Command An Army Tier List (September 2026)

Samurai and Immortal are the best units in Command An Army and both are elite banner pulls with the highest raw combat value and performance in prolonged fights. Mace is a standout unit thanks to its well-rounded stat spread with no obvious weakness. Spear Vanguard is also useful as one of the best defensive units. Imperial Halberder and Elite Javelineer are good but situational. For more detailed breakdown of every unit, check out our complete tier list below.

Command An Army is a siege-based Roblox experience where you get to command your own army based on unit slots and their star ratings. Your Star Limit, a hard cap on the combined star value of everything you can equip at once, so every unit you slot much be worth their value. So, to help you determine that, this tier list covers all 25 units in the currently in game, based on both raw power and Star Limit value.

How Do We Rank Units in Our Command An Army Tier List?

We have ranked all the units based across four criteria. Raw combat value and staying power in a fight as baseline. Star Limit cost is also weighted in because an expensive unit that locks out two cheaper ones can hurt your overall formation. Versatility across both attack and defense is also a major factor. For a more detailed breakdown of each tier, check out the following:

Tier	Meaning	How Many
S	The best units in the game with exceptional combat value, versatility, and staying power	4
A	Strong, role-defining troops that reliably hold capture points, break gates, or anchor a defensive line	6
B	Competent in the right position but punished heavily when placed incorrectly or used without support	9
C	Cheap starter bodies kept primarily for Star budget and evolution paths rather than peak performance	6

Which Units Are S Tier in Command An Army?

Unit	Source	Why This Tier
Spartan [★★★★]	Summon Banner	+ Spartan has the best raw combat value in the game and performs well in every match type. + Comes with a shield making it ideal for defending against charges and ranged enemies. + Deals huge damage from charges and is an overall well balanced unit type if played correctly.
Immortal [★★★★]	Summon Banner	+ Immortal matches Spartan in offensive power and prolonged fights. + Has by far the highest offensive output and can shred through most units, especially unarmored ones. + Can be squishy if on frontline, but unbeatable if attacking from flanks and ambushes.

Which Units Are A Tier in Command An Army?

Unit	Source	Why This Tier
Berserker [★★★★]	Summon Banner	+ Berserkers have one of the highest DPS outputs across all units in the game. + Deal huge damage, especially when charging and are ideal for taking out other players - Have almost no defense on them, making it easy to take out with ranged units.
Mace [★★★]	Summon Banner	+ Mace has the best-rounded stat spread with strong HP, solid damage, and good unit speed. + Relatively easier to pull in comparison to 4★ units and provides good value in any matchup. - Has low attack speed in comparison to other frontline units and has a lackluster charge.
Knight [★★★]	Evolution	+ Knight is the dedicated line breaker in the roster ideal for charging, and no other unit does that job as cleanly. + Knight is also the endpoint of Mercenary's evolution path, which gives it double value as both a summon and an upgrade goal. - Takes a long time to get one Knight unit, and isn't worth the grind in the late game.
Imperial Wall [★★★]	Evolution	+ Imperial Wall are by far the best defensive unit in the game with a huge HP pool and Shield. + If placed in Hold formation, can defend against any unit and tank all sorts of ranged attacks. - Takes a long time to evolve from Shieldman, and severely lacks in offensive output.

Unit	Source	Why This Tier
Scout Rider [★★]	Summon Banner	+ Scout Rider is the fastest unit in the roster and the best flanker available. + Scout Rider evolves into Lancer through Cavalryman, which improves its ceiling and makes it more late game viable. - Extremely easy to counter with hold formations and spear units.
Crossbowman [★★★]	Summon Banner	+ Crossbowman provides reliable backline damage and has better range than Archer. + It works well in the right formation and is wasted outside of one. - Completely dependent on a frontline to function and collapses without a shieldwall to defend it.
Elite Javelineer [★★★]	Evolution	+ Elite Javelineer provides block damage, and range making it genuinely useful behind a shield line. + Provides solid ranged support with better damage and accuracy in comparison to archers and crossbows. - However, Javelineer does not change the outcome of a fight the way A Tier units do and are sitting ducks in close range.
Imperial Halberder [★★★]	Evolution	+ Imperial Halberder have solid HP and block damage but less versatility than Javelineer. + Have one of the highest unit damage across 3★ units, and are useful buffers inbetween unit swaps. - Fine as a secondary defensive unit but cannot perform well as a primary carry unit.
Sentinel [★★]	Evolution	+ One of the strongest 2★ defensive units with huge HP pool. + Comes equipped with a good shield ideal for forming shield walls for ranged units behind. - Lacks in offensive output and unless if played without any backline ranged damage dealer.
Squire [★★]	Evolution	+ The squire is a balanced 2★ unit with decent offense and defense. + Can evolve into the Knight (A Tier), and provides decent value in mid to late game. - Lacks in comparison to other melee units, usable as a buffer inbetween unit swaps.
Spear Militia [★★]	Summon Banner	+ Spear Militia is decent 2★ unit good at defensive plays, especially countering mounted units and charges. + Can evolve in to the Spear Vanguard (A Tier) providing better value at later stages of the game. - Lacks in offensive plays and has low charge damage.

Unit	Source	Why This Tier
Mercenary [★]	Starter/Summon Banner	+ Mercenary is the weakest combat unit in the roster in base form, but it evolves into Squire and then Knight. - Keep Mercenary in your roster not for its performance but because it is the path to Knight. - Cheap Star cost filler to swap in between core units.
Spearman [★]	Starter/Summon Banner	+ Spearman's specific value is stopping cavalry charges. - Outside of that matchup, Spearman underperforms against most other unit types. - Only useable as anti-cavalry or Star budget reasons.
Archer [★]	Starter/Summon Banner	+ Archer is the cheapest ranged option but is outranged and outperformed by other ranged units in every relevant situation. - Evolves into Longbowman, which improves its value by some amount. - Only useable as a filler unit kept for Star budget and evolution progress.
Halberder [★]	Summon Banner	+ Deals decent damage for a 1★ unit, but dies fairly quickly. - Can evolve into Imperial Halberder, but that doesnt improve it much. - Usable as a early to mid game filler unit.

How Do You Ascend Units in Command An Army?

Ascension is the system for strengthening units you already own using duplicate copies. When a banner pull or reward gives you a unit you already have, you can use it in Ascension. Combining two copies of the same unit raises its Ascension level and makes that single troop permanently stronger.

Generally, the Ascension and evolution system work in tandem. You should evolve your starter units up their lines while ascending the summon units you have already committed to, and you build a balanced roster.

WARNING: Ascending units in Command An Army resets their level. So, when ascending, make sure you recheck the levels of your units before proceeding.
