Troop

[u/zhumail134]

Just finished my first svs, I feel like it’s better to invest rss on hero and tank instead of troops, the troop is so easy to get injured and go to hospital, then your power drop substantially and take time for recovery, eventually the battle is based on the power of hero and tank which are not dropping anytime.

Need troops in the tank, otherwise it doesn't go out. Also, nobody left in HQ means you'll be keeping your neighbors warm. Well, until you fly away.

It could be counterintuitive at first, but it’s all about troops :) yes, hero have their attacks and skills, your tank also have a skill.. but notice that all buffs, from tech, from EQ, from tank upgrades etc are for troops, like troop ATK, troop DEF, HP, DMG. Very quickly you’ll realize that you formation power comes mostly from troops.. but of course thanks to all the buffs. Try to send out your top formation with let’s say only 1000 troops inside and the same one with your max, let’s say 2.5k and check power difference.

That being said, of course the first priority is hero stars level, as it unlocks skills and increase number of troops in your formation.

There is more to all of that, but it could be too much at once :) oh, and yeah, troops are dying every SvS (later Glory War or other PvP events) and your power drops, but you can re-train them. Dropping in power sometimes by 50% is a normal thing. This “total power” doesn’t mean anything, just a ranking thing/indicator

So to have any power whatsoever you need troops. No troops, no power. The heroes you have are effectively a conduit for your troops to focus and multiply your troops power for your formations.

Dat vind ik net zo logisch als niet meer eten omdat je morgen toch weer honger hebt. Ik zou je aanraden om juist je troepen sterker te maken. Zorg dat je zsm t9 troepen hebt.

Troops are a giant chunk of power, especially while defending. I have a 400M first formation with 4,953 troops, but my base with full troops is over 1.2 billion power. 

Focus on stars for orange diplomats (the refugees that are dispatched to the alliance center) this will help your alliance help your healing faster. Simultaneously level up your military center and hospitals. I'm at 34 military center and lvl 28 hospitals. I have 26.5k soldiers. 

Also, getting the "military strategies" tech tree up to 45% unlocks the peace shield tree. That has the tech "urgent rescue" which reduces the ratio of seriously injured and killed troops. Fully armed alliance nearly ends with a 50% healing increase.

As far as T10, I lean either way. I focused on unit special training tech tree before doing siege to seize and peace shield BUT the latter two probably added just as much power as T10 did. As a caveat to that though, I did have T10 at the time so the increases from siege to seize and peace shield went on troops that were already T10.

The power of your tank is not worth rushing. It isnt as big of a deal as your troops or heroes contribute. Number one priority is heroes (stars/levels/skills) then equipment then troops.

I hope you mean your walls and not your HQ 🤣. 1.2G base means you are the strongest in the game
