Warfront Unit Guide: Counters and Tactics | Playgridia

Rock-paper-scissors matchups
Ten unit types form a chain of counters. Read what your rival deploys, answer with the unit that beats it, and you can flip a fight in a single move.
- Spearmen beat cavalry: Long pikes break mounted charges — push a spear line forward the moment you see horses.
- Archers beat air: A volley of arrows is the cleanest answer to flying units.
- The dragon flies: It soars over terrain to hit your back line, so keep archers ready to reply.
Terrain changes defense
Units standing in woods, mountains or behind walls take less damage. Parking a unit on a forest or a peak turns it from an easy kill into an anchor that holds the front. Capture villages and houses for gold income every turn — more gold means more units from the barracks. Grow your economy and you grow your reach.
Guard your hero, hunt theirs
Killable hero commanders bring special skills — the Warlord's Whirlwind, the Archmage's Meteor, the Ranger's Arrow Volley, the Sky Marshal's Inferno. Screen your own hero with terrain and troops while you corner theirs. The final goal is clear: seize the enemy HQ to win.
