Spitfire

Spitfire is unlocked from the Elite Shop for 30 elite items (air category). It sits at tier A — a strong tier, sitting just below the absolute elite but fully competitive in Conquest and PvP.

At level 12, Spitfire peaks at 84 attack with range 12. Aircraft do not expose meaningful defense or HP values in combat — their worth is read in raw strike power and range. Solid air profile — damage and survivability above standard planes, effective in support or intercept.

Milestone tiers: level 5 "Air preparation", level 9 "High-velocity gun". These are the most impactful levels to reach — they unlock passive effects or active abilities that reshape the unit's tactical profile. Steer your progression to hit them first.

Cumulative cost levels 1 → 12 for Spitfire: ~244.2k energy, ~199.6k gold, 780 elite items, 45 badges. The main bottleneck is energy and elite items — hit the milestone levels 5, 9 and 12 first rather than evenly smoothing intermediate upgrades.

Pair it with Air-specialty generals (Göring, Tedder, Arnold, Kawabe) running Air Supremacy or Tactical Support. Air-attack and range bonuses turn the unit into an opening weapon.

Use it as tactical support on tight-objective maps. It handles intercept and ground clean-up without demanding an S-tier slot.
