Guards
Pick your focus, raise the newest guards first, then the older ones as cheaply as you can.
Words used on this page
- Stat focus: the troop type (Infantry, Distance or Cavalry) you invest in most.
- Blue stars: the star ranks a guard gains as you upgrade it with Star Flakes. Some blue stars (listed for each guard in the roster) give all your troops a permanent bonus, whether or not that guard is deployed.
- Class guard: a guard of your focus's own troop type (Infantry, Distance or Cavalry), listed after the special guards in the roster.
- Generation: the release batch of a guard. Higher is newer, and 7th is the newest.
- Newest, Recent, Older: the roster's status labels. Master Recruitment only affects Older guards.
Your plan, in order
- Find your stat focus. Check which damage stat is highest in your battle reports and which troop type you have invested in most. That is Infantry, Distance or Cavalry.
- Choose one focus and stay with it. Unless you are spending far above $10,000 a month, specializing beats raising all three.
- Pick that focus in the filter below, so the roster lists all the recommended guards for your focus: its special guards (Heavy Duty, Firepower or Bravery) and its class guards (Infantry, Distance or Cavalry).
- Raise your newest guards first. The top of the roster, the Newest and Recent guards, give the strongest battle performance. Bring them to the blue stars shown.
- Then raise the older guards in your focus, working down the roster. Even when they are not deployed, their blue stars unlock bonuses for all your troops. The cheapest time is the Master Recruitment event, described after the roster.
- Raise the Garrison guard, Grimaud, to 5 blue stars whatever your focus.
- Check the blue star detail tables at the end of the page for exactly what each blue star gives, especially on the 5-star guards.

Master Recruitment
The cheapest time to raise older guards. Do this after your newest guards are underway. In the Limited-Time Master Recruitment event you pick one older guard to feature. Its recruitment rate rises 25%, the guaranteed draw count falls from 80 to 60 pulls, and the Star Flake cost to upgrade that guard drops 30%.
The event only applies to guards marked Older in the roster. Newer guards are not affected, so spend on them outside the event. Class guards are not marked Older, so check which guards the event screen offers. Use the event on older guards in your focus: Firepower and Distance for Distance players, Heavy Duty and Infantry for Infantry players, Bravery and Cavalry for Cavalry players.

Formulas and worked examples
Use these to total what your guards give you.
| What | Formula | Worked example |
|---|---|---|
| Total for a stat | Total = sum of that stat's bonus from every guard you have raised to the star where it unlocks | Musketeers Damage Received on the Infantry list: 7 guards × −5% = −35%. If you have only 3 of them at their listed stars: 3 × −5% = −15%. |
| Bonus at k blue stars | Bonus = sum of the individual bonuses of blue stars 1 through k | Constance (Infantry), Infantry Damage: 2nd star 5.90% + 4th star 1.50% = 7.40% (no gain from the other stars). |
| Master Recruitment | Guaranteed pulls = 80 × (1 − 0.25) = 60. Star Flake cost = normal cost × (1 − 0.30) = 0.70 × normal. The featured guard's recruitment rate is 25% higher. | A guard that normally costs 1,000 Star Flakes (illustrative number) costs 1,000 × 0.70 = 700. |
