Depending on the experience of your knight, your troops will be hit a certain number of times, till either you or they are defeated. The more experienced your knight is, the fewer rounds will be needed to defeat a dark forest.
The strength of your own troops has little meaning. Do not send large numbers of strong units, especially not catapults.
For minimal losses, you will need to have the life cards at the cap limit to reduce losses. Dark forest troops have lots of life to them. Use layered attacks. Note: however, that the order in which your layered troops fight is quite possible random, or at least dependent on the number of different types of troops defending.
The more layered single troops you include, the more of them will get a chance to fight, and reduce the remaining troops for the bulk of your force to defeat.

DARK FOREST TROOP GUIDE
DARK FOREST
If a dark forest wins a battle, it still remains where it is. The
troops that were killed will not return. Only those surviving the battle
remain in the forest.
When attacking dark forests, the outcome is always better, the higher your knight's experience is. And each time you defeat a dark forest your knight will gain more experience:

SCOUTING
Dark forests are hard to kill. You can have your own strategy to defeat them. You can scout dark forests too. There are different strategies to defeat a dark forest, but it's up to you what troops you want to send.
Here's another strategy using the MILITIAMEN UNIT
LEVEL 1 DARK FOREST
————————————-
Since there is only one type of troops defending a level 1 Dark Forest,
there are several known safe ways of defeating them.
It is safe to assume that 1 single cavalry will always fight and die first.
It is also safe to assume that archers will perform well on attacking Wanderers of Din, a melee unit.
The following is the "cheapest" setup, for short distances (only the militiaman will die):
The following is the "fastest" setup, for long distances (only the cavalry will die):
LEVEL 2 DARK FOREST
————————————–
The strongest unit defending a level 2 forest is the Blade of Netzekt, a mounted unit.
It is thus assumed that pikemen will perform well on attacking a level 2 dark forest.
However, the outcome is largely dependent on the ratio between Wanderers and Blades of Netzekt.
When attacking a level 2 dark forest, use an experienced knight.
A rather safe setup of troops is:
Sometimes you will lose only 2 or 3 single troops, sometimes 1 or 2 singles and a few militiamen as well.
If you scout the level 2 forest first, and find a large number of Blades of Netzekt, you can try this setup as well:
LEVEL 3 DARK FOREST
————————————–
The strongest unit defending a level 3 forest is the Arm of Gevrah, a ranged unit.
It is thus assumed that cavalry will perform well on attacking a level 3 dark forest.
However, the outcome is largely dependent on the ratio between Wanderers, Blades and Arms of Gevrah.
When attacking a level 3 dark forest, use your most experienced knight.
A rather safe setup of troops is:
You will lose a few single troops, and most likely a few hundred militiamen.
If you scout the level 3 forest first, and find a large number of Arms of Gevrah, you can try with this setup as well:
LEVEL 4 DARK FOREST
————————————–
strongest unit defending a level 4 forest is the Priest of Yeshod, a specialist unit.
Since we do not know what special forces they possess, it is unknown which troops perform best against them.
Besides, the outcome would be largely dependent on the ratio between Wanderers, Blades, Arms and Priests of Yeshod.
When attacking a level 4 dark forest, always use your most experienced knight.
A rather safe setup of troops is:
You will lose several single troops, the more the better. Depending on how many single troops you lost, you will also lose some 1-10k militiamen.
Below is a sample using pikes and heavy cavs in just 1 wave of attack. The higher the combat skills of the knight, less casualties.

- 10k archers (a good knight requires fewer, a bad knight more)
The following is the "fastest" setup, for long distances (only the cavalry will die):
- 1 cavalry
- 120k scouts (a good knight requires fewer, a bad knight more)

A rather safe setup of troops is:
- 1 supply troop
- 1 scout
- 1 pikeman
- 1 swordsman
- 1 archer
- 1 cavalry
- 150k, or maximum amount of militiamen
Sometimes you will lose only 2 or 3 single troops, sometimes 1 or 2 singles and a few militiamen as well.
