Breakdown & summary:

Troop Comparison & Summary! -- Including Ninja Troops AND New Magic Troops

Stat Progression Most are familiar with the existing graphics showing the L1->L30 stat progression of the Crit & Mana troops in game. The below now also has the stat progression of the Ninja Troop and the new Magic Troops. [Updated Troop Progression] Note: Updatd to include new “magic” troops; still verifying. Best Use This is a little more conjecture & HIGHLY roster dependent so I will try to keep things pretty general. NOTE: This is mostly my opinion where there is no maths presented …

Guvs Advice:

@Guvnor

Personally I have stopped mine at L23, due to the exhorbitant cost to take them to L29 (and also comparatively smaller benefit).

A fast hero already charges at 8 tiles. Getting the Average to 9 tiles means that (more often than not) the Average & Fast heroes in my team charge at the same time.

My war teams I also tend to build around two premises:

1. Having a cleanser on each team
2. Having heroes who are all mana charging at same/ similar times… So for me, dropping a Fast down to 7 tiles doesn’t really yield much benefit if the supportnig heroes for that sniper are not yet ready (e.g. Lepus charging in 7 doesn’t have much benefit if I have to wait for King Arthur to charge at 9 anyways).

My personal strategy has been:

• Mana to L17
• Crit to L10
• Mana #2 to L11
• Mana #1 to L23
• Mana #3 to L11

After that I plan to:

• Ninja to L10
• Mana #2 to L23
• Mana #3 to L17 (slow break)
• Mana #1 to L29 (maybe)

Regarding troops for defence, I also think that the difference between a L23 and L30 mana troop is fairly minor in the end. I don’t have any L30 troops but my defence team is one of the top 5 performers. The heroes make more of an impact than the troops do.
