Game of Thrones: War for Westeros Combat Guide — Unit Tactics & Faction Matchups

From shield walls in the North to dragonfire over King’s Landing — every faction fights its own war. Here’s how to win yours.

Combat Overview

Combat in Game of Thrones: War for Westeros is classic RTS warfare viewed from an isometric bird’s-eye perspective. Unit positioning, terrain and resource control decide battles as much as raw numbers do.

Each faction brings a distinct combat identity: Stark infantry holds the line, Lannister armor and mercenaries grind down opponents through superior economy, Targaryen cavalry and dragons strike with unmatched mobility, and the Night King wins through overwhelming waves.

Scouting is critical. Learn what your opponent is building, secure the strategic holds that feed your economy, and time your power spikes — especially around faction-defining units like giants, Unsullied or dragons.

Combat Core Tips

Use the North’s chokepoints, the streets of King’s Landing and the open field to your tactical advantage.
