Ant Legion Conquest Guide: Tree Control and Rally Tactics

To win Conquest battles in Ant Legion, alliances must capture and hold the flanking turrets before attempting to secure the central World Tree. If an alliance occupies the World Tree while opposing forces hold the surrounding turrets, the Tree takes continuous periodic damage that rapidly drains the defending garrison. Securing at least two turrets turns structure fire against enemy forces and establishes the baseline required to hold the center without depleting alliance war reserves.

Turret Control and Tree Prioritization

The battlefield layout centers on the World Tree, protected by perimeter turrets. Controlling the Tree yields the points necessary to win the match, but rushing it early creates an unsustainable defensive burden.

Execute your structure assault using the following sequence:

1. Split initial attack waves: Launch coordinated strikes across multiple outer turrets simultaneously. This forces the defending server to split their reinforcement marches across several targets rather than stacking a single garrison.
2. Secure a two-turret advantage: Hold at least two flanking turrets so their passive structure bombardment targets enemy positions rather than your own troops.
3. Initiate the World Tree rally: Once two turrets are stabilized, have your primary war captains launch rallies against the central Tree. Never commit full-capacity marches to the center while opposing servers control the flanking artillery.

Rally Coordination and March Speed Timing

Defending players monitor incoming rally countdowns to pack structures with reinforcements during the final ten seconds before impact. Offense requires deliberate timing to breach these reinforced positions:

• Compress travel with march speedups: Rally leaders and joining members must use speedups during the final stretch of the march. Sudden acceleration lands the strike before defensive players can react with last-second reinforcements.
• Run decoy rallies: Stagger multiple rally countdowns across different alliance members. Launching a secondary rally against an outer turret draws attention and forces defenders to commit reserves away from the primary assault target.
• Match the leader's troop specialty: Allies joining a rally must send pure marches matching the rally leader's designated specialty, such as all Ranged or all Guardian units. Mixing troop types dilutes the leader's specific hero buffs and combat stats.

Garrison Defense and Reinforcement Cycling

Defending a captured structure requires designating high-stat defensive anchors and continuously managing troop health.

The defensive bonuses for an entire structure garrison are set by the first player to enter or the designated commander with the highest garrison stats. Lower-power players must never take the primary defensive slot. Only players with maxed defensive heroes, specialized talents, and high-tier gear should anchor the structure.

Hostile rallies degrade garrison combat performance as units take damage. Between incoming enemy attacks, the garrison commander must call for fresh reinforcements. Support players should send full-health marches into the structure while heavily wounded defenders recall their units to heal, preventing cascading wipes during repeated enemy blitzes.

Alliance Roles and Responsibilities

Coordinate tasks according to player power levels to ensure efficient battlefield coverage:

Hospital Capacity and Base Defense

Neutral structure battles in Conquest generate high casualty rates. While wounded units enter the hospital pool, any overflow beyond maximum hospital capacity results in permanent troop deaths.

To preserve your military force:

• Batch heal in small increments: Continuously clear hospital space using small speedup batches to ensure incoming wounded never exceed total medical capacity.
• Maintain shield discipline: Stationing your base in the war zone without an active Peace Shield leaves you vulnerable to swift attacks while your armies are deployed.
• Retreat when depleted: If you run low on healing speedups or troop reserves, activate a Peace Shield immediately, move to perimeter territory, and switch to reporting enemy rally movements.
