Note: The “Advanced” Troops guide mentioned is is the concept of “being more detailed” than beginner guides. It was coincidentally named the same by the developers for their latest addition into the game. Without learning the detailed about Advanced Troops, our educated guess is that these are specialized troops that are strong against specific troop type and weak against others.

With the kill events happening more and more, and conflicts happening. You may want to achieve different goals depending on your relatively size against the opponent. For example, during kill events, your goal is to land as many kills as you can, this is when you want to focus on more

However, if your goal is your own troop preservation, you want to use health and defense buffs to keep more of your troops alive.

Please note that depending on the age of the game, some of the enemy debuffs boost may not be available yet. The offensive and defensive work both ways when you are either attacking or being attacked. For example, if you are being attacked and you have offensive boosts, you will kill more of the enemy offending forces.

Finally, the defending troops at the City can make a huge difference in the number of troops that have been killed. Sometimes the best defense is to keep a huge number of units at your base. Especially in situations where you can tank solo marches and smaller rallies.

The calculation is based on the relative troop sizes between the two forces. Imagine that all troops attack and receive damage at the same time, and that the damage is shared between all the forces.

Note on Various Traps and Artillery Boosts

You generally do not need to worry about boosts for the Traps and Artillery related boosts and debuffs, especially in mid-game and end game. The reason is that you are likely to have millions of rather troops which make the boosts of traps and artillery types minor in comparison.
