Kingshot previews Olander and Catherine: two new directions for Badlands Masters

Kingshot’s Badlands are set to welcome two Masters with different areas of expertise. In an October 27 announcement, the official account said Quinn will have a chance to encounter SvS Master Olander and Administration Master Catherine from November 9, 2026 at 00:00 UTC. They will initially be available in Kingdoms 1–1331 and gradually reach more kingdoms; later rollout dates have not been announced.

Olander is connected to preparation for Kingdom of Power. According to the announcement, befriending him and receiving his guidance can help governors earn more Preparation Points, unlock additional rewards and strengthen troops for the Battle Phase. The preview does not give exact points, skill values or encounter odds, and does not promise an encounter on every exploration.

Catherine’s focus is town planning and administration. The same announcement says her guidance can help governors develop their towns and increase resource gains. It does not yet specify resource types, bonus amounts or the full unlock requirements, so the distinction between the two Masters is best understood as a difference in focus rather than an unverified numerical comparison.

The pairing places cross-kingdom preparation and everyday town development on the same Badlands journey: one Master focuses on pre-battle preparation and troops, the other on building and resources. Their relevance can differ with kingdom progress. The ways to befriend them, their effects and current availability should be checked on the in-game screen for each kingdom.

The official artwork shows the two Masters together as a pre-release preview, not an actual encounter screen. The announced time is November 9 at 07:00 in western Indonesia and Thailand, and 08:00 in the Philippines. Converting the clock does not change the initial kingdom range; further expansion awaits an official notice.
