Profession Overview

🟦 Facts

Engineer and War Leader are different toolkits, not a simple weak-versus-strong choice. Engineer concentrates on growth, resources, construction, research, and alliance utility. War Leader concentrates on combat, rallies, garrison support, and specialized PvP roles.
Profession EXP is earned through seasonal activity, including killing seasonal monsters, capturing Cities, and upgrading seasonal buildings.
The profession level cap remains 70 after Season 2. Season-specific skills are disabled at settlement and their Skill Points are refunded.
A live Engineer screen at Profession Level 47 showed 53 total Skill Points. Do not assume that Profession Level equals total available Skill Points.

Blue Facts summarize game mechanics.
Green Recommendations explain how to use those mechanics; they are not game rules.
An exact end value is omitted whenever only the first level or part of the progression has been captured.

Most players should begin with Engineer and keep it while construction, research, and seasonal-resource efficiency remain important.
Consider War Leader when growth savings are no longer the bottleneck, your alliance needs a defined combat role, and you have the required profession-change item.
Choose by role and current bottleneck rather than switching on a universal week or copying another player’s exact point total.

War Leader is the profession name. Warlord is also used for an alliance role; the two are not interchangeable.
Skill Points vary with progression and rewards. This guide therefore recommends priorities and roles instead of publishing one fixed allocation for every player.

Each season can have a different Profession Level Cap.
After reaching that cap, additional Profession EXP no longer raises the current-season Profession level.
the game says the extra EXP is stored at a certain ratio and mailed at the start of the next season.
The exact storage ratio is not listed here; use the value shown in game.
