Welcome to Empire Build Academy! I’m Favian, and today I’m diving into the new Evony: The King's Return event, the Sea Rush Challenge, recorded on Tuesday, August 26, 2025, at 03:15 PM BST.

Overview of the Sea Rush Challenge

With so many events in Evony, the Sea Rush Challenge adds another chance for awesome rewards. Accessible via the icon above the castle wall, this event features mystical islands hidden in sea fog. Each region opens weekly, requiring players to conquer stages with varying troop types. Let’s break it down based on the in-game info.

Event Details

Rotation: Regions unlock weekly—check event times.

Stages: Most require one victory to clear; some need two out of three.

Troop Setup: Select at least one general and troop type (e.g., ground, archers). Unlock higher tiers via barracks levels. Major troop types can be sent in large numbers, while non-major types are limited but boostable with event buffs.

March Size: Caps at your capacity; buffs increase limits.

First Clear Rewards: Earned per stage on first completion.

Sweep Function: Unlocks from week two for cleared stages, offering sweep rewards.

Difficulty: Decreases near season’s end for easier clears.

Buffs: Sea Resonance Stones boost event buffs (reset seasonally, event-specific only).

Currency: Ocean Wave Coins redeem items in the shop (limits reset seasonally).

Rankings: Track progress on my server, neighbor server, and all servers (refreshes every 5 minutes; first clears rank higher).

Gameplay and Strategy

This event echoes the Expedition feature but with a nautical twist. Let’s explore the interface and tactics.

Interface Breakdown

Event Buff: Requires Sea Resonance Crystals (unlocks later).

Island Journey: Offers rewards and optional packs.

Redeem Shop: Features familiar rewards (details emerge with progress).

Charts: Leaders like Young (425 stages) and Draxton (397 stages) top the ranks; I’m at 125/500 (68th).

Battling Stages

I tested the Frostbound Tundra region with ground troops:

Setup: Used Lu Xuan as the main general, Swain as assist, and maxed T14 ground troops (34,580 capacity, unaffected by a 480 buff attempt).

Process: Auto-challenge sped through stages. Power gaps (e.g., 428M vs. 33K at stage 7) made early rounds easy.

Experience: Reached stage 120 effortlessly. It’s a repetitive, click-heavy event—auto-challenge or an auto-clicker is ideal. I stepped away, returning to show progress.

Observations

Boredom Factor: This is one of Evony’s least engaging events, lacking interactivity beyond clicking.

Progress: Top players are nearing 500 stages, while I’m pacing steadily. Future regions (e.g., archers) unlock in 1-2 days.

Tip: Set auto-challenge, walk away, and check back later—manual clicking is tedious.

Rewards and Community Input

Rewards include first clears, sweeps, and shop items, though specifics need more playtime. Share your thoughts in the comments—how far have you progressed? Are you using auto-clickers or letting it run? Have any players hit all 500 stages? Your insights will shape future updates on empirebuildacademy.com.

Final Thoughts

The Sea Rush Challenge offers free rewards, but its monotony stands out. Leverage auto-features to save time. If you enjoy this content, subscribe, and I’ll see you in the next video soon. Thanks for watching!
