MxZ MASTER REFERENCE · GUILD KNOWLEDGE BASE
War Encyclopedia
Know the frontline. Build the counter. Lead the rally. MxZ battle knowledge in one place.
Battle in one minute
The safest operational rule: counter the confirmed frontline, then verify the composition and formation matchup. Stats, gear, heroes, familiars, tier mix, wall state and timing can reverse a nominal counter.
How to read this encyclopedia
This page separates what the game visibly shows from what we infer. A report proves formations, troop totals, losses and the attached package when those pages are visible. A replay adds movement and event order. Neither reveals the complete hidden combat algorithm.
Visible in the game UI, report or linked replay and transcribed directly.
Several pieces of evidence point in the same direction, but the complete mechanic is not exposed.
A commonly used MxZ package, creator recommendation or training method that still needs matched testing.
Missing controls, conflicting results, portrait-only identification or a rule that may have changed by game version.

Castle attack and Wonder battle are not identical
| Mechanic | Castle attack | Wonder / fort |
|---|---|---|
| Rally-size preset | 2,375,000 troops (about 2.3M). | 4,250,000 troops (about 4.2M). |
| Battle type | Player castle rally. | Fort, Base, Baron, Chalice and related Wonder battle. |
| Wall | May begin standing and creates a separate opening phase before normal troop contact. | No castle wall. |
| Opening fire | Attacker first resolves the wall phase; exact squad behavior during it remains under matched testing. | Both armies deploy and approach without a wall phase. |
| Retarget pressure | Wall collapse may create a new contact/selection event; do not assume every squad resets together. | No equivalent wall-collapse event. |
| Operational consequence | Break the wall before frontline testing. Wall state changes casualty patterns. | Formation, travel and squad contact dominate the opening. |
The two totals are calculator presets, not observed totals from every battle. Enter the capacity displayed in game when research, boosts or event rules change it.
UNCERTAIN Wall state clearly changes the castle opening, but the saved evidence does not establish one universal wall-loss multiplier or a complete wall-collapse retarget rule.
Read the battle as a sequence—not one instant hit
The selected formation places the troop blocks and determines which type is presented first.
Blocks move toward contact. Ranged lines can remain behind the melee while firing.
Losses accumulate, familiar effects activate in waves and individual squad-annihilation messages may appear.
A Wonder battle can end at 0% morale before every frontline troop or every defending troop is gone.
VERIFIED A linked Infantry-Phalanx mirror replay ended through morale defeat while the losing side still had more total survivors and surviving infantry.
UNCERTAIN The older 40-second and fixed-damage equation is a creator training model. The reviewed evidence does not validate it as the server formula, so it is not used here to predict outcomes.
Troops become squads before they become a battle line
- Troop types are displayed as separate squad groups. Reports and replays show several squads inside each troop type rather than one single infantry, ranged or cavalry object.
- Formation changes their opening placement. Phalanx and wedge layouts change which blocks meet first and which remain behind.
- Squad loss and troop-type loss are different. One squad can be annihilated while troops of the same type still survive elsewhere.
- Heroes and familiars belong to the lead package. A visible five-slot row proves package presence, but not which slot caused the result.
- Small lines can still matter. A small troop type can influence contact, loss order and the completed rally ratio even when it is not the main damage line.
- The report settles casualty questions. Use troop rows to confirm which types actually became loss-bearing; replay motion alone can be misleading.
LINE
WORKING GUIDE This diagram explains opposing direction. The formation lab is a placement study tool, not a guaranteed targeting simulator.
Formations decide who starts in front—and who can be reached next
| Formation | Opening front | Shape effect | Core use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Infantry Phalanx | INF | INF straight front; CAV splits 2+2; RNG rear column. | Present INF; preserve RNG/CAV behind. |
| Ranged Phalanx | RNG | RNG straight front; INF splits 2+2; CAV rear column. | Present RNG; common mixed-rally formation. |
| Cavalry Phalanx | CAV | CAV straight front; RNG splits 2+2; INF rear column. | Present CAV; risky into RNG-heavy damage. |
| Infantry Wedge | INF centre | INF central 2×2; RNG top/bottom split; CAV rear. | Required by the 055 design. |
| Ranged Wedge | RNG centre | RNG central 2×2; CAV top/bottom split; INF rear. | Core 208 setup. |
| Cavalry Wedge | CAV centre | CAV central 2×2; INF top/bottom split; RNG rear. | Specialized and wall-test contexts. |
Targeting and retargeting
Formation shows which troop type is presented first.
The report confirms which troop type actually takes losses.
A squad-annihilation message is recorded separately from complete troop-type depletion.
Mark a troop-type retarget only when the next type begins taking losses or visibly becomes the active target.
Normal repositioning inside an overlapping melee is not enough to prove retargeting. In one linked Infantry-Phalanx mirror, the rear ranged block kept firing, only infantry recorded losses, and the fight ended at morale defeat. That battle is classified as frontline sustained, not as an infantry-to-ranged retarget.
SUPPORTED Formation, movement, squad-collapse messages and loss rows can map what happened. The precise internal target-selection algorithm remains unknown.
How a standing wall changes targeting
The castle opening is not comparable with an open Wonder field. Wall damage and defending fire occur before normal troop contact.
A new contact phase begins. Treat this as a possible target-selection event, not as proof that every squad resets identically.
Use the battle movie and report together to identify which troop types become loss-bearing after contact.
WORKING GUIDE Break the wall before using the MxZ frontline probes so the wall does not contaminate the comparison.
UNCERTAIN Exact siege priority, closest-target rules and a universal wall advantage still require matched current-version tests.
Fast frontline test: two probes, one lookup
Probe A · Cavalry
Formation: Ranged Phalanx30,000 T4 CAV + 19,862 T2 CAV, then 69 T2 INF + 69 T2 RNG. Total: 50,000.
Probe B · Ranged
Formation: Cavalry Wedge30,000 T4 RNG + 19,862 T2 RNG, then 69 T2 INF + 69 T2 CAV. Total: 50,000.
- Confirm the wall is already broken. If not, use the wall-break battalion below.
- Record the last digits of your own kill count.
- Send Cavalry Probe A, record gained kills; immediately send Ranged Probe B and record again.
- Interpret the relative signature. Do not rely on one unexplained number.
| CAV probe | RNG probe | Likely front | Direct troop counter |
|---|---|---|---|
| >40k / clearly high | <10k / low | Infantry | Send Cavalry |
| ~0–5k | ~30k / registers | Ranged | Send Infantry |
| ~10k | >50k / much higher | Cavalry | Send Ranged |
| Both unclear | Both unclear | No reliable read | Repeat; check wall/setup |
WORKING GUIDE These are MxZ working bands for the exact tiered 50K presets above. They are not a universal game rule. Stats, healing, wall state, target composition and timing can move the result, so compare both probes and record the report.
RETEST NEEDED Current-build repeated tests with known troop presets and formations are still required before these bands can be promoted to verified mechanics.
Open the interactive frontline test and result reader →100,000-troop wall-break battalion
Cavalry Wedge
Four siege heroes. If unavailable: three siege heroes plus two Army heroes.
No damage familiars. Never use Pact 5 “largest squad” damage during the test chain.
- Save the exact 100k preset as a battalion before approaching the target.
- Send it only to remove the wall; verify the wall is down.
- Wait for the wall-break march/report to resolve so damage does not contaminate probe readings.
- Run the CAV and RNG frontline probes back-to-back.
How composition codes work
Most numeric codes use literal base counts in the order Infantry / Ranged / Cavalry. For example, 965 means 90K / 60K / 50K—not 45% / 30% / 25%. Scale all three values together. The percentage call 39/26/35 is explicitly marked as a percentage exception.

Families and operating idea
569, 659, 956, 767, 10-2-8, 424, 947, 857, 749, 668. These use an INF/CAV-weighted 2-1-2 hero structure unless a tested package overrides it.
965, 992, 866, 10-8-2, 442, 433, 974, 875. These use an INF/RNG-weighted 2-2-1 structure unless a tested package overrides it.
Zero lines, walls, extremes and castle calls need their own geometry and survival logic. Do not force them into 424 or 442.
A 375K pure leader march on a setup card is not the completed composition. Leader plus fillers must produce the final requested totals.
Composition against composition
This table now reads from Composition Master V2. “Favorable” means a target shortlist from the available evidence—not a guaranteed equal-power win.

WORKING GUIDE Counter-sheet and creator guidance remains conditional on equal-power assumptions, formation, stats and current game version. Promote a counter to a guild standard only after linked reports or controlled repeated tests.
Choose heroes and familiars by job, not by code alone
First label each troop type as main damage, secondary damage, front/absorber or tiny buffer. Then spend hero and familiar slots where they remain alive long enough to work.
Usually two hero slots and the strongest relevant attack/stack familiar package.
Usually one or two heroes plus a damage familiar if its squad survives.
Prioritize shield/HP and survival. One matching hero may support the front even if it is not the top damage type.
Do not waste a hero or damage familiar on a squad intended only to influence contact/targeting.
424: 2 INF + 1 RNG + 2 CAV heroes. 442: 2 INF + 2 RNG + 1 CAV/Army hero. These are working structures; the selected formation and surviving damage lines decide the exact names.

SUPPORTED The 956 package has the strongest combined evidence among the newly completed records: reports, setup pictures, video and workbook material support its 2-1-2 structure and full named package.
WORKING GUIDE RNG Blast uses four ranged heroes plus Berserker as Army support: Songstress of the Sea, Dream Witch, Grove Guardian and Petite Devil. Familiars: Blackwing, Queen Bee, Snow Beast, Trickstar and Jade Wyrm.
CONTEXT SWITCH Pact 5 “largest squad” damage can be valuable in real combat but contaminates frontline test kill counts. “Never use” applies to the test procedure, not every battle.
The final rally—not one march—is the composition
The leader’s troop march joins all filler marches. Therefore the final ratio is the weighted sum of every participant. A leader sending a pure type into ratio-based filler instructions shifts the entire rally and may break its targeting logic.
| Method | When it works | Risk |
|---|---|---|
| Leader and every filler send exact ratio | Safest default; final comp stays planned. | Rounding and late partial fills only. |
| Leader sends a designed correction march | Advanced lead calculates live totals and closes a known deficit. | Requires accurate fill counts. |
| Leader sends one pure troop type | Only when the final total was designed around it. | Can turn 442 into an INF-heavy result, expose the wrong front and misassign heroes/familiars. |
T4/T5 battalion numbers
Choose a composition share, multiply by march size, then split each troop type by tier. The tables below give exact 442 examples; the same formula works for every ratio in the codebook.
| Total | Tier split | T5 INF / RNG / CAV | T4 INF / RNG / CAV |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100k | 60/40 | 24k / 24k / 12k | 16k / 16k / 8k |
| 125k | 60/40 | 30k / 30k / 15k | 20k / 20k / 10k |
| 200k | 60/40 | 48k / 48k / 24k | 32k / 32k / 16k |
| 300k | 60/40 | 72k / 72k / 36k | 48k / 48k / 24k |
| 100k | 80/20 | 32k / 32k / 16k | 8k / 8k / 4k |
| 200k | 80/20 | 64k / 64k / 32k | 16k / 16k / 8k |
| 300k | 80/20 | 96k / 96k / 48k | 24k / 24k / 12k |
BATTALION STANDARD Matching 100k, 125k, 200k and 300k presets can be calculated for every base-count code at 60/40 or 80/20 T5/T4.
Build any composition, total size and T4/T5 split →How to read reports and battle replays together
| Evidence | What it can verify | What it cannot prove alone |
|---|---|---|
| Battle report | Starting totals, formations, losses, survivors and visible lead packages. | Exact movement, activation order or hidden target-selection timing. |
| Battle replay | Deployment, first contact, visible squad collapse, familiar waves, morale and event order. | Exact damage values, every familiar identity or the hidden algorithm. |
| Setup screen | The selected formation, heroes, familiars, gear or talent preset when clearly shown. | Whether the package caused a win without a linked report. |
| Account overview | Inventory, research, permanent stats, gear and saved preset architecture. | The sent troop composition or an attack package that was never selected. |
What the two linked battle views added
An Infantry-Phalanx mirror recorded losses only on infantry. The rear lines kept firing and no troop-type retarget was confirmed before 0% morale.
A squad-annihilation message appeared while infantry of that side still survived in the report.
The losing side still had more total survivors when the battle ended.
In the second battle, the attacker lost its cavalry line, then ranged line, then continued taking infantry losses. Report rows and replay order support that sequence.
The Ranged-Wedge defender took about 98.7% of its losses on ranged, with only minor cavalry spillover.
Animations and status icons appeared at different moments. This supports staggered triggers, but not an exact trigger percentage from animation alone.
Stats, gear, talents and presets are a separate layer
A composition is not fully described by troop ratio and formation. The same account keeps a permanent baseline while the deployed leader state changes with gear, jewels, sigils, talents, heroes, familiars and research-dependent bonuses.
Research, artifacts, castle stars, skins and other account-wide bonuses.
Equipped gear, jewels, sigils, talents and leader-dependent stats.
Exact troops, formation, five heroes and five familiars used for that rally.
Enemy stats, formation, wall, reinforcements, fort bonuses and event rules.
VERIFIED Account-overview footage showed stable base troop-attack columns while Quick Swap states changed deployed attack emphasis. It also showed that gear and talent presets can be separate: a gear swap can apply even when the matching talent preset does not.
LIMIT A preset label such as 208, 055, 7112 or 866 does not prove the troop ratio. Do not decode a composition from its name or stat bias unless a linked march, setup card or report shows the actual troops.
Defensive operating recommendations
- Know whether the wall is standing; a wall creates a different opening from an open-field Wonder battle.
- Read the incoming composition, formation and leader package together. The frontline alone is not the full army.
- Avoid permanent defence rules based on one phalanx or one replay.
- Do not treat a small Quick Swap label, portrait row or account inventory as proof of the sent defence setup.
- After the hit, compare the movie with the report: movie for movement and event order, report for actual loss-bearing troop types.
WORKING GUIDE Formation changes remain operational decisions, not published server rules. Record current-build defence results before turning a pattern into a guild standard.
Conflicts, uncertainty and limits
Kill bands are working MxZ guidance. Compare both probes and keep the exact preset constant.
Useful in combat, but excluded from frontline probes because extra kills can corrupt the read.
The wall changes the opening, but the evidence does not establish one universal multiplier or retarget rule.
The old fixed 40-second damage equation remains a training model, not the server calculation.
Formation, stats, leader package and game version can reverse a named counter. No code is an automatic result.
Portrait-only identification is not promoted to verified. Common packages remain labelled as working packages.
Strong evidence of what was recommended, but not independent proof that every package is universally effective.
Evidence applies to the version shown. Mechanics that may have changed require current-build repetition.

All seven Pact 5 familiars
Pact 5 contains seven familiars acquired through special bundles and events. Six are troop-damage familiars arranged as an Infantry, Ranged and Cavalry pair. Jade Wyrm is the seventh and has a defensive counter talent instead of a troop-killing talent.
| Troop job | Early burst · 4% total losses | Repeated burst · 8% total losses |
|---|---|---|
| Infantry | Bon Appeti | Huey Hops |
| Ranged | Blackwing | Queen Bee |
| Cavalry | Gargantua | Frostwing |
| Defensive counter | Jade Wyrm reduces damage inflicted after 4% of your total troops fall. | |

Dragon Arena registration and battle flow
An R4 or R5 registers the guild during the 24-hour registration window and chooses a preferred time slot. The assigned slot can differ, so the guild mail—not the initial selection—is the final call. Players must remain in the registered guild and pass the entry checklist before joining.
How a fact enters the War Hub
- Capture the exact segment. Record the setup, report or replay moment that supports the observation.
- Separate the evidence. Keep visible observation, creator claim and MxZ interpretation as different statements.
- Check the controls. Compare formation, troop totals, tiers, stats, gear, heroes, familiars, wall state, event and game version.
- Use the correct authority. Setup screens prove selection, reports prove totals and losses, replays prove visible movement and event order.
- Cross-check before promotion. One report is an example. Repeated comparable evidence is needed for a general mechanic or automatic counter call.
- Publish anonymously. Public wording uses sZnoch · MxZ War Hub analysis and excludes private player names and internal source IDs.
