding General’s Spear 17.5% mounted and Fearless Kings Ring refined to a 12.2% mounted attack and 9% mounted attack? Barbs also has level 4 mounted troop attack skill, and level 2 mounted troop attack against monster. The only thing I can think of is all these don’t stack but everything people say in these guides and YouTube videos say they do all stack. I get 388 wounded whether I have any gear on or not. It doesn’t make sense so if someone knows why, please post.
Increasing the attack does not necessarily reduce the number of wounds.
This is because the number of wounds will not decrease unless the number of TURNS (ROUNDS) decreases.

l am still confused about the difference between my mornach’s power and my troops power. Please help explain why there is a vast difference in them n why they differ in the 1st place
The monarch power is the sum of all the power from all the troops you have, as well as power from traps, research, and construction etc.
The power of the troops is the power of only the troops you sent out and your leading general (and subordinate cities if you bring them into the battle).
So, roughly speaking, you can think of it as follows.
– Monarch power is power in Defense
– Troop power is power in Attack
The most important thing is research I have tried killing thieves with t8 148k with Sanada general skills are mounted troop hp against monster lv4 mounted troop defence against monster lv4 and mounted troop attack lv4. The wounded is around 4.5k with Elite gears. If you have better gears you can get around 1800 wounded. Don’t forget refining them with mounted buff is also important if you want to take down any bosses.
HELLO, THANKS FOR SHARING ALL THOSE INFORMATIONS, I HAVE PROBLEM WITH ROYAL THIEVES I CAN WIN THE BATTLE WITH 120K T9, I GOT 6K WOUNDED, I HAVE GENERAL 5STARS LEV22 , FORCE ABOUT 700K
Is there a requirement for thieves to appear?
You need to complete more activities.
How can I kill thief using t10 without wounded?
Yes could be possible. Li Jing with all king equipment and more than 250k T100
What is the condition to make my Royal Thief appear?
Is there anything to lose by ignoring this event?
You can’t get reward chests, so that’s your loss.
Please refer to the following article for the contents of the chest.

Can one of the five invited alliance members take down three thieves by himself?
Unfortunately, it can’ t be done.
If I confused to invite one player but I want to change then what should I do?
Unfortunately, you can’t change it.😭
It is helpful. Thank you very much.
Great research. I take my hat off to you.
I look forward to your continued success!
Thanks!🤗
