TWE Academy Tutorial: 
Hero Talent Points – Best Allocation & When to Reset


Clan mates, Hero Talent Points are one of the highest-ROI tools in Total Battle. You earn them every time your Hero levels up (3 points early, scaling to 10 points per level from Hero Level 86+). These points go into four branches:

  • Battle Tactics – Combat power (Guardsmen/Monsters/Specialists strength, march speed, double damage chance — the unique bonus here is huge for PvE).
  • Expert Battle Tactics – Training speed, army carrying capacity, and later siege/engineer bonuses.
  • Economy – Construction/research speed, tile bonuses, food/silver production.
  • Archaeology – Crypt efficiency, tar cost reduction, double-crypt chance, and XP bonuses.

This guide gives you the exact, tested strategies top players use for fastest growth.
 

1. Core Allocation Strategy (Top-Down Filling Rule)

Golden Rule: Always fill from the deepest/highest-tier nodes first.

  • Put 1 point across the middle column of the tree to unlock the farthest nodes possible.
  • Then max the highest-level bonuses first (e.g., Guardsmen Strength III or IV gives far more % than lower tiers).
  • Backfill lower nodes afterward.

This gives dramatically bigger returns than filling bottom-up.
 

2. Recommended Allocations by Stage

Early Game (Hero Level 1–80) – Snowball Growth

  • 60–70% Economy (prioritize Construction Speed, Research Speed, Tile Bonuses, Food/Silver Production)
  • 20–30% Archaeology (Crypt Efficiency, Tar Cost Reduction, Double Crypt Chance)
  • 10% Battle Tactics (basic Guardsmen strength only)

Mid Game (Hero Level 80–150) – VP Farming Machine

  • Heavy Battle Tactics (max Guardsmen Strength, Monster Damage, Double Damage Chance)
  • Keep strong Economy for fast building/research
  • Solid Archaeology for efficient crypt farming
  • Light Expert Battle Tactics for training speed and carrying capacity

Late Game / Specialized Builds

  • Pure VP Farming: 70%+ Battle Tactics (Guardsmen + Double Damage) + Expert Battle Tactics for training speed
  • CP / PvP Focus: Mix Battle Tactics (Specialists Strength/Health) + Expert Battle Tactics (march speed & carrying)
  • Balanced / Event Prep: 40% Economy + 40% Battle Tactics + 20% Archaeology

Pro Tip: Always choose Strength over Health in Battle Tactics for monster farming. In Archaeology, prioritize Tar Cost Reduction → Double Crypt Chance → Efficiency.
 

3. When & How to Reset Talent Points

Talent resets are cheap/free early and essential for optimization. Best times to reset:

  • Every 10–20 Hero levels
  • Before major events (Shadow Invasion, Armageddon, Doomsday, Ragnarok)
  • When switching focus (farming → PvP or vice versa)
  • At key Hero milestones (Level 105 and 145 unlock powerful new high-tier nodes)

Reset Technique (do this every time):

  1. Reset completely
  2. Put 1 point across the middle column to unlock deepest nodes
  3. Max highest-level bonuses first, then backfill
  4. Save resets for event-specific builds

Don’t be afraid to reset — it’s designed for flexibility!
 

4. Fastest Growth Strategies for TWE Clan Mates

  • Keep Economy strong early — faster research/building = faster Hero leveling = more points
  • Coordinate with clan: some members hyper-specialize in Battle Tactics for joint VP events
  • Reset before every big tournament for maximum event rewards

Key Takeaways

  • Reset Often: Talent points are flexible — reset every 10–20 levels or before major events to stay optimal.
  • Top-Down Filling: Unlock deep nodes first (1 point middle column), then max highest-tier bonuses for massive % gains.
  • Match Your Goal: Battle Tactics + Expert Battle Tactics for combat/VP, Economy for growth, Archaeology for crypt efficiency.
  • Economy First Early: Strong construction/research speed creates a snowball that benefits everything else long-term.
