How to Disband a Large Force

Tips for Defeating Large Forces


Prioritize the Enemy Officers

Qiao Rui

To disband a large force, the priority should be taking down enemy officers. This is the most consistent way to weaken a large force, as each defeated officer will remove a chunk of the large force's HP bar.

Engage In and Win Duels

Accept Duels When Prompted

Defeating enemy officers in duels will also significantly decrease the HP of the large force, so accept them whenever a prompt appears to do so.

How to Win Duels

Complete Ally Grand Tactics

Ally Grand Tactic

Allies will sometimes initiate a Grand Tactic, a maneuver that tasks players to complete an objective that appears in the upper-left hand corner of the screen. Successfully completing the task enacts the tactic, dealing severe damage to the enemy large force.

Zhang Jiao

A large force is a massive amount of enemy officers and soldiers that has its own HP Bar that appears when encountered. These enemies are usually empowered with high morale, raising their officers' fortitude, making them tough to challenge.

Enemy Grand Tactic

Enemy large forces are also capable of using Grand Tactics, and players will have to accomplish a different set of objectives to stop them from doing so. This will decrease their morale, weakening them and making them easier to defeat.
