War Inc Rising Beginner Guide Wiki – Priorities, Summoning
1) Early priorities (levels 1–60)
Speed up combat — enable the highest reliable speed you can handle (up to 4x where available) to clear content faster.
Fill slots before merging — it’s better to have more units in your roster than to merge prematurely and leave empty slots; empty slots drop your effective power.
Claim every reward — the game is generous with free gems, summon scrolls, and resource chests. Claim daily missions, event rewards, and mailbox items.
Use the permanent summon if your goal is consistent addition of legendaries and long-term value; use limited summons when chasing a specific unit or event.
2) Summoning and merging strategy
Permanent vs limited summon
Permanent summon is steady and better if you want to add legendaries over time.
Limited summon often has higher temporary rates for certain rarities but is short-lived; use it when chasing a particular banner unit.
Merging basics
Merging increases merge level, which raises stats and can enable higher-level merges later.
Merge only when you have a purpose (to unlock a stronger unit, to reduce mana strain, or to create space for better units).
When merging, remember: a temporary dip in team power after merging is normal; the target is higher long-term power once you refill slots.
Forge stones and progression
Forge stones are required to push the maximum merge tier higher. Track where forge stones drop (shop, progress rewards, summon events) and save them for impactful upgrades.
3) Team composition and slot management
Mana and slot economy
Each rarity uses a fixed mana cost (common = low mana, legendary/mythic = highest mana). Adjust which characters you place in your party according to mana limits.
Sometimes a high merge-level common with lower mana is more efficient than a low merge-level legendary that costs a lot of mana. Compare raw stats before deciding.
Placement matters
There are soft advantages to front/mid/back rows. Place tanks and sustain units in the front, durable burst or utility in mid, fragile high-damage units in back.
Some units have role-based positioning (assassins benefit from front positions, ranged mages from back). Test swaps to see performance changes.
Swap and test frequently
Don’t treat your team as fixed. Replace commons with epics/legendary as soon as their stat-to-mana tradeoff improves your overall formation power.
4) Combat and mode-specific tips
Battle speed and auto-play
Use 4x speed when you can monitor a few rounds; the faster you play, the more efficient your grind.
When farming specific modes, enable auto-merge features to free up your time while still progressing.
Arena and PvE
In arena or competitive modes, target opponents whose teams you can out-rotate or counter. Small stat advantages and correct formations often beat brute force.
For PvE and special trials, sometimes lower-power but better-synergy teams outperform raw power teams.
Co-op and group modes
Co-op rewards are significant; coordinate with partners if possible. If teammates retreat, don’t panic — you still get value and practice.
5) Buildings, offline progression, and long-term growth
Unlocking idle systems
At level 61 you unlock buildings for passive income (sawmill, gold mine) and the command center for free gems. Upgrade these as soon as you can absorb the wood/upgrade costs.
Resource balance
Collect wood and gold consistently; do not hoard resources without a plan. Spending on building upgrades often gives compounding returns (more offline income or recruitment materials).
Use the planet log and daily deals
Planet log and daily deals frequently give construction materials, speedups, and recruitment currency. Claim them and schedule upgrades.
6) Recruitment and resource spending
Recruitment economy
Coins are used to recruit units into your barracks. Recruit strategically when you need specific merge fodder or want to trial a new unit.
Save vs spend
Save for events or guaranteed banners if you want specific characters; otherwise, convert small gains into frequent recruitment to expand your options.
7) Positioning, merges, and the “merge paradox”
The merge paradox: merging temporarily lowers raw power but can unlock higher long-term potential.
If your immediate goal is to beat a content gate, avoid large merges unless you can immediately refill slots with stronger units.
If you are building for longer-term top-end power, schedule merges when you can backfill slots from summons or purchases.
8) Advanced tips and efficiency hacks
Use roster testing: put a unit in the party briefly to view exact stats before committing; this helps evaluate mana efficiency.
Prefer higher merge-level commons over low merge-level legendaries when mana points are tight — always compare raw attack and HP numbers per mana point.
Engage event modes — they often have better chances or rewards for shards, summon currency, or forge stones.
Manage merge stones and forge stones carefully; don’t spend on increments that won’t change your playstyle or unlocks.
War Inc Rising rewards players who think in terms of slot economy and long-term scaling. Focus on keeping your party filled with efficient units, use summons and merges strategically, and invest in offline systems. Small, repeatable choices add up more than chasing a single shiny summon.
