Siege is your strongest branch — it tops every other on Attack (+5,861%), Defense (+4,680%) and HP (+4,851%). These are your live defense-battle buffs — the values active when your keep is attacked.
Your siege Attack is already strong (+5,861% in the defense reports). The remaining lever to KILL what your anvil tanks — not just survive — is ~1,600% enemy siege-HP/Def debuff from the Military Academy debuff branches + debuff mayors.
Mandatory on the wall general — a ring/bracer with +15% siege attack range, or enemy siege outranges your anvil and fires first.
6-piece Humility Blazon (siege-defense) + Military Academy (finish in-city/defending siege, then enemy siege HP/Def debuff branches) + best in-city Castle Decoration — the only sources of the "Defending" buff.
Zhou Yu is #1 overall; the cleanest pure-siege main is Takenaka Shigeharu paired with Stephen II. You already own strong wall defenders.
The WALL set: +1,170% total, in-city Def/HP +25%, +50% owned in-city ranged/siege attack. (Heian is for siege ATTACK marches, not the wall.)
Achaemenidae→Parthian debuff gear, siege HP/Def-debuff mayors (Zhu Di, Montezuma I), Russian Epic culture (trap +15%). "Automatic fight for other Cities" ON — and keep troops in each sub or its debuff stops firing.
Nandi (defensive hybrid: ranged/siege atk +104%, in-city ground HP +130%) or Behemoth King (pure siege +52/52/52) on the defender; debuff beasts on the mayors.
Maintain traps for the Russian trap bonus (secondary now). Layer siege: T13 as the thickest damage line, T14 as cover, T9–T11 as supporting depth.
Your Def/HP is already whale-proven (held 161,900,000,000 power). The needle-movers now are offense-side: in-city siege attack, enemy siege HP/Def debuffs, and the +15% siege range bracer — plus flat Def/HP that enemy debuffs can’t halve.

Red rows are unbeaten-against opponents — priority to scout their composition + buffs.
Wall generals: Zhou Yu ✓ Takenaka Shigeharu ✓ Stephen II — need Leo III — need Niccolo Piccinino — need
Debuff mayors: Cimon — need Gilgamesh — need Jan Karol Chodkiewicz — need Zizka — need Baldwin IV — need Flavius Aetius — need
You OWN the top wall generals (Zhou Yu, Takenaka) — your wall is sorted. Your entire remaining general gap is the debuff-mayor network. Owned roster: Ahmose I, Artemisia I, Charles VI, Hatshepsut, Lafayette, Presley O'Bannon, Romulus, Takenaka Shigeharu, Tishtrya, Zhou Yu.
Siege 900–1400 > Ranged 500 > Ground/Mounted ~50 melee. Long range fires first and unanswered while melee closes.
Ground hunts Ranged, Ranged hunts Mounted, Mounted hunts Ground, Siege hunts Siege — each type’s #1 target is the type it counters. Highest tier + biggest stack first.
No fixed round cap (15 is a myth). Battle runs until one side has zero survivors. Win/Loss is a WIPE, not who had more power.
Each tier ≈ +30% ATK/DEF/HP; T1→T14 ≈ 35×. A single tier roughly doubles effective power (12,500 T14 = 100,000 T11).
Each troop type+tier targets ONE enemy type+tier per round. Many populated tiers + thin decoy layers waste the enemy’s rounds on junk while your top tier keeps firing.
Power is a poor predictor. Buffs/debuffs decide fights. In-city buffs ≠ marching buffs; enemy sub-city debuffs collapse your buffs toward a 50% floor.
Push to 9 sub-cities. Mayors vs siege+ranged: Cimon → Gilgamesh → Jan Karol Chodkiewicz → Zizka → Baldwin IV → Flavius Aetius. Debuffs STACK; Achaemenidae/Ares gear on each; keep reinforcement ON.
Jormungandr (Siege HP), Otso (Siege Def), Tarasque (Siege Atk), Chimera (Siege Def), Chrysomallos (Ranged Def) — one each, on top of gear + skill.
Zhou Yu (+4,096%, all types) if 5-star-able, else Takenaka (+3,856%, brings Enemy Siege Atk -10%). Dragon of Thebes on the wall.
+1,170% (Siege Atk +235 / Def +135 / HP +75, +15% range) and it carries 235% enemy debuff. Refine Armor→Helmet→Leg. Heian is for a MARCHING siege attacker only.
Humility (siege) + Sacrifice (ground) + Compassion (ranged); roll substats to Defending Def/HP.
| They lead | Who / why | Your answer |
|---|---|---|
| Siege | Presley O’Bannon — opens at max range on your siege/ranged | Close with mounted/ranged; deepen meat-shield; Fire-Arrow traps (anti-siege); debuff their siege HP/Def |
| Ground | Lafayette, Vercingetorix — strong vs your ranged | Mounted + ranged behind a ground buffer; Trap (anti-ground) |
| Ranged | Marcian, Charles VI — strong vs your mounted | Ground lead + your ranged; Rock traps (anti-ranged); enemy-ranged debuff |
| Debuff-stacked | cuts your buffs up to 50% | Flat-refine T1–10 (debuff-immune); stack return debuffs |
| Killed | Permanently lost (unless SvS-revivable or converted to Souls/Deserters). |
| Wounded | Survive → Hospital. DEFENDING: losses go here up to Hospital capacity, then overflow is Killed. ATTACKING: a death→wounded ratio caps it. |
| Survived | “Turned death to survival” buffs convert would-be deaths straight to alive — free, best outcome. |
| Deserter | Fled the march (not dead). Recalled FREE at the Holy Palace (has capacity). |
| Holy Palace Soul | A share of Killed become souls, revived at the Holy Palace (unlock L25; 10 crystals → 3,000,000 power). |
| Captured | Troops/resources seized by the winner (defender-side line). |
