After a loss, the battle report compares you with your opponent line by line and flags each gap as a minor or major upgrade. It's the most useful screen in the game for working out where your power is actually missing. Here's what each line means.
What the report compares
| Area | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Castle Level | Your main progression gate. Lots of content (like Gold Mine Conquest at Castle Lv.15) is locked behind it. |
| Hero Level | Average level of the heroes you fielded. |
| Hero Star Level | Average stars. Star 5 also unlocks a hero's slot on the Wall of Honor. |
| Gear Power | Total power of your equipped gear. |
| Soldier Level | The tier of troops you're sending. |
| Wall of Honor | An account-wide bonus fed by starred-up heroes. |
| Griffin Level | Your Griffin's HP, ATK and DEF are added to your heroes' stats, so this one scales everything. |
| Tech | Research power, including faction and damage-type lines. |
| Skill Runes | Rune power and Rune Star Level. |
| Soldier Morale | Raised through Tech. The report tracks your total. |
| Combat Boost Level | Shown as its own line in the evaluation. |
It's not always stats
The report checks a few things that have nothing to do with power:
- You were countered. If the matchup grade says "moderately" or "hard-countered", fix your factions before anything else. See faction counters.
- No tanks up front. Move your tanks to the front row. See hero classes and formation.
- Wrong damage defence. The report tells you whether the enemy dealt mostly Martial or Tactical Damage. Research and gear the matching protection.
- Plain bad luck. Crits and random skill targeting can swing fights between Lords of similar power. The game's own advice here is simply to try again.
- Timeout. If the fight runs out the clock, the defender wins. Squads with lots of damage reduction but low damage can lose attacks this way.
A sensible fix order
- Formation and factions. These are free and instant.
- Griffin level. It scales every hero at once.
- The single biggest "major upgrade" flag on the report.
- Hero stars, especially anyone close to Star 5 for the Wall of Honor.
- Matching defensive Tech for the damage type you keep losing to.
