How to Command an Army: Samurai and Best Unit Strategies

Mastering Samurai and Top-Tier Units

In Command An Army on Roblox, the Samurai is widely recognized as a top-tier (S-tier) unit. Its primary strength lies in its ability to quickly break through enemy shields while maintaining a high attack rate. Because success in this game depends on both the quality of your troops and your tactical positioning, knowing how to integrate units like the Samurai into your formation is essential for winning real-time battles.

While the Samurai is a powerful asset, it is a 4-star unit, meaning you must balance your star limit when equipping your army. Other S-tier units, such as the Lancer (for charge damage) and Flame Archer (for bypassing shields), should be used in conjunction with your Samurai to create a balanced front line that can handle various enemy compositions.

Efficient Leveling and Evolution Strategies

Leveling up units in Command An Army can be challenging, especially for lower-tier troops like Archers or Halberdiers that are primarily used for evolution. According to community reports, the most effective way to grind experience is to find a server with a low player count to avoid interference.

Follow these steps to level up efficiently:

• Server Selection: Join a server with few players or use an alt account to ensure you have control over the battlefield.
• NPC Baiting: Never engage the enemy lines first with your own units. Allow your NPC troops to initiate combat and absorb the initial damage.
• Strike Timing: Once the enemy is occupied by your NPCs, move your units in to secure the kills. This ensures your weaker units gain XP without being wiped out immediately.
• Map Choice: Stick to open maps like "Plains." Avoid complex maps like "Fortress" or "Castle," where unit pathfinding can be buggy and slow down your progress.

Tip

Always prioritize the "Rush" ability if you are using cavalry-based units like Scout Riders or Lancers. Frequent use of the rush mechanic significantly increases your damage output and mobility during skirmishes.

Enhancing Your Army Through Evolution

Every unit begins at Level 1 and gains experience through combat. Once a unit reaches Level 20, you have the option to evolve it into a more powerful variant. Evolution resets the unit's experience level and increases its star rating, but it provides a significant boost to base stats.

For instance, the Scout Rider is often considered a "trash" unit initially, but evolving it twice transforms it into a Lancer—one of the best units in the game for charge damage. Similarly, the Rapier evolves into the Rapier Knight. Keep in mind that for Ascension (merging duplicates), you must use units of the same Ascension level. An Ascension 1 unit cannot be merged with an Ascension 2 unit.

FAQ

How do I get more Gems for summons? You can earn Gems by completing in-game quests, winning ranked or casual battles, and redeeming active codes provided by the developers.

Why are my units dying too quickly? If your units are dying before they can get kills, you are likely engaging the enemy head-on without NPC support. Always let your NPC army engage first to draw fire and break enemy formations before committing your own units to the fight.

Which unit is best for parrying? The Rapier unit is capable of deflecting melee attacks. However, note that their parry ability is ineffective against Mace-wielding enemies, who will crush them easily.
