Can you just specify how to get rewards? 

Soldiers Inc and Stormfall are a bit different.

Erwan, there are no bonuses for balur units

There were some bonuses but this was a bug, but that was April 2017

These balur bonuses were stolen from our fortresses - https://prnt.sc/khig2o


You must remember that sending TOO MANY units will always create extra casualties

Send 2.5x balur strength will always kill 50% of your units (bg level makes no difference)

Sending 3x balur strength will always kill 40 % of your units

Sending overwhelming massive strength might eventually reduce your total loss (similar to pvp) but I have not seen any evidence of this yet


Sending the exact strength will always kill all of your units except ONE, and is the most economical method (unless you can weaken the bg and then send a zero-loss wave to finish the job)

The most economical method of doing BGs are to cook and send PFs, Reavers, Golems, and Chimeras.   Don't cook anything else (except spies when necessary).   Any units you obtain that you do not want, send those as well.  Only send troops to BGs when there are worthy quests/events in progress.


BGs are morphing adapters.  They exist to allow 4 beastie ovens instead of 1.   The only way to do that is to send as many resources as possible to the BGs.  The best way to do that is to cook the most resource intensive units and send them.   Use the Obelisk of Power to max out the training speed of PFs, Reavers, Golems, and Chimeras.   Max out your spy training speed as well so that when they're needed, you can train what you need as quickly as possible to allow a return to chimera baking ASAP.


Don't worry about troop loss in BGs.  You're supposed to lose them.  Its the only way to get those resources banked.   If you want Griffins, send those units to Greens.  If you want Dragons and Wyverns, send those units to the Reds.


If you haven't taken your BGs over 100 yet, don't.


Keep in mind that the more powerful your troops, the longer it takes to bank resources, which means more BGs must be killed before the nice payouts.   All the bonuses to power that have come in the past 2-3 years....HERO, Dragonstone, Troop levels, Champions, castleskins, Paragon 11+, LA>20, etc....have increased the time between payouts.
