Total Battle Troop Stacking Tables by Leadership Cap

May 29, 2026

How to Read These Tables

All tables use the 1.9× multiplier standard with 3 shield tiers below the primary — the setup used by most competitive players.

Primary: Your highest-tier Guardsmen (the troops you’re protecting)
S1: Shield tier 1 (one tier below primary)
S2: Shield tier 2 (two tiers below primary)
S3: Shield tier 3 (three tiers below primary)

Sum factor for 3 shields: 13.369

Use the Total Battle Calculator to generate stacks for any leadership cap and tier automatically.

100,000 Leadership

Primary Tier	Primary	S1	S2	S3	Total Used
G6	7,481	14,214	27,006	51,311	100,012
G5	7,481	14,214	27,006	51,311	100,012
G4	7,481	14,214	27,006	51,311	100,012
G3	7,481	14,214	27,006	51,311	100,012

Note: troop counts are identical regardless of primary tier — the formula only cares about leadership cap and number of shield tiers. Tier identity affects power per troop, not count.

Two-Shield Stack Reference (All Leadership Caps)

For players who lack enough lower-tier troops for 3 shields, a 2-shield stack is still significantly better than no stacking.

Sum factor for 2 shields: 1 + 1.9 + 3.61 = 6.51

Leadership	Primary	S1	S2	Total Used
100K	15,361	29,186	55,453	100,000
200K	30,722	58,372	110,906	200,000
300K	46,083	87,558	166,360	300,001
500K	76,805	145,930	277,266	500,001
750K	115,207	218,893	415,897	749,997
1M	153,610	291,859	554,532	1,000,001
1.5M	230,414	437,787	831,795	1,499,996
2M	307,219	583,716	1,109,062	1,999,997

Effective HP Comparison: Stacked vs Unstacked

To illustrate the value of stacking, assume G6=100 HP/unit, G5=80 HP, G4=60 HP, G3=40 HP:

500K Leadership, G6 only (unstacked):

G6 × 500,000 = 50,000,000 total HP

500K Leadership, G6 primary + 3 shields (stacked):

G6 × 37,403 @ 100 HP  =  3,740,300
G5 × 71,066 @ 80 HP   =  5,685,280
G4 × 135,025 @ 60 HP  =  8,101,500
G3 × 256,549 @ 40 HP  = 10,261,960

Total effective HP     = 27,789,040

A stacked army has 27.8M effective HP vs 50M for an unstacked G6 army — but the stacked version protects its G6 primary troops completely until all shields die. The G6 core absorbs no damage until 256,549 + 135,025 + 71,066 = 462,640 troops are killed first.

The unstacked G6 army starts losing its valuable troops from the very first hit.

Next Steps

Once you know your target troop counts:

Compare to what you currently have trained
Prioritize training the deficit tier (usually primary and first shield tier first)
Recheck your counts every time your leadership cap increases
