01 / THE GUIDE
Commanders
Fourteen Commanders are available, each granting a unique passive skill that subtly influences gameplay. Their Battle Powers are game‑changing abilities that require precise timing to achieve maximum effect.
Because each Commander’s passive and Battle Power differ, selecting a Commander shapes the strategic approach for a mission. Understanding these differences helps players align their forces with the map’s challenges.
- Match the Commander’s passive to the mission’s primary objective.
- Reserve Battle Powers for moments that can swing the battle.

Unit Types
Warside features over 30 unit types, including tanks, artillery, submarines, warships, helicopters, and jet aircraft. Specialist infantry such as snipers, medics, mortar teams, and saboteurs add further tactical depth.
Units belong to factions that have mechanics specific to each faction, allowing players to combine ground, air, and naval forces within a single battle.
- Blend ground, air, and naval units for balanced forces.
- Deploy specialist infantry for targeted tasks like healing or sabotage.
