Ice War: Three Kingdoms | Ultimate Beginner Guide

During the Three Kingdoms period, relentless wars tore through the land, and an unforgiving blanket of ice and snow shrouded the world. As a city lord in Ice War: Three Kingdoms, your mission is to brave the freezing winters, increase your battle power, suppress chaos, and lead your people through brutal conditions.

For new players, the “pioneering phase” is everything—it's where you lay the groundwork to become a pro. This guide has you covered with tips on team setups, resource management, building upgrades, aliance, and more.

Facilities & Resource

Your city's buildings are the backbone of your progress. Fireplace upgrades keep you warm, defended, and ready to grow. At the same time, each building has a different function, For example, warehouses help you store more resources without worrying about being robbed of resources, etc. Next, let's take a look at what buildings are available and what resources should be prioritized!

Furnace

Furnace is your lifeline in this frozen wasteland. It is the equivalent of the "engine" of your city. It keeps your citizens from freezing and sets the level cap for all other buildings. Therefore, we should first reserve sufficient resources for Furnace and prioritize the upgrading of the conversion facilities.

*Note: Critical Furnace Rating

• Level 15 unlock equipment;
• Level 23 unlock divine soldiers;
• Level 25 unlock jade;
• Level 26 unlock ninth level soldiers;
• Level 30 unlock tenth level soldiers.

• Quarry

The quarry is one of the key facilities in the early stages.By building as well as upgrading the quarry, you can provide enough relevant resources for your becoming.

• Warehouse

Barracks can help you train soldiers of various types, such as: infantry, bow soldiers, cavalry.The soldiers you raise can help you attack other people's cities or help defend your city.The number of soldiers is also an important part of your combat power.

Resource Management

• Resource Allocation

The four major resources, food, wood, coal and iron ore, are all just needed for city development. Players can obtain them by doing quests, picking resource points, and brushing daily activities.

The following is the recommended resource ratio for upgrading: 4:4:2:1 (e.g. to upgrade the main city, you need 4 shares of food and 4 shares of wood). At the same time, when performing collection activities, you can't just collect one kind of resource, but fill in the missing resources in time so as not to affect the upgrading progress.

• Increased Rate of Resource Acquisition

Remember to turn on the "people's heart skills" and elite generals skills when collecting, equivalent to the opening of the speed of collection, the resource rubbing up!

Yang Xiu	Discern the Higher Intent	Wood gathering speed increased by 12% (max)
Ma Su	Winning Hearts and Minds	Raw meat gathering speed increased by 12% (max)

Alliance

Generals and Teams

Don't spend the recruitment orders sent in the beginning, prioritize the high star legendary generals, or with the camp you chose to match (3 generals from the same camp have a bonus) according to our heroes tier list guide.The Gold Ingots is reserved for the big things, do not touch the card drawer is too bad!

The people's heart mission to the generals fragments, the beacon mission to the general fragments, limited-time activities must squat: seven capture Meng Wu get Zhu Rong fragments, Qiankun searching for will get the legendary generals, the activities open rush rush!

Rational use of resources

Don't waste Universal Shards on upgrading martial artists—use their Exclusive Shards if you can recruit them. Early on, pour resources into leveling up 1-2 core martial artists, like your main damage-dealer (DPS). Avoid spreading resources thin like some wannabe “hero collector”!

Basic Team for Newbies

Go for the “Infantry-Infantry-Cavalry-Archer-Archer” setup: two Infantry up front to soak damage, one Cavalry to shred the enemy backline, and two Archers for ranged DPS. When tackling the Arena or PVE Raids, memorize the unit counters—knowing what beats what is half the battle!

Stack your team with martial artists from the same faction: three matching ones boost damage by 20%, four hit 30%, and five crank it up to a massive 40%. That kind of synergy makes your squad an absolute wrecking crew!

Soldier Training Tips

Infantry take heavy losses, but you've gotta train plenty—they're your frontline tanks eating all the damage! Fill out Cavalry and Archers based on your team's needs, but don't go overboard training just one type—balance is key!
