Leader talents: farming, war and calculator

Where points come from

Open Leader portrait → Talents. Points come from player levels, not Castle levels or individual hero levels. Level 60 awards the last 9 level-up points, bringing the total to 278. Level 55 has 237; level 59 has 269.

Hidden Talent in Military Command can add up to 10 research points, making this planner’s maximum 288. These are separate from leveling, not a reward for player level 61.

Earn Player EXP through quests, Hero Stages, monster hunting and ordinary progression activities. Coordinate them with useful account goals; do not sacrifice troops just to obtain EXP.

Prerequisites, resets and saved sets

A lower node requires a specific earlier talent at a minimum level. Not every requirement is 2 or 5: Research I requires Construction Speed I at 3/10. You need not max every node on the way.

Each talent level costs one point. The displayed bonus is the total for that level, not the sum of every preceding row. Final levels often make a large jump; unlock the path, then finish valuable targets.

Talent Reset redistributes points in-game. Community references list 1,000 Gems or 90,000 Guild Coins; check your current shop before buying. Innate Talent in Upgrade Military unlocks saved sets, and Talent Tomes save them. A saved preset does not promise free switching: read the item confirmation in your client.

The supplied food-farm example

The seven screenshots together show 237 allocated points, matching the level-55 budget before research. They do not establish the account’s actual level. At level 60 with no extras there would be 41 points left. The screenshot preset reproduces those exact visible levels.

Food Production I 5/5 + II 20/20 + III 50/50 totals +600% food production. Construction I+II and Research I+II each give +105%. Gathering II 50/50 gives +100%; Max Load II 36/50 gives +54%. The planner also includes intermediate production nodes.

Food production applies to Farms, not food packs, and does not guarantee positive net food. Army upkeep, base building output, capacity and other boosts matter. Gathering from map tiles is a different stat.

Choosing an economic preset

• Growth: prioritize Research II/I and Construction II/I, then Training Speed II/I. Set talents and gear before starting long queues.
• Food farm: complete the valuable food-production targets while retaining the growth and gathering you need. Stone, timber, ore or gold hypers should change the production target rather than copy a food build.
• Gathering: focus on Gathering II/I and Max Load II/I. Speed and carrying capacity solve different bottlenecks; if a march already empties a tile, extra load does not make gathering faster.
• Presets follow declared priorities within your current budget. Low levels receive partial paths, not the same maxima as level 60. Allocate unused points manually.

Infantry, ranged or cavalry war builds

Single-type presets prioritize that troop’s Offense III, Squad Health II/I and Squad Offense I, then Offense II/I and Defense. With enough points, the base plan costs 246 and gives +70% chosen troop ATK, +5% Army ATK, +100% Army HP and +100% Army DEF.

Troop ATK and Army ATK contribute to the appropriate troop’s attack modifier; they do not mean a 75% increase to your current final stat or guaranteed damage. At 278 points, 32 remain for your decision instead of automatic siege or trap spending.

Military talent boosts marked Leader Deployed require your Leader in the relevant army. A Leader sheltered or on a different march does not lend gear and talent stats to this battle. Naming a hero Leader alone does not replace deployment.

Mixed troops and defense

The mixed preset first completes Health II/I, Army ATK and Offense III for infantry, cavalry and ranged, then alternates remaining points among their Offense II talents. This is a balanced starting point: adjust for troop counts, frontline, gear and enemy.

No talent set wins against every attack. Check formation, Leader, heroes, Infirmaries and account protection as well. Reinforcements and rallies follow commander-specific rules; this planner does not simulate allies inheriting stats.

Our mixed-build recommendation is to finish core ATK and HP before comparing DEF or secondary goals. That is editorial strategy, not a universal rule for every rally leader or trap account.

Reading percentages correctly

Tiers of the same stat add together: Research I +40% and Research II +65% total +105% research speed from talents. Gear and other sources of the same stat are additional contributions.

+105% speed does not remove 105% of the time. Ignoring other mechanics, duration is base time / (1 + 105/100), about 48.78% of base. Guild Help and other mechanics can change the resulting timer further.

This is a talent-only planner, not an account reader or battle simulator. It spends no game items and makes no victory, hourly production or final queue-time promise. Lowering player level preserves the plan and highlights any overspend.

Before applying in-game

• Confirm player level and research points actually earned. Saved-set research and bonus-point research are different.
• Pick a purpose: growth queues, production, gathering or a specific battle. Check totals and remaining points after switching.
• Use the relevant economic set before starting a long project. Before danger, check war talents, gear and Leader location; a preset itself is not protection.
• All 47 talents require 1,265 points to fill. With 278 points, specialize and maintain several useful sets instead of trying to max everything.
