These times are kingdom #217’s. Every event below fires on this server at the times shown; another kingdom has its own anchors and its own schedule. What does hold everywhere is the mechanics — how an event scores, what it drops, how to prepare. Check the evidence badge on each section before relying on a time.
Demon King Blight
Three separate Demon Kings rotate through the week, one faction each. Which heroes you send matters more than how many.

The 30-second version
A world-map boss on a faction rotation. Ten solo attacks per day, no rallies. Daily ranking is by your single biggest hit, not your total.
If you do nothing else
- Send the countering faction for +50% damage. Warlock heroes beat the Ranger Blight, Warrior beats Warlock, Ranger beats Warrior.
- Spend all ten attacks even on a bad lineup — personal rewards trigger at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 regardless of damage.
- Because ranking uses one hit, a single well-built squad beats ten mediocre swings.
The rotation and the faction counter 6 points · 1 table
Sourcing is mixed per row — marked individually below.
| Blight | Days | Send these heroes | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ranger Blight | Tuesday & Friday | Warlock heroes, +50% damage | In-game rules panel |
| Warlock Blight | Monday & Thursday | Warrior heroes, +50% damage | Community guide |
| Warrior Blight | Wednesday & Saturday (by elimination) | Ranger heroes, +50% damage | Faction rule confirmed by 4 sources; days still inferred |
| Sunday | All three appear on the same day and are finally vanquished for the week. Rewards are collected after the vanquish. | ||
Why the counter table is trustworthy. The three pairings form a closed triangle and each edge comes from a different source. The Ranger Blight panel states Warlock heroes deal extra damage. The Warlock Blight guide states Warrior heroes do. And the game’s own quiz answer key, already on this page, answers “Which faction counters the Warrior?” with “Ranger” and lists Demon King Blight as a place faction restraint applies. Three independent statements, no contradictions, and together they close the loop: Ranger → Warrior → Warlock → Ranger. Only the Wednesday/Saturday day assignment is inference.
A fourth independent source (a player-written Demon King team tier list) states the same three edges directly — including the Warrior Blight → Ranger-heroes edge that was previously inference by elimination only. It also frames the counter defensively rather than offensively: alongside the +50% attacker bonus already in the table, the counter-side faction also takes 20% less damage from the faction it counters (e.g. Warriors take 20% less damage from Warlocks). Not yet re-confirmed from an in-game panel, but consistent with everything else on this page.
Rules
- Sanctuary Lv.8 or above to deploy troops against it.
- 10 attacks per player per day. Rally attacks are not supported — you go alone.
- Daily ranking is by highest single-attack damage, not cumulative. One big hit beats ten small ones.
- Personal rewards unlock at 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 attacks — so it is always worth spending all ten even on a bad lineup.
- Achievement rewards unlock gradually on server time at 320M, 640M, 1.6B, 3.2B and 6.4B damage in a single attack, each claimable once per player.
- The event screen shows a server-versus-server damage bar (observed: #217 on 135B against #222 on 130B), so total server damage is tracked as well as individual.
Spawn hour still unknown. A countdown of 05:19:50 was observed at 18:30 server time, putting the despawn at roughly 23:50 server — consistent with the Blight lasting until the 00:00 daily reset, and an earlier reading of 11:53:32 fits the same pattern. That is inference from two countdowns, not a confirmed schedule, and it gives the end rather than the start. A screenshot taken shortly after a Blight appears would settle it.
Team tier list by rarity 4 tables
Tested at 8★+; results depend on gear, troop tier, hero level and skill levels too, not rarity alone.
| Rarity | Tier |
|---|---|
| UR | S+ or S |
| SSR | A or B |
| SR | C |
Team compositions
Two variants per Blight at UR and SSR; one shared F2P team at SR for all three Blights. Where a slot lists names joined by OR, those are interchangeable options for that slot.
| Fighting | Variant | Team (UR) |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior Blight | 1 | Bell, Harper OR Ash, Marlena, Red Lady, Cynthia |
| 2 | Arthur, Claire, Marlena, Red Lady OR Cynthia, Harper | |
| Ranger Blight | 1 | Annie, Nicole OR Claire, Cynthia, Red Lady, Bell |
| 2 | Bell, Harper, Marlena, Cynthia, Zoya OR Red Lady | |
| Warlock Blight | 1 | Bell OR Arthur, Claire, Marlena, Zoya, Harper |
| 2 | Arthur, Claire, Marlena, Cynthia OR Red Lady, Harper |
| Fighting | Variant | Team (SSR) |
|---|---|---|
| Warrior Blight | 1 | Arthur, Shadow OR Claire, Marlena, Cynthia, Harper |
| 2 | Arthur, Shadow, Marlena, Cynthia, Harper | |
| Ranger Blight | 1 | Arthur, Ulfrid OR Joker, Marlena, Annie, Harper OR Cynthia OR Claire |
| 2 | Arthur, Claire, Marlena, Annie, Harper | |
| Warlock Blight | 1 | Arthur, Daskal, Marlena, Claire, Harper |
| 2 | Arthur, Lucius OR Bella, Marlena, Claire, Harper |
The two Warrior Blight SSR rows are nearly identical (only the second slot differs: Shadow OR Claire vs. Shadow alone) — reproduced as given rather than merged, since it isn't clear from the source whether this is intentional (e.g. a fallback when Shadow isn't available) or a listing slip.
| Fighting | Team (SR, F2P) |
|---|---|
| Warrior, Ranger and Warlock Blight (same team) | Arthur, Lucius OR Bella, Claire, Sivir OR Ash, Claire OR Harper |
Consistent with the annotations already captured above: Shadow (if 7–8★, else Claire), Cynthia/Claire as interchangeable Ranger-Blight carries, Jester/Joker for PvP only, Daskal for PvP only, and Marlena anchoring the budget F2P-friendly builds. Squad positioning and star-level detail belong in the companion hero/squad builder rather than this page.
