Tips & Tricks

Curated, practical strategies for Last War: Survival — filter by keyword or tag to find what helps you right now.

Stack daily tasks for bonus diamonds

DailyEconomy
Finish your daily chests, then keep completing tasks (recruit, attack, missions). Each extra task grants a small diamond bonus that adds up.

Optimize World Boss lineups

BossHeroes
Prioritize mixed damage amplification over raw power. Use front‑row supports whose passives boost your back‑row DPS heroes.

Time resource spending to event windows

EventsEconomy
Hoard speedups and materials, then dump during Train/Build/Research events to double‑dip points from both personal and alliance rankings.

Save ammo for Bullseye Loot tiers

Events
Use ammunition in one burst during Bullseye Loot to reach higher milestone tiers more efficiently than spending daily.

Maintain war fever for sustained damage

Combat
Lightly engage opponents to refresh the short‑term attack buff before major objectives like Alliance Exercise or server events.

Focus hero upgrades on core squads

Heroes
Concentrate shards and gear on one PvE and one PvP squad first. A few strong teams outperform many mediocre ones for events and map clears.

Use resource tiles for stealth movement

CombatBase
March through nearby resource tiles to move faster and reduce alerts to enemies during wars and relocations.

Align heal queues with alliance helps

AllianceBase
Queue just enough hospital time to get full help reductions, then finish with speedups to stretch healing efficiency.

Swap survivors to stack building bonuses

Base
Start an upgrade with your best specialists, then reassign them to start a second project elsewhere. Their bonuses apply to both timers.

Delay Special Ops until higher troop tier

EventsBase
Rewards often scale with your highest trainable tier, so waiting yields stronger free troops when you do the milestone.

Use VIP boosts when you can be active

EconomyDaily
Activating VIP before a long play session maximizes the hourly bonus time and yields more value than toggling it sporadically.

Targeted shard spending beats random pulls

Heroes
Save summons and selector shards until a rate‑up or a focused rotation for your core team, accelerating star levels without waste.

Test lineups on repeatable stages

HeroesCombat
Repeatedly clear earlier Honorable Campaign stages to compare formations and skill timings. Use instant result to iterate quickly.

Maximize alliance helps daily

AllianceDaily
Chain small upgrades or research to keep help slots flowing for your alliance and to receive consistent reductions yourself.

Coordinate relocations before server events

AllianceCombat
Agree on rally points and safe routes using tiles to avoid traffic and reduce exposure to snipes during mass moves.

Thumbs‑up in Brawl for quick diamonds

Daily
In the 3v3 Brawl, endorse three players daily to claim small diamond rewards with almost no time commitment.

Check mission popularity before plundering

DailyEvents
In Secret Missions, the small number beside a mission indicates recent views. High numbers often attract ambushes — pick low‑traffic targets.

Emergency Hospital management

BaseDaily
After rescuing troops, you can leave them queued so the cooldown starts immediately. Claim them later when you need power back.

Prepare for Train/Build days

EventsEconomy
Before event reset, clear barracks queues and line up cheap upgrades. When the event starts, speed them to score early and claim momentum rewards.

Match speedups to the task type

Economy
Use training/building/research speedups on their specific tasks and save universal speedups for events where you need flexibility.

Spend stamina before reset

Daily
Keep stamina near zero before daily reset to avoid overcapping. Convert it into campaign clears or elite fights for steady progress.

Prioritize alliance tech donations

Alliance
Daily donations compound into powerful buffs. Coordinate focus with leadership to avoid splitting points across low‑impact branches.

Scout before committing

CombatAlliance
Quick scouts reveal traps and rally timers. Share intel in alliance chat so others don’t repeat risky attacks.

Park troops smartly before logging off

CombatDaily
Send vulnerable squads to gather on safe tiles or shelter them via events, reducing losses from surprise raids while you’re offline.

Hit key upgrade breakpoints

Base
Focus upgrades that unlock new troop tiers, formation slots, or building synergies before chasing small stat increases.

Sync alliance buffs with boss windows

BossAlliance
Time damage or march buffs so multiple members hit key boss thresholds together, pushing the alliance further up the ranking brackets.
