Tips & Tricks
Curated, practical strategies for Last War: Survival — filter by keyword or tag to find what helps you right now.
Finish your daily chests, then keep completing tasks (recruit, attack, missions). Each extra task grants a small diamond bonus that adds up.
Prioritize mixed damage amplification over raw power. Use front‑row supports whose passives boost your back‑row DPS heroes.
Hoard speedups and materials, then dump during Train/Build/Research events to double‑dip points from both personal and alliance rankings.
Use ammunition in one burst during Bullseye Loot to reach higher milestone tiers more efficiently than spending daily.
Lightly engage opponents to refresh the short‑term attack buff before major objectives like Alliance Exercise or server events.
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.
March through nearby resource tiles to move faster and reduce alerts to enemies during wars and relocations.
Queue just enough hospital time to get full help reductions, then finish with speedups to stretch healing efficiency.
Start an upgrade with your best specialists, then reassign them to start a second project elsewhere. Their bonuses apply to both timers.
Rewards often scale with your highest trainable tier, so waiting yields stronger free troops when you do the milestone.
Activating VIP before a long play session maximizes the hourly bonus time and yields more value than toggling it sporadically.
Save summons and selector shards until a rate‑up or a focused rotation for your core team, accelerating star levels without waste.
Repeatedly clear earlier Honorable Campaign stages to compare formations and skill timings. Use instant result to iterate quickly.
Chain small upgrades or research to keep help slots flowing for your alliance and to receive consistent reductions yourself.
Agree on rally points and safe routes using tiles to avoid traffic and reduce exposure to snipes during mass moves.
In the 3v3 Brawl, endorse three players daily to claim small diamond rewards with almost no time commitment.
In Secret Missions, the small number beside a mission indicates recent views. High numbers often attract ambushes — pick low‑traffic targets.
After rescuing troops, you can leave them queued so the cooldown starts immediately. Claim them later when you need power back.
Before event reset, clear barracks queues and line up cheap upgrades. When the event starts, speed them to score early and claim momentum rewards.
Use training/building/research speedups on their specific tasks and save universal speedups for events where you need flexibility.
Keep stamina near zero before daily reset to avoid overcapping. Convert it into campaign clears or elite fights for steady progress.
Daily donations compound into powerful buffs. Coordinate focus with leadership to avoid splitting points across low‑impact branches.
Quick scouts reveal traps and rally timers. Share intel in alliance chat so others don’t repeat risky attacks.
Send vulnerable squads to gather on safe tiles or shelter them via events, reducing losses from surprise raids while you’re offline.
Focus upgrades that unlock new troop tiers, formation slots, or building synergies before chasing small stat increases.
Time damage or march buffs so multiple members hit key boss thresholds together, pushing the alliance further up the ranking brackets.
