01 · Foundation

Leader and joiner are different jobs

The rally leader supplies the combat framework. Joiners mainly supply troops and one useful first-slot Expedition skill.

♛
Rally host

Build the framework

  • Use your strongest developed three-hero combination.
  • Bring the best research, equipment, pets and city bonuses.
  • Audit the four active joiner skills before departure.
  • Strong designated hosts should lead the priority rallies.
♟
Rally joiner

Inject the right skill

  • Put Chenko, Yeonwoo, Amane or Amadeus in the leftmost slot.
  • Never use a defensive or gathering hero in slot one.
  • No approved hero available? Send troops without heroes.
  • Prioritize the strongest marked hosts before opening your own rally.
02 · Formation

One preset that is easy to remember

Use 10 / 10 / 80 as the default joiner formation, then favor total troop throughput when archers run low.

10%Cavalry
80%Archers
Throughput rule

Idle troops deal zero damage.

Do not leave large troop reserves at home only to preserve a perfect ratio. Keep every available march moving with the best remaining mix.

03 · Skill pool

Protect the four support slots

The supplied model favors two Lethality and two Attack buffs. Treat the exact 12.5% difference as an analytical hypothesis until it is validated through controlled battle reports.

Event checklist

Ready before the timer starts

  • Save the 10 / 10 / 80 presets.
  • Place the approved joiner hero in slot one.
  • Mark the priority rally leaders.
  • Cluster close and follow the launch waves.
Mistakes and contingencies

Keep the rally clean when the ideal setup breaks

  • No approved first-slot hero: send troops without heroes.
  • Archers running low: keep marches moving with the best remaining mix.
  • Priority rallies filling fast: mark the strongest hosts before launch.
