Swordland Summit League is Kingshot’s Legion tournament for a whole Zone: four weeks of Qualifiers, then two weeks of Championship. Season 1 ran in July and August 2026, and Season 2 had no announced dates as of October 30, 2026. Alliance leaders and R4s can use this page to decide whether to register, plan a 50-member Legion, read the brackets and judge the rewards.
Any alliance can register up to 2 Legions of 30 Combatants and 20 Substitutes. The server places each Legion in the Royal, Master or Diamond Tier by Squad Power rank. Each tier runs four 16-Legion knockout groups, and the four group winners play the Championship.

Has Swordland Summit League Season 2 Started?
Not yet, as far as we can find on October 30, 2026. Kingshot’s Help Center says the League “does not open on a fixed weekly schedule” and points players to event announcements for dates.
When the next season opens, the Preview Phase gives you a week’s warning: it runs on the Friday and Saturday one week before the event starts. We list new event dates on the Kingshot event calendar. The rules below are the Season 1 rules from the Help Center, and Century Games may change them for Season 2.
How the Six-Week League Works
About a week of preview and sign-up comes first, then six weeks of matches, then a display week. Part 1 holds the four Qualifier rounds, and Part 2 holds the three Championship rounds.
| Phase | When | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| Preview | Friday and Saturday, one week before the event | Advance notice; each Zone holds up to 192 Legions |
| Voting | Sunday and Monday | Members vote on battle time slots |
| Sign-Up | Tuesday to Thursday | Leaders and R4s register Legions and rosters |
| Matchmaking | Friday | Rosters and Power lock, groups are drawn |
| Part 1 | Saturday of Week 1 to Sunday of Week 4 | 4 Qualifier rounds, Points Battle rounds 1 to 3 |
| Part 2 | Monday of Week 5 to Sunday of Week 6 | 3 Championship rounds, Points Battle rounds 4 and 5 |
| Display | Monday to Sunday of Week 7 | Display Phase |
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 Alliance Leaders and R4s can register up to 2 Legions. Each Legion takes up to 30 Combatants and 20 Substitutes. Substitutes can enter the battlefield 3 minutes after a battle begins.
- Every Governor on the roster needs Town Center Lv. 16 or higher and must not have been offline for more than 5 days before being assigned.
- Legion 2 unlocks only if the alliance is Lv. 6 or higher and its members reach 40 total logins in the first week after the event opens.
- Pick 3 of the 5 battle time slots: 02:00, 07:00, 12:00, 14:00 and 19:00 UTC. The server sets each start time from both sides’ picks.
- Rosters and time slots lock when Sign-Up ends and cannot change for the rest of the League.
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
The server ranks registered Legions by pre-event Legion Squad Power, and the number of Legions in the Zone decides which tiers open. A Zone needs at least 16 Legions to hold the League at all.
| Legions registered in the Zone | Royal Tier | Master Tier | Diamond Tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| 16 to 127 | Ranks 1 to 64 | Not held | Not held |
| 128 to 191 | Ranks 1 to 64 | Ranks 65 to 128 | Not held |
| 192 | Ranks 1 to 64 | Ranks 65 to 128 | Ranks 129 to 192 |
Leaders should check the Legion’s Squad Power rank when setting expectations. Its tier is not chosen by the alliance. Inside a tier, opponents come from Matchmaking Points, not from the next Legion in the ranking. Those points use the Squad Power of some of the top 20 Governors on the roster.
How Qualifier Groups and Rounds Run
The 64 Legions in each tier split into four groups of 16, and each group runs its own knockout bracket over four rounds. The Legion with more Alliance Relic Points at the end of a battle wins. Kingshotguide.org lists one-hour battles, and both it and kingshotmastery.com give 4 League Points for a win and 2 for a loss.
Each group produces one winner, creating four Championship entries from each tier. To claim one of those entries, a Legion must win all four rounds. Everyone else moves to the Points Battle after being knocked out.

What the Points Battle Means After a Loss
A Legion that loses in the Qualifier drops into the Points Battle. There it faces other knocked-out Legions. The Points Battle has 5 rounds: the Sundays of Weeks 2 to 5, then the Friday of Week 6.
Those matches let the Legion keep earning League Points toward its final placement and rewards. Leaders should therefore plan beyond the first defeat. Keeping 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 four group winners play 3 Championship rounds from Monday of Week 5 to Sunday of Week 6. Two start in the Mythic Group and two in the Elite Group.
- A Mythic Group Legion stays in the Mythic Group after a win and moves to the Elite Group after a loss.
- An Elite Group Legion stays in the Elite Group after a win and is eliminated after a loss.
- The top Mythic Group Legion and the top Elite Group Legion play for the League title.
The champion, runner-up and third-place Legions are recorded in the Zone’s Hall of Honor.
What the Swordland Summit League Rewards Are Worth
The top Royal Tier rewards reach up to 100,000 Gems, according to kingshotguide.org and kingshotmastery.com. The words “up to” matter: that figure is for the top of the Royal Tier, not a reward for entering.
The champion’s alliance also earns the Royal Heart, and the top 4 alliances earn Champion’s Will. Both are Alliance Prestige Buildings. They stay with the alliance permanently, management places them by hand, and they are lost if the alliance disbands. The Alliance HQ skin, banner skin and banner from League rewards can each be claimed once.
The wider value comes from the roster. Kingshotguide.org says all 50 registered members collect event rewards, Substitutes included. Season Alliance Ranking Rewards go to every member who is in the alliance at 24:00 UTC on the day the Finals end. Members who leave should be back by then.
Before the League, members can also claim free Gems from active Kingshot gift codes to help their Legion prepare. A farm account keeps a main city supplied between matches, and our guide to running multiple Kingshot accounts shows how to set one up.
How Is It Different From Swordland Showdown?
The battle is the same, with the same combat type, format and buffs. The Summit League is a multi-alliance tournament across a Zone, while Swordland Showdown still opens every 14 days.
The two events share your alliance’s Legion slots. A Legion in this week’s League cannot join this week’s Showdown, and League results do not change your Showdown Tier.
