Key Strategies for Last War Survival Game
Discover advanced tactics to enhance your gameplay:
1. Monica’s Treasure Hunter Skill for Extra Resources
- Boost: Monica’s “Treasure Hunter” skill provides a 39% resource boost (Coin, Food, and Iron) when you defeat specific World Map zombies.
- Targets: This bonus applies only to World Map zombies like Ironhead Glutton, Miser, and Doom Elites, which you find using the magnifying glass research in map mode. It does not apply to event zombies.
- Tip: Always include Monica in your squad when hunting these World Map zombies to maximize your resource gains.
2. Low Troops Gathering Strategy
Even with limited troops, you can send all your squads to gather resources:
- Recall all squads to your base.
- Remove all heroes from your squads.
- Assign only 1 hero per squad, choosing heroes with a low “Command” attribute. This significantly reduces the troop requirement for each squad.
- Send your squads to gather.
- Quick Fix: Train Level 1 soldiers for fast and cheap troop replenishment when you’re low.
3. Daily Diamond Earning Tips
Gather valuable Diamonds every day!
- Arena Diamonds (90 per day): Once the Arena unlocks, go to 3v3 Brawl. Click the thumbs-up icon 3 times on any player. Each click gives you 30 Diamonds, for a total of 90 Diamonds daily.
- Daily Tasks Diamonds (up to 30 per day): Even after claiming all regular Daily Task rewards, you can earn extra Diamonds by:
- Recruiting Heroes 1 time.
- Attacking Commanders 1 time (target those without alliances to avoid retaliation).
- Plundering an Epic or Legendary Secret Task 1 time.
- Total: By combining these, you can easily earn up to 120 Diamonds every day!
4. Speed Up Soldier Healing with Alliance Help
Heal your soldiers faster by leveraging your alliance:
- Check your Alliance Center to see how many “Helps” you can receive.
- Start healing your soldiers with a time that matches your available help count.
- Click the shaking hands icon at the hospital to request help from your alliance. Each help reduces healing time by 0.5% or at least 1 minute per help.
- Track your progress in Alliance → Helps.
- Best Time: Use this when many alliance members are online, especially during events like Alliance Exercise.
5. Maximize Points in Arms Race and Duel VS with Soldier Training
Earn up to 4x more points in Arms Race and Duel VS by optimizing soldier training:
- Barrack Limits: Each barrack can train soldiers up to its specific level (e.g., Level 24 barrack trains T8 soldiers).
- Upgrading Soldiers: You can upgrade soldiers directly from a lower tier (e.g., T3) to the maximum tier your barrack allows (e.g., T8). The cost in time and resources is similar to direct training.
- Points for Each Upgrade: Crucially, points are awarded every time a soldier reaches a new level through training or upgrading.
- Strategy: To maximize points, keep your barracks at different upgrade levels. Train low-tier soldiers in a lower-level barrack, then upgrade them in higher-level barracks. This “staged” upgrading earns points at every step.
6. Increase Unit Training Cap for More Points
Boost your unit training capacity for extra points during Arms Race and Duel VS:
- Click on a barrack, then the survivor list icon.
- Replace existing survivors with those offering the highest “unit cap %” bonus. Move them from other buildings if needed.
- Start training with the enhanced unit cap.
- After training begins, you can move the survivors back to their original buildings, as their bonus only applies at the moment training starts.
7. Boost Defense with War Fever
Gain a 1% damage boost when defending your base or village:
- Trigger: War Fever activates when you attack or scout an enemy base (not zombies).
- Send a scout airplane to an enemy base.
- Start an attack or rally against an enemy base (you can cancel the attack once War Fever activates).
- Check Status: Look for War Fever’s status in the upper left of your screen, below resource meters.
- Duration: It lasts for 15 minutes. Repeat any trigger action to reset the countdown.
- Caution: Do not use this trick if you have an active shield, as it will instantly remove your shield.
8. Boost Damage During Alliance Exercise
Increase your damage output during Alliance Exercise:
- Join Rallies: Participate in rallies led by R4 or R5 alliance members. This grants a damage bonus: +2.5% for normal R4 members, and +5% for R5 members or R4 members with specific roles (Warlord, Butler, Muse, Recruiter).
- Activate War Fever: Just before the exercise, scout or start an attack on a non-alliance commander. This gives a 1% damage boost. Re-activate every 15 minutes.
- Caution: Avoid using these tricks with an active shield or during war days (like Day 6 of Duel VS).
9. Increase Damage Against World Boss
Maximize your damage against World Bosses:
- War Fever: Before attacking, scout a non-alliance base to gain a 1% damage increase for 15 minutes.
- Mason’s Skill (Up to 17%): Mason, an SSR Tank attack hero, has a skill called “Passive: Zombie Purge.” At skill level 17, this skill enhances back-row damage by 17% against monsters.
- Optimal Formation (Example for Frankenstein World Boss): Place Violet and Mason in the front row, moving Murphy to the back. Transfer Mason’s stronger gear cannon to Murphy to further boost damage.
10. Get Free High-Level Troops in Operation Falcon
Acquire free, high-level troops by completing Special Ops effectively:
- Troop Level: The free troops you receive will be at the highest trainable level in your barracks.
- Strategy: Prioritize upgrading your barracks before attempting Special Ops.
- Maximize Rewards: Try to finish Special Ops levels with as many soldiers alive as possible to get more free troops. If you’re going to finish with too few, restart the level to try again.
- Access: Find Operation Falcon via the yellow helicopter icon. More Special Ops unlock as your Headquarters level increases.
11. Farm EXP and Resources in Operation Falcon
If your squads aren’t strong enough for the next two levels of the Honorable Campaign:
- Swipe left to a previous level you’ve already completed.
- Choose a level your squad can reliably win. This way, you’ll replay one level for that mission category instead of two, but still earn significant rewards and XP.
- This method allows you to efficiently farm without getting stuck on harder levels.
12. Restart Cooldown Timer in the Emergency Hospital
Manage your Emergency Hospital cooldown efficiently (2-day timer):
- Wait until the Emergency Hospital is full of fainted troops.
- Start the recovery process.
- Do not claim the troops immediately. Leave them “pending” until you truly need them or your drill grounds are empty, or until the cooldown is almost over.
- The cooldown timer for the next rescue will start running in the background even if you haven’t claimed the current troops.
13. Teleporting to a Different Server During Server Wars
During a Server War, you might be able to teleport to a different server than the one suggested by Duel VS:
- Go to the warzone duel icon.
- In the Match Info panel, click the “grouping” button.
- Scroll through the options and select your desired server. Only available servers will have a green “Go” button.
- Benefit: This can help you find weaker opponents or avoid shielded ones, increasing your kills and Duel VS points. (Note: This feature may not always be available.)
14. Unlock 1 Hour of Free VIP Time
Get a free hour of VIP time whenever you reach a new VIP level:
- When you gather enough VIP points to level up, you automatically receive 1 hour of free VIP time if you don’t already have an active VIP bonus.
- Strategy: If you have few Diamonds and no active VIP, you can buy a small amount of VIP points to trigger this 1-hour bonus precisely when you want to use it for maximum benefit.
By applying these advanced tips and tricks, you’ll optimize your gameplay and accelerate your progress in Last War Survival Game!
