Training is an essential part of Game of War! You need Troops to Attack, to defend, to gather, and to help you support your team. This is the same whether you are in Demigod or the Dragon War Dimension.
In the Demigod Realm, training is a little bit more complex and requires attention to detail. What works for one tier may not work for another. We will take a look at the best tips for training, and then go over which set up is best for which troop tier.
6 Troop Training Tips for the Demigod Dimension
Use the Best Hero
There are a few heroes in Demi that have different skills for reducing training costs. The trick is knowing which one is best for which tier. Later in the article, we will list the best hero per troop level, so don’t worry about that too much!
The most commonly used heroes for training are the Sapphire Hero, Valkyrie Hero, and the original pre-Demi hero that is level 550.
However, you will notice that for T7, T8, and T9 troops, we use the Pre-Demi Original Hero level 550. Why would we do this? The answer is that there are no hero skills that aid in the reduction of those tiers of troops. So we then compare a Demi hero with the Original Hero, since the very first hero still serves a purpose in many Demigod scenarios. What we noticed is a very slight time reduction with the original hero, as in just a few seconds. But, the comparison was for just a million troops, and since we need BILLIONS of troops, those few seconds saved per every million will add up. For your peace of mind, we included screenshots of heroes, without gear, to show you the slight reduction.
You can see that the top original hero is almost 20 seconds faster per one million troops. So for each billion of troops you train, you can save 5.5 hours of training time just by using the original hero!
Skill the Hero Properly
Heroes are only as good as the skills that are used! Make sure that you have a preset made that has all training skills maxed. Most heroes you should be able to near max, if not completely max, all skill points available.
Make Sure to Use Correct Gear
Gear can make a huge difference when you are looking to train troops. Not only will it increase your Troop Training Queue (the number of troops you can train at once) but it will help you to be able to decrease the amount of time it takes to train. Which means fewer speedups or platinum are needed.
Demigod’s best training gear right now is the Demigod Training Gear. This is the gear that looks like old Prospectors Gear but has the radiant level background. If you do not have that gear, the next best is the Ultimate Training Gear.
Don’t Pass Up Research
Tons of research trees offer training speed reduction or training resource cost reduction. By skipping these researches you are costing yourself a fortune in resources and/or platinum! If you want an overview of each Demigod research tree, check out our Demigod Research Guide.
Train With a Purpose
Are you training troops to be your meatshield? Maybe you are you training troops for attack or to fill rallies? Knowing what you are training troops for can help you to be able to decide not only what troops to train, but how many.
The number of troops you need to train directly correlate with each tier. For example, If you are training a lower tier to help defend, you will start with t5 or t6. But which tier makes a huge difference. With each tier that you move up, you will only need roughly 50-60% of the amount of the tier below. Also, if you are training T8 to fill rallies, you will not need to train the same amount of troops as you would if you were training the T5 or T6 for defending your city.
If you don’t do your research and know what numbers you are aiming for when training, you could end up wasting a TON of speeds, resources, and platinum.

A Few Miscellaneous Tips
Training is an essential part of Game of War! You need Troops to Attack, to defend, to gather, and to help you support your team. This is the same whether you are in Demigod or the Dragon War Dimension.
In the Demigod Realm, training is a little bit more complex and requires attention to detail. What works for one tier may not work for another.
First, the training blessings in the Demi realm do not apply to the high tier troops. I know some people will insist on still having one, but it doesn’t do anything unless you are mass training T1.
Second, do not forget to unlock all your training boost in the boost hall! There are boosts to reduce troop, trap, and mythic training, as well as efficiency upkeep reductions. The training boost is under the Economic tab and the Athena Rewards tab as well
Then, make sure you have any training banners equipped. Make sure you have enough resources available. If possible, try waiting for a training event. Usually, these events happen before kill events or after kill events and are called recovery events.
Last, don’t forget the gems! I know it’s been a while, but there are two gems that you can equip in your gear to help reduce the cost of training.
Using Level 5 Gear vs Level 6
Interestingly enough, there are tiers that have a resource reduction if you use a LEVEL 5 set of Training+ gear. Troop tiers 8, 9, and tier 10 all have reduced resources if you train them with a full set of level 5 training+ gear. To see this for yourself, you need at least one piece of gold training+ gear on. So in the pictures below, we are wearing a gold helm and we are viewing the stat differences on a level 6 training+ gear helm. If you didn’t already know, the green stats indicate the stats that increase, and the red stats indicate the stats that will decrease if we were to switch the gold helm for the maxed helm. The first green stats are the speed reductions. If you have no issues with resources when you train, then you would want to use level 6 training+ gear no matter what. But, 99% of players usually lack resources. So then we see that the resource reductions increase for tier 5, tier 6, and tier 7 troops. All looks normal. Now here is the surprise. The red numbers are showing you a 2% DECREASE in resource reduction when training T8, tier 9, and tier 10 troops. If you compare each training+ gear piece you will see the same 2% resource reductions for those tiers. That equals a 14% resource INCREASE for training tier 8, 9, and 10 troops when you use a MAX training+ gear set.
