I finish world war with 51 stars today and a player on Discord ask me about strategy on the last campaign. I think it's beneficial for some here, so I will just copy and paste my answer:
The dawn is like the archer trail 8. Beating it is not as hard, beating it in 25 turns is not easy.
I used this team through the entire World War campaign. I replace the sword to Li once I get it, and at 45 stars I move the medals around a bit.
There are 2 ways I know of:
1) Easier way _ Iron Duke strategy:
The team composition is different, the route is different and he lures Poseidon all around the map, which is pretty smart. I didn't watch this video until I was at round 19/25 of my 3 stars run; otherwise, I might try to use my team to do this. The only issue with this strategy is that in his run, the bottom island AI was able to handle the enemy without help. I had to send 1 hero down there. Also, from the video, it seems like a certain unit has movement restrictions and they might not re-occupy the red target building.
2) Harder way _ My team composition:
I do brutal force, kill almost everything there and knock down several towers.
Reason behind it: On my first run, I could not beat it even at round 33 because I had no idea about the map and what enemy would be there, plus they went behind me and re-occupied my red target buildings (Infantry building on island 3, stable/infantry building on main island) while my heroes are severally wounded or dead, and are busy attack other units. It took me about 5 tries in 2 days.
1) The starter team move around, beat and occupy the factory there. Nothing special here. I do it because it's on the way and land on and land off the island costs similar moves as if I go around it. On top of that, I worry they will send units from there to steal my building.
2) Top: Beat 2 wolves, tower, Poseidon and land on there. Team at landing = Nelson, Pachacuti, Yi Sun-sin, Nobu, Li Hongzhang. Then kill the Frost Giant on the top half of the island while moving east to destroy the second tower/kill Fenrir, then kill and occupy the infantry building. After that, move north, merge to the other side, kill Hades, occupy the archery, then move back to destroy the 3rd tower/Odin and occupy the factory and the north castle. Then move south to help kill Dark Arthur/ South castle and occupy the range building at the bottom right.
Middle: Occupy the stable, then start producing around 4 cavalries to move around and help occupy the building in case the enemy tries to steal it.
Bottom: land on the island, kill 2 Giants, and occupy the finance building.
Middle+Bottom: Land on the bottom half of the main island. Team land includes: Saladin, Suleiman, Attila, Suriyothai, Li Shimin, Moctezuma (Mocte joined a bit late due to staying at the finance building to kill the Frost giant). Then process to occupy the bottom stable and kill Zeus, then merge on the water to kill Hades in the bottom island and occupy the factory there, then move back to the main island to occupy the bottom archery building. At this time, Minotaur and Dark Arthur will engage. It's not too bad here as the cavalry team has an advantage against them, but the freaking Dark A has almost 1K armor, which makes him so tanky due to Nobu was still on top of the island killing Odin, etc.
3) Blucher entered the island, helping with killing fodder and enemies. The healing infantry down there is annoying. In several of my runs, he survives the AI team down there, and occupies the infantry building and spam unit. Then merge on water, avoid the general on the finance building island there as the artillery can stun you. Head to Hades Island to help if needed, then join the 2) middle+bottom team.
4) Special move for Athena/punching bag/healing and debuffing Goddess/: She moves around the north east of island 1 to attract fire (cannon, wolf, tower) and lower their attacks. Then active first healing to heal some wounded allies when they fight Wolf/Poseidon/Tower. Then move southeast to debuff enemies' attacks, and heal wounded generals. She heals again when the bottom team fight against Dark A, and continuously attacks the tower/Dark A to lower their attack.
At the end of my battle, only 2 islands have enemies left (The island on top with a tower), and the finance island on the bottom (Enemies almost die there as AI passes by and beats them hard).
