LEGIONTIDE looks simple: you steer a legion down a track and pick gates. But anyone who gets past the first levels notices that every choice changes the result of the next fight.

This guide covers what the game really does: who beats whom, how the gates work, when to use each power, each boss's weak spot and how the kingdom earns gold even while the game is closed.

LEGIONTIDE controls on PC and mobile

On a computer, the mouse steers the legion. You can also use A and D or the arrow keys.

Holding the left mouse button or the Shift key squeezes the legion into a thin column. Use it to get past holes, narrow bridges and traps.

On mobile, drag to steer, hold to squeeze the formation and tap the power buttons.

• Keys 1, 2, 3 and 4: Shield Wall, Arrow Rain, Ground Slam and Arcane Blast.
• Space: Golden Legion, when the bar is full.
• Esc: pauses the game.

Troop types and what beats what

The game has five troop types. Each one answers a different enemy.

Before each fight, a sign shows the enemy and what beats it. Always read that sign. It also shows how many troops of that type you have.

A giant is worth 10 soldiers and can take 3 exchanges of blows before falling. So with giants in your legion, tough enemies like armored units, wolves and brutes cost far fewer troops.

Gates: add, multiply and trade

Gates almost always come in pairs. You pick one side, and only the troops that pass through it count.

Some gates take troops away: some subtract a value and some cut the legion in half. Check the number before you go in.

From level 2 on, some rows have bad choices on both sides. In that case, pick the lesser evil.

• Add gate: adds troops. Class gates give shieldbearers, archers, giants or mages.
• Multiply gate: doubles or triples the troops that pass. The bigger the legion, the bigger the gain.
• Trade gate: you pay soldiers and get special troops, such as giants.
• Forge gate: turns 10 soldiers into 1 giant. The kingdom's Giant Forge lowers that cost.
• Question-mark gate: cycles through x3, x2, ÷2 and +1 mage. The result depends on the moment you pass through.

Class powers and Golden Legion: when to use them

Each power only works if you have troops of that class. After you use it, it recharges for a few seconds.

Shield Wall blocks hits for a few seconds. The more shieldbearers you have, the longer it lasts. Use it when a rain of arrows is coming.

Arrow Rain and Arcane Blast work in bursts: after you activate them, you tap where you want to hit. The more archers or mages you have, the more taps you get.

Ground Slam can be charged. Holding key 3 increases its range and damage for up to about 1.2 seconds.

• Golden Legion charges as you defeat enemies.
• It turns the whole army golden and invulnerable for about 3.5 seconds.
• You can use it up to twice per level.
• Save it for the worst moment: the castle army or the boss.

Biomes and levels: what changes in each kingdom

There are three biomes with 10 levels each: Green Meadows, Mushroom Forest and Frozen Peaks. A fourth biome, the Volcano, shows up on the map as coming soon.

Level 1 is a short tutorial. In it, each class is needed once, and a one-line tip appears.

The bosses are on levels 5 and 10 of each biome. The other levels end at the enemy castle army.

The first stretch of every level has no traps. Use that breather to study the layout of the gates.

• Green Meadows: ramps to jump and the first enemies with a class, such as archers and armored units.
• Mushroom Forest: trampolines and exploding mushrooms. Bring archers.
• Frozen Peaks: icy stretches and wolves that strike the flanks. Bring giants.
• To enter a new biome, you need to beat the previous biome's boss and have your Castle at the matching level.

How to beat every LEGIONTIDE boss

Every boss attack is telegraphed on the ground about 1 second ahead. Move out of the marked area.

Bosses have a weak spot that takes much more damage. On some of them, it only opens right after a specific attack.

The table shows what to do against each one.

Best kingdom upgrades and offline gold

Between levels, your gold goes to the kingdom. Each building gives a bonus you can feel on the track.

The Castle comes first, because no building can go past its level. The Castle's maximum level rises as you conquer kingdoms.

Construction runs in real time: from 2 minutes on the first levels up to 10 hours at level 5. You start with one builder and can buy more, up to five.

The Farm, the Market and the Greenhouse produce gold per hour. The Storage sets how much you accumulate while the game is closed: from 2 hours at level 1 up to 24 hours at level 5.

• Barracks: more soldiers at the start of each level.
• Giant Forge: stronger giants and a cheaper forge.
• Mage Tower: bigger blast. At level 3, you already start with a mage.
• Blacksmith: shieldbearers can take more hits.
• Archery: archers deal more damage and reach farther.
• Wall: the boss deals less damage and the kingdom's defense gains health.

How to defend the kingdom from the skeletons

From time to time, a skeleton horde attacks the kingdom. If you are away, the defense runs on its own, and your chance of success depends on your buildings.

When you are present, the defense is interactive. Tap the ground to fire arrows from the towers at that spot. Arrows have a limited charge, which comes back little by little.

The attack comes in four waves: skeletons, archers, a battering ram and a boss. Enemy archers aim at the towers. The ram hits the wall.

Take care of the wall. You can repair it during the fight, and a wall that is intact at the end earns you more stars.

• If you win, you get gold, trophies and, with 2 stars or more, a chest.
• If you lose, you lose part of your stored gold and one building is damaged, producing less. No building is lost.
• After each attack, the kingdom gets a shield period with no new attacks.

Quick tips to play better

Look at the next challenge before you choose a gate. A class gate can be worth more than a big number.

At the end of the track, three finales multiply your gold: the stairway, the gold wall and the cannon. With the cannon, more troops mean a longer shot.

Earn stars by finishing a level with a good part of your legion. Every 10 stars, a chest becomes available.
