This squad bit off more than it could chew: only one player made it to Round 2.

Troop losses carry over from round to round, so early losses make later rounds worse.

How Doom Elite Works (why it’s great for farming)

Doom Elite is a single target.

What happens in a DE rally

Lead march attacks first.
If the lead wins, the Doom Elite dies and the fight is over.
Joiners behind a strong lead may never fight.
