**Planner result for Gen 12 (equal gear): against a 60/40/0 garrison, a ratio some guides name for castle garrisons, attack with 50/0/50 (infantry/lancer/marksman) and rally leaders Hervor, Karol, Ligeia. Against an infantry wall (70/10/20) use 38/2/60; against a balanced garrison (50/5/45) use 45/4/51 with rally leaders Hervor, Karol, Ligeia and joiners Reina, Mia, Norah, Bradley; against a marksman wall (20/10/70) use 56/44/0; against a lancer-heavy garrison (20/55/25) use 69/2/29. All six garrison types are in the table below.**

## Best attack formation for each garrison type (Gen 12)

| Garrison type | Garrison split (Inf/Lan/Mm) | Your split (Inf/Lan/Mm) | Rally leader heroes (Inf / Lan / Mm) | Joiner first skills |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **Infantry wall** | 70/10/20 | **38/2/60** | Hervor / Karol / Ligeia | Reina, Jeronimo, Mia, Bradley |
| **Infantry-heavy** | 55/15/30 | **45/2/52** | Hervor / Karol / Ligeia | Reina, Mia, Jeronimo, Norah |
| **Balanced** | 50/5/45 | **45/4/51** | Hervor / Karol / Ligeia | Reina, Mia, Norah, Bradley |
| **Lancer-heavy** | 20/55/25 | **69/2/29** | Hervor / Karol / Ligeia | Reina, Mia, Bradley, Norah |
| **Marksman wall** | 20/10/70 | **56/44/0** | Hervor / Renee / Bradley | Hendrick, Mia, Reina, Jeronimo |

## How to use this table

- Find the garrison's troop split (infantry / lancer / marksman) and pick the closest row. Rough match, not a planner result: a 60/20/20 garrison is closest to the Infantry-heavy row; 60/30/10 and 70/30/0 garrisons are closest to the No marksmen row (60/40/0). Enter the exact split in the planner for a precise answer.
- Rows with 0% of a troop type: some Bear Trap and Labyrinth guides keep 3-5% of each type so that hero's skills trigger; no castle source confirms this, so check it on your own battle report.
- Send your troops in the split shown. It leans on the troop type that counters the garrison's main troops: Infantry beats Lancer, Lancer beats Marksman, Marksman beats Infantry.
- The rally leader's three heroes (infantry, lancer, marksman) are picked together as a team: they use all their expedition skills and the exclusive weapon.
- Each joiner adds only the first expedition skill of their first hero, and only the 4 joiners with the highest first-skill level count. Duplicates are allowed. The joiners shown fit the split in each row, so they can differ slightly from the general ranking in the joiners guide.
- These are baseline answers for a full roster and equal gear. Open the planner at the top of this page for your exact enemy, heroes and troop tier.
