Where a Viking Rise bot actually runs
A bot has to see the game screen and tap on it. Doing that on your own phone means the phone is busy, hot and unusable while the bot works, and it stops the moment you take a call. That is why serious Viking Rise bots run the game somewhere else — on an Android emulator on a PC or on a remote Android device in the cloud — and give you a dashboard to control it.
Cloud: no PC, no emulator
With the cloud plan your Viking Rise accounts run on remote Android devices in a data centre. Nothing is installed at home, nothing needs to stay switched on, and accounts keep gathering at night and while you travel. You add accounts by IGG ID, choose settings in the browser and watch the results there.
This is the option for players who do not want to keep a computer on 24/7, and for anyone running more than a handful of farms.
PC: on your own computer
The PC plan installs a Windows program that runs Viking Rise in an Android emulator and plays it for you. You pay less per account, but the computer has to stay on while the bot works, and every extra account needs its own emulator instance — memory and CPU decide how many you can run at once.
Android phones
There is no app to install on your Android phone, and you do not need one. Your phone is the remote control: open the dashboard in a browser to see each account's resources, change templates or pause an account. You can still open Viking Rise on the same phone and play your main account yourself while the bot runs the farms elsewhere.
iPhone and iPad
iOS does not allow apps that control other apps, so no bot can run Viking Rise on an iPhone directly. It does not matter here: accounts are linked to an IGG ID, not to a device, so an account you play on iPhone can be run by the bot in the cloud or on a PC, and you check on it from Safari.
Cloud or PC: quick comparison
- Needs a PC switched on — cloud: no; PC: yes.
- Install anything — cloud: no; PC: a Windows program and an emulator.
- Price per account — cloud: higher; PC: lower.
- Number of accounts — cloud: as many as you add; PC: limited by your hardware.
- Control from a phone — both, in the browser.
What the bot does on either plan
The routine is the same: gathering with your chosen order and boosts, building and Chief Hall upgrades, research, troop training, clan help and donations, daily rewards, Niflungs, healing and, on farms, Supply Resources to the main account. The details are on the Viking Rise bot page, and current prices on the pricing page.
Gathering, building, research and clan help on every account, 24/7 in the cloud or on your PC.
FAQ
Is there a Viking Rise bot app for Android?
Not as an app on the phone. The bot runs the game in the cloud or in an emulator on a PC; your Android phone only opens the dashboard in a browser.
Can I use a Viking Rise bot on iPhone?
Yes, indirectly. The bot runs your account in the cloud or on a PC, and you control it from Safari. Your account is tied to its IGG ID, so it does not matter which device you play on yourself.
Do I need to keep my PC on?
Only on the PC plan. On the cloud plan accounts run on remote devices around the clock, with nothing running at home.
