Recommendations

Based on the buffs above, the recommended generals for resource gathering are Queen Jindeok, Gaius Marius, Constance I, and Shimazu Yoshihiro.

Regarding gathering speed, Queen Jindeok outperforms Princess Lucy, so she should be your top priority once recruited. You can also pop a Resource Gathering Speedup item to boost efficiency even further.

Keep in mind that Troop Load doesn’t rely solely on your generals. You can also increase total Troop Load by bringing more troops into the gathering march or by equipping the Loyalty Horn in your Monarch Gear (higher-level Loyalty Horns yield greater load bonuses). However, if your strategy requires massive gathering capacity, prioritizing generals with built-in Troop Load attributes is a great way to maximize your yield per run.
