Captains Guide –
Building Your Ultimate March Team

Captains are the tactical leaders who command your marches in Total Battle. While your Hero provides permanent account-wide bonuses and talent points, Captains directly determine the power and synergy of every march you send.

You can bring up to 3 Captains per march, making team composition, artifact selection, equipment, and star upgrades some of the most important long-term decisions in the game.

🧭 Understanding Captain Progression

Captains are unique warriors who command marches against monster squads, player targets, crypts, and resource-gathering locations. Their base stats (Leadership, Authority, Dominance, and Might) are lower than your Hero’s, and they only have three equipment slots instead of six.

You need strong Captains to progress efficiently and advance your overall development in Total Battle.

There are 26 unique Captains available.

📈 Why Your Captain Choices Matter The right combination of Captains, paired with smart talent point allocation on your Hero, can dramatically boost your march power in PvP, monster hunting, epics, Citadel battles, and clan events. Early investment in the best Captains will accelerate your growth and help you contribute more effectively to TWE.

💡 For example:

Some captains excel at monster and epic hunting
Others dominate PvP and player battles
Some provide powerful support and army-wide buffs

Tier System Explained

S-Tier = Best in Slot These captains provide the most powerful, game-changing bonuses and offer the strongest long-term value. They should be your top priority for talent points, artifacts, and star upgrades.

A-Tier = Strong & Reliable Excellent captains that perform very well in most situations. Slightly more situational than S-Tier, but still great long-term choices for building strong 3-captain teams.

All Other Captains These captains can still be useful depending on your playstyle or specific events, but they are generally more situational and not recommended for primary long-term investment.

Key Takeaways

S-Tier captains (Cleopatra, Hercules, Aydae, Amanitore, Carter) should be your top priority for artifacts, equipment, and star levels.
Talent Points are allocated globally on your Hero’s Talent Points tab (Battle Tactics, Expert Battle Tactics, Economy, Archaeology) and benefit all captains in your marches.
Each captain gets their own artifacts, equipment, and fragments to increase star levels for powerful additional bonuses.
Focus on building synergistic teams of 3 captains that match your main playstyle (PvP, monster hunting, clan events, economy).
Early game priority: Cleopatra + Aydae + Carter for fast growth.

This guide is built purely for the fastest, most beneficial growth strategies so every TWE clan mate can build stronger marches and contribute more to the clan.

You can bring up to 3 Captains per march, and their individual artifacts, equipment, and star levels combine with your Hero’s global Talent Points to determine how strong your army performs.
