Here's a quick walkthrough and unit upgrading guide Part 3 (for Rank 8) for the idle-style strategy mobile game Battle Legion: Mass-Battler, available to download from Google Play (Android) and App Store (iOS).
Formation/Build and Upgrading Guide
- Refer to our separate guide (below link) for the quick walkthrough guide.
- Quick Walkthrough Guide Part 1 (Rank 1 to 5)
Things To Remember
- Refer to our quick tips and guide section for info that we
will no longer cover here.
- Check here: Battle Legion: Beginner's Quick Tips and Guide
- This guide will focus more on using Common and Rare units, since all players can get them.
- Formations = Follow the example formations below (must follow exact location and position for movement and timing). Feel free to adjust the formation or test other formations if you like.
- NOTE: Builds/Formations below are just suggestions, these are not the only way to conquer the Ranks. We do not guarantee 100% effectiveness due to game "balance changes", but can still be used as reference.
- Upgrading = Upgrade units to match up your opponent's upgrade levels (check during the start of battle, use as guide). Note that you'll receive random shards from Wagons, so either follow the example screenshots or upgrade other key units included, preferably those that you'll be using for most battles.
Rank 8 (1400~1600 Trophies)
- Barrier Monk is your key unit here to counter those annoying Catapults, Barrier Monks, and other Mythic units, because she can cover your army from ranged attackers! If you don't have her, get ready for a world of pain... (not really if you are lucky ~ XD).
How To Get Barrier Monk?
- The problem here is that you'll need to endure until you can reach 1550 Trophies to unlock Barrier Monk or try to get her Shards from your Daily Free Wagon (Shop) and Wagons (Camp), also Watch Ads (Camp) or try to get some Royal Shipments (random from Battles).
Build If You Don't Have Barrier Monk
- Use this build for now until you can unlock Barrier Monk. There are other viable builds as well, but I prefer high roll builds (generates +/-50~100 Trophies depending on your Bombots and Plague Throwers' performance).
- Notable Weaknesses = Against massive high Lvl units, Assassins placed to the bottom area, and Mythic units like Catapults!
- Note that Lvl 5 units can help you reach 1500~1550 Trophies (with some luck), so take your time and gather shards from Wagons and Clan Requests to upgrade most of them to Lvl 5.
- TIP: Keep battling (use "Auto-Spin") and earn wins and XP to get those free unit shards from Season Path, plus other rewards like Powerstones. If you need more Gold, you can buy Gold from the Shop with 50 or 500 Gems (optional), or donate units to your clan mates.
Units and Upgrades:
- x2 Shieldbearers = Aim for Lvl 5 + Defensive type Powerstones.
- x2 Archers = Aim for Lvl 5 + Powerstones.
- x3 Bombot = Lvl 2 or 3. Upgrade if you want to increase HP or to "one hit kill" Brutes.
- x2 Hammer Throwers = Aim for Lvl 5 + Offensive type Powerstone.
- x1 Plague Throwers = Lvl 4 or 5 + Range or Defensive type Powerstone.
- x1 Spider Nest = Lvl 2. Upgrading to Lvl 3 is optional (if you want to save Gold).
- x1 Crystal Spire = Lvl 5 + Offensive type Powerstone.
- *NOTE: Depending on the shards that you can get from Wagons, upgrade other key units included, preferably those that you'll be using for most battles.
Alternative Build If You Have Arcane Archer
- Build if you don't have Barrier Monk yet but have Arcane Archer. Also a high roll build (generates +/-50~100 Trophies depending on your Bombots and Plague Throwers' performance).
- Place 2 Crystal Spire to disrupt Bombots and to quickly eliminate melee units. Range units are also far from each other to force your opponent's Plague Throwers to take more time spreading it's plague.
- Notable Weaknesses = Against massive high Lvl units, Assassins placed to the bottom/upper area (Assassins placed to the center will follow the Bombot lol), and Mythic units like Catapults!
- Note that Lvl 5 units can help you reach 1500~1550 Trophies (with some luck), so take your time and gather shards from Wagons and Clan Requests to upgrade most of them to Lvl 5.
Units and Upgrades:
- x2 Shieldbearers = Aim for Lvl 5 + Defensive type Powerstones.
- x2 Archers = Aim for Lvl 5 + Powerstones.
- x3 Bombot = Lvl 2 or 3. Upgrade if you want to increase HP or to "one hit kill" Brutes.
- x2 Hammer Throwers = Aim for Lvl 5 + Offensive type Powerstone.
- x1 Plague Throwers = Lvl 4 or 5 + Range or Defensive type Powerstone.
- x2 Crystal Spire = Lvl 4 or 5 + Offensive type Powerstone.
- x1 Arcane Archer = Lvl 4 or 5 + Powerstones (Defensive type Powerstone that ignores damage every few seconds is also good).
- *NOTE: Depending on the shards that you can get from Wagons, upgrade other key units included, preferably those that you'll be using for most battles.
Build If You Have Barrier Monk
- NOTE: As long as you have Barrier Monk you can build any formations you like, you can also complete Rank 8 with lower upgrades (but would still recommend upgrading for later). Here's an example:
- Barrier Monk will always follow the nearest unit so make sure to place her next to your preferred unit/s to cover like Archers. Request shards from your Clan to upgrade her to Lvl 4.
- Notable Weaknesses = Against massive high Lvl units, Assassins placed to the center (if you encounter them a lot, move the Bombot a little bit more to the center. You may also replace Arcane Archer or Bombot and add a x1 Arcane Blades or a 3rd Shieldbearer unit to the center (all the way back) if you want).
Units and Upgrades:
- x2 Shieldbearers = Aim for Lvl 5 + Defensive type Powerstones.
- x2 Archers = Aim for Lvl 5 + Powerstones.
- x1 Bombot = Lvl 3.
- x2 Hammer Throwers = Aim for Lvl 5 + Offensive type Powerstone.
- x1 Plague Throwers = Lvl 4 or 5 + Range or Defensive type Powerstone.
- x2 Crystal Spire = Lvl 4 or 5 + Offensive type Powerstone.
- x1 Barrier Monk = Aim for Lvl 4 + Ability type Powerstones.
- x1 Arcane Archer = Lvl 4 or 5 + Powerstones (Defensive type Powerstone that ignores damage every few seconds is also good).
- *NOTE: Depending on the shards that you can get from Wagons, upgrade other key units included, preferably those that you'll be using for most battles.
