Battlefield Impact
Cap Is Huge
Morale can scale all the way into a 300 percent damage bonus, which is why soldier count and upgrades matter so much in close fights.
Army Size Matters
Morale scales with march size, so losing soldiers during a fight can drag your output down in real time.

How to Boost Morale
Troop Tier
T11 troops have significantly higher base morale than T10. Prioritize Brilliance Institute research.
March Size
Upgrade Hero Levels, Faction Statues, and Research. More bodies means a higher total score.

Concerto Castle and the Drummer troop skin provide direct morale percentage bonuses.
VIP & Titles
VIP 12 gives a permanent march size boost, and king titles can temporarily increase size even more.
Troop Skin Strategy
PvP (Player vs Player)
Samurai Skin
Pure offensive stat boosts.
Heavy Cavalry
Faster PvP march speed. Useful for catching enemies or escaping.
Skeleton Soldier
Unique ability: decreases enemy morale in rallies.
Faction & PvE
Tree Spirit (Nature)
HP boost plus morale when using a full Nature team.
Desert Knight (League)
HP boost plus morale when using a full League team.
Bear Skin (PvE)
Strong general stats for monster hunting.
Pro Strategy: The No Soldier Rally
Want event points without risking your army? This can work for auto-rallies or very weak bosses.
- Open the Hero Selection screen before a rally.
- Manually remove all soldiers by setting the count to 0.
- Deploy only your heroes.
- Result: You get rewards and your heroes still fight, but you take zero casualties.
