To capture a major capital during large-scale faction warfare in Conquest of Nine Kingdoms, launch synchronized assault waves where high-stat alliance squads absorb defensive automated fire while secondary squads secure perimeter control and provide support damage.
Structuring Squad Roles and Aggro Control
Automated capital defenses target the highest-threat or most exposed squads first. Distributing forces into frontline anchors and support roles prevents weaker alliance teams from taking early damage.
| Squad Tier | Primary Assignment | Tactical Objective | Failure Signal |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strong Teams | Capture point frontline | Tank automated defense fire and anchor the capture point | Defensive targeting shifts to lower-stat allies |
| Semi-Strong Teams | Support damage & perimeter screen | Provide secondary DPS and harass incoming counter-marches | Taking heavy losses early due to sparse formation |
If semi-strong squads take continuous damage during the initial approach, your formation is positioned too far from the objective or lacks direct frontline coverage. Shift high-stat squads closer to the capture point to draw threat away from secondary forces, allowing support squads to safely cycle their abilities.
Executing Synchronized Waves and Perimeter Defense
When managing a multi-alliance coalition—such as a 5-team force split between strong and semi-strong squads—execution relies on timing and role division:
- Coordinate Arrival Windows: Set a strict arrival time using alliance pings or external messaging. Avoid staggered arrivals, which allow defenders to isolate and pick off secondary squads before the main force lands.
- Establish a Perimeter Screen: Position a dedicated subset of semi-strong squads on the outer edge of the capture zone rather than packing all forces onto the central node.
- Delay Counter-Siege Marches: If rival factions approach to interrupt the siege, intercept them at the perimeter using your screening squads. Apply delay-and-distract harassment instead of pulling primary frontline squads off the main objective.
Managing Coalition Logistics and Resources
Adding more alliance teams increases total offensive power but introduces coordination constraints:
- Pathing Congestion: Moving five or more squads simultaneously requires precise pathing. Staggered pathing or poor spacing can cause units to block one another, slowing siege cycles.
- Reserves and Healing: Long sieges deplete troop reserves and stamina. Confirm that all allied participants have sufficient healing supplies and stamina items before committing to an extended battle. If internal reserves are low, consolidate into fewer, higher-stat squads to avoid feeding merit to opposing factions.

This saved me time in the early game.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
