I've got an alliance with 60 players and I will be sending them here to learn from you. Thanks!

[@MrMojoJojo101]

Wow im 30 days in, this is the most helpful video by far! You work does not go unnoticed

[@cathleendell8111]

I am so very thankful for your very informative walk through's. I have been on the edge of quitting this game because i poor tons of time into researching how to improve my game play. Your video's are 1) easy to understand 2) clear and extremely concise 3) make me hopeful. Thanks again for all the time and effort you put in to enhance our gaming experiences!

[@MasakiAndoh483]

Cathleen, it is totally cool to not be the best, If you enjoy the game, just resist the spending in the game and you can still have fun. A lot of my content is meant for non spenders so I hope that really has been helpful. If you have any questions leave me a comment I will try and answer them in upcoming videos.

[@angusmcprepper9379]

Excellent content, as always. I have been experimenting with 65/08/27. Good fun! TY for sharing

Timely video! Thanks! :)

[@uuufffttaa]

I THINK YOU ARE SAYING THIS IS THE BEST TROOP FORMATION FOR INFECTED. WHAT ABOUT TRAP AND RR,FF,CC,ETC.?

[@lisabeauchamp6949]

Thanks!

[@adeyemibademosi2471]

Should I mix the different troop types for maximum effect? (for 60% infantry should I use 30% tier X and 30% tier IX infantry) I noticed there are two types for each troop, e.g Infantry has the guys with shields(increased defence against hunters) and the ones with shotguns (Increased defence against riders)

[@nakedzombiechick4513]

Great video Masaki. Shout out to 483 NZM!

Oh wow! yeah nice to see you in the KZbin Meta Verse. :P

[@carlafaye8291]

hey thanks just tried it now. make more vids pls

[@TheOJDrinker]

I heard it was supposed to be 60/15/25

[@MeryL0707]

This was helpful, thank you. I just send shit and hope for the best. 😂

[@thewewguy8t88]

Well I have been playing for 3 days now and my strat right now is to just be higher power level then the infected I kill that being said I am at level 15 right now so I am guessing the game changes at level 30. To be honest I barely get how rallys works also I am currently at state 1255 I belive which is the newest state made at the time of this comment.

[@injest9706]

Thank you! 🙏

[@caltch]

Riders are kinda like healers but they're more protection from what I understand.

[@kaylirobles35]

This is a great video

[@Mist_Ninjutsu]

Your troop formation matters but so do hero's, I just beat lvl 30 with Jane, Sarge, Nikola 120k troops all even.

[@mrri8166]

My problem is my troops always died when attack the settlement. But the enemy troops wounded no dead

Does this 60 10 40 hold true against the PvP (attaching other players in RR, CC and AZ etc) as well?

[@michaeljohnson2220]

How to gens of the characters

[@hunter1996tan]

Do you upgrade your old troops more or just make more higher lvl troops

[@woozii.capalot]

Can someone help me with percentages? Ion get what y’all mean by like 33% across the board. Like I have different types of troops in the same category, but don’t know which ones to use

[@MasakiAndoh483]

When we say 33% across the board we mean 33 of each troop type.

[@woozii.capalot]

@@MasakiAndoh483 how I figure out how much 33% of each troop type is n also I have more than on type of the same troop, so which ones do I use?

[@GrnXnham]

Do you think this info is still true? I just experimented by attacking a level 30 infected with 33/33/33 and then again with 60/10/30. I won both times but I only had 14 wounded with 33/33/33. I had 17 wounded with 60/10/30.

[@bethel4348]

Same. I did 60/10/30 and lost more battle power and had a little more wounded than 33/33/33.

[@GrnXnham]

@@bethel4348 Makes me wonder if the devs haven't changed this? This vid is now 8 months old. There has been many updates.

[@bethel4348]

@@GrnXnham I did it on lvl 27 infected and I also think they changed it. Or maybe the heroes we use affects it idk. I personally used Maddie, Chef and Mikoto(resonated with Sarge) both times.

[@Phantogram2]

It is most definitely changed. Ratio's aren't anywhere as important as they were before. You could get 100% more damage with the right setup, but by now you can get barely 20% difference. The calculations behind battles got simplified and the step-by-step battle system (and battle replays along with that) got removed too. Everything just gets smashed together now. I'm assuming they did that to save server resources. In PvP, Im now doing worse with 65/15/20 than 30/40/30 and the game warns you when you try to go with 65/15/20.

[@MasakiAndoh483]

I will give it another review, but the key is not how much troops you lose, the key, especially in PvP is that your Inf must hold, which is why you use more of them, if you lose all your infantry, you are almost guaranteed to lose.

[@par-olowcarlson1040]

[@vvnd4599]

New to the game, and I notice there is no battle button in my report, was this removed from the game? and also the details report of Hero Damages can't seem to find it.

[@MasakiAndoh483]

I think this is mostly because you are in an newer state? I would think the changes that we get are available to newer states first.

[@vvnd4599]

@@MasakiAndoh483 thanks for the response. and yeah im on a newer state and i later found out that there is a New Battle Engine and Old Battle Engine. and also thanks for the guide you make, as a new player, it really help me a lot.

[@khalilsantos4143]

I changed my troop formation to 60-10-30 and my BP dropped the March strength dropped to below the 33-33-33 formation. Why is that and is 60-10-30 still King?

[@MasakiAndoh483]

Are all your troops the same Tier? Your BP shouldn't drop, your march might. But the key is that this formation last longer. If you don't believe me try using 33 and hitting something like infected. and do it until you cannot kill the infected anymore. Then change to a 60-10-30 and you will see you can now win against the same infected.

Does it matter who is placed as captain, do you get the same results if you rotated the captain spot between those three heroes?

[@MasakiAndoh483]

There are a few heroes where it seems like it matters but from testing it doesn’t affect most of what you do now. It did many versions ago.

[@94kong94]

So who’s skills are being used? Skills from all 3 hero’s or just the skills from the captain.

@@94kong94 Just the captain's skill is shown, but with the new update, it looks like those skills don't matter anymore at all. Even though the UI still shows the captain's skill being chosen.
