My Recommendation for Main March from Beginning through to Conquest

Introduction

In Infinity Kingdom, your main march is your most important investment. As a low-spender, you’re not going to be building multiple maxed-out teams in the early game. You’re choosing one march to pour your resources, skills, and time into—and if you make the wrong choice, you’ll feel the consequences later in Conquest when you’re up against more optimized teams.

This is why picking a solid and scalable march from the very beginning is crucial. Ideally, you want a team that is strong from level 0, can help you dominate in Arena and PvE, and has strong late-game potential when you enter Conquest. One of the best—and perhaps most underestimated—options for low-spenders is Fire.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through the ideal low-spender Fire progression path, explain how and why it works, and help you set up a team that will remain viable and competitive all the way from the first day to your castle hitting level 55 in Conquest.

Starting Out: Why Fire?

Fire is the perfect element for low-spenders because it offers several advantages:

Early availability: Core Fire Immortals can be obtained through events, the market, or free sources.
High burst damage: AoE-focused, Fire excels in both PvE and PvP.
Synergy with powerful skills: Fire’s top mages synergize extremely well with Death Breath (DB) and Chase, two of the strongest offensive skills in the game.

From the start, you’ll be building your march with the future in mind. That means developing a DB/Chase Wu build from early season 1, and building toward a full Season 2/Conquest-ready team.

Season 1 Fire Progression: Wu Carry

In your first season, your primary damage dealer will be Wu, who becomes devastating when paired with DB + Chase. Her active skill hits multiple times, which gives her many chances to trigger Chase, resulting in explosive damage.

Here’s how your team will look by the end of S1:

Wu (Main DPS – DB + Chase build)
Cyrus (if obtainable, otherwise use Gilgamesh or just go Qin from beginning)
William into Trajan once Golden Path is released (crit-buffs)
Hippolytta (Good dmg and energy regen control).

Empress Wu is the centerpiece. As long as you build her talents correctly and prioritize her artifact, she will carry your fights. If you don’t yet have Cyrus, Gilgamesh is a fantastic placeholder who provides solid DPS and is easier to obtain early on.

Trajan and Hippo will also stay with you long-term, making them smart investments from the start.

Skill Focus

Equip Death Breath and Chase on Wu as soon as possible. Use Annihilation last slot against non-control setups and use Fighting Master against all teams with control (shadow, earth mainly). Until you unlock these, you can use: Nova (only Toxin so you dont burn stack) and Chase with Fighting Master for control immunity or Concentration for damage early on.
Focus artifact development on Wu first, then Hippo. Make sure to unlock one of each as early as possible, getting effects for all four immortals. After that, tunnelvision hard on Wu’s artifact and get a maxed Wu artifact with crit % top and Annihilation Bonus. Once you get that, upgrade all the way and reroll until you get crit% as secondary stat too.
Boost gear on Wu and Hippo first to ensure survivability and damage.

Season 1 performance vs whale:

Season 2: Talents and the Support Swap

Season 2 introduces Immortal Talents, changing how you build your march. To take full advantage, Wu must be paired with a Support role, allowing you to power up her damage early on through the insane support talents.

This is where you need a support immortal at Level 8 specialization to unlock Wu’s potential. That means you’ll need a ton of fragments, so accessibility becomes key.

Support Options for Low-Spenders

Qin Emperor: The go-to choice.
- Easy to max.
- Offers Wounds
- Basically decent immortal and most importantly highly accessible, quick and cheap.
Mathilda: A better support overall if you’re investing in the Golden Path.
- Strong ultimate synergy.
- Slower to build but superior in the long term.
Tomyris or Theodora: A top-tier support, but very fragment-heavy and more suitable for spenders or different teams since you need over 3K fragments to max.

Your priority should be to max Qin quickly, or commit to building Mathilda over time through Golden Path events.

Conquest and Beyond: Final Form Fire

By the time you reach Conquest, your Fire march should look like this:

Qin/Mathilda (Support, if built – otherwise stick with Qin)
Wu (Still your carry, now even stronger with talents and refined skills)
Trajan (Unchanged, his role only becomes more valuable as you need a tank-type to equip top tier ToK skills)
Hippo (One of the only regen controllers, critical in high-end PvP)

At this point, you can begin upgrading artifacts to match your opponents. Keep Wu’s artifact as your first priority, followed by Hippo. Make sure all four immortals have at least mid-level talent trees completed, with Wu ideally maxed and with your support maxed asap.

Even in Conquest, this march remains fully viable. You’ll be able to punch above your spending level in Arena, KVK, and IBL.

Final Thoughts

Fire is the perfect element for a low-spender to invest in from day one. Not only is the team affordable and efficient, but it scales with the content and only becomes stronger over time.

By investing in Wu early, maximizing her synergy with DB + Chase, and preparing a strong support like Qin or Mathilda, you’re setting yourself up for success throughout every stage of the game.

No need to switch elements. No need to re-roll. Just smart, efficient, explosive Fire damage that scales from level 0 to castle 55—and beyond.
