How to quickly get experience in Total War: Arena? Total War Arena Guide & Walkthrough

In this chapter, you will find a list of options and advice that will help you quickly get experience, gain promotion to higher levels and upgrade units.

Daily rewards are great for gaining a large amount of experience and for upgrading many commanders.

1. Each general receives daily rewards - they include 200% more rewards for winning a battle once a day. Because of that, you should play a few rounds, switch to a different commander and collect another bonus. Buy new commanders quickly. You can also switch to another commander (if all your units die) and start another match before the first one ends.
2. Try quickly finding friends - participation in a game as "party" with another player (or players) enables you to gain additional 10% (optionally 50%) experience for each match. The easiest way to find other players is through public chat. However, not everyone will want to work with you until you gain at least level 4-6.
3. You can obtain 20% or sometimes (for example during events) even 100% additional experience for winning battles. During such battles, you should ally yourself with friends who are good in the game in order to increase the chance of winning.
4. Find units and commander you can play effectively (you obtain a large number of points per match). In most cases, they are Infantry, Pikemen or Cavalry.
5. You will gain many points during a match by attempting to take over the enemy base. You can receive even 3000 points for sitting in enemy base (when you play on low levels the base might be even empty - many players are trying to rush. You should do it, especially when your units are weakened and have low combat value. Same goes to defending the base - you gain points for that as well.
6. You can get additional experience for varied play - place one group of units of a different type than the ones used by other teams and you will obtain +30% squad experience (for example you can use archers and swordsmen). It is a constant value that doesn't change no matter how great the variety is (you can use the same unit but from previous tier and the bonus will be still added).
7. A premium account that can be bought for gold and frequently received as a gift (for example during events organized by the creators or when obtaining milestones in profile experience levels) provide +50% experience and loot boosts for each battle (including lost ones) for as long as the account is active.
8. Premium units that can be bought in each faction for gold also provide +50% loot increase.
