To maximize points and clear all twenty waves in the Lordrush Cesare's Fury event, empty your fortress of defending squads and dispatch your march queues to reinforce your alliance members and the Alliance Headquarters. Defending your own base yields significantly fewer personal points than defending an ally. Mutual reinforcement allows your alliance to protect vulnerable members, maximize kill points, and prevent bases from burning out of the event.
Empty Your Base and Reinforce Allies
Defending your own walls reduces your total point potential. When bandit waves attack your fortress, home troops consume kills locally and prevent allies from earning garrison defense points. Dispatch all available march queues outward before Wave 1 begins.
- Swap garrison forces: Send your squads to neighboring active players while they send squads to your walls. This mutual swap ensures both players collect maximum defense points when raiders assault either fortress.
- Prioritize offline members: Inactive or offline players cannot dispatch marches outward, leaving their cities with empty garrison capacity throughout the twenty waves. Stationing two to three strong player marches in an offline member's city provides steady, uncontested point generation across every wave.
- Monitor garrison caps: Avoid overfilling a single member's city. Stacking too many allied squads in one fortress dilutes the kill score among too many players, lowering individual point returns.
- Prevent double burns: A base that catches fire twice is eliminated from the event. Knocked-out bases stop receiving waves, cutting off that fortress as a garrison point source for the rest of the alliance.
Deployment Target Comparison
| Target Base | Strategic Advantage | Operational Trade-off |
|---|---|---|
| Offline Ally Base | Full garrison space available; continuous point gains across standard waves | Troops are locked for the duration; cannot quickly react to emergency losses |
| Active Ally Base | Enables mutual point swaps; flexible coordination in alliance chat | Risk of reaching capacity limits; ally may recall or reassign garrisons |
| Alliance Headquarters | Highest point pools available; repels elite waves targeting the structure | Attacked only on milestone waves; travel times require early coordination |
Defend the Alliance Headquarters
Bandit forces alter their targets during milestone rounds, redirecting their assault to the Alliance Headquarters on Wave 10 and Wave 20. These waves feature armored elite commanders and dense mobs capable of inflicting heavy structural damage.
- Track incoming waves: Prepare march queues around Wave 8 and Wave 18 by recalling squads from standard ally garrisons.
- Assign the garrison captain: The player with the highest defensive stats and strongest hero levels must enter the Headquarters first. The first commander to arrive acts as the garrison lead, applying their talent tree and defensive buffs to all joined units.
- Dispatch early: Calculate march travel time across alliance territory. Send reinforcements several minutes ahead of the milestone wave so squads arrive before the bandit army hits the structure.
- Recall immediately after victory: Once Wave 10 or Wave 20 concludes, withdraw your march queues and redirect them back into member fortresses to continue accumulating standard wave points.
Alliance Difficulty Tiers
Alliance leadership (R4 and R5) must calibrate the event difficulty to the median combat strength of the roster, rather than the power of top spenders:
- Tiers 1–5: Best for new alliances or rosters with early-stage fortress levels. Focuses on basic garrison routing without risking early base burns.
- Tiers 6–12: Recommended for established mid-game alliances with active coordination. Lower-power players can survive through Wave 20 when supported by allied garrisons.
- Tiers 13+: High-tier bracket suited strictly for mature alliances with high troop tiers and large hospital capacities.
Selecting a difficulty tier that allows all members to survive all twenty waves yields more alliance-wide rewards than failing midway through an overtuned tier.
Squad Composition and Hero Lineups
Garrison defense favors durability and multi-target damage over single-target burst damage. When building your reinforcement squads:
- Lead with defensive heroes: Deploy commanders that feature passive damage reduction, protective shields, and squad defense enhancements.
- Frontline infantry: Position sturdy infantry units in your squads to absorb incoming wave impacts.
- Backline ranged support: Use marksmen and support units behind your frontline to deal sustained damage and clear enemy mobs as they engage your barricades.
- Avoid offensive rally setups: Purely offensive commanders lack garrison survival synergies, resulting in high hospital wounded counts that force you to expend healing speed-ups between waves.

This saved me time in the early game.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Lordrush articles next.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
