Overview

Displayed power alone does not decide a PvP fight. Compare both sides through five layers before deciding why one march performed better.

Five layers to check

  • Troop foundation: compare troop count, tier, and level. Together, these form Total Troop Power (TTP).
  • Troop ratio: Fighters protect the march, Riders provide flexible support and damage, and Gunners deal heavy damage.
  • Combat stats: compare troop-specific Health, Defense, Attack, and Lethality instead of one isolated percentage.
  • Enforcers: check all three heroes and whether their battle skills support your troop mix.
  • Buffs and capacity: note active bonuses and how many troops each side could send.

Use this checklist when a result surprises you. The complete guide explains each layer, shows a comparison example, and gives you a repeatable way to review your next battle report.
