Build a good army

Why: the right trio + the right troop type can win a fight that looked lost.

What helps directly

Composition

Let the whole army benefit from the best aura

Put the dragon whose aura helps everyone the most at the Center (usually a Champion, their aura is the strongest): the Center spreads its aura to the whole army.

Composition

Play a single troop type, the most leveled one

Pick the type you've upgraded the most (pikemen, archers…), and put dragons on it that are GREEN affinity for this type (in green they gain a bonus, in red they're penalized).

Habits

Make your whole trio hit harder

Slip a dragon into the army that lowers enemy defenses: it boosts the other two at the same time.

Composition

Have your armies ready before you set out

You can't reshape them once launched: prepare your 5 armies at the castle in advance.
