Rally against a player castle. Wall state, frontline test, blast or mixed setup, and the defending composition must be considered.
CASTLE RALLY · WONDER RALLY
Build the rally that actually hits.
First choose Castle or Wonder. Then decide the final composition, enter the real leader march and calculate what the fillers must send.
The War Academy uses two rally contexts: Castle Rally at roughly 2.3M troops and Wonder Rally at roughly 4.2M troops. The presets use 2.375M and 4.25M, but the calculator stays editable for the rally capacity actually shown in game.
Forts, Base, Baron, Chalice and similar Wonder battles. Formation, pooled troop totals, reinforcement and retarget paths control the setup.
1Choose the final comp
Set the INF, RNG and CAV totals for the complete rally.
2Add the lead march
Use what the rally leader will actually send—not an assumed march.
3Calculate the fill call
Fillers cover exactly what remains after the lead march.
FINAL-COMP CALCULATOR
MATCHCalculate backwards from the rally you want
Choose the rally type and final composition first. Enter the rally leader's real march. The result shows the combined filler pool and the call for each normal filler march.
Preset: 4,250,000. Keep the field editable and enter the capacity shown by the rally lead when research, boosts or event rules change it.

The combined filler pool is the exact target. Full filler marches use the shown split; scale the same ratio for a smaller final march.
WHAT IF FILLERS COPY 974?
The rally stays 974
This comparison assumes fillers use the selected composition without compensating for the leader march.

Fill call ≠ final rally composition. The code is accurate only when the leader march plus every filler march adds up to that code at the moment of impact.
LEADER MARCH SIZE
375k normally · 540k only in Chaos Arena
This comparison uses a 4.25M Wonder rally. If the leader matches the intended ratio—or fillers compensate exactly—the finished composition stays correct at either march size. If fillers simply copy the target code while the leader sends a different ratio, 540k creates more drift than 375k.
Example: intended 965, fillers send 965, leader sends pure CAV375k lead → about 41.0 / 27.4 / 31.6% ≈ 866540k lead → about 39.3 / 26.2 / 34.5% ≈ 857
WHY THE LEADER MARCH CHANGES THE RALLY
The complete rule
CORE MECHANIC
All contributions count together.
leader march+all filler troops=final rally composition
The leader's troops are not outside the composition calculation. The final INF, RNG and CAV totals are the complete troops that enter the battle. Calling 965 only describes the finished rally when those totals actually land at 45 / 30 / 25%.
SCALE
Size controls how far the ratio moves.
The troop type controls the direction of the change; the leader march's share of the full rally controls its size. There is no magic hard threshold. Even a 375k march can visibly change a 4.25M mixed rally when it is concentrated in the wrong troop type.
THREE VALID PLANS
Match, compensate or use a specialist preset.
- Standard mixed comp: leader and fillers send the same ratio.
- Deliberate adjustment: leader sends a different mix and fillers receive a backward-calculated call.
- Specialist comp: use the documented fixed buffer or wedge preset instead of a generic proportional rule.
FAILURE MODE
A different lead march with an unadjusted fill call.
The common mistake is letting fillers send the intended final code while the leader adds a large pure or mismatched march without compensation. The rally can then hit as a different composition than the one used to choose formation, counters and the expected depletion sequence.
The calculator proves troop totals. It cannot promise a battle result—stats, formation, heroes, familiars and the defending setup still matter.
WORKED EXAMPLES
What the calls produced
Finished report: 1,678,975 INF · 1,091,659 RNG · 1,479,366 CAV.
39.5% / 25.7% / 34.8% ≈ 857The fillers sent 965, but the rally that hit was approximately 857.The unusual fill call compensates for the leader's Infantry.
30.1% / 26.2% / 43.7% ≈ 659If 659 was the intended final composition, the backward adjustment worked.Fillers use 569, then the leader march changes the full distribution.
About 33% / 26% / 41% ≈ 758569 was the filler instruction—not the composition that hit.974 compensation example: asking fillers for 10-7-3 can be correct when the leader march supplies the missing balance and the combined rally lands on 974. The fill call may look wrong by itself; only the final totals decide whether it is right.
Decide the final composition → enter the real leader march → give fillers the calculated call. If fillers receive a different code than the intended final rally, say clearly which number is the fill call and which is the final comp.
