(Battle)
3. Battle
After Assembly upgrades to Lv 15, you should manually replenish your troop loss in battle. If the battle lasts for 20 rounds, it will end in a tie.
1) Divinity
a. One Divinity is restored per hour or per upgrade of Assembly. You are able to buy Divinity with Gold when you reach certain VIP level.
b. Your loss in battle will not consume Divinity before Lv 35 (including Lv 35).
2) Heroes, Troops and Battle Magic
Mouse-over the attributes, troops and battle magic in Hero Attributes panel for more details.
a. The hero level is limited by that of the assembly.
b. You can renascence your hero when he reaches Lv 51. His level will become 1 or above with attributes unchanged, but the grade of his troops will be leveled up.
c. Mobility: Mobility refers to block and dodge, which can effectively defend against the Valor Hit. The hero with high mobility will not increase his morale after blocking or dodging.
d. Comprehensive abilities: The hero has average abilities on dodge, block and critical strike.
e. Morale: When the magic troops are struck by Valor Hit or Spirit Hit, their morale will increase by 25. The troops that being struck by mechanical troops will not increase morale.
f. Inspiration: When the morale reaches 100 points or above, magic troops will launch a Spirit Hit. When being hit by Morale Suppression, the magic troop can still launch a Spirit Hit with 100 or above morale. The morale of magic troops will soon disappear after attacking.
g. Deserting: Reduce your number of soldiers in each round. Only the NPC can use this skill.
h. Dancer: Inspire one troop, but may miss the target sometimes. The success rate of inspiration is random, which have something to do with the level difference between Dancer and the target troop.
i. Bugler: The boost of Bugler is 100%. Bugler boosts the morale of all the troops while reducing the enemies’ morale. Bugler increases the morale by 30 points in each round.
j. Healing Priest: Element Hit affects the healing effect of Healing Priest.
k. Mechanical Troops: This kind of troops has higher Valor Hit against a single target. Cyclops' Armored Chariot with strong Valor Shield and Spirit Shield can be used as tanks in the front of your formation.
l. Troops and Formation: Deploying the heroes in specific formation wisely to win a battle. For instance, Toxotes with strong defense is effective in Testudo but not in Boar’s Head.
m. Rally: Rapidly increase the defense of formation. Any hit, except for the Element Hit, inflicts 1 point damage on the Rally.
n. Morale Suppression: this battle magic will not hit the troop of no morale.
o. Sally Outburst: Once the troop with Sally Outburst begins its Spirit Hit, its moral will not disappear until being stolen or suppressed.
p.Both Valor Hit and Spirit Hit can be dodged. However, when Valor Hit can also be blocked, Spirit Hit cannot be blocked.

4) Formation
In Batheo, there are 8 formations for you to choose. You can upgrade the formation to deploy more heroes and improve your fighting strength. A Lv 2 formation can deploy 3 heroes, Lv 5 for 4 and Lv 10 for 5.
1. Testudo: increase Block
2. Lochoi: increase Valor Hit
3. Boar's Head: increase Spirit Hit
4. Crescent: increase Critical Strike
5. Inverted Wedge: increase Dodge
6. Gramarye: increase Element Hit
7. Padmavyuha: increase Counterattack
8. Skein: increase defense
You can check the formations in Technology panel in Academy.
a. There is no a versatile formation in battlefield, nor a perfect combination of heroes. You should upgrade at least two formations to flexibly deploy the heroes.
b. The decentralized formations like Padmavyuha, Skein and Inverted Wedge focus more on defense; Boar's Head and Lochoi, on attack. Strike in Line and Strike in Column are the bane of Boar's Head and Testudo.
c. Heroes with battle magic perform their skills only with full morale. It’s necessary to recruit one or two heroes with mechanical troops, especially when you challenge Aeacus. Of course, too many mechanical troops may become the easy targets due to their low defense.
d. The order of attacks in the formation: (the attacking side)
7 4 1
8 5 2
9 6 3
In the first round, the hero of the attacking side hits first, and then counterpart from the defending side.
