The Battle of Guandu is one of the most iconic conflicts in Generals of Legends, requiring careful strategy and patience. Many players rush in too quickly, triggering the enemy’s 🔥 High Defense Mode 🔥, making the fight much harder. Here’s a better approach to secure victory efficiently.
Step 1: Engage Enemies Outside First ⚔️
When the battle starts, DO NOT attack the gate guard immediately ❌🚪. Instead, focus on eliminating the enemy forces outside the main stronghold. This allows you to weaken their overall strength before moving in.
✅ Draw out enemy units – Use ranged attacks 🎯 or cavalry 🏇 to bait enemies out of their positions.
✅ Pick off weaker troops – Focus on isolated targets first, avoiding large groups that can overwhelm you.
✅ Manage stamina and skills – Save your strongest abilities 💥 for the next phase inside the fortress.
Step 2: Avoid Killing the Gate Guard 🚪❌
Killing the guard holding the door will trigger High Defense Mode 🚨, making all enemies inside much harder to defeat. Instead, focus on alternative strategies:
🔹 Let the guard be – He won’t attack unless provoked. 🛑
🔹 Use siege tactics – If available, employ catapults or fire attacks 🔥🏹 to weaken defenses without direct engagement.
🔹 Flank through side entrances – Some versions of the battle may have alternative paths—check for possible openings.
Step 3: Move in at the Right Time ⚔️🏰
Once the outside forces are dealt with, proceed carefully into the stronghold. Since you didn’t kill the gate guard, enemy units inside will remain at normal defense levels, making them easier to defeat.
⚡ Push in with full force – Now that you’ve weakened the opposition, use your strongest formations.
🎯 Control enemy officers – Target high-priority enemies first to prevent counterattacks.
🏆 Secure victory – Once the stronghold is taken, victory is yours!
🏅 Final Thoughts
Patience is key in this battle! 🕰️ If you rush in and kill the gate guard, you’ll make things much harder for yourself. Stick to the strategy—fight outside first, avoid triggering High Defense Mode, and move in when the time is right!
Try it out, and let me know if this tactic helped you win! Good luck, general! ⚔️🔥
