At a glance
each at a different level, each handling one promotion step.
Example of a full waterfall: train level 5 and promote up to level 9.
The right time to run it: the Soldier Training day of the Alliance Duel.
The idea
Instead of upgrading all your barracks to the same level, you stagger them. You train low-level soldiers, then move them from one barracks to the next: each barracks handles a single promotion.
- Prepare: train level 5 soldiers in any barracks that can.
- 1st promotion: Lv.5 → 6 in the level 17 barracks.
- 2nd promotion: Lv.6 → 7 in the level 20 barracks.
- 3rd promotion: Lv.7 → 8 in the level 24 barracks.
- 4th promotion: Lv.8 → 9 in the level 27 barracks.
Which barracks for your Castle
Barracks levels are minimums. You can raise a barracks higher within its tier for more capacity.
| Castle | Highest troop | Train first | Barracks (levels) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lv.10 to 13 | Lv.4 | Lv.1 | 3 / 6 / 10 |
| Lv.14 to 16 | Lv.5 | Lv.1 | 3 / 6 / 10 / 14 |
| Lv.17 to 19 | Lv.6 | Lv.2 | 6 / 10 / 14 / 17 |
| Lv.20 to 23 | Lv.7 | Lv.3 | 10 / 14 / 17 / 20 |
| Lv.24 to 26 | Lv.8 | Lv.4 | 14 / 17 / 20 / 24 |
| Lv.27 to 30 | Lv.9 (10 with research) | Lv.5 | 17 / 20 / 24 / 27 |
Before Castle level 10: barracks unlock at Castle 2, then you have one level 3 barracks (Castle 3 to 5), then 3 / 6 (Castle 6 to 9).
Day 5, minute by minute
Promoting a soldier by one level should score as much as training a soldier of that level: the same soldier going Lv.6 → 7 → 8 → 9 then pays four times.
- Monday to Thursday: train the base (level 5) nonstop, no speedups. If the troop limit is reached, training stops but promotions keep going.
- Friday, before starting: request the Royal Marshal favor.
- Start all four promotions at once: 5 → 6, 6 → 7, 7 → 8 and 8 → 9, each in its own barracks.
- Speed up, making sure nothing finishes in the last 5 minutes before the reset.
