Note[]
You can further boost your Gate Defense Bonus in these ways:
- Review your Castellan's equipment such as helmet, artifact, armor and weapon and swap them out for any items that have 'increase gate protection by (+X%) etc'. This is a useful thing to do anyway once you've captured an outpost as items that were good for attack is: 'occupation time decreased' are now pointless if your castellan is now going to defend the outposts. The picture below has the mouse hovering over the castellan and you can read +10% gate protection plus all it's other attributes. (It has a weapon that gives +5% gate protection and armor giving him another +5% gate protection). This outpost has a Level 3 gate giving a gate defense bonus of 60% (see table above) and adding the castellan's equipment you can see the total gate defense bonus is 70%.
You can boost equipment further by visiting Technicus when he drops by and upgrading whatever it is you want to boost (gate, walls, speed etc) to increase the %.
- Buy a portcullis from the armorer, master blacksmith, and special offers, or reinforced portcullis from nomad events, and sometimes from special offers. Both items add +75% gate protection when you add this item to a castle gate slot.
It is possible to have over 600% gate protection with this condition:
- Castle gate level 8 (200%)
- 2 Portcullises (150%) or 2 Thunder crash bomb (+160% gate protection and +180% combat strength for ranged units in defense)
- Relic equipment (160%)
- Additional relic gem bonus (60%)
- Additional relic hero bonus (60%)
- Additional bonus from Hall Of Legends (30%)
- If you are a Legendary Level player with the Hall of Legends building, you can also increase gate protection with the skill of "Gatekeeper", which can get you 30% bonus gate protection.
- Relic castellan will give you extra +160% gate protection, if you have a relic with high gate protection, +60% from relic gems, and +60% from relic heroes, which is only worked for one targets (NPC or castle lords).
- Reinforced Portcullis gives you more Khan medal bonus, if you successfully defended against Khan camp, when you taunt that. Remember, you must have a maximum rage points in order to taunt.
- You can use trebuchet as alternative of Portcullis, which gives gate protection and combat strength for ranged units in defense.
