Choose heroes with Expedition Skills that boost troop attack or lethality. Avoid healing, debuff, and gathering skills for rally leaders. Use your best gear and buffs.

RALLY JOINERS

Only the first hero matters

For rally joiners, only the first Expedition Skill of the first hero counts.
  • Avoid heroes with irrelevant or random buffs because they can overwrite a useful one.
  • If no suitable hero is available, send troops only or use a hero with a low-level Expedition Skill.

DAMAGE STRATEGY

Remove wasted time

Marksman-heavy formations, active buffs, and short marches create more damage opportunities in the same 30 minutes.
  • Rally leaders should use Marksman-heavy formations from the table.
  • Equip mythic gear and activate VIP, pet, research, and Daybreak Island buffs.
  • Place the trap centrally and keep march times under 30 seconds to avoid joiner delays.
  • Join rallies quickly and use the correct hero skills so useful buffs are not overwritten.
  • Test multiple troop formations and hero combinations to find your highest personal damage.
