Notes Edit

• The current total attack equation uses 100% attack stat + 70% defense stat.
• The current total defense equation uses 70% attack stat + 100% defense stat.
• The general/hero rankings are based on general/hero stats, disregarding special abilities.
• Though some items are farmable, they may not be easily farmable like with Spartan Phalanx or Items recovered from Chests.

Attacking (Invade) Edit

Generals (Attack) Edit

(All generals' level 4 stats used)

Rank	Name	Attack	Defense	Total Attack	Obtained From	Skill	v · e · d Picture
1	Mephistopheles	27	23	43.1	Alpha Chest	Increase army limit by 40 to 541
2	Chase	20	16	31.2	Alchemy	Increase army limit by 20 to 521

	Artanis	16	17	27.9	Alpha Chest	Increase army limit by 20 to 521
*	Savannah	14	19	27.3	Alpha Chest	Increase army size by 15

It is mostly recommended to equip army limit generals for invasions. Mephistopheles will increase your invasion score by about 8% while the Chase, Crom and Artanis will give you a boost of about 4%. However, they only work if you have a complement of 541+/521+ army members (depending on the general). If not, then their ability would become useless and it would be better to equip other generals which enhances your defense stat. Savannah is an alternative if you don't have at least a 501 army. She is useless if you have though.

10	Spartan Phalanx	70	70	119	Alchemy	Yes
	Alpha Sapphire Serpent	70	70	119	Alpha Bahamut	Yes

• Whether it is worth combining Hydra Heads depends on what soldiers you can purchase.

Soldiers	Att/Def	Total Attack	Total Defense
4 Dragons (16/14) + Cronus	124 / 116	205.2	202.8
5 Hydra Heads	121 / 132	213.4	216.7
4 Phoenixes (20/16) + Cronus	140 / 116	221.2	214
4 Valor Knights (22/18) + Cronus	148 / 132	240.4	235.6

• Forming Volcanic Knights or Blood Zealots is not recommended -- their stats do not make up the gear you have to sacrifice in order to make them.
• Spartan Phalanx takes a while to get but serpents, especially Amethysts and Ancient Reds, have a good rate of dropping FP that it maybe worth your while to pursue them.
• Pursuing Alpha Bahamut for the Alpha Serpents is generally not recommended unless you can get into the Legendary threshold within the time limit with no problems.

Weapons Edit

• Exsanguinator. You can get this one from a regular, wimpy Vincent at a relatively low damage-to-loot ratio.
• Genesis Sword. Among the other monsters who drops decent weapons, Genesis is the easiest.

Equipment Edit

• Deathshield. Farm Skaar for this, it drops easily and requires less stamina commitment than other monsters.

Magic Edit

• Frost Bolt. Farm Ragnarok for this, it's a bit rare but like Skaar, the stamina commitment is less than others.
• Swarm of Darkness. Like Exanguinator, you can get this one from the weak Vincent relatively cheap.
• Pestilence. This magic from Skaar is also good, since you are farming for his shield anyway.

• Forming Volcanic Knights or Blood Zealots is not recommended -- their stats do not make up the gear you have to sacrifice in order to make them. Particularly the Volcanic Helm, which is the 6th best in slot and will be a cornerstone of your War Council setup. Blood Flasks and Hellforge Gauntlets will also be key WC gear until you've done an immense amount of farming to replace them with the Legendary items that create the best gloves and amulets.
• Spartan Phalanx takes a while to get but serpents, especially Amethysts and Ancient Reds, have a good rate of dropping FP that it maybe worth your while to pursue them.
• Pursuing Alpha Bahamut for the Alpha Serpents is generally not recommended unless you can get into the Legendary threshold within the time limit with no problems.

Weapons Edit

• Exsanguinator. You can get this one from a regular, wimpy Vincent at a relatively low damage-to-loot ratio.
• Genesis Sword. Among the other monsters who drops decent weapons, Genesis is the easiest.

Equipment Edit

• Deathshield. Farm Skaar for this, it drops easily and requires less stamina commitment than other monsters.

Magic Edit

• Frost Bolt. Farm Ragnarok for this, it's a bit rare but like Skaar, the stamina commitment is less than others.
• Swarm of Darkness. Like Exanguinator, you can get this one from the weak Vincent relatively cheap.
• Pestilence. This magic from Skaar is also good, since you are farming for his shield anyway.
