Banner of triumph

Defensive

A useful glory multiplier for defensive players, but only as a supplement to real defense, never instead of it.

Quick overview

TypeDefensive

The Triumph Banner is a defensive tool that increases the number of glory points earned in battle. On its own, it won't help you defend your castle even a little; its only job is to stretch your points from repelled attacks. If you are collecting leaderboard points and playing defensively, this is exactly the tool you want to have deployed. For a purely defensive player aiming for positions in the glory leaderboard, it is a small but pleasant multiplier.

How to use it

Deploy it in defense when you know enemies are coming for you, and you want to maximize your gains. It makes sense mainly during actions and events focused on glory, where every point counts towards the leaderboard or rewards. When you are waiting for a wave of attacks on your main castle, throw it into your defensive setup in advance to increase your yield from each won battle. During a quiet period when no one is targeting your castle, feel free to leave it aside and save it for the moment when a real fight occurs.

What to combine it with

It belongs to a full defensive setup alongside tools that actually hold the walls and kill the attackers' units. It won't defend you on its own, so never use it instead of real defense, but only as a supplement to it. It works best with a commander focused on defense and with defensive tools on walls and gates, where you first ensure that you repel the attack, and then the Triumph Banner will stretch your profit from that won battle.

Pro player tipKeep a stock of these banners for glory events and deploy them strategically where you know you can hold the defense. You only get extra points from the battle you withstand, so there's no point in wasting the banner on a defense you know you won't hold. It's better to save it for a situation where you can maximize your gains from repelled enemies.
Common mistakeThe most common mistake is treating the Triumph Banner as a tool that will keep you alive. It cannot do that. Players throw it into their setup and then wonder why their castle fell, because they replaced real defense with just a multiplier. Another classic mistake is leaving it unnecessarily hanging in the setup during quiet times when no one is attacking, and then not having it on hand during an event where it would really come in handy.
