What To Do Now After K50 Update on Evony
The Evony K50 update (October 24, 2025) has sparked mass quits and account sales—especially among T1 trap keepers like me at K39 with 2.8B power. But I'm not bailing; I'm adapting to hold off K45+ raids in the T17 meta. In this post-K50 deep-dive from Empire Build Academy, I break down my current setup: 433M T1s, Boudica walls, and hoarded tokens, plus tweaks for layered defenses. If you're F2P or low-spender wondering "What now?", we'll cover troop counts, gear refines, buff farms, and top wall general picks. Got advice? Comment below—who's your Isaac Brock successor?
Whether sticking to pure traps or pivoting to T1 defense, these strategies keep you raiding without rage-quitting. Let's fortify.
Step 1: Audit Your Troops – T1 Trap Layers vs. T17 Threats
First rule post-K50: Volume over elites. My K39 trap keep ghosts T12+ but reveals T1 meat walls to soak hits. Current counts? Not enough for multi-march K45s—aim 500M+ T1s minimum.
My Troop Breakdown (Pre-Tweak)
Tweaks I'm Eyeing:
Boost T1 Mounted/Ground: Train 100M+ more—food/wood farms during events.
Trim Ghosts: Ditch T14 Winter Palace Cav? Reduces second-hit risks but frees resources.
Ranged/Siege Pad: Uniform 20K layers—confirm in comments if overkill.
Barracks Check: T11-T14 spikes (365K-3.3M) for AB farms—scale back if pure trap.
Pro Tip: Test in SvS—K50 one-shots T1 walls, but 2-3 hits? Survivable with debuffs. F2P Goal: 500M T1s by November events.
Step 2: Gear & Dragon Refines – Flat Buffs for Trap Tanks
Boudica's my wall queen (9.1M power), but flats need polishing for T17 soaks. Koryo set's 5/6—lucky boss chest pulls!
Boudica Gear Snapshot
Hornbow: Mounted Attack (Flat) – Swap 26.1% to Flask for HP.
Refines: Mounted Attack (674/992 max)—grind stones for parity.
Ranged Fix: One slot's %—refine to flat def/HP.
Dragons: Sacred Beast on defense—yellow flats, but low mounted def. Target: +Mounted Attack as Def (in-city focus).
F2P Hack: Event refines—stock 300K stones. Ascension #4 buffs incoming?
Step 3: Academy & Buff Farms – Gold Grind for Mastery Edges
Military Academy's gold wall stalls me—saving for +28% mounted def (Alliance War) to +45%. Tactic scrolls ready; gold events key.
Council Estate: Pull to 4-star in-city HP; Electra/Champlain ascensions for ground/mounted spikes.
Position Promotion: Collect shards—low now, but +def potential.
Center/Victory Column: Lv. 5 max—needs 5 epic generals at 10-star (I'm at 3). Token hoard helps.
Spiritual Beasts: All 1-star for in-city mounted attack (10%)—upgrade to 2-4 stars post-full set. Seals amplify.
Low-Spender Plan: Weekly gold farms (Ranger Night Order)—aim 2,000%+ buffs by December.
Step 4: Wall General & Token Strategy – Ditch Boudica?
Boudica's solid, but K50 demands better. Hoarding 108 tokens (99 normal, 6 glory, 3 historic)—waiting for non-attack ground beast.
Top Picks?
Isaac Brock: In-city ground attack 40%/def/HP 20%—last great drop. Ascension math: +Boudica edges?
New Release?: Frequent? Nah—hold for next "Isaac 2.0."
Ground Swap: Pure T1 trap? Go non-attack like Zhang Fei (+50% ground atk/HP).
If traps flop: Pivot T1 defense—thicker T2-T4 layers. Comments: Who's your wall MVP?
F2P Post-K50 Roadmap: Trap or Pivot?
I'm testing T1 traps first—zero by K50 inevitable, but K45? 2-3 hits survivable. If not: T1 defense with 2M mixed tiers.Weekly To-Dos:Train 50M T1s daily.
Refine 1 gear slot.
Gold farm for Academy.
Alliance merges for beasts/tokens.
Bubble pre-SvS—permanent now?
Future: Updated K50 Defense Guide (Reddit-sourced)—drop by next week.
Your Turn: Save My Trap Keep or Scrap It?
Sticking post-K50? Me too—but tweaks needed. Comment:Ditch T14 ghosts?
Token target (Brock or wait)?
Min troops vs. K45 (one-hit zero?)?
Trap viable or defense pivot?
