War and Order Terms Glossary: Resources, Troops and Upgrades
A War and Order terms glossary: Azurite, T14, March Size, Obsidian, Runestones, Colossus and more, with numbers from WaoHive's tables and the limits of what they show.

How to read this glossary
This War and Order terms glossary covers the words you meet in WaoHive's tools and tables, many with a number from our data. Azurite, for example, is spent on upgrades, and a Gold Totem takes 302,940 Runestones. Troops run from T1 to T14, and an ability on a Colossus costs 31,400 crystals to max.
We only define what the data and tools show. Many tables give a cost without saying how the game hands the item out, so where a meaning is not clear from the data, the entry says so. None of the values has been verified in the game, and some are known to be doubtful.
Resources and upgrade materials
These are the things the tools count. The totals are for the path named in each row.
| Term | What it is in the data | Example |

| Azurite | Upgrade currency, tracked from the mine, Royal Challenge, monthly card, chests and packs | Royal Challenge pays 45 at wave 1 and 200 at wave 10 |
| Food, Wood, Stone, Iron | The four basic resources for buildings and troops | T14 Infantry uses all four |
| Gems | Can cover missing Speedups in the Speedups calculator | Gem figures there are estimates |
| Speedups | Normal or recruitment time items, counted in hours | The calculator adds both types together |
| Crystals | Colossus ability cost, sold in Packs as Titan Crystal | 31,400 per ability |
| Ancient Relics | Second Colossus ability cost, charged in lump sums | 1,255 per ability |

| Talent points | Beast talent cost | 267,705 for a full tree |
| Scrolls | Beast skill XP item | 50 XP each |
Buildings, troops and speed
Most long-term planning on the site comes back to these. Names such as Baron and National appear as options in the Speedups calculator.
| Term | What it is in the data |
|---|---|
| Castle, Sacred Castle | The building the Planner's milestones follow. Sacred Castle I, II and III are the levels after 40 |
| Barracks, Sacred Barrack | Unlocks troop tiers: T11 at 34, T12 at 37, T13 at 40, then T14 at Sacred Barrack II and III |
| T1 to T14 | Troop tiers. Each has its own cost, time, event points and battle power, from 1 point at T1 to 230 at T14 |
| Frontline, Backline | Infantry and Cavalry, or Archer and Mage, on the Dashboard. T14 unlocks for Frontline first |
| Angels | A separate troop line with its own tiers, tied to Guardian Temple levels rather than Barracks |
| Recruitment speed | The percentage you enter in Speedups. Only T12 timing has been measured against it |
| Baron, Grand Duke | Titles with a +5 and +6 recruitment bonus in the data. Their effect on time is unconfirmed |
| National | Recruitment bonus levels from +8 to +26. Also unconfirmed |
| High College, Mystic College | Research trees paid for in azurite. Mystic College has branches for each troop type and Angels |
| Battle power, event points | Per-troop values listed for each tier. They are data values and do not predict a fight |
Armies, events and progress tables
The data names these but often does not explain them, so the definitions stay short.
| Term | What it is in the data |
|---|---|
| March Size | The troop count you enter in Formations. Some data calls it Army Size |
| Rally Size | Listed in the Hall of War table: 50,000 at level 1 to 1,946,000 at level 40, paid in Glory Swords |
| Formation events | 8 events in Formations: Anubis, BOX, Elite War, Fiend Trial, SOS, Speed Attack, Star Ruins and Undead. The tool gives troop counts, not event rules |
| Stamina Pills | Come in x20 and x50 bottles. Each pill is worth 30 event points at monster level 1, up to 12,915 at level 35 |
| Cross-Realm | A label on some Garden in the Sky stats. The data does not say which battles it covers |
| Merit | The cost of 17 ranks in the Tables page, with wounded bonuses listed |
| VIP, SVIP | Point-based levels. The totals may already be cumulative, so read them with care |
| Lord Level | Runs to 70 in Lord Exp, with Skill Points listed per level |
| Emblems, Pony, Star Palace | Level tables paid in Emblem Shards, Experience and Star Source. The data lists costs but few effects |
Beast, Colossus, Totem and gear
Each of these has its own tool, and the entries point to what it tracks.
| Term | What it is in the data |
|---|---|
| Beast | Dragon, Panda, Pegasus or Phoenix, with 19 talents and 4 passive skill slots |
| Colossus | Up to two can be planned, from four troop types, each with six abilities from 0 to 25 |
| Totem | 8 totems in Blue, Purple and Gold, raised by node |
| Artifact | Blue, Purple or Orange, in Force and Crown lineups of five. Tables call Orange Gold, and also list Red Force and Red Crown levels paid in Star Power |
| Stars, ranks | Artifact stages. Ranks sit between stars on Orange only |
| Equipments | 6 gear slots with 78 items in Purple or Orange |
| Enhancement | A stat added to a gear slot and raised with Obsidian |
| Garden in the Sky | 37 decorations, 5 sets and 6 statues. Statues use fragments |
| Elder Titan | WaoHive's section is still being prepared. Packs lists titan-category items, but we have no tool or effects for them yet |
Where to look up the numbers
The Tables page collects 24 level tables, each with a running total, so it is the quickest place to check most terms above. Mini Tools covers the Angel Dust and Stamina Pills sums, and the home page links to every tool. If a term you need is missing here, it is probably because our data does not explain it, not because it is unimportant. Spellings in the tools follow the data, so a few names may differ from what you see in the game.
