🔄 Switching Professions

You receive one Profession Change Certificate during Season 1, allowing a one-time free switch between Engineer and War Leader (all profession skill points will be reset and refunded). Timing this switch is critical – plan to swap when you’ve maximized growth as an Engineer and are ready to lead wars as a War Leader.

✅ Start as Engineer if:

• Your squad power is under 20M
• You don’t have T10 troops unlocked yet
• You want faster growth, base building, and season progression

✅ Switch to War Leader when:

• You’ve unlocked T10 troops and your HQ is 30+
• You’ve finished most building and research upgrades
• You’re ready to participate or lead in city sieges, PvP, and Capital battles

🎯 Optimal switch timing: Late Week 2 or Week 3
❌ Do not switch to War Leader too early — you’ll slow your growth and become ineffective

📌 Summary Table

Pick your role wisely — your profession sets the tone for your entire season. Most players should start with Engineer, then switch to War Leader when the time is right.
