Troops

As a new Chief, having troops in your army becomes increasingly crucial against the infected and other Chiefs in the outset of your state. Troops are what you employ in the wilderness to kill infected, rally infected fiends with allies, gather resources, attack and defend settlements, analysis centers, bunkers, and facilities, as well as during Capital Clash and SVS (State versus State). Effective management of all troops can make them helpful in combat. There are two methods in the game for increasing the size of your army: rescuing and training. Rescue through settlement clean up and through Intel. Use the discovered Training Facilities to train and/or upgrade your troops. Infantry is trained in the Barracks, Hunters in the Range and Riders in the Garage.

Infantry[]

Infantry is a type of troop that fights on the front lines. Infantry are your damage-absorbing troops. When you attack or are being attacked, they are the first troop to be affected. Infantry consists of Shields and Shotguns troops that come from the Barracks. They are designed to resist a lot of damage yet are incapable of dealing it efficiently. During battles, they are the unit that keeps your other troops, riders and hunters, safe. Usually people with use a 70%, 60% or 40% configuration in their troops formations during battles, except for Influencer Trap.

The infantry is divided into two sub-units:

Shotguns: Increase infantry defense against Riders.
Shields: Increase infantry defense against Hunters.

Riders[]

Rider consists of ATVs and Bikers. ATVs deal more damage against infantry, while bikers deal more damage against hunters. They can sometimes bypass Infantry to cause Damage against Hunters directly. Riders are trained in the Garage. They are frequently seen as ineffective. However, in marches, a significant proportion is always utilized. People usually will send around 10% or 20% of their riders on a march. but it might differ to each player's play style.

ATVs: ATVs cause more damage against infantry.
Bikers: bikers deal more damage on hunters. They may sometimes skip infantry to deal direct damage on hunters.

Hunters[]

Hunters consist of Bows and Snipers. Hunters are the key of damage. Bows deal more damage against infantry, while Snipers deal more damage to Riders. They sometimes bypass infantry troops in order to deal direct damage against riders. Hunters trained in Range. In a battle, they are the final unit to be attacked. Since they have very low health and defense, make sure your hunters are well-protected by infantry; else, they will perish rapidly. Hunters, like the rest, are divided into two sub-units:

Bows: bows deal more damage against infantry .
Snipers: snipers do more damage to riders. They can sometimes bypass infantry to direct damage riders.

To unlock higher-tier troops, players must first update the headquarters, followed by the barracks, range, and garage, as well as ensure that all essential buildings are up to date. However, tier 11 is an exception because it will be required to complete all plasma research. To do so, players should first unlock the Institute of Plasma Building. More information regarding T11 can be found here.

Ways to Increase Troop Stats[]

In addition to increasing the tier and plasma level of troops, stats can be increased by using the War talents in the Chief Talents and by completing research in both the Research Lab and the Institute of Plasma.
