Quick answer: The attack planner and all guide pages are free. Full guide and tables below ↓
New here? How it works

Counters and captains built against the exact enemy wall you face. Buffs of the same category add; different categories multiply — so unique buffs win. The rally leader's 3 heroes use all their expedition skills + weapon; each joiner counts only its first hero's first (top-right) skill.

📊 Predict a battle before you fight
Load your attack or defense plan, then set troops (the garrison count for the enemy), gem buffs, pets and experts. Exact report stats are optional.
📘 Joiners guide — which first skill to send
In a rally only each joiner's FIRST hero counts, and only the 4 joiners with the highest first-skill level (ties go to whoever joined first). Send the hero whose first skill adds a buff category the leaders do not already have: the same category adds, different categories multiply. Ranked here as the first joiner added to the best leader trio of your generation.
🐻 Bear trap formations — best marksman Attack & Lethality per generation
Bear trap is a pure damage race: no need to survive. Rally leaders send 10/10/80 (infantry/lancer/marksman) and joiners send mostly marksmen (90-100%). Heroes are picked to maximize marksman damage (Attack and Lethality first, then the buffs that multiply with them): the leader's three heroes use all skills and weapons, each joiner counts only the first hero's first skill.
Leader march 10/10/80 · Joiners 90-100% marksmen

The attack planner and all guide pages are free. The defense planner, the battle predictor and the no-duplicate joiner lists need a license: a Personal license costs $15 per year for up to 3 devices, and a State license costs $60 per year for up to 50 devices (one key for a whole state, usually bought by an R4 or R5). Licenses are sold through Lemon Squeezy.

What is free

  • The attack planner for Gen 1-16 and every garrison type.
  • All guide pages: the best formation for each generation, the 60/40/0 formation, garrison defense, troop ratio, Sunfire Castle, the bear trap guide and the joiner rankings.
  • The data file /data/formations.json and the markdown version of every page.

What needs a license

  • The defense planner.
  • The battle predictor.
  • The no-duplicate joiner lists (a different hero for every joiner slot, with backups) in the joiners guide.

These tabs show a license screen until a license key is activated. Everything else works without a key.
