If you’ve been wondering how some players in Knightica have unlocked the “Immortal” achievement, you’ve come to the right place. The path to infinity involves a specific late-game strategy that requires a strong economy, the right hero, and a powerful interaction between a single troop and a specific spell. This guide, based on my experience and detailed community findings, will break down the entire process, which is a fun challenge similar to unlocking all achievements in other games.

Be warned, this can be a long run, potentially taking a few hours, so you might want to do it in multiple sessions.
How to Get the “Immortal” Achievement
Recommended Hero: The Warrior
While other heroes might be viable, I’ve found that the Warrior is the best choice for this specific strategy. The Warrior’s special shops can give you high-tier units early on for faster scaling, and the ability to convert extra health into gold provides a massive economic boost.
Phase 1: Build Your Economy (The Greedy Comp)
To fund the expensive late game, your first goal is to build a “greedy” composition focused on generating as much gold as possible.
- Miners: These are your main source of gold. Their unconditional 1 gold per turn per level is essential for snowballing your income.
- Mercenaries: This is the backbone of your frontline. These troops gain stats based on how much gold you’re holding (up to 50).
- Scrappers: These are your ranged damage dealers. They gain stats based on the total amount of gold you spend throughout the game.
- Gold Dragons: If you can get them from eggs, Gold Dragons are a jackpot, providing both gold per turn and scaling for your Mercenaries.
Phase 2: The Infinity Engine (Bombshell + Twist)
This is the core mechanic that allows you to reach infinite stats.
- The Key Troop – Bombshell: The entire strategy revolves around the Bombshell unit. Its most important gimmick is that any bonus applied to its defense is also added to its attack, often with a multiplier at higher levels.
- The Key Spell – Twist: There is a spell called Twist that swaps a unit’s attack and defense values.
- How it Works: When you cast
Twist
on a Bombshell, an incredible interaction occurs. The spell increases the Bombshell’s defense to match its previously high attack. The Bombshell’s gimmick then triggers, adding that massive defense bonus to its new, lower attack value, resulting in an exponential gain of stats. By repeatedly buying and castingTwist
on a high-level Bombshell, its stats will grow until they reach “Infinity.”
Phase 3: Essential Spells and Boss Souls
To make the strategy work, you need to find specific supporting spells and souls.
Must-Have Spells:
- Flawless: Gives you 1 gold for each surviving friendly troop, providing huge income once your Bombshell is carrying fights.
- Cheap Rolls & Magic Roll: These provide discounted or more efficient ways to reroll your shop, helping you find more copies of
Twist
. - Phoenix (Enchantment): Put this on your Bombshell to double its effectiveness.
- Selfish (Enchantment): Put this on units adjacent to your Bombshell. It drains their stats but adds them to the Bombshell, further accelerating its growth.
Must-Have Boss Souls:
- Burst: This soul is almost a must-have, as it greatly increases the number of spells offered in each shop.
- Rerolls for Rerolls: A soul that gives your rerolls a chance to grant even more rerolls.
- Rerolls for Gold Held: This soul grants up to 4 free rerolls per turn if you are holding 50 gold, which synergizes perfectly with your Mercenaries.
