War Troops 1917 Beginner’s Guide: Tips, Cheats & Strategies to Overwhelm Your Enemies and Beat All Levels

Get To Know Each Troop And Air Unit Type

Most especially on the initial stages, the differences in each army type’s strengths and limitations is hardly noticeable. In truth. Any army type can be used exclusively to win you most battles, although some, on its own, will provide a much more challenging conquest to push through. Before proceeding to the next battle stage, or even considering unlocking or upgrading any of the troops and air units, you should look into each one’s starting stats and description to know how best to use them in battle.

The soldier is the most basic troop type and is at the bottom of the list as far as damage and health are concerned. These traits does not stop them from being a valuable unit to always take to battle as these are the only unit types that deploy in a group of 4. Despite the low health and damage of each one, they can still win in a battle of numbers and with the lowest cooldown period to deploy, you can very much spam the field faster with troops if you utilize them well.

The officer might appear to be an improved version of the soldier but these units work very differently. They come in pairs and have shorter range than soldiers although higher damage, health, and speed more than makes up for it. Deploying them after the soldiers will ensure that they will catch up, although it takes a much longer time for them to be available once a cooldown initiates.

The machine gunner might seem ordinary based on the stats except for his range, which exceeds that of most other units. Machine gunners are deployed in pairs as well and although the rate of fire is not reflected on the stats, it is what makes them powerful damage-dealers. Machine gunners are one of the slowest units as well so they will usually lag behind in a march.

One of the best campers in trenches is the sniper as this unit professes the longest range in War Troops 1917. It takes a while to summon them in battle and they will only appear one at a time. Their range may be their only advantage but can be a huge advantage on defense.

The flame thrower is the highest damage-dealer in the game and, as such, takes a longer period of time to become deployable. Flame throwers also come as a single unit and all his stats are well above average. While he can easily decimate opponents he encounters, long-range units can easily outgun him.

The next unit is what we consider as the best of the bunch. The Mark V is the only tank you can unlock and has decent overall stats and can ignore trenches in its path. It is one of the units that takes the longest time to deploy, but using it can definitely make it very easy for you to win battles once you unlock it.

The grenade infantry specializes in AoE damage and can eliminate groups of units with his grenades. He is also one of the fastest moving units under your command, making him a viable runner if you want to secure the next trench in the stage. The grenade infantry is also deployed as a single unit.

The SMG trooper serves as the beefed-up version of the basic soldier and is equal to the grenade infantry in terms of speed. These units are deployed in tandem and have a fast rate of fire as well. SMG troopers excel in levels where there are no trenches and can give you an advantage in combat on plain grounds.

The trench shotgun has one of the shortest ranges in the available line-up of troops but these units excel in close combat. The lack of range gives them a huge disadvantage in typical confrontations and are best kept as a last ditch effort for when enemies are close to reaching your flag.

The armored car works very much like the Mark V with its own set of advantages and limitations. It can be deployed much faster and lags behind just a bit in terms of firepower. The armored car significantly has lower health than the Mark V but its biggest drawback comes with its unlock price of 3,500 coins.

The mortar is an air unit that can be used a lot more often than the rest. While it can contribute to damage, though, its accuracy is largely based on luck so you may want to replace it with another as soon as you unlock them.

The grenade unleashes a nerve gas that can slowly kill enemy units. This will have no effect on the Mark V and armored car, but it is essential for clearing large crowds of soldiers camping inside a trench. If the nerve gas do not kill soldiers in the trench, at the very least it will prompt them to charge and be at least on equal footing with your soldiers.

The anti tank stands up to its name as an effective counter against enemy vehicles. It can also be used to clear groups of enemies hiding behind a trench but often best saved for its more important purpose. The F1 Camel Fighter is a good air support to cut down the health of enemy troops. It sprays fire across a line and may not instantly kill on hit, but it does weaken both human and vehicular units along the way.

The heavy bomber works much like the anti tank. It can deal massive damage to enemies within its range of blast and comes in handy against both armored vehicles and a large crowd of enemy troops.

In truth, it is not necessary to unlock all units to beat all levels in War Troops 1917. Having a wide variety of troops at your disposal, however, adds a ton of fun and different ways to engage enemies in the trenches and no man’s land. Knowing what each unit can do gives you a sense of what to prioritize in terms of unlocking and upgrading, as well as which ones to utilize depending on the field’s layout.

Maintain A Balanced Deck For Each Battle

The deck you use on each battle is basically a combination of ground troops and air support. You will initially have a limited number of slots to work with but as you unlock and recruit more units, more slots will be added. You can have a maximum of 8 slots and the combination of units you can bring along can be divided any way you want across ground troops and air support.

It is very attractive to consider mostly ground troops in the array of units you bring along. For one, ground troops have a more permanent effect and you have a bit more control as to how long some of them will last. Air support types have temporary, short-term effects and each one takes a while to become available.

On the other hand, utilizing ground troops alone will set you at a disadvantage given that enemies will always have a combination of ground troops and air support at their disposal. Air support typically provide burst damage that can eliminate troublesome enemy units with relative ease.

One big point to consider is that all ground units, except the land mine, fall within the same cooldown timer. Deploying any soldier or combat vehicle initiates the cooldown period and you will have to wait again to deploy any type of unit. Air support units have cooldown timers independent of one another and, in this sense, can be strategically utilized to fire all at the same time.

The ratio of how you want to divide your deck between both ground troops and air support is up to you, based on your preferences and play style but, for starters, at least carry one air support unit with you for emergencies.
