To win a Prison Clash battle in Police Chief when facing a numerically superior force during the Bros in Arms Kill Event, deploy your units in staggered waves, activate active event combat buffs, and focus fire on weaker enemy stacks. Avoid committing all high-tier officers in an initial push; instead, manage deployment timing and trade units efficiently to maximize damage output.
Prerequisites and Event Preparation
Before sending forces to the Prison, verify your department's readiness in the event menu:
- Check Event Buffs: Open the event tab to ensure active Bros in Arms combat bonuses are applied to your selected units before launching an assault or defense.
- Select High Damage Units: Prioritize officer squads with higher kill-to-death potential over purely defensive builds to earn maximum kill event points while trading troops.
- Establish Reserves: Retain a portion of your roster at your precinct to cover standard duties and patrol work while primary forces engage at the Prison.
Tactical Deployment When Outnumbered
When engaging a larger enemy force at the Prison objective, focus on maintaining tactical control through strategic wave timing and targeted damage:
- Stagger Reinforcement Waves: Send units in timed waves rather than a single full roster deployment. This prevents enemy forces from focus-firing your entire force at once and allows incoming reinforcements to support active frontline units.
- Target Weaker Stacks First: Focus fire on enemy stacks with lower unit counts or weaker tiers. Eliminating smaller stacks quickly reduces the enemy's total damage output faster than attacking their primary tank units.
- Use Officer Debuffs: Deploy high-level officers capable of reducing enemy defensive stats to weaken opponent stacks before pressing an attack.
- Monitor the Power Indicator: Track the real-time combat power bar during the skirmish. If the gauge tips in your favor, advance immediately to force an opponent retreat.
Post-Clash Recovery and Readiness Thresholds
High-intensity fights at the Prison carry severe officer attrition risks. Manage your department's post-battle recovery with these steps:
| Action Phase | Primary Goal | Key Threshold / Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| Casualty Triage | Heal high-utility officers first | Prioritize officers supporting long-term department tasks |
| Log Review | Analyze combat analytics | Identify effective unit matchups against opposing factions |
| Power Reset | Hold further engagements | Do not re-engage until Department Power returns to at least 80% |
If your total Department Power drops below your operational limits, withdraw from the Prison area until reinforcements are ready. Overcommitting can result in a complete force wipeout, leaving the Prison objective under opposing control.

I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Can you add more details about updates in a future update?
