Troop Training — Waterfall Barracks + T10 Research
Stagger your barracks so training never idles, then research T10 in the right order.
Last updated 4/17/2026
Training is the largest continuous power source in the game. The classic rookie mistake is maxing all barracks together — the result is long downtimes between tier bumps. The "waterfall" pattern keeps something training every day of the week.
Keep one barracks at max, the next two levels behind (training T-1), the next two more behind, and so on. On Mobility Day (Friday) each barracks can burst-train one tier above its normal cap.

Daily routine
- Before bed: queue each barracks with its highest trainable tier, filling the entire training duration so capacity is not sitting idle.
- During the day: dump training speedups only on Friday. Every other day, let queues run on their own — speedups mid-week is burned value.
- When upgrading a barracks, time the construction to finish 3–4 hours before a VS or Mobility day to capture points from the construction itself.
Once you're ready to train T10, research order matters more than raw speed. Bad tech path = stuck at T9 for a week while your rivals move.
Numbered tech path for unlocking T10. Follow the order — skipping ahead wastes research resources you will need for the final node.
