Counters between the types

Infantry beats aircraft, aircraft beat tanks, tanks beat infantry.

Still missing for this page

Still open: whether the 20% applies to every kind of battle (attack, rally, garrison) and whether research or heroes shift it. Without that, no calculator can say for sure whether attacking a stronger opponent with the right counter pays off.

The arrow points at the type you have the advantage over: you take 20% less damage from it.

The three troop types counter each other in a circle. Before attacking, it pays to know what stands on the other side — the advantage is large enough to make up a gap in numbers.

How strong the advantage is

The favoured type takes 20% less damage from the type it counters: infantry from aircraft, aircraft from tanks, tanks from infantry. The direction matters: it is less damage taken, not automatically more damage dealt.

Type counter graphic: infantry takes 20% less damage from aircraft, aircraft 20% less from tanks, tanks 20% less from infantry.

What this means in practice

Before attacking, check which type stands at the front of the target.
A counter advantage is a factor, not a win condition — hero stats, gear and troop tier still count.
If you field three garrisons, you can deliberately spread them across types instead of building the same one three times.

Where these figures come from

Checked in game and cross-checked against the English community wiki. Where the two differ, it is noted.
