Which is worth more banners...winning battle undermanned or winning battle with full health/prot?

Pretty much as the title suggests...

I was facing a GA opponent who basically went all offense as his strategy. I cleared his defense very easily. However, he assumed I would be able to clear his defense. His strategy was assuming that I would and in turn looking to clear my defense but doing so in a manner that would gain more banners.

So looking at this scenario, when choosing my battle, does it make more sense to go into a battle with less characters and winning or going in way OP and winning with full prot/health? I couldn't find anywhere showing exactly how the banner point system was tallied.

Thanks in advance

depends a bit on if you can win with less character and still have full h/p.

going with 5 into battle and finish full h/p is 60 pts
going with 4 into battle and finish full h/p is 61 pts
going with 3 into battle and finish full h/p is 62 pts
going with 2 into battle and finish full h/p is 63 pts
going with 1 into battle and finish full h/p is 64 pts

basically if you win 1st time you get 45 points
for each characters that you used that survived you get 1 point extra
then you get an extra 1 point for each character at full health
another extra 1 point for each character at full protection
each unused slot gives you 4 points (basically 1 for survive unit 1 for full health 1 for full protection and another fur the empty slot)

you can also find this ingame when you click on the zone and then click on the i in the top right corner




hope this helps you understand it a bit

Thanks man that was perfect. Appreciate you taking the time to put that together!

To add on to this, remember that when using fewer units, you are also more likely to get hit (lose prot/health). For instance, you may choose to use 2 units instead of 5, but the enemy may now use an aoe attack against you making you lose 2 points from lost protection. You’ll just have to weigh those options for each battle.

In general I find that unless somebody puts a truly rubbish team on D, I net more banners by taking in a full team and just soundly crushing them than I do when I try to underman it.
