Absolutely! Here’s a polished and engaging Infinity Kingdom player guide based on your intel-gathering tip:
Infinity Kingdom Guide: How to Scout Enemy Marches Without Attacking
Introduction
Ever wondered what your enemy is running—without having to risk a march or start a war? Good news: you can gather valuable information on enemy lineups without engaging in battle. This trick is especially useful during tense periods like Kill Events, server wars, or Contention of Relics, where a single attack can have major consequences.
In this guide, we’ll walk through how to passively scout marches, what kind of information you can infer, and how to use that intel to gain a tactical edge.
The Trick: Reading March Info Without Fighting
Step-by-Step
- Observe March Animations: When an enemy player sends out a march—whether to gather, reinforce, or move between castles—you can click on their march.
- Tap on the Marching Icon or Avatar: This allows you to see troop types being used in that formation.
- Pay Attention to Unit Icons and Arrangement: You won’t see exact immortals or skills, but you can see which types of troops are being used—infantry, cavalry, bowmen, or spearmen.
What Can You Learn?
Even this small window gives you a surprisingly large amount of intel. Here’s what to look for and what it can tell you:
1. Troop Composition
You’ll see which unit types are present. For example:
- Two cavalry might suggest Alex + Yi Sun-Shin in an Earth setup.
- Spearmen + Shieldmen suggests a shadow Tutankhamun + Bjorn setup (or Wukong + YSS if whale battling)
- Cavalry + Shieldmen often point to hybrid setups like the popular Alex + Hannibal but can also be a dual tank earth YSS + Charles.
- Two Shieldmen is most likely a fire team coming at you (Trajan, Hippo)
2. Formation Purpose
You can often tell if it’s a gathering march, garrison, or PvP team based on the type of troops and how well-balanced the comp is. If you see a full cavalry march with no defense—it’s probably meant for quick strikes, not sustain.
Practical Use Cases
During Kill Events, Legion of Frostborne or Relic Fights:
- Know what you’re walking into before you engage.
- Identify weak marches to intercept for easy points.
- Pick your battles: avoid counters and target vulnerable teams.
Planning a Rally or Defense:
- Help your alliance prepare the right buffs or formations.
- Predict if the enemy will rely on silence, burn, leech, or burst.
- Know when to bring out your hard counters or support tools.
BONUS TIP: Spotting a fake march. Some players are not clever enough to use four different immortals when they are sending a fake march. So when you see something marching towards you in Illusion Battlegrounds that isnt a complete setup you know to disregard it!
Why This Matters
Information is power in Infinity Kingdom. By learning to gather intel without initiating combat, you gain a free strategic advantage—and that’s especially important if you’re fighting against stronger opponents or playing a support role.
Many players don’t even realize this feature exists, so using it gives you a tactical edge with zero cost.
Final Thoughts
Scouting doesn’t always have to involve risk or aggression. With a little attention to detail, you can out-think your enemies before you out-fight them. This method of passive scouting is perfect for players who value strategy and precision over brute force.
So next time you’re watching enemy marches move around Norheim, click in, check the setup, and start planning. The smartest commander wins—often before the first hit even lands.
