I entered Viking invasion but faced some difficulty to clear stages. The enemies(?) are level-up units but mine is not so it is not easy to defeat them, even though I use two generals having the healing skill. I am collecting Varangian guard unit cards and not upgrading other units. Only I have units except for basic (given) units are Heavy Lance Cavalry, Heavy Phalanx Pikeman, and Ravenna Elite Crossbowmen but there are not upgraded.
What is the current meta for generals and units? Do you use mainly infantry or mixed units of infantry and charging cavalry? I have Belisarius, Roland, Aetius, Stilicho, Adil I, Dihya, Theodora, Antonina, Ivar. Who are the generals I need to target? I have 3200 medals now. Can you please give me some guides and tips for chapter 5, 6, and 7 (after Viking invasion)?
1) unit composition and main units for battle
2) generals
3) unit upgrade
4) other tips for chapter 5, 6, 7, and 8
Thank you!

If I don't understand well this game, recommend me some posts or keywords to search for. I will start to look through previous posts.

This is a bad guide  Woad Raider+Ravenna combo is much more beneficial strategy than endless farming for Varangians and Noble cav. These units are good. But meta is mobility focused archer gen with Rapid March passive skill. |

Yeah Varangians and Noble cav. had actually been time consuming and now that with a harder s&l its pretty much impossible to pull off, perhaps I am now seeing the beauty of Woad Raiders+Ravenna plus Woad is also easy to upgrade, and aetius active skill . I only kinda used that guide when I've started, maybe it's a little too outdated now. |

It's working though it is less beneficial than it was after the release as counter infantry received anti charge buff. But even before all updates mobility focused strat was better. It was just necessary to find it out which took some time. |

That's why I am skeptical about reading guides (let alone writing them ) before we fully comprehend what is happening in the game. Many advices can be misleading or unrealistic to follow. And there are almost always better ways to find a suitable solution. |

andrei, wyxelix, stoic, Thank you for your comments. Those are greatly helpful to me. Then, what generals should I target? Alfred? Lancelot? Narses?

andrei, wyxelix, stoic, Thank you for your comments. Those are greatly helpful to me. Then, what generals should I target? Alfred? Lancelot? Narses? I would say all of them are great options. To get a unique weapon is not a minor deal in EW7. Besides, Alfred's Raid (after completing the hard mode of his special chapter) is the best f2p Raid so far, with Noble cavalry fragment as reward. And Narses is one of the best archers nowadays. Lancelot is an excellent cavalry general too (when used properly). Probably I would give a slight edge to Alfred because of his special chapter and access to fragments of t5 unit. |

Probably I would give a slight edge to Alfred because of his special chapter and access to fragments of t5 unit. I should target Alfred first and then might be Narses. Do you recommend any other generals for a newbie like me? I have learned archer is the powerful meta. If so, do I need to focus on archer generals? |

If so, do I need to focus on archer generals? 3 last ET games (GCR, EW6 1914, GoG3) are more complex than that and, I think, EW7 is too. Probably we need all 3 unit types - archers, cavalry, infantry - working in synergy to be succesful. Don't forget that sometimes we don't even have a choice and have to use troops at our disposal. I definitly recommend to get Cnut too. Imo, he is the best Infantry general, far better than Hardrada for the endgame. |
