Viking Event 2026 - Overview

How the Event works?

• Collect Fate Amulets. To begin, click on the event banner and enter the legendary Viking village! Before you stands the mighty Wheel of Fate, waiting to test your skill and courage. First, make sure your pouch is filled with Fate Amulets! You can earn them by completing Event Quests, Daily Challenge, opening random City incidents, or purchasing them with Diamonds.
• Check the new Tutorial. Because the Event works differently this year, the tutorial has been updated to introduce the changes and help you get started with the refreshed mini-game.
• Throw Axes to Win. Spend Fate Amulets to throw an Axe at the Wheel and prove your aim! Every Axe thrown grants you at least 2 Grand Prize progress, bringing you one step closer to this year’s mightiest rewards.
• Neighborhood Rivalry. Beware! The Wheel of Fate is shared across your entire neighborhood. That means other players can claim rewards from the very same Wheel you’re targeting! Once all prizes on a Wheel have been collected, it refreshes automatically with a fresh set of spoils. Watch closely, strike quickly, and don’t let your rivals claim what should be yours!

What's New in 2026?

This year, the Wheel of Fate brings a fresh twist! Fate Amulets now power your Axe throws, replacing Viking Coins entirely. And the Runes of old have given way to valuable new Item Store currencies, which you can gather and spend in the brand-new Fjord Market for rewards worthy of a true Norse legend!

Introducing TWO New Event Currencies that you can use in the Fjord Market:

	Muninn Coins	The Wheel now contains Muninn Coins in several reward pools! These appear in different tiers and can be collected multiple times depending on the pool. Note that you also can obtain them through the Daily Tasks, so make sure to complete them regularly and gather as many as you can, they’ll come in handy in the Fjord Market!
	Geri Coins	Rare Geri Coins can also appear on the Wheel, replacing last year’s Rune rewards! These are especially valuable as it grants you 2 extra Grand Prize progress when you collect this reward from the Wheel. Once claimed, they remain unavailable until the Wheel is refreshed, so choose your throws wisely!

Complete daily tasks!

Stay busy, stay sharp, and claim every reward you can! For in-depth information on the Event mechanics, head to MECHANICS.

And Forge your path to the Rewards!

This year’s Grand Prize is the legendary Valkyrie Tower, with Silver and Gold versions! This mighty building grants powerful bonuses to your city, including attack boosts, Forge Points, and more! Along the way, you’ll uncover brand new rewards, and a special League reward reserved for those who rise to the top of the leaderboard! And legends answer the call, Eric Bloodaxe and Queen Gunnhild ready to join your ranks as new Historical Allies. And of course, no event would be complete without striking avatars inspired by Viking legend!
