Regular members turn rally-lead stats into effective combat by sending the correct hero, troop count, and formation.
Basics
Save separate attack-joiner and defensive-reinforcement presets. Join only assigned rallies, use the required Slot 1 hero, and follow troop instructions. Current community testing indicates that a joiner contributes the first Expedition skill of the Slot 1 hero; effective high-level joiner skills are selected, and duplicate skills can stack. Verify the active skills shown in the rally interface.
Reinforce only after your alliance owns the Castle and follow the garrison command. Castle and turret actions can affect shield status, so protect your city before marching.
Advanced play
Score through kills, occupation, and casualties in meaningful fights. Respect the SvS Furnace-level scoring gate. Heal in small batches with alliance help, keep Infirmary space open, protect exposed rally-lead cities when assigned, and re-shield after Castle combat while the full Battle Phase remains active.
