Guilds and ranked

Ranked rules

• The map is drawn at random from the current pool, so there is no single map to prepare for.
• You play a single round, and you are assigned attack or defence at random when you enter, so the loadout has to work both ways.
• Everyone starts at the bottom rank, which one creator reports as Warrior 1, so early matches pair you with a wide spread of skill.

A ranked loadout that works

This is the loadout one creator ran in ranked, presented as a template rather than a law. It maps cleanly onto the four jobs our army builder solver looks for.

• Slot 1

  Shield / anchor

  Both sides need something that can hold the front, and the attacker also needs a body to absorb the first volley.

  • Spartan
  • Spear Vanguard
  • Shieldman
  • Imperial Wall
• Slot 2

  Anti-archer

  A random map guarantees you will meet ranged units, so you need something that can reach them.

  • Lancer
  • Scout Rider
  • Mortar
  • Samurai
• Slot 3

  Fire Archer

  This creator says that without a Flaming Archer you are effectively out of the match, while also advising no more than two.

  • Fire Archer
• Slot 4

  Flex

  Fill this slot with whatever suits your play: Immortal for fast pushes, Samurai for breaking a line, or another tank to hold.

  • Immortal
  • Berserker
  • Samurai
  • Halberdier
  • another tank

Your first ranked session

Expect the first few matches to be messy, because everyone starts at the bottom of the ladder at once. Use them to answer two questions rather than to climb. First: when you get handed the defender role, does your army actually hold a point, or does it melt the moment the enemy commits? Second: when you get the attacker role on a map with no cover, can you reach their ranged units at all? The slot you end up changing after those two matches is almost always the right one to change, and it is rarely the slot you expected.

Why ranked changes your army

In casual play you know which side you are on before you choose. Ranked removes that: the map is drawn from the pool and your side is assigned on entry, so a loadout tuned for defending a chokepoint can be handed an open field and an attacker role. The consequence is that single purpose units lose value and generalists gain it, which is the opposite of what most casual lobbies teach you.

The other difference is length. Ranked is a single round rather than a series, so a slow, scaling army never gets the time it needs. Do not bring a composition that only wins once everything is upgraded: bring something that works from the first contact, accept that one of your four slots is a compromise, and spend the star budget on covering jobs rather than on upgrading one favourite.

Guilds

• Guilds shipped with Update 2, and the live game name changed to [GUILD & RANKED] Command An Army, which the Roblox API itself confirms.
• The official Pro pass explicitly provides guild benefits: more guild capacity, a custom guild badge and 20 additional guild ranks.

One source mentions nine ranked tiers, but no public source lists the tier names or the thresholds attached to them, so this site does not publish a rank table.

Ranked FAQ

How does a ranked match work?

It is a single round on a randomly picked map, and you are assigned attacker or defender on entry. Since you cannot choose either, the winning habit is bringing an army that works in both roles.

What is the best ranked loadout?

An anchor such as Spartan or Spear Vanguard, an anti-archer pick such as Lancer, a Fire Archer, and a flex slot you fill to match your own style.

Where do I start on the ladder?

At the bottom, reported as Warrior 1, with everyone else starting there too - so early matches are noisy. No public source lists the full tier table, so we do not publish one.

What do guilds actually give me?

A shared roster and identity. The official Pro pass lists increased guild capacity, custom guild emblems and 20 extra guild roles, which is the only guild benefit with an official description.
