Overview
Amadeus is a Generation 1 Legendary Infantry hero and one of the most important heroes in all of Kingshot. He is widely regarded as the best rally caller for Infantry-based Bear Hunt rallies and remains viable well into Generation 6 and beyond.
What makes Amadeus truly unique is his exclusive widget, Aegis of Fate, which is the only offensive infantry widget in the entire game. No other infantry hero can replicate this multiplicative rally bonus, making him irreplaceable for serious rally content regardless of how many new generations are released.
Skills
Tactical Command (Active): Deals direct damage to enemies and increases all allied troops' Attack for a short duration. The damage scales with Amadeus's own Attack stat and the number of Infantry in his squad.
Iron Will (Passive): When Amadeus's army HP drops below 50%, he gains a defensive buff that reduces incoming damage. This passive makes him surprisingly tanky for an offensive hero.
Rally Surge (Expedition): When leading a rally, all troops in the march gain increased Lethality and Attack. This skill's bonus is additive with other expedition skills from rally joiners.
Aegis of Fate Widget
The Aegis of Fate is Amadeus's exclusive widget gear. Unlike standard additive bonuses, widget bonuses are multiplicative, meaning a stated "15% bonus" can effectively increase combat output by 100%+ in real scenarios.
Maxing the Aegis of Fate requires 275 widgets total (levels 1–10). It provides squad health and lethality bonuses that stack multiplicatively with all other buffs.
| Widget Level | Widgets Required | Cumulative Cost | Bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | 5 | +2% Squad ATK |
| 5 | 25 | 75 | +8% Squad ATK |
| 10 | 50 | 275 | +15% Squad ATK (Multiplicative) |
Bear Hunt Usage
Amadeus is the top Infantry rally caller for Bear Hunt. The recommended troop ratio when using Amadeus as captain is 5% Infantry : 25% Cavalry : 70% Archers (5:25:70). The minimum Infantry count should be at least 5,000 to ensure his Infantry-scaling skills activate properly.
For optimal Bear Hunt damage, pair Amadeus with Petra (Cavalry) and use the latest generation Archer as the third hero. Rally joiners should ideally send 2 Chenkos and 2 Amanes for approximately 12.5% more damage than 4 Chenkos.
Recommended Builds
- Rally Caller Build: Max Aegis of Fate widget first. Prioritize Infantry Health gear (Infantry Shroud and Infantry Gloves to Level 100+). Focus on Lethality and Attack stats.
- Bear Hunt Specialist: Use the 5:25:70 troop ratio. Ensure at least 5,000 Infantry. Time pet buffs before rally launches.
- F2P Priority: Amadeus should be your first Legendary hero investment. His widget makes him worth more than newer generation heroes without widgets.
Tier Ranking
Amadeus is consistently ranked S+ tier across all major tier lists for rally/attack content. He drops to B tier for garrison defense since his widget is offensive-only. For rally joiners, he is B tier as his value comes from leading, not joining.
| Mode | Tier | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rally (Attack) | S+ | Best infantry rally caller in the game |
| Bear Hunt | S+ | Core rally captain, irreplaceable widget |
| Arena | A | Strong but outclassed by newer gens in raw stats |
| Garrison (Defense) | B | Offensive widget doesn't trigger on defense |
