Where should I start learning battles?
Start with Battle Trainer for the fixed Couatl object guard. Build an army, place your stacks and compare losses across attempts. Use the beginner guide alongside practice to connect individual fights with your first-week plan.
Which trainer should I choose?
Battle Trainer focuses on the current object scenario. Neutral Trainer lets you configure both armies. Challenge lets you take turns against AI, and Battlefield Lab compares controllers and their decisions.
How do I prepare for neutral armies and zone breaks?
Practice a relevant army setup, compare formations and keep track of the creatures you lose. A fight you can win may still cost too much for the next guard. Use Neutral Trainer to explore custom encounters before deciding how to break zones.
Can I learn to capture objects without army bleeding?
Use the Altar of Mearea / Mearea Shrine practice entry in Battle Trainer to explore the Couatl guard scenario. Aim for victory without loss when your setup allows it, or compare the cost of several winning plans. Results apply to the simulation and need checking in the game.
