Closest target
A squad selects the closest eligible enemy. It does not automatically select the troop type it counters.

First inspect one formation. Then use the trainer to place two armies together and watch the target arrows change.

Press Auto play
Select any squad to isolate its route. The small dot marks where an arrow starts; the arrowhead marks the target. Blue belongs to the attacker and red belongs to the defender. Several arrows may end on one squad.
Why can the upper and lower rows choose different targets?
Every squad calculates from its own position. The top squad is closest to a different enemy than the bottom squad, so their arrows may legitimately differ. At the last stage, only a squad whose target faded selects again; surviving squads do not all reset at once. Ranged squads can also be forced to change when melee engages them. Hero offsets appear only where the selected lineup includes them.

Cumulative model damage = base per 10s × troop scale × counter multiplier × elapsed windows
Target lock
One squad attacks one target at a time, although several squads may focus the same enemy squad.
Retarget
After a target dies or the wall falls, the survivor selects again from its current live position.
