Quick answer

Mongol units compared

The Mongol event lists Nökör and Bataar with three stars and Khorchin with four. All three are associated with the Season 1 Battlepass. These labels do not establish a tested combat ranking.

These are the rewards named by the official event listing. This guide deliberately keeps unknown health, damage, range and squad counts out of the table. A blank measurement is more honest than a precise number transferred from an unrelated troop or a differently upgraded copy.

Choose by the missing job

Start with your current army rather than the highest star symbol. Identify the job that is repeatedly missing: first contact, protected damage, mobility or an answer to a specific opponent. Once you own a candidate, inspect its live card and test whether it can supply that job. A collection upgrade and a formation upgrade are not necessarily the same thing.

Make a fair comparison

  1. Record each troop’s level, ascension, selected tree and any temporary modifiers.
  2. Keep the commander and other three slots unchanged.
  3. Use comparable objective situations and record the orders issued.
  4. Compare the result against your usual troop, not just against another untrained reward.

If you cannot make the progression states comparable, describe the limitation beside the result. Do not call a levelled reward better merely because the alternative was freshly claimed. The purpose of the comparison is a useful account decision, not a dramatic universal ranking.

What to measure

For a holding job, note whether support has time to contribute. For damage, consider whether attacks actually connect while the troop stays protected. For movement, check whether arrival timing helps the objective or simply isolates the troop. Record a recurring failure as well as a success. A short highlight usually hides the unsuccessful conditions that matter to a new owner.

Unlock and spend in the right order

Use the pass guide to inspect the route for a reward before spending on summons. Then test the obtained troop before adding Skill Tree upgrades. If your existing formation already does its job, there is no requirement to change it just because a new troop has been claimed.

Is Khorchin automatically the best? The announcement’s higher star label does not prove it. Are these the Archer player class? No; the October 17 player-class event is a separate announcement. Can the table be used as a damage calculator? No; it records announced rewards and a testing plan, not measured combat data.
