Build Composition: Foundation of a Strong team

The Foundation of a Strong Team Composition in Infinity Kingdom

Building an effective team composition in Infinity Kingdom is more than just picking powerful Immortals and throwing them together. It is about synergy, how each Immortal, their skills, equipment, and elements work in unison. A cohesive march will outperform a random collection of strong Immortals every time. In this guide, we will explore why synergy is a requisite, and the roles and balance of Immortals. Also, the significance of gear and Equipment Stone Inlaid and how to position your units for optimal strategy.

Understanding Synergy: How it Works and Why It's Essential

Synergy in Infinity Kingdom refers to the interaction between Immortals, elements, Exclusive Artifacts and skills that make the whole team stronger than the sum of its parts.

Immortal Synergy: Immortals that complement each other's roles, such as pairing a damage dealer with a support Immortal who can boost their abilities or a tank that protects fragile backline units.

Elemental Synergy: Matching Immortals of the same element boosts your elemental power, granting extra bonuses. 

For example, a fire-based team can apply consistent burning effects and boost overall fire damage.

This explains early game symmetry, in helping Early Gamers to understand the mechanics of Immortals, Elements etc in building a march to meet your game play style. Your March Build will go through many reincarnations with progession in Infinity Kingdom. The changing Meta March, will undoubtedly result in tweaks and overhauls, to counter the NEW TOP BUILD ON THE BLOCK.

Skill Synergy: Combining the right skills from the Tower of Knowledge (ToK) with Immortal ultimate skills is essential. A march with synergised skills can overwhelm opponents with chain effects like stuns, debuffs and burst damage.

Benefits of Synergy

To Increase Efficiency: Immortals work better when their roles complement each other, leading to smoother battles.

Boosted Elemental Power: Element synergy provides additional buffs to your entire team.

Optimised Damage: Skill synergy ensures your march hits harder, faster, and more strategically.

Disadvantages of No Synergy

Reduced Team Structure: Randomly chosen Immortals may overlap in roles, leaving weaknesses in defence or damage areas of your march build.

Absence of Elemental Buffs: Without focusing on elemental synergy, your march misses out on bonuses.

Inefficient Skill Use: Poorly chosen skills can lead to wasted potential, with Immortals unable to utilise their damage or control effects.

Balance of Roles: The Core of a Well-Rounded March

Immortals have distinct roles in a march—damage dealer, tank, support, or healer. Building a balanced march ensures you cover all these critical roles, keeping your team alive while dealing damage and controlling the battlefield.

Damage Dealer: These Immortals, like Wu Zetian, Himiko or Alex, focus on dealing as much damage as possible. Immortals should be supported by skills that enhance their damage output or protect them from enemy attacks.

Tank: Immortals like Richard the Lionheart, Trejan, Charles the Great, or Yi Sun Shin will absorb enemy attacks, protecting the backline. Tanks should have high health and defence, making them ideal for skills that boost resilience.

Support: Immortals, for example,Tomyris, Qin Dido, or Theodora etc, enhance the effectiveness of your team with healing or buffs. Pair them with skills that extend buffs, Physical defence, that inflicts wounds to enemies preventing healling, or increase energy regeneration.

Healer: Immortals like Zenobia Ultimate Skill 'Empress Favour' restore HP to two units with the lowest troop number and ensure the march stays in the fight longer. Immortals should be with skills that amplify healing or add protection.

An example of a Top (S) Tier Support Immortal would be :-

Pros of Role Balance:

- Ensures sustained damage output and survivability.

- Tanks shield damage dealers, while healers prolong the fight.

Cons of No Balance

A march without proper roles may crumble under pressure, with damage dealers falling too fast or support units unable to sustain the team.

Equipment and Stone Inlaid Gems: Increasing Immortal Potential

Proper gear is crucial to making your Immortals as strong as possible. Each Immortal benefits from gear that boosts their specific strengths, and upgrading the priority statistics is important for success.

• Gear: Equip Immortals with weapons and armour that align with their roles. Damage dealers need equipment that boosts physical or magical damage, while tanks benefit from gear that enhances defence and resilience.

• Equipment Stone Inlaid: These gems boost critical stats like physical or magical damage, defence, support, and resilience.  

• Prioritize upgrading: Damage Dealers: Focus on gems that increase damage.

Tanks: Prioritize physical/magical defence and resilience.

Support/Healers: Focus on energy regeneration, healing, and defence gems.

Pros

It maximises Immortal strengths and amplifies their role in the march.

You will discover, that it gives a noticeable power boost in PvP and PvE scenarios.

Cons

Inefficient gear or Stone Inlaid gem choices can leave your Immortals vulnerable or lacking damage.

Formation Strategy: Positioning for Maximum Effect

How you position your Immortals within the march can affect battle outcomes. Frontline tanks should take the brunt of enemy attacks, while damage dealers and support Immortals remain protected in the backline.

Frontline: Place tanks and high-defense Immortals here to absorb enemy attacks. 

Examples include Richard the Lionheart, Alexander, or Poseidon

Backline: Position damage dealers and support/healers in the back to keep them protected. Zenobia, Theodora, and Wu Zetian work well in the backline, dealing massive damage or healing from a safe distance.

Pros

Proper positioning increases survivability and damage output.

Cons

Poor positioning leaves key Immortals exposed to enemy attacks, reducing march effectiveness.

Example of Team Compositions

Fire Element Team: Wu Zetian (damage), William (tank), Hippolyta (Attack/defence), and Empress Matilda (support). Synergise with fire element skills to facilitate effective damage. This setup would be good for killing Gnome Bosses, and you will need a march that deals with these Pesky Gnomes.

Water Element Team: Yoshitsune (damage), Harald (tank), Attila (control), and Zenobia (support). Utilise water element bonuses to sustain the march and control the battlefield. 

Pros:

- Both provide strong sustain and energy manipulation for the march.

- Ideal in teams focusing on survivability and strategic ultimate skill usage.

Cons:

- A lack of direct damage output, need strong damage dealers to be effective.

- Require synergy with other Immortals for optimal performance.

Conclusion: Building the Perfect March

Team composition in Infinity Kingdom requires careful planning and synergy between Immortals, skills, and equipment. You need to balance the roles of Immortals and the optimisation of gear. 

To ensure your march is both powerful and adaptable, it is advisable to synergise both the Ultimate and Tower of Knowledge skills. 

By focusing on elemental bonuses, positioning of Immortals, and the right equipment upgrades, you can create a formidable team ready for PvP and PvE battles.
