Myths of Moonrise Infantry March Ratios and Defense Guide

To protect your damage dealers in Myths of Moonrise, allocate between 30% and 50% of your march capacity to infantry. Combat mechanics resolve incoming basic attacks against frontline troops before damage touches your secondary rows. Because ranged and cavalry units have lower base defense and health pools, fielding an army without sufficient infantry causes your high-damage units to take direct focus fire, collapse early, and cut your overall damage output.

Recommended March Ratios by Battle Type

Avoid packing marches exclusively with high-tier offensive units. Glass-cannon formations lack durability and regularly lose to balanced armies of equal or lower combat power. In standard PvP encounters, never drop below a 30% infantry allocation.

Combat Scenario	Infantry Ratio	Ranged Ratio	Cavalry Ratio	Primary Objective
Castle Defense & Garrison	45%–50%	30%	20%–25%	Maximize survival time so wall traps and towers can whittle down attackers
Open-Field Skirmish	35%–40%	35%	25%–30%	Balance frontline durability against enemy burst damage
Dark Fortress / Monster Rally	25%–30%	40%	30%–35%	Maintain the minimum necessary screen while maximizing offensive DPS
High-Burst Siege Assault	30%–35%	45%	20%–25%	Protect siege ranged units while breaking through fortified defenses

Coordinating Infantry in Alliance Rallies

In coordinated alliance attacks, the rally acts as a single pooled army where frontline health is aggregated against incoming retaliatory damage. If every participant contributes only offensive ranged troops to maximize their individual score, the collective frontline collapses immediately.

Designate secondary rally joiners to send full or heavy infantry marches. These defensive waves reinforce the pooled frontline, allowing the rally leader's high-tier ranged and cavalry units to deal damage from the back without taking direct siege counterattacks.

Research and Stat Priority for Infantry

Infantry units possess modest offensive scaling, making pure Attack investments inefficient. Focus your Sanctum research, talent trees, and equipment on survivability stats so your frontline can absorb more rounds of combat:

Infantry HP: Prioritize health nodes first to create a larger buffer against enemy hero skill bursts.
Infantry Defense: Upgrade defense to mitigate incoming damage calculations from standard basic attacks.
Defensive Heroes: Assign heroes with passive shielding, damage reduction, or mitigation skills to lead infantry-heavy formations.
Damage Reduction Equipment: Reforge gear sets for percentage-based damage reduction rather than raw attack boosts.

Managing Casualties and Infirmary Space

Frontline infantry units serve as an economic shield for your overall military infrastructure. During prolonged engagements, wounded troops fill the Infirmary until maximum capacity is reached. Any casualties suffered beyond that cap result in permanent troop death.

Because infantry takes damage first, your frontline fills hospital beds before your backline units are touched. Replacing lost infantry requires fewer high-tier resources and significantly less training acceleration time than rebuilding high-tier ranged or cavalry specialists. Maintaining a consistent infantry screen ensures that bad trades or defensive losses do not wipe out your most expensive units.
