War Inc: Rising is a unique strategy game that might seem easy at first, but gets difficult quite quickly, especially when you start taking co-op mode into account. Read on for a guide to building the best team, mythics, followers, hunting, infinite war, battle drills, and more!
To build the most effective team possible when you have limited slots and tons of heroes, first, when you are building your team, tap on the four squares icon and press “recall all“ in order to pull every single one of them out of your active lineup. Then, use the “combine“ button at the bottom left corner of the screen to merge every single one of them at the same time. Merge more than once if you have to in order to make sure everybody is fully merged.
Forge stones are required in order to merge troops past level 6. Forge stones are highly expensive, and the merge boost is not necessarily worth it unless you are a whale or a highly paid pay-to-win player. You can build a good team for free without having to spend money on forge stones, and although you can get free forge stones in some ways, it takes forever to grind them.
After you combine everyone, then, when you are choosing who to combine, organize your team members by their merge level, not by rarity. Merge level beats rarity every time, especially because more common troops cost less mana to put in your party. Only then, if you have mana left over, start pulling out your most common and least merged team members and replacing them with mythic and other team members of a higher rarity in order to increase your overall battle power just a little bit more.
Summoning will get you team members of a higher rarity, and mythic are especially valuable, but don’t forget about good old-fashioned recruiting using coins. Do as many recruits as possible to load up on common and uncommon heroes that you can merge. Not only is every single one of them valuable because every single one of them can be merged, but recruiting is also how you gain experience levels, allowing you to unlock more parts of the game.
Building your team for the arena, for infinite war, and for hunting is the same as it is for building your team for the main quests. Battle drills have a built-in team for each level, so there is no team modification to do here; instead, use your finger to draw a path for each character to move. Move the exploding bomb characters so that they hit as many enemies as possible.
Co-op mode is the one part of the game where there’s an entirely different method of gameplay. Here, you’re going to want to try to get everybody upgraded as quickly as possible to the highest rarity that you can, and you can only use the mythic heroes that you have previously unlocked in the main part of the game, which is why you want to unlock as many mythics as possible.
The most effective way to summon troops here is to upgrade your summoning rarity, and use your silver coins to upgrade your gold mine, but stop upgrading once the upgrades get too expensive. Once you unlock the second gold mine, start upgrading again. Repeat this for the third gold mine and more, and as your gold coin income increases, you will be able to spend coins not only on upgrading the power levels of all of your troops, but on spinning the wheel to unlock more troops of a higher rarity.
In co-op mode, when you have a solitary legendary hero, there is a 25% chance to transform it into mythic if you try. When it’s two legendary heroes, it’s a 50% chance. At the next merge level, then it becomes a 100% chance.
Put your highest rarity heroes, especially your mythic heroes, toward the top of the screen, because in co-op mode, you and your teammate are trying to work together to defeat enemies. Putting them here allows them to not only attack your own enemies, especially bosses, but to attack the enemies from your teammates signed to the screen as well. it’s also recommended to move them around so that they can continue to do damage to the bosses when the bosses show up and walk past them; this will make it easier to defeat tougher boss enemies.
Followers might seem completely worthless and hard to figure out at first, but they actually do serve a purpose. They only show up in co-op mode; they show up near where the enemies spawn, and will unleash various attacks and special moves at them. There is nothing that you can do to get them to show up or choose which ones appear, though; it’s entirely random.
To get more mythics, keep leveling up until you unlock the wheel, then spend your gems on spinning the wheel, as this is where you can get the most mythics; many of them are exclusive to the wheel only. Some of them can also be found via the various summons within the game.
