A page about the trainable troops in the game Element.
There are 6 types of playable troops in Element: Drones, Infantry, Mech, Vehicle, Mutant and Aircraft. Each have an offensive boost against a certain type of troop. Troops require resources and bitcoin to train and upgrade. Each unit uses up a certain amount of population (pop). The number of troops that can be trained depends on the population limit.
All troops increase in power equally, per population point, for every unique troop learned from the factories
- Tier 1 = 50 power per population
- Tier 2 = 150 power per population (Mutants and Aircraft begin here)
- Tier 3 = 250 power per population
- Tier 4 = 350 power per population
For example, this means that compared to the Stalker - the Punisher is x3 as powerful, the Mirage is x5 as powerful and the Avenger is x7 as powerful. However, each troop in the same class has a different bonus against other troop types, so choosing and researching your attackers will take some planning.
Some of the troops that are lost in battle can be revived in the Federal Insurance Beurau (FBI) for a while. Troops lost attacking will cost Mariants to revive and troops lost in defense will cost Bitmoney to revive.
Tip: If you are at max you can exceed the population limit by reviving from the Federal Insurance Beurau (FBI).
Tixid is used to upgrade troops to elite versions.
