Why March Speed Matters

March speed determines how quickly your troops move for gathering, monster attacks, or rallies. For beginners in active alliances, catching up to faster rally leaders is key to joining multiple events. I’ve neglected this before—possibly a mistake—but let’s optimize it now!

Exploring March Speed Boosts

Let’s dive into the game (PC version, similar to mobile) and examine generals, equipment, and more.
