First session

  1. Do these before you chase a 4-star — The match is attack or defend, with up to 12 players. Your troops matter more than your commander skin.
  2. Finish the tutorial — Pick Sword & Shield unless you already know you want to flank. The class does not change which troops you can equip.
  3. Redeem codes — Enter the seven October codes first. Older strings are still listed, and the game message is the authority.
  4. Build four jobs — Shield, spear, archer and a scout, trimmed to the star number on the Units menu.
  5. Save duplicate copies — Ascension spends copies. Evolution comes after level 20.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What decides which troops I can bring?

Two limits apply together: a small number of equipped entries, described as four in current guides and as three until account level 15 in one early guide, and a combined star cost. Read both numbers in your Units menu. A troop you own still will not equip if it pushes the total over the cap.

Which codes should I try first?

Start with GUILDFIX, MONGOLS, OCTOBER3, SATURDAY, LAESTRYGONIAN, UPDATE3 and SKILLTREE. Those seven are the strings an October 5 list and an October 6 list both treat as working. Older strings are on the codes page because the October 5 list still printed them. If the game rejects one, that account result wins.

How do I evolve a unit?

Level that unit to 20 by getting kills with it, ascend it with duplicate copies, then use the Evolve podium. Only some lines evolve. Spartan, Samurai, Berserker and Immortal have no evolution in the pre-Mongol roster. Update 3 coverage adds Mace to Morningstar and Pikeman to Phalangite.

Does my class change my army?

No. Assassin, Sword & Shield and Hammer change how your commander fights. The four equipped troops stay the same. A written beginner guide and a class video both put a class change at 50 Gems. An Archer player class is announced for the October 17-24 2026 event window and is not described as live before that.

Where do the Mongol troops come from?

The official Mongols event lists a Season 1 battle pass with Nokor (3 stars), Bataar (3 stars) and Khorchin (4 stars). Update coverage says those three are pass rewards, not standard banner pulls. Laestrygonian and Myrmidon are separate reported summons.
