Beginner Guide: First 1000 Distance (2026)

Buy Swordsmen and Archers first, spread them across the frontline, and press the Attack button to start pushing waves. Join the moonshot infinite Roblox Group right away — membership unlocks Auto Attack, which keeps your army fighting without you clicking. Then redeem the working codes (1MVISITS and RELEASE alone are worth 1,500 gems) before you spend a single gem in the Summon portal.

• Finish the in-game tutorial — the Tutorial Complete! badge is held by 2.4M+ players and teaches the recruit, place and attack loop in a few minutes.
• Open the Shop with the top-left button and buy Swordsmen at $50 each until your frontline holds three or four of them.
• Add Archers at $150 behind the Swordsmen — early waves die to a melee blocker plus ranged damage before they reach your army.
• Press the Attack button and watch the push. Note exactly where your line breaks; that gap is your next purchase, not a brand-new unit type.
• Join the moonshot infinite Group on Roblox to unlock Auto Attack, then redeem every working code on the codes page for a free gem head start.
• Reinvest your cash into one or two unit families instead of sampling everything — concentrated upgrades outpace scattered armies fast.

Command An Army is built around the loop its title promises: recruit military units, position them on the battlefield, and send them at enemy waves. Joining the developer Group (moonshot infinite on Roblox) unlocks Auto Attack, which issues attack orders for you so the push never stalls while you reposition or shop. Better still, your army keeps attacking while you are offline — waves still fall and cash still flows — so always end a session with your strongest formation fielded.

Once your first pushes feel stable, the question changes from "how do I play" to "what do I buy next". Our tier list ranks all 14 units from the $50 Swordsman to the $50,000 Titan, the formations page shows the layouts that hold longest, and the summon page explains what your saved gems actually buy. For a steady gem income, bookmark the codes page — we re-verify every code and log each change in the update log.

Most new players lose their first few hours to the same traps. Knowing these upfront saves you weeks of rebuilding:

• Spreading cash across too many unit types — buying one of everything feels safe but leaves every slot weak. Pick 3-4 units and concentrate upgrades instead.
• Forgetting to redeem codes before spending gems — codes give up to 2,500 free Gems that should fund your first summons, not come after you have already spent.
• Not joining the Roblox Group — without it you miss Auto Attack and offline pushes, which are the single biggest free progress multiplier in the game.
• Ignoring formation positioning — melee units must be directly in the enemy path, ranged units spread behind them. A bad layout loses fights that a better army would win.
• Buying cosmetic units before your core is maxed — every Gem spent on a non-core unit is a Gem taken from the healer or tank that keeps your army alive.

Follow this checklist in your first 60 minutes and you will be ahead of most new players:
