There are no puzzles in lichess and analysing can be hard sometimes and you cant find people so often, so how can i get better?
1. KOTH is very similar to chess, if you get better at chess you'll get better at KOTH too (So, solve puzzles for normal chess too)
2. You can find some KOTH puzzles on www.pychess.org/puzzle/kRvMJ (I very liked this one) and chessvariants.training/Puzzle/KingOfTheHill
3. Play more and analyze your games. Practice makes perfect. Sitting in a lobby can be boring, but there are shields and other arenas occasionally.
4. Learn opening theory. If you have some KoTH-specific repertoire, you will have an advantage over those who don't have one. But it's a tone of work that you can only do yourself with an engine. Generally I think if you analyze some variant with an engine a lot you can understand it better

but in some puzzles of the pychess there are multiple answers i think that's not a problem, im just losing rating of puzzle but still it counts as i got it right?

@Alomah Solving puzzles is generally useful, so, yeah
@CyberShredder whats the puzzle rating i need to get, to get to 2200 in KOTH?
@Alomah I don't know. Puzzles are just training, it certainly keeps you in some shape but that's it. Getting your koth rating higher is a another process there are no guarantees.
Playing the variant gets you more experience. Considering that you have only played about 100 games of KOTH, playing and learning from your mistakes will get you better. This is what I did in rk and atomic.
Koth is my favourite variant even though I don’t play it.
