- Recommended Team for Allies -
The Allied Members: Permanent
These 3 allies are enough to complete waves 17 to 50! Tested with no problem.
- Bowman: Unlocks after Wave 5. This will be your main rangers early game. Use
them for backing up Nobunaga and to increase your fire power. Summon if Nobunaga is in play.
- Priest: Unlocks after Wave 14. Mostly used for healing the Sacred Gate. Only
summon if you have 2~4 Leadership Lvl with high Leadership Points.
- Nobunaga: Unlocks after Wave 16. He will be your main tanker for this game!
Always reserve points and summon him always to keep your enemies busy. Note that all free Glu Credits or Gems must be used on him to increase his Health and Attack.
More Allied Members: Get From Presents
- Assassin: One of your permanent members once you get her. Assassin is a fast
moving range melee ninja, used as quick reinforcements for Nobunaga when he is far from the Sacred Gate. Can be replaced by Rifleman.
- Frostie the Bowman: One of your permanent members once you get him.
Another great ranger that can freeze your enemies, slowing their movements!
- Rifleman and Takeda Shingen: Optional members until you get the 2 above.
Takeda Shingen is only good at early to mid waves, so use him if you are lucky to get him. Rifleman can also replace assassin as your permanent member because he can buff your Archers!
- Other melee or mid ranged allies won't last long like Nobunaga so it is best to
recruit more ranged allies. They have different Leadership points requirements and unique skills, that is suitable for different situations.

- Battle Strategies -
Attack, Doge, Sneak and Delay Enemy Movements!
- If you want to review how to do this, which I greatly recommend before
following this guide, refer here: Tips, Tricks, Game Help and Info
- The guide above also includes how to upgrade your Leadership Lvl and how to
use Cup or Pot of Tea while in battle.
Battle Routine!
- Do not summon any allies for now. Attack, dodge and delay the movements of
your enemies until you are able to upgrade your Leadership Lvl to 2. Lethargy is a good ability skill to get for this purpose.
- Summon Nobunaga to tank for you then back him up with your ranged allies.
Sometimes, it is better to quickly summon 2 Nobunagas at the start.
- Watch Nobunaga's health bar and always reserve 55 leadership to quickly
summon him right after his death.
- Your aim is to upgrade your Leadership to higher levels to gain faster points per
second. Only upgrade when Nobunaga is present on the battle field.
Other Helpful Strategies
- Use Lethargy then sneak attack all ranged enemies at the back. Attack their
healers and buffers too to cut their damage output and survivability. Be careful not to die though!
- Use Troop Trample to defeat bosses like Spider Ladies that can deal massive
damages.
