1. Understand the main pages
- If you prefer video instead of reading, you can check out https://youtu.be/G6tN5xOoI9k?si=vxXVghoJYkNt-3dM&t=535.
- The Tower - Knowledge Hub - the home page with the main shortcuts, and various easy-access embeds such as farming tracker, MVN calculator etc.
- Glossary - a database of game terminology and items, etc. Each page within it (for example Wall) typically consists of a definition, and where relevant: Fandom Wiki embed or other additional information, and various “related content”, such as “Related Tips”, “Related FAQs”, “Related Guides”, etc.
- Tools & Infographics - a compilation of all the fantastic resources created by the community, such as tower calculators, spreadsheets, infographics, etc.
- Guides & Strategies - a page where I am gradually writing out more guides and written content.
- Tournament Matters - a page setup to help ease tournament preparation and planning, including a tournament checklist, overview of latest/current battle conditions, lots of useful tournament tips and information, etc.
- Categories - primarily used for labelling and hierarchical purposes - but each category page is already gradually being fleshed out to more thoroughly introduce the respective category topics. Such as Cards, etc.
- “Related Content”
- Collection of Tips - as the name implies: a collection of tips & tricks related to the game. And importantly, these do not just sit in their own silo, but also appear at any given relevant page. For example, the tip “ Tip: Start Wall Thorns first! can be accessed directly or via the Collection of Tips database, but it is also within the Wall page’s and the Wall Thorns page’s “Related Tip” section.
- Collection of FAQs - similarly, you can access and filter the FAQ section directly if desired, but the important and powerful aspect is that it also appears at the relevant Glossary items. Continuing to use the Wall as example, you will see that the When should I unlock the wall? FAQ is within it in the section called “Related FAQs”
- Collection of Images - this follows the same rationale as the Tips and FAQ databases, but for relevant screenshots, images, and GIFs.
- Why Create This Knowledge Hub? - if you ever wondered why I created this website.
- Abbreviations - a very comprehensive list of abbreviations used in the game and by the community.
Plus, numerous other things being built out, such as some more tournament-specific matters, a section for beginners players (Beginners, start here! 👋), a section for stone pack giveaways (New Stone Pack Giveaway for Contributors [OPEN], and lots more. There are even easter eggs hidden around the website…
2. Don’t be afraid to click around!
Content is closely linked through relational databases that can be shown anywhere, and which will auto-populate with any new future content that relates to the given subject matter. And in the example below, the glossary items that belong to the Bots category have been added as a “View Table”.
- By hovering over the name, such as Amplify Bot, and clicking “Open” you can open up its page for more details.
- By hovering over the table, you can change sorting, filters and search. And all of that is only changing for you. Meaning you are not affecting the viewing experience for anyone else.
- And by clicking the “view titles” at the top, you could jump to other pre-set views. In this case, there is a gallery example, and a “detailed table” example.

3. Search
Any database can be searched, but you can also search the whole website by either clicking the search icon in the top right corner (or CTRL+P on your keyboard). Ideally, the website is sufficiently cross-linked for you to easily navigate around, but at times, searching across the whole website may be more efficient and intuitive for you. Whatever works best for you, of course.
To get better search results, be sure to click the “Title only” for more explicit search results. Otherwise default search may at times be too swayed by page popularity and such metrics.
