- Speed: faster march speed for attacks and rallies.
- Combat: direct buffs to attack, defense, and HP.
The Swap Strategy
You are not locked into one choice forever. Most experienced players use a hybrid approach based on their account stage and current goals.
Stay Harvest Lord. You need the economy to reach Castle 40.
Stay Harvest for daily play. Swap to War Lord during KvK or major wars, then swap back when the pressure ends.
Resetting talents is often free or costs only a small amount of diamonds. Switch when your goals change.
