Generals

Generals were introduced to the game in the October 2022 update and are available from level 10. They brought a completely new system of skills, abilities, and experience that can be endlessly improved using shards. Lord Horatio is always available for free, while other generals are unlocked and upgraded gradually.

Generals

Where to find generals and how they work

You manage generals in the generals overview (Generals overview) at the bottom of the screen, or through the Encampment. There is also the Generals' inn, where you offer offerings to patrons and collect shards from draws for unlocking and upgrading.

Each general has 10 stars and a maximum of 100 levels/points. Progress is shown by stars and level on the avatar. To advance to a higher star level, you need shards of that specific general, each has its own. Currently (according to the December 2025 update), there are 16 generals in the game: Lord Horatio (always free), Alyssa, Leo, Toril, Sasaki, Tizi, Tom, Alice, Hasan, Diana, Valenta, Garrik, Kaelrith, Edric, Barin, and Ashira.

Experience and leveling

XP is collected through battles, but with a catch: the general only receives XP for the first 20 attacks per day, and even within these 20 attacks, you receive progressively less and less. At lower levels, you can gain approximately 1 level for Horatio every 3 days.

  • At levels 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, and 90, XP stops.
  • To continue further, you must provide shards of that general for the respective star level.
  • Shards can be purchased as offerings, collected in events, or obtained from free draws.

Free draws do not accumulate; you must use them when available to trigger the countdown for the next free draw.

Skills and abilities

In the skill tree, you choose what your general can do. Each level of the general equals 1 point, and points are spent on unlocking skills. Abilities are unlocked through skills, and in their menu, you choose what the general should do during an attack and defense.

If you want to rearrange skills, you need a Generals skill reset token. It costs 2250 rubies each, or you can win it from draws. Each general has its own unique set of skills, so it pays off to think about the build according to the role.

Offerings and the inn

In the Generals' inn, you give offerings to patrons and participate in the raffle. Each draw provides four rewards, with the most valuable being the generals' shards. The draw can also provide XP for the general for faster leveling.

  • Main offerings (before the 2025 updates): Offering to Ludwig (for Alyssa and Leo, rare), Offering to Ulrich (for Horatio, epic), Offering to Beatrice (for Toril, legendary), and a Sasaki version for Sasaki.
  • As of September 2023, you can offer up to 100 offerings at once; the minimum for bulk offering is 3 offerings.

General Ulrich is also your military advisor from the start of the game (along with the economic advisor Eric). In the inn, you give him offerings for rewards from the draws.

Pro player tipDaily XP is capped at the first 20 attacks and decreases even within them. Plan these attacks so that they are worth it; there is no point in wasting extra attacks for XP. Save the skill reset for 2250 rubies until you are sure of your target build.
Common mistakeSpreading shards among too many generals. Shards are tied to a specific general, and star levels are expensive, so it's better to focus on a few key generals than to have fifteen half-finished ones.
