Increasing March and Rally capacity in State of Survival

Nothing is more frustrating than launching a Rally and not being able to fit enough troops in to effectively take down the Rally target.

The same applies your March capacity. As you progress through the game, you may find that you're unable to complete Intel missions because the located mobs are too strong for the number of troops you are able to send.

In both of these cases, the answer is increasing your troop capacity in Marches and Rallies.

1) Big up HQ and Command Station

Virtually everything in State of Survival is tied to the level of your Headquarters (HQ). Without upgrading this, not much else is possible and you'll find yourself unable to progress through the game.

Your HQ directly effects your March capacity and determines the max level for your Command Station, which in turn effects your Rally capacity.

Keep upgrading both your HQ and ensure that your Command Station is upgraded to the same level before upgrading your HQ again.

2) Research March Capacity I - VI

The March Capacity line of research under the Battle tree directly increases the number of troops you can send on your marches. There are six stages to this, each level-locked dependent on the level of your Research Station, which in turn is of course tied to the level of your HQ. Completing all six tiers will increase your march capacity by approximately 32,000.

3) Wisely choose your Heroes

All Heroes increase March capacities, it's just a matter of how much.

Looking at level 50 Heroes, the passive March capacity buffs are as follows:

Level 50 Legendary Hero 10.6k March capacity buff

Level 50 Epic Hero 8.5k March capacity buff

Level 50 Elite Hero 6.9 March capacity buff



While these buffs don't seem huge, remember that they stack, so slotting three level 50 Legendary Heroes in your March means a 31.8% increase in the number of troops you can March.

Make use of temporary buffs

While not ideal, there are temporary buffs which can get you out of tight spots. First is the Massive March Talent that can be found in the War Talent tree. This Talent lists the Level 5 Infantry Health, Level 5 Master Mechanic and Level 5 Hunter Protection Talents as pre-requesites.

This Talent has an 12-hour cooldown and increases your March capacity by 10% for 30-minutes.

Alternatively, you can use the Mega March Capacity Boosts. These can be found in the Settlement Buffs and are purchased using Biocaps. They can also sometimes be awarded by special missions or as event rewards.

There are five levels of temporary buffs, ranging from a 6% boost for 2 hours to a whopping 12% increase for a full 12 hours.

The 12-hour Mega March Capacity Boost does however require VIP level 12 and is only available from the VIP Store, so it's not going to be for everyone. The 8-hour Mega March Capacity Boost can however still be obtained through the Settlement Buffs for 13,000 Biocaps.

A note on Rally size

At the time of this guide, the only one way to increase Rally capacity is through upgrading your Command Station.

It is worth noting however that while this is technically correct, your total Rally capacity when launching Rallies is always different that what is reported in the Command Station. This is because the Command Station does not take into account your own troops, only the number of allied troops you can hold.

So, your total Rally capacity is equal to the number of allied troops you can hold (as dictated by the Command Station) PLUS your own troops.

Rally total = Allied Troops + Own March

In this way March capacity will slightly increase the Rally capacity, but only in as much as you will be able to send more of your own troops on the Rally. This also explains why the numbers listed in the Command Station are different than the numbers reported when you launch a Rally.
