Best Commander Tips for New Players
Attacking Barbarians In The Wild
You can use your Commanders to lead your troops to attack the Barbarians in the wild.
It costs 50 Action Point to attack a target so in order to efficiently use your Action Points, you should not let your commanders return Home before killing the target. Additionally, keeping attacking Barbarians without returning home reduces 2 Action Point per consecutive attack.
Attacking Barbarians is by far the best way to spend your Action Points.
By attacking Barbarians, you will gain lots of XP and resource items. In addition, you will also get the Tome of Knowledge and
Arrow of Resistance here. Meaning you can level up your Commanders via 2 ways by defeating Barbarians.
Sending 2 battalions is the best way of farming Barbarians as it gives you x2 EXP in total so you don’t need to do marching again for another different Barbarians with the same level.

Best Ways to Level Up your Commanders
- Farming Barbarians.
- Fighting Sanctum Guardians. This will give you the highest amount of XP in game without the cost of Action Points.
- Sending multiple groups to attack the same target. You will multiply the XP and rewards.
- Using

Barbarian Forts

Remember that, attacking Barbarian Forts
- Does not give you any XP point.
- Gives you better rewards than attacking normal Barbbarians.
- Gives you the chance of attacking Keys and Gems.
