Lordrush Troop Presets: How to Save Formations for Combat and Bear Hunt

To deploy armies quickly during alliance rallies and open-field battles in Lordrush, configure your formations ahead of time using troop preset slots. Saving presets locks in specific hero pairings and troop balances so you can dispatch marches instantly without manually adjusting sliders before every encounter.

How to Configure and Save Troop Presets

You can set up preset formations directly from the march interface on the world map or through your fortress dispatch menu.

Open the march deployment window: Select a target on the map—such as an alliance rally, resource node, or hostile camp—and choose the attack or rally option to open squad preparation.
Choose a preset tab: Locate the numbered preset slots (such as 1, 2, and above) on the march configuration screen.
Assign your heroes: Place your primary commander into the lead position to apply their march capacity and leadership bonuses, then assign your secondary hero.
Adjust unit ratios: Manually tune the sliders for infantry, cavalry or lancers, and marksmen rather than relying on auto-fill defaults.
Save the formation: Select the save icon or confirmation button on that preset tab to store the squad setup.

Once saved, selecting that numbered preset automatically loads your designated heroes and adjusts troop numbers to your current march capacity limit.

Recommended Presets for Bear Hunts and Combat

Different encounters demand specific squad compositions. Dedicated preset slots let you separate high-damage PvE event requirements from balanced open-field survival.

Preset Type	Hero Role Focus	Unit Composition	Strategic Purpose
Bear Hunt Main Rally	Single-target damage, attack buffs	Heavy marksmen and offensive lancers	Maximizing personal damage output during rally windows
Bear Hunt Rally Filler	March speed, rapid cycling	Single unit or low-tier quick march	Joining secondary alliance rallies without locking your main army
Open-Field Combat	Defense, durability, crowd control	Balanced mix of infantry, lancers, and marksmen	Absorbing frontline attacks and maintaining sustained combat presence

Bear Hunt Preset Setup

The Bear Hunt rewards total damage dealt within short rally windows. Because defensive durability against incoming wipes is unnecessary for this event, configure this preset to maximize offense:

Slot heroes that provide flat attack buffs, critical bonuses, and damage-taken debuffs.
Skew troop numbers heavily toward your highest-tier marksmen and offensive damage dealers.
Set up a secondary filler preset using fast-marching heroes and a minimal troop count if your alliance opens multiple rallies simultaneously.

Open-Field Combat Preset Setup

Open-field battles require defensive durability to protect backline damage dealers from collapse:

Assign a primary hero equipped with defensive passives, damage reduction skills, or control effects.
Allocate a durable frontline of high-tier infantry to absorb damage while archers or marksmen fight safely from behind.
Avoid mixing gathering units or low-tier filler into this slot so your combat march deploys at full strength.

Updating Presets After Fortress Progression

Saved presets do not automatically rebalance your compositions when account stats change. You must manually update your preset slots after:

Upgrading your Town Center or military buildings to unlock higher march capacities.
Completing academy research that increases squad size or unit attributes.
Promoting lower-tier troops to higher tiers, which can leave outdated presets pulling obsolete unit counts.

Open your preset tabs after each major training cycle, clear legacy unit counts, and resave the formation to reflect your updated troop tiers and maximum march capacity.
