If youโ€™re feeling lazy and prefer watching over reading, no worries! Just kick back and watch this video for some of the info you need. ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ˜„ But hey, if youโ€™re the type who wants the completed guide with extra tips, scroll down below the video and dive into the text about the event.

๐Ÿง  WHAT IS A RALLY?

A rally = a team attack (or defense) where one player leads and others join.

  • ๐Ÿงจ Offensive Rally: Hitting PvP targets (like castles) or PvE bosses (like Cesares, Bear Hunt, Terrors)

  • ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Defensive Rally: Holding a building or garrison together when under attack

You are either:

  • ๐Ÿ‘‘ The Rally Leader โ€” runs the show

  • ๐Ÿค A Rally Joiner โ€” supports with troops and one skill


๐Ÿ‘‘ RALLY LEADER โ€” THE CORE OF THE RALLY

You’re the heart of the rally. If your setup is weak, the entire rally is weak โ€” no matter how good your team is.


โœ… WHAT THE LEADER CONTRIBUTES:
  • ๐Ÿ’ช ALL Buffs Apply:

    • Combat research ๐Ÿ“˜

    • Governor gear ๐ŸŽฝ

    • Charms ๐Ÿงฟ

    • Pet bonuses ๐Ÿฒ

    • Skins, frames, island decorations ๐Ÿฐ

    • Consumables ๐Ÿ–

  • ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™‚๏ธ ALL Hero Skills Apply:

    • 3 Expedition skills

    • +1 Hidden skill from exclusive gear

    • ๐Ÿ’ก Hero order doesnโ€™t matter โ€” all 4 apply!

  • ๐Ÿน Your Own Troops

    • Must send at least 1

    • Can send up to your full deployment capacity

    • ๐Ÿ’ฅ Troop tier matters, higher tier = stronger base stats

  • ๐Ÿง  Rally Capacity

    • From your Command Centre ๐Ÿ—๏ธ

    • Sets the troop limit for how many joiners can enter

  • โš”๏ธ Troop Composition Affects Simulation

    • Balance of Infantry ๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ, Cavalry ๐ŸŽ, and Archers ๐Ÿน changes combat outcome


โ— LEADER TIPS:

โœ… Use high-tier troops โ€” they benefit most from your buffs
โœ… Pick 3 heroes that bring powerful, stackable team-wide effects
โœ… Check the Rally Info Panel (in War tab โ†’ rally flag)
โœ… If someone messes up (wrong troop type, bad hero skill) โ€” you can KICK them
โœ… Donโ€™t lead if your buffs/heroes are bad. Let someone stronger take the lead!


๐Ÿค RALLY JOINER โ€” YOUR ROLE & HOW TO NOT RUIN THE RALLY

You might think you’re just sending troops… but you also bring one skill, and if itโ€™s wrong, you can mess up the entire rally ๐Ÿ˜ฌ


โœ… WHAT YOU CONTRIBUTE:
  • ๐Ÿช– Your troops (march size and tier matter)

  • ๐Ÿฆธโ€โ™€๏ธ ONE Hero Skill Only:

    • Only the first hero slotโ€™s top-right expedition skill counts

    • This hero has a green flag = your Hero Captain

    • That top-right skill is your Priority Expedition Skill

  • ๐Ÿ“ˆ Your 2nd & 3rd heroes = only used to increase troop limit โ€” they donโ€™t provide buffs


โŒ WHAT YOU DONโ€™T CONTRIBUTE:

  • โŒ No gear buffs

  • โŒ No research

  • โŒ No pet/skin/consumables

  • โŒ No extra skills โ€” only that ONE skill is used

  • โŒ Your own buffs donโ€™t apply โ€” only the leaderโ€™s do


๐Ÿงช RALLY SKILL SELECTION (How Your Skill Gets Picked)

The game picks only 4 skills total from all joiners โ€” and it does so automatically.


๐Ÿ“Š HOW THE GAME PICKS:
  1. Checks the top-right skill of your first hero

  2. Compares it to other joinersโ€™ priority skills

  3. Chooses 4 highest-level skills (not heroes โ€” just skill levels!)

  4. If there are more than 4 at the same level, the game takes the earliest 4 joiners


โš ๏ธ BUMPING LOGIC:

If someone joins later with a higher-level skill, they bump out a weaker skill โ€” even if that player joined earlier!
It doesnโ€™t matter how strong your hero is โ€” only that skill level counts.


โœ… HOW TO AVOID BUMPING MISTAKES:
  • โœ… So what happens if someone joins with a higherโ€‘tier hero but their first skill is lowerโ€‘level?
    • Their hero tier (how โ€œstrongโ€ the hero is overall) doesnโ€™t directly matter for this selection โ€” what matters is the level of that first expedition skill of the first hero slot.

    • If their first skill level is lower than the current topโ€‘4 skills, they will not secure a slot.

    • If their first skill level is higher than someone whoโ€™s already in the topโ€‘4, they can bump that person out.

    So yes โ€” even if a later joiner has a โ€œstrong heroโ€ but their first skill is lower level, they will not bump someone who has a higher first skill. Itโ€™s all about that specific first skill level for joiners.


๐Ÿ“ˆ WHICH HERO SKILLS STACK?

Some hero skills stack โ€” others do not. And some of the strongest ones will be ignored if someone brings a duplicate that doesnโ€™t stack.


๐ŸŸข SKILLS THAT STACK (Good to send more than 1):
  • Chenko โ†’ Lethality +%

  • Yeonwoo โ†’ Lethality +%

  • Amane โ†’ Attack +%

๐Ÿ”ด SKILLS THAT DO NOT STACK (Only one will apply):
  • Marlin / Zoey / Petra โ†’ Enchant-based buffs

  • Jabel / Helga โ†’ Chance-based buffs


๐Ÿ“‹ GOOD HEROES TO SEND AS JOINERS

๐Ÿ”ฅ For OFFENSIVE RALLIES:
  • Chenko, Yeonwoo โ†’ Lethality Boosters

  • Amane, Hilda โ†’ Attack Boosters

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ For DEFENSIVE RALLIES:
  • Gordon โ†’ Health +% ๐Ÿ’š

  • Howard / Quinn (No Deferent) โ†’ Damage Reduction

  • Saul โ†’ HP + DEF buff

  • Fahad โ†’ Enemy Damage Down

  • Eric โ†’ Enemy Attack Down

  • โš ๏ธ Avoid chance-based heroes unless coordinated


๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ DEFENSIVE RALLIES โ€” HOW THEY REALLY WORK

This is where most players are confused. Defensive rallies (aka garrisons) donโ€™t work exactly like offensive ones. Letโ€™s fix that ๐Ÿ‘‡


๐Ÿฐ WHOโ€™S WHO IN DEFENSE?
  • ๐Ÿ‘‘ Garrison Captain = Owns the building, invites reinforcements, and can kick players

  • ๐Ÿ’ช Rally Leader = Has the highest stats (can be different from the captain!)

    • Leader provides all buffs, troop stats, and hero skills

  • ๐Ÿ‘ฅ Joiners = Same rules apply โ€” only the top-right skill of the first hero matters


๐Ÿง  KEY DEFENSE RULES:
  • The highest stat player in Garrison becomes the rally leader

  • The captain manages the troop limit and the invite/kick options

  • Joiner skill rules stay the same: only 4 total, picked by skill level


๐Ÿงฐ DEFENSE-ONLY TRICKS:
  • โœ… You can shuffle joiner order by changing the garrison captain โ€” useful to drop bad skills to the bottom without kicking

  • โœ… You can send another march to top up your garrison troops without removing your first

  • โœ… Troop priority = Infantry > Cavalry > Archers

  • โœ… Troop ratio for defence: More Infantry = better survivability


โš ๏ธ DEFENSE MISTAKES TO AVOID:
  • โŒ Letting an unexpected whale join last and hijack the leader role

  • โŒ Using offensive heroes in the defence rally (wrong buffs)

  • โŒ Weak troop tier or bad troop ratio

  • โŒ Letting weak or unstackable skills block better ones

  • โŒ Not using defensive skill heroes (Gordon, Saul, Quinn, etc.)


๐Ÿ’ฅ ADVANCED RALLY STRATEGY

๐Ÿ’ก Smart teams will do this:

  1. First 4 joiners = all offence heroes

  2. After capture โ†’ shuffle joiners or captain โ†’ switch to defensive buffs

  3. Then reinforce with health/defence-focused joiners (e.g., Gordon, Eric, Quinn)

You hit hard ๐Ÿ‘‰ then hold strong ๐Ÿ‘Š


๐Ÿ”ฅ QUICK FIRE DOs & DONโ€™Ts

โœ… DO:
  • Bring high-level top-right skills

  • Join early only if your skill is strong

  • Use Inf/Cav/Archer balance wisely

  • Check the rally flag info tab!

  • Communicate and coordinate rally roles


โŒ DONโ€™T:
  • Send weak or irrelevant hero skills

  • Join with low-tier troops

  • Assume your gear/research helps โ€” it doesnโ€™t

  • Block good skills with bad ones

  • Join with โ€œchance-basedโ€ heroes unless coordinated


๐Ÿงจ Offensive Rally Joiners Hero Priority

  1. Amadeus / Chenko / Yeonwoo
  2. Amane
  3. Hilde

The Heroes written in the same line, there is no difference between them in stats if they have the same skill levels.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Defensive Rally Joiners Hero Priority

There are no Stats and proof in the defensive section, and all are based on the other resources, and you can mix and match

  1. Gordon

  2. Howard / Quinn

  3. Saul

  4. Fahad

  5. Eric


๐Ÿ FINAL THOUGHTS

๐ŸŽฏ Understand your role.
๐ŸŽฏ Use the right heroes.
๐ŸŽฏ Be the reason your rally wins โ€” not the reason it fails.
