Troop Training FAQs

How many, what kind, and why.


⋆ How many of each building type should I have?
• Barracks - I wouldn't recommend getting too carried away with building barracks. Have enough in order to ALWAYS have troops training, however that fits into your schedule. Generally no more than 3. Eventually you're only going to want 1.
• Manors - if you're just starting out, I would say 4-5. Manors increase training speed, which is very valuable when you don't have many troops.
• Infirmaries - as many as possible. Infirmaries are important because healing troops is a fraction of the cost. Have the minimum of barracks and manors that function for you and then fill every other available space with Infirmaries.

⋆ How many should I train?
• Infantry, Ranged, and Cavalry: minimum of max march for each type
• Seige: 10% to 20% of max march
• After that, pick one or two troop types and train them constantly. ALWAYS have troops training.

⋆ What is "Maximum March"?
• Max march is max army size (click castle) plus the hero command boost (under hero battle skills) for the number of heros you can send (click castle, click i).
• Easy way to find it: click rally on a Darknest. Assign heros. Use the number you can send.

⋆ Can you give me an example?
This castle is C14. My max army size is 56k. I can send 4 heros with this size castle. My 4 best heros are Rank 4 and can command 1,440 each. My maximum march is 61,760.

So, I keep at least 62k on hand of each main troop type and about 7k of siege. Then once that min is reached, I pick one or two troop types to specialize in and only build those troop types. If I get perms in the other types, upgrade my castle, or upgrade my heros, I rebuild to max march before continuing training my specialized troops.

⋆ Why?
It's good to have all troop types on hand for situations you need counters for, like DNs and enemy rallies. But it's also good to specialize in one troop type so you can max your gear, talents, and research in that one type for ultimate impact.

⋆ Which Tiers?
Your choice, but I only keep T1s and T3s on hand. Once I unlock T3s, I do not replace the T2s ever and only replace the T1s once I've got a full march of each T3 type. Some do T2s instead of T1s.

⋆ What about Siege?
Do not train siege evenly with they other troop types. They are only to take down walls and you don't need many. In fact, later on in the game you're rarely going to even use siege.

⋆ How can I train troops faster?
You can boost training speed using Manors, talents, research, and turf boosts.

⋆ IMPORTANT ⋆
Don't do any of this if you're building a trap. That's a whole different ball game.

Darknest Rallies

T's Ultimate Darknest Rally Guide Victory over a Darknest isn't just about how many troops you send at it. It's about which troops and why. Sure, you might be able to beat it by just throwing a ton of troops at it, but you'll end up with more wounded than necessary. Why Do Darknest Rallies? It's basically free loot. Random, but you don't need to do much for it other than hold the rally correctly and heal some troops. Troops sent to a Darknest will never die unless you don't have room in your Infirmary. There are 5 grades of essence just like gear and heroes and... well, pretty much everything. The grade goes up with the Darknest levels. Level 1 nests give you common up through level 5 nests giving you legendary. Theoretically, the higher the essence, the better the loot. I say theoretically because sometimes you cook an epic one for 12 hours and still get something useless to you and other times you do a common one and get something you need...

Heros: Types, Grades, Levels, & Ranks

There are four different types of characteristics that are important determining factors of various aspects of a hero. - Attribute type determines which basic attribute increases ATK. - Grade determines the boost percentage of the Battle Skills. - Level determines the amounts for the Hero Skill bonuses and the ability to equip Trophies. - Rank unlocks Battle and Hero Skills and Trophies affect the hero's statistics. For monster hunting, hero stages, and the Colosseum, heroes with a higher level and rank tend to be more important than heroes with a higher grade. Grade does also add to their statistics, so a higher grade is better than a lower grade, but in general, grade is not a huge factor for anything but their Battle Skill %. The opposite is also true. If you're looking at Battle Skills, a hero with a higher grade will be more effective than a hero at a higher level or rank. Rank does increase command, which will ultimately give you more troops and a hero with ...

The "Best" Heroes

I mean it when I say that the primary thing to keep in mind is that all of the heroes have strengths and weakness. There is no universal "best" hero. It comes down to personal preference and building a good team with all the types and useful battle skills for what you're focused on. But I know that's not what you want. So here goes. This is just my personal opinion. Free Heroes 1. Rose Knight 2. Heroes with troop specific ATK & HP Battle Skills • Demon Slayer - Infantry • Snow Queen - Ranged • Child of Light - Cavalry 3. Trickster 4. Bombin' Goblin 5. Prima Donna Paid Heroes 1. Lore Weaver 2. Berserker 3. Songstress of the Sea 4. The Big Guy 5. Witch Doll Rose Knight Cavalry • STR (Strength) She is the most ideal free hero offered in the game right now. She has high HP, healing capabilities, and at Rank 7, she has an Army ATK boost.
