Here is a guide from the EC forums. This guide was posted by Robyou. I had absolutely nothing to do with it's creation.
Good ways to arrange your troops
The hero is the core of our army, a good and qualified hero can increase the defense and attack power of the troops, but the importance of troop distribution is also vital for the result of a battle, especially in the situation where heroes in both sides are at the same level.
Every branch of the armed forces has his specialty and role in the war. Through the following diagram, I’d like to compare different branches in terms of Power , with the purpose to help players arrange and distribute their troops better.
The way to use your diagram:
First, choose the branch you want to defeat on the left side.
Second, choose another branch you are to recruit or dispatch on the top
Then find the point of intersection in the diagram and you will get a figure. (If the figure is a negative one—red, then the branch on your side is weaker than your opposite side; otherwise, stronger. And the higher the figure,
the wider the gap.
For example: Destroyer vs Longbowman
First, find Destroyer on the left side(your enemy)
Second, find Longbowman on the top (You)
Then find the figure: 28, means Longbowman on your side is much stronger than Destroyer from your enemy. In a word, Longbowman is one of the suitable branches against Destroyer.
