Here are some ways to maximize your points:

1. Join rallies that have stronger players then your own running them, use rally size as a reference if youre not sure.

2. Join rallies with your rally lead hero someone with troop dmg bonus or lethality. If you need help checking on what skill is used in your heros skill page please ask!

3. DO NOT equalize, use a full march when joining or starting a rally.

4. If no one starting a rally is stronger or you have troops left over after joining stronger rallies, start your own rally, and use your strongest heroes as your rally leads

5. Remember, when joining a rally only the hero in the first slot is used as a bonus, so its important to know what hero is there.

Tip: If you really go all out you can boost your dmg and troops by using the buffs in the buff section. (Little arrow pointing up under your profile picture). Be weary, its at your own cost, those buffs can cost a pretty penny (diamonds)

Don't equalize your marches in cage. I'll go over why here. Say you have like 3 ppl and two have strong bonus. But the third doesn't. You equalize over the three and you do damage equal to a third of your troops, with 2 being good bonus but one third is divided plus a low bonus. As opposed to sending a full march to the 1st strong bonus and whatever's left to second stronger bonus you'll maximise your hits.

Sometimes it'll appear early on that equalizing is doing more for you, because everyone technically has crap for bonus. It can be misleading. When our big hitters start really bringing amazing bonus and our smaller guys have larger forces you'll notice how much more damage you'll do with a full march on a big bonus will do

For joining a rally leaders rally:

Use one of the following three in your primary spot which the the first slot:

-Phoenix

-Lofili

-Vivian

-Tyronn

-Devilian

-Lunarl

-Ekko

-Samir

Yes all these heros will help the rally. Want to know what one is best for you? Ok here you go:

This skill in the top right has levels 1 through 5. Use your hero with the strongest bonus, typically Phoenix and Lofili are good ones, Lofili of you're not spending on VIP heros. But examine your team, check who has a good bonus and set troop formations.

This is what's called the primary spot. This is the hero spot that uses the hero skill in in the previous picture. The other two slots are not used when joining a rally, though you should add heros to fill, blue heros work just fine for rally joining. I highly recommend making formations to make joining rallys easier
