Infinity Kingdom Guide: Troops

05/09/2020

Today we will introduce you the 4 different troop types in Infinity Kingdom:

Shieldmen, Cavalry, Spearmen and Bowmen. Each type of troops has 5 tiers (Light – Royal). High-tier troops are more powerful, but their training requires more time and resources.

 

1. Counter Relations between different troop types

 

Counter Relations between the 4 troop types: Shieldmen counter Spearmen, Spearmen counter Cavalry, Cavalry counter Shieldmen. Bowmen do not counter nor are countered by any other troop types.

 

The counter relations will affect the damage done to a unit. When a unit is attacked by a countered enemy, they receive 25% less damage. Let’s say your Cavalry unit is fighting an enemy Shieldmen unit, as the Cavalry counters Shieldmen, your unit receives 75% damage from the enemy basic attacks. Please note that troop tiers will not modify the countering/countered effect, a tier 5 Shieldmen unit can be countered by a tier 1 Cavalry unit. But the final damage will depend on the unit stats and unit size.

 

2. Troop Type Analysis

 

Different types of troop have different attributes and require different numbers of resources for training. You can see below the basic attributes for the 4 types of troops.

 

You can find the basic attributes for tier 1 troops below:

 

Light Shieldmen: Shieldmen’s attack is relatively low, but their high defense and HP make them suitable for drawing enemy attacks.

 

Light Cavalry: Cavalry unit has nice attack and defense, and the highest HP of among all troops. This make them the best assault unit in the game.

 

Light Spearmen: Spearmen have lower defense and HP than the Shieldmen but their attack is slightly higher. But they are useful for countering Cavalry units.

 

Light Bowmen: Bowmen have the highest attack and the lowest defense and HP. You should always place your Bowmen units in the back to keep them safe.

 

 

3. Troop Upgrades

 

There are 2 ways to upgrade a type of troops. First is to improve their attributes, the second is to increase their tier. Researches, lord talents can improve the troop’s HP, Attack and Defense.

 

You can unlock a higher troop tier by completing the corresponding research in the Academy. The higher the troop tier, the higher their attributes will be. By adopting the right formation, your army will become stronger than ever before.
