How to play Command An Army on PC, mobile and console: the order system, your class abilities and fighting in the middle of your army.

Quick Answer: What Are the Controls?
Command An Army plays on two layers at once: you fight personally in the middle of your army while issuing orders to your troops. The core actions: move and fight with WASD (or the left stick), use your class ability (right-click to block as Sword & Shield, Q to dodge roll as Assassin), and press the order keys to command units — Follow, Hold, Attack, Rush and Shield Wall. There is no per-unit micromanagement mid-fight: the loadout and orders you set decide the battle.
| Action | How to Do It |
|---|---|
| Summon units | Standard Banner — 50 Gems per pull, odds printed on the banner |
| Build your loadout | Equip Best, then adjust manually to cover all four roles within your star limit |
| Issue orders | Follow / Hold / Attack / Rush / Shield Wall — order keys in match |
| Block (Sword & Shield) | Right-click — reduces incoming damage |
| Dodge roll (Assassin) | Q — quick reposition with i-frames |
| Ride a horse | Mount in lobby and matches; aim camera down to hit infantry from the saddle |
| Redeem a code | Code button on the right side of the screen → enter code → Claim |
| Change class | 50 Gems — same price as one banner pull |
PC vs Mobile vs Console
The game is built cross-platform and your account carries everywhere, but the feel differs:
- PC — keyboard and mouse give the fastest order-switching and camera control; best for competitive play.
- Mobile — touch controls scale down cleanly; fine for matches, slightly slower for order micro.
- Console — controller navigation; fully playable.
- Cross-platform — roster, Gems and progress live on your Roblox account; switching devices loses nothing.
