[MONGOLS] Command An Army Tier List

Editorial roles for troops with enough creator agreement to sort. Not an official ranking, and useless if the star cap cannot afford the troop.

How to read the boards

Frontline, ranged, cavalry and anti-shield are separate jobs. A troop in S that costs 4 stars is the wrong pick at an 8-star cap. Mongol battle-pass troops and Morningstar are documented on unit pages instead of ranked, because the public combat notes still disagree.

Which [MONGOLS] Command An Army boards are on this hub?

Two jobs, two lists. Open a child page for the long table. This hub is the snapshot.

Tierranged4 ranked rows.Tiercavalry3 ranked rows.Tieranti-shield3 ranked rows.Tierfrontline6 ranked rows.

S tier

rangedFlaming ArchersThird step of Archer, also called Flame Archer and Fire Archer. It is the burn unit in the ranged line. Coverage of the September 13 pass says its range was cut and that burn then affected players as well as NPCs. Reported star cost is 3.

Player decision The evolution most guides tell you to finish first if you already use archers. Aim them at a lane, and do not walk them into cavalry.

cavalryLancerEnd of Scout Rider, via Cavalryman. Widely described as the only 4-star you can reach by evolving rather than summoning. It is a charge troop into archers and a bad charge into spears or halberds. One map guide says it cannot climb walls.

Player decision Plan the whole line if you like flanks. Charge after something else has hit the line, then leave. Do not pick it for a defense point you have to climb.

anti-shieldSamuraiFour-star summon with no evolution. Guides call it the high-damage answer to stacked shields and a bad troop into focused archers. One roster note says it fields 16 soldiers. Published rates cluster at 0.06 percent, not the higher Spartan rate.

Player decision Bring it to open a shield ball, and keep a frontline in front of it. Do not treat the pull as something a small Gem budget guarantees.

frontlineSpartanFour-star spear elite and the defensive anchor most creator guides build around. Circle formation is the state they tell you to hold. It has no evolution, so investment is ascension and the skill tree only.

Player decision Use it when the star cap can afford 4 and you need a point held. Do not auto-charge it into fresh reinforcements. Block durability was reported cut from 110 to 100 on September 21; recheck the card.

A tier

rangedCrossbowmanThree-star ranged summon. Guides give it a good matchup into valuable melee and a bad one into cavalry or Flaming Archers.

Player decision Slot it when the enemy is a melee ball and you still have star room. It is the wrong flex if Lancers are already on the field.

anti-shieldMaceThree-star shield breaker with block damage and, before Update 3, no evolution. Update coverage now gives it a Morningstar evolution at a reported 4 stars. It is a standard answer to Spartan formations.

Player decision Equip Mace when shields are the problem and 3 stars fit. Evolve to Morningstar only after you have read the new star cost; 4 stars changes the loadout.

cavalryScout RiderTwo-star cavalry and the start of the Lancer line. Used to reach a flank and to check the point in the first seconds. Several September rate tables put it near 20 percent.

Player decision Best early flex and the correct troop to level if Lancer is the goal. Do not charge halberds or a ready spear line.

frontlineSpear VanguardEvolution of Spear Militia. Creators describe it as faster than Imperial Wall with longer reach and less block, and as one of the evolutions worth the copies.

Player decision Prefer it over a raw shield stack when you still need to move between entrances. Confirm the 3-star cost on the card before you evolve into a cap you cannot afford.

cavalryCavalrymanMiddle step from Scout Rider to Lancer, reported at 3 stars. Stronger charge than the scout, more expensive, and not the final form.

Player decision Evolve into it only when 3 stars still fits. Stopping here is fine on a tight cap; Lancer can wait.

rangedElite JavelineerEvolution of Javelineer. After the reported September 13 rework, javelins ignore shield damage reduction, which is why this line is the anti-shield ranged answer. Star cost is described as 3, which is awkward beside other 3-star carries.

Player decision Bring it to crack a shield wall when you cannot also fit Mace. Skip the line if a creator's 'waste of time' note matches your own games; that verdict is one ranking, not a patch note.

anti-shieldHalberdierAlso written Halberder. High block damage into shields and Spartans, and a stop for cavalry that charges it. Star cost is disputed between 1 and 2. Archers are the listed answer to it. Evolves to Imperial Halberdier, whose cost is not settled.

Player decision Use the card's star number, not a wiki guess. Strong into shields, poor as your only troop if Flaming Archers are already shooting.

frontlineImperial WallEnd of the Shieldman line. Creator guides credit it with very high arrow resistance and the shortest reach in the game, so almost anything can walk into it.

Player decision Best on a single choke where the enemy has to shoot into the shield. Weak choice if you need to chase a flank.

frontlineImmortalFour-star summon with no evolution. Guides describe high durability for frontal pushes and mixed NPC and shield fights. Pull rates in public tables are 0.19 percent or 0.08 percent depending on the list.

Player decision A frontline buy when you hit the summon, not a troop you evolve toward. Check the rate on the banner you are actually pulling.

B tier

rangedArcherOne-star starter and the first step toward Flaming Archers. An early card lists about 300 range. The troop is the leveling tool several guides recommend because the unit that gets the kill is the unit that gains experience.

Player decision Field it early, level it on purpose, and evolve only after ascension copies are ready. Do not judge the line by the 1-star form.

frontlineShieldmanOne-star starter shield. Early stat notes agree on very high block and disagree on health, so health is not listed here. It evolves toward Imperial Wall.

Player decision Correct first frontline while the cap is small. Replace the job, not the whole army, when Sentinel or Imperial Wall fits.

C tier

frontlineBerserkerFour-star summon that community guides call the frailest of the launch 4-stars: fast attacks, poor against ranged fire, and a bad head-on into Spartan. One summon-screen reading put it at 0.15 percent.

Player decision Do not chase it ahead of Spartan, Samurai or a finished evolution line unless you like the playstyle. It has no evolution to fix the frailty.

Is this the ranked ladder?

No. It is an editorial sort of jobs that several September and October guides repeat. Your Units menu and the last match matter more than the letter.
