Kingshot Swordland Summit League Guide: Tiers, Brackets and Rewards
Swordland Summit League is Kingshot’s six-week seasonal alliance PvP tournament. Alliance leaders and R4s should read on to decide whether to register, plan a 50-member Legion, understand the brackets and judge what Season 1 is worth.
How the Six-Week League Works
The season has two phases. The Qualifier runs through weeks 1 to 4, followed by the Championship in weeks 5 and 6. Season 1 runs across July and August 2026 and ends in late August.
Qualifiers sort each tier into four separate knockout brackets. Winning a bracket opens the path to the Championship, but losing does not remove a Legion from the season. Knocked-out Legions move into the Points Battle and keep earning League Points for placement and rewards.
This format gives leaders two goals. Build a Legion that can win its group, then keep the roster active even if that first route closes. A single defeat changes where the Legion plays, not whether its season continues.
Registration and Legion Size
Any alliance can register, and each alliance may register up to 2 Legions. One Legion contains 50 members: 30 main combatants and 20 substitutes.
Substitutes are not left out of the payout. All 50 registered members collect event rewards, including the 20 substitutes. When choosing the roster, treat every substitute place as a reward place as well as support for the 30 main combatants.
- Choose whether the alliance will register 1 or 2 Legions.
- Prepare 30 main combatants and 20 substitutes for each Legion.
- Plan for a six-week season and one-hour matches.
Registering 2 Legions creates another tournament entry, but it also means another full Legion to organize. If the alliance is deciding between one focused entry and two entries, start with the fixed roster size and the time officers can give across all six weeks.
How the Three Tiers Are Decided
Each Legion enters Royal, Master or Diamond Tier according to its Squad Power rank inside the zone. A zone holds up to 192 Legions, with 64 places in each tier.
| Tier | Squad Power rank | Legions |
|---|---|---|
| Royal Tier | 1 to 64 | 64 |
| Master Tier | 65 to 128 | 64 |
| Diamond Tier | 129 to 192 | 64 |
The rank bands set the starting field. Ranks 1 to 64 enter Royal, 65 to 128 enter Master and 129 to 192 enter Diamond. The bracket size stays the same in every tier, so each Legion begins among no more than 64 tier opponents.
Leaders should check the Legion’s Squad Power rank when setting expectations. A Legion near a tier line still follows the exact rank range above. Its tier is not chosen by the alliance.
How Qualifier Groups and Rounds Run
The 64 Legions in each tier split into four groups: A, B, C and D. Each group contains 16 Legions and runs its own knockout bracket over four rounds. Every match lasts one hour.
A win is worth 4 points, while a loss is worth 2 points. The two-point gap makes wins more valuable, but a loss still adds points. That matters because League Points continue to shape final placement and rewards after a Legion leaves its original bracket.
Each group produces one winner, creating four Championship entries from each tier. To claim one of those entries, a Legion must remain in its group bracket through all four rounds. Everyone else moves to the Points Battle after being knocked out.

What the Points Battle Means After a Loss
The knockout bracket decides the group winner, but it does not end the event for everyone else. When a Legion loses, it drops into the Points Battle and faces other Legions that have also been knocked out.
Those matches let the Legion keep earning League Points toward its final placement and rewards. Leaders should therefore plan beyond the first defeat. The route to the Championship may be closed, but the remaining matches still affect what the Legion earns from the season.
A loss itself is worth 2 points, so even the match that removes a Legion from its group bracket contributes to its total. Keeping main combatants and substitutes ready for the rest of the event protects the value of the six-week commitment.
How the Championship Crowns a Champion
The winner of each Qualifier group advances, leaving four Legions in the Championship field. Those four are split according to total net win points. The top two enter the Mythic Group, while the other two enter the Elite Group.
The season title is then decided when a Mythic Group finalist meets the top Elite Group Legion. Reaching that stage first requires winning one of the four Qualifier groups, then the total net win points determine the Mythic and Elite split.
This gives officers a clear way to read the tournament. Group letters define the first knockout path, League Points continue after a loss, and total net win points sort the four group winners for the Championship.
What the Swordland Summit League Rewards Are Worth
At the top of the Royal Tier, rewards include up to 100,000 Gems, 100 Truegold, the Swordholder March Skin and the Passing of the Sword decoration. The words “up to” matter: these figures describe the top of the Royal Tier, not a guaranteed reward for entering.
The wider value comes from the 50-member reward roster. All 30 main combatants and all 20 substitutes collect event rewards, so a complete Legion spreads the result beyond the players taking the main combatant places.
Before the League, members can also claim free Gems from active Kingshot gift codes to help their Legion prepare.
For a leader weighing registration, compare that reward reach with the work involved: a 50-member Legion, one-hour matches and six weeks of play, including the Points Battle after a knockout loss. The top Royal Tier ceiling is large, but the season still offers placement and rewards to Legions that leave the main bracket.
