Best Builds

  • PvP build: use Olive only when your troop type, gear, and partner hero support the same combat plan.
  • PvE build: prioritize consistent clears and event value before niche damage setups.
  • F2P build: delay heavy investment until Olive's shard sources fit your account.

Best Pairings

  • Amane: similar Cavalry or Combat role for formation testing.
  • Diana: similar Cavalry or Combat role for formation testing.
  • Edwin: similar Marksman or Growth role for formation testing.
  • Use pairings that improve the same battle purpose instead of mixing unrelated bonuses.

Formation Tips

  • Match Olive with Cavalry research and gear where possible.
  • Do not judge a formation by power alone; check whether the frontline, damage, and support roles work together.
  • Test before spending rare shards or speedups.

Upgrade Priority

  • Upgrade Olive when the hero is part of your main march or solves a specific PvP, PvE, or event bottleneck.
  • Check source availability before using universal shards.
  • Keep buildings, research, and gear aligned with the hero plan.

Common Mistakes

  • Upgrading only because the hero is Legendary.
  • Ignoring troop type and formation role.
  • Spending shards before checking related heroes and source access.

Story

War does strange things to people. Olive used to be an accomplished baker before the troubles. It was then she discovered her extraordinary talent for archery.\nWar did not come easily to the gentle baker-turned-markswoman. Before the war, the only time Olive had ever so much as raised her voice was in response to troublesome customers. Olive's archery exploits have attracted plenty of attention, even rumors that she is of royal blood. She hails from a far northern land—that much is known. There is something striking about the rumor of a runaway princess. But these questions will not be answered for now. The last person she caught snooping had to be rescued by the Village Constable after a head injury. After that her admirers learned to focus on the present. If Olive has a best friend that must be Chenko, the only customer who actually seems to like what she stocks on the shelves. Olive's baking skills are a mixed bag for others. Either there's "too much flour", "too much water" or "not enough of either". As some of her critics are fond of saying: "Olive's bakery shows that staying hungry is always an option." North beyond the viking land stands the mighty Empire of Gold, symbolized by the emblem of curling golden flower buds.Said to be defended by great legions, a holy corps of warrior-priests, and ruled by an undying emperor of supreme knowledge and power, little has been heard of the empire for the last few decades.The sudden lack of news is rather mysterious. Is it any coincidence the southern lands have also recently seen an influx of proselytizers of a strange new sect?
