π‘ Tips & Tricks
Essential strategies explained step by step.
π‘οΈ Boost Your Formation Attack
Align 5 heroes of the same faction to get ATK +115%. For F2P prioritize Blood Rose in your first formation and its support buildings.
There are 3 factions: π΄ Blood Rose, π΅ Wings of Dawn and π‘ Guardian. With 5 heroes of the same faction you get ATK +115%.
Priority Order
1st β Blood Rose: easiest to get at the start + Toxic Mist Garden building.
2nd β Wings of Dawn: boosted by Dawn Tower.
3rd β Guardian: boosted by Steel Factory.
Faction Buildings
- Toxic Mist Garden β HIGH Priority
- Dawn Tower β MEDIUM Priority
- Steel Factory β MEDIUM Priority
Rules
β Keep formations pure (5 heroes same faction).
β Don't mix factions β you lose the +115% buff.
β Don't upgrade all 3 buildings at the same time.
π‘ F2P: The +115% buff makes a huge difference in PvP and events. No money needed, just strategy.
π¦Έ Best Refugees to Recruit
The Butler and Diplomat refugees are the most valuable in the game. Prioritize recruiting them to massively accelerate your progression.
The 2 Most Important Refugees
Refugees grant permanent passive abilities. Not all are equally useful β these 2 are the ones you must prioritize:
Butler
Main Ability: Construction Speed
Bonus: Free acceleration time when building
- Drastically reduces building construction time
- Grants additional free acceleration time
- Useful from level 1 to endgame
- Saves days or weeks of accumulated waiting
Diplomat
Main Ability: Alliance Help Limit
Bonus: More time reduced per help received
- Increases how many alliance helps you can receive
- Combines perfectly with the Butler
- In active alliances, complete buildings faster
π‘ Rarities: Even a green Butler beats other higher rarity refugees. Prioritize the type over rarity.
Recruitment Strategy
Priority 1: Butler β Priority 2: Diplomat β Priority 3: upgrade rarity.
π F2P Tip: Worth spending diamonds on these 2. They are one of the best investments in the game.
Recruitment Costs
- 1st Refugee: 500 coupons or diamonds
- 2nd Refugee: 2,000 coupons or diamonds
- 3rd Refugee: 5,000 coupons or diamonds
Available refugees change every 12 hours. You get a free refresh after each recruitment.
π Armor Rotation in Caravan
Transfer your best armor between formations to maximize rounds. Move equipment from Rose β Dawn β Guardian as you progress.
The 3 Caravan Fields
- π΄ Blood Rose Field
- π΅ Wings of Dawn Field
- π‘ Guardian Order Field
Rotation Steps
- Enter Rose field with your 1st formation and best armor. Advance as far as possible and exit.
- Equip that armor on your 2nd formation (Dawn). Enter and advance.
- Move armor to your 3rd formation (Guardian). Enter and advance.
- Return armor to your 1st formation when done.
Why It Works
- Your 2nd and 3rd formations are normally weaker
- Borrowed armor = more rounds = better rewards
- 100% F2P β costs no resources
β οΈ Remember: always restore armor to your 1st formation after Caravan ends.
β©οΈ Enable Auto Return for Troops
Always check the "Auto Return" checkbox before marching. Your troops will come back automatically after combat β no manual searching needed.
How to Enable It
- Click on the target β select "Attack".
- Find the "Auto Return" checkbox in the panel.
- Make sure it's checked β green.
- Click "March". Troops return automatically after combat.
βοΈ Always verify: don't assume it's enabled by default. Check before every attack, especially when farming multiple targets in a row.
β‘ Fast Reinforcement in Your Territory
Inside alliance territory, reinforcement is 3Γ faster than normal movement. Use it to reach treasures, strategic points and support allies urgently.
How to Use It
- Identify an allied base or city near the target
- Send a reinforcement to that intermediate base (3Γ speed)
- From there, launch toward the final target
Restriction
The 3Γ speed only works inside your alliance territory. Outside, normal speed applies.
When to Use It
- To arrive first at alliance treasures
- In alliance events where speed is critical
- To quickly support rally points
β‘ In alliance events, seconds determine who gets the loot. Mastering reinforcement gives you a real edge.
ποΈ Server Offices: Free Buffs
The server offers free official positions with very useful buffs. The Minister of Agriculture gives +35% gathering β essential for F2P players.
How to Access
- Click on your profile β find your War Zone
- Click that number β government interface
- Request the position that matches your needed buff
Positions and Buffs
| Position | Buffs | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| πΈ First Lady | Production +10%, Gathering +20% | Farmers |
| π€ Vice President | Construction +5%, Research +5% | Progression |
| βοΈ Commander | ATK +10%, DEF +10% | Combat |

π‘ Key: Positions are completely free. Request one right before building, researching or gathering to maximize each buff.
π©Ή Efficient Healing with Alliance Help
Don't use "Heal All" at once. Healing in small batches lets your alliance reduce the time and heal your troops without spending speedups.
The Common Mistake
Selecting "Heal All" at once β very long time β you spend speedups.
The Right Strategy
- DON'T use "Heal All".
- Check how many alliance members are online.
- Heal a small batch β the time will be short.
- Your alliance reduces that time with their helps.
- Repeat until all troops are healed without spending anything.
π― Best moment: after events like "The Tyrant", when many members are online. Heal all your troops without spending anything.
π Quick Donation in Alliance Technologies
Hold down the donate button instead of individual clicks. Activates automatic multipliers Γ2, Γ5, Γ10 to donate much faster.
The Trick
Hold down the donate button. Multipliers will appear:
- π₯ Γ2 β donate double
- π₯ Γ5 β donate 5 times more
- π₯ Γ10 β donate 10 times more
π₯ Extra: contribution points are used in the Alliance Shop for speedups, resources and fragments. The more you donate, the more you can buy!
π Locate Bases with Scout Reports
Click on the coordinates in the scout report and the map takes you directly to that base. No manual searching β essential for coordinating alliance attacks.
The Trick
- Open the report (from mail or shared chat).
- Below the player name you'll see coordinates (e.g.: X:324 Y:772).
- Click directly on those coordinates.
Result: the map automatically goes to that base. No manual search.
Use Cases
- Coordinate attacks β everyone reaches the target quickly
- Check distance before deciding to attack
- Find weak bases shared in chat
π Works on any scout report β mail or chat. Use it whenever you need to locate a base quickly.
π¦ Save Resource Boxes for High Level
Golden boxes scale with your HQ level. The same golden box at HQ level 27 gives 10x more resources than at level 15. Don't open them early.
Box Types
- π¦ Blue β Use freely when needed
- πͺ Purple β Save until level 20β23
- π¨ Golden β DON'T open until level 27+
Strategy by Level
| Level | Blue | Purple | Golden |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1β15 | Use | Save | Save |
| 16β23 | Use | If needed | Save |
| 24β26 | Use | Use | Save |
| 27+ | Use | Use | Open! |
π₯ Real example: 50 golden boxes saved from level 10 to level 28 = over 20 billion resources when opened.
