March Unit

Destruction value

The destruction value of a March Unit is the ability of the March Unit to destroy the enemy Formicary. Each unit will have a destruction value. The destruction value is influenced by the heroes from the Special Ants, Soldier Ants, Soldier Ant levels, and Soldier Ant population.

Destruction value for the same situation: Guardian Ants > Shooter Ants > Carrier Ants.

After the Attacker wins, the Defender’s Formicary Stamina will take damage equal to the Destruction value of the Attacker’s March Units.

Formation

The formation is divided into the front line, middle line, and backline, which are served by three squads in the March Units.

1. Front Line

The first squad in the March Unit is the first squad in the line, closest to the enemys soldiers, and directly confronts the enemys front line.

2. Middle Line

The second squad in the March Unit is the second squad in the line, behind the front line.

3. Back Line

The third squad in the March Unit is the last in the line and is located in the last line.
