Infinite Borders - Eastern Warfare Strategy Game

This is an article about how to effectively progress through the game in S1 of INFINITE BORDERS. If you have completed the New Player Tutorial but still don't know how to play the game, you can refer to this article.

   Key Points for Early-Game Walkthrough

First of all, progress through the game along the Major Issues (Main Quests)

In the Major Issues, there will be quests that instruct players to construct and occupy land. If you don't know what to do first, start playing the game as directed by the Major Issues.

Try to spend more time playing the game right after creating an account

After creating a character, you will enter the initial 48-hour account creation phase. In this phase, players can get some special benefits such as Stamina consumption reduction and resource refunding, so it is recommended to try to spend more time playing the game during this phase.

Meanwhile, there are some things that need to be done every day, so we suggest you handle them while progressing through the game.

Obtain Jades via League Rankings and Events

In S1, after the server is launched, there will be some time-limited events that award Jades. Jades are necessary when recruiting Heroes (drawing units), so you should prioritize them.

Try to Conserve Resources

· Don't get wiped out in battle

The first key point is to not get wiped out in battle. If your army is wiped out in battle, you will need to consume a large number of resources to draft. In particular, drafting will consume Food, which is difficult to obtain in the early game, so you should try to preserve your troops.

· Don't use the construction time reduction function

When constructing a facility, you can skip the waiting time by consuming 20 Jades. However, this will prevent you from obtaining the resources produced within the construction time, thus accelerating resource exhaustion.

Therefore, it is not recommended to use the construction time reduction function.

   Day 1 Goal: Complete the first 5 chapters of the Major Issues

Form a Troop
· You can obtain a 5★ Hero by purchasing a paid pack.

When purchasing Jades for the first time

In S1, you can obtain 5★ Heroes SE Taishi Ci and Empress Dowager He by purchasing paid packs. These two Heroes are very useful. If you buy both of them, just put them in the same troop.

· When reaching Lv.5, a Hero can be equipped with a new Stratagem.

After occupying about 2 Lv.2 land tiles, a Hero can reach Lv.5. At this point, you can equip your Heroes with new Stratagems. It is recommended to equip Cao Cao with Assault, which can be obtained in Chapter 3 of the Main Quest in Petition, and to equip Huangfu Song with Plan Attack.

▼ Lineup after Purchasing Paid Packs

Prioritize the occupation of Lv.2 land

After the New Player Tutorial is over (destroying the Roving Bandits' Camp), the quest of occupying Lv.1 or above land will appear in a Petition, but it is recommended to occupy the Lv.2 land closest to the Main City first. Besides, after occupying a plot of land, you must supplement your Strength to the maximum via drafting.

Occupy Lv.3 land with 1,400 Strength

After your Troop Strength exceeds 1,400, you can challenge Lv.3 land. Just like when you occupy Lv.2 land, it is recommended to draft after occupying it.

· The farther you March, the greater the enemy's Strength

The farther your troops travel, the greater the Strength of the Garrisons on the land tiles they pass through. The greater the enemy's Strength, the more troops you will lose, so you should make use of the Supply Range and March from nearby areas.

Clear the Teaching Rehearsal

In the Teaching Rehearsal, you can see the explanations of the basics of lineups, Attack Range, Troop Type Counters, etc. Clear the Rehearsal to gain items such as Jades, resources and Coins. It is recommended to play it frequently.

   Day 2 Goal: Progress to Chapter 7 of the Major Issues

Construct the Castle and Commander Hall

New players are suggested to construct a Lv.5 Castle and Lv.1 Commander Hall on Day 2. Upgrade the Commander Hall to unlock the third Hero slot in the lineup, which can greatly increase your power and make it much easier to occupy land.

· Increase Stone via Reclamation

Even if you progress through the game according to the Major Issues, you may have insufficient Stone when constructing the Lv.5 Castle. At this point, you should conduct Reclamation 5 times on the occupied Lv.3 Stone Land Tiles to increase Stone.

Set SP Lu Zhi as the Vanguard

New players can get SP Lu Zhi by logging into the game 2 days in a row. When the construction of the Lv.5 Castle and Lv.1 Commander Hall is completed, incorporate SP Lu Zhi into the troop.

SP Lu Zhi is particularly tanky and suitable for defense, and he can serve in the Vanguard position until the later stages of S1.

▼ Lineup with No Recharge

▼ Lineup after Purchasing Paid Packs

· If you can't construct a Lv.5 Castle in time

If you have constructed a Lv.1 Commander Hall but have not yet constructed a Lv.5 Castle, it is recommended that you incorporate Liu Yu or the 2 Command Heroes mentioned above, obtained by Recruiting Generals, into the troop.

Occupy Lv.4 land with 3,000 Strength

Incorporate the third Hero into the troop. At this point, if your Troop Strength exceeds 3,000, you can challenge Lv.4 land. If you want to challenge Lv.4 land, you must make good use of the Supply Range and lower the troop dispatch distance to 1.

Although a draw is possible at this point, you can emerge victorious in the battle that follows the draw. After occupying Lv.4 land, you can continue to occupy new Lv. 4 land while drafting to keep increasing your level.

   Day 3 Goal: Progress to Chapter 8 of the Major Issues

Make Good Use of Liu Bei

Liu Bei, who can be obtained by new players by logging into the game 3 days in a row, is a Support Hero able to recover HP for your Troop Group. If you have relatively few Heroes, it is recommended to put him into your lineup with Cao Cao and Sun Jian. Such a troop can launch Hero Set Skills, which is conducive to taking cities and seizing territory in the early game.

· If your lineup is already fine, it is recommended to dismantle him for his Stratagem

By dismantling Liu Bei, you can get the Wondrous Secrets Stratagem that is perfectly compatible with Vanguard Heroes. If you do not lack for Heroes, try to dismantle more Stratagems and enhance your existing troop.

Occupy Lv.5 land with 5,600 Strength

After your Troop Strength exceeds 5,600, you can challenge Lv.5 land. If you want to challenge Lv.5 land, you must make good use of the Supply Range and lower the troop dispatch distance to 1. If you use Heroes other than the freely available ones, you might be able to occupy the land even if your Troop Strength is less than 5,600.

Once you are able to occupy Lv.5 land, resource production and Hero upgrade efficiency will be improved. This is a perfect time to expand your force.

· Reference Strength of Each Troop

   After Day 4: Keep strengthening yourself as you head toward a Lv.7 Castle

Upgrade Castle to Lv.7

Starting from Day 4, it is recommended that you work towards building a Lv.7 Castle. After constructing a Lv.7 Castle, you can construct a Barracks to increase Strength.

Before starting to construct a Lv.7 Castle, you should try to avoid consuming resources. After starting to construct the Lv.7 Castle, you can build other facilities while waiting for the construction to complete. It is recommended to increase the level of Lumberyard/Ironworks/Mill/Quarry at this point for possible needs.

· Priorities after the construction of a Lv.7 Castle

· When the Barracks reach Lv.10 and the Castle reaches Lv.8, construct a Buddhist Temple.

When the Barracks reach Lv.10, it is recommended to construct a Buddhist Temple. For every Buddhist Temple constructed, the Command cap will be increased by 0.5. Seasonal wars and Marches towards high-level land usually require at least 9 Troop Command, so it is best to choose your main Heroes based on the Command cap.

Increase Hero Level

Starting from Day 4, you should occupy Lv.5 land while training Heroes. The training goal on Lv.5 land is to upgrade your Heroes to Lv.28. If Lv.5 land is located far away, it is recommended to construct a Fortress and then use the Supply Range to March.

· Consider changing the initial Heroes

When the Castle reaches Lv.6, Troop Command will be increased to 8. Therefore, it is recommended to replace Cao Cao and Huangfu Song with Heroes with 2.5 or 3 Command gained from Recruiting Generals. SP Lu Zhi can still serve as the Vanguard, so he should not be replaced. As for the new Heroes, you should deploy them to the Grand Camp or the Center according to their respective abilities.

Please note that you can only incorporate either Sima Yi or SP Sima Yi into the lineup.

Hero Awakens

Heroes can be awakened when they reach Lv.20 and their Initial Stratagem reaches Lv.10. After awakening a Hero, you can let the Hero learn 2 more Stratagems, which will make it easier to occupy land.

If you are using 5★ Heroes, it is recommended to use "Hero Awakens" in Daily Affairs to awaken them.
