To prepare for server-wide competition in Last War, you must establish consistent daily habits before Season 1 begins. Prioritizing radar clears, secret task truck rerolls, natural stamina conversion, synchronized event scoring, and targeted shop purchases prevents early resource deficits and keeps your base progression on schedule.
1. Clear Radar Missions to Prevent Storage Capping
The radar post continuously generates encounters that reward EXP, gold, stamina, hero shards, and drone data. Hitting the radar mission storage cap pauses the refresh timer, permanently wasting passive development materials.
- Check the Radar Twice Daily: Clear active nodes every morning and evening to keep the mission queue moving.
- Prioritize High-Rarity Nodes: Complete purple (Epic) and gold (Legendary) events first to secure premium recruitment tickets and drone components.
- Collect Milestone Chests: Progress along the radar completion bar unlocks milestone chests that award stamina cans and universal hero shards.
2. Reroll Secret Tasks and Plunder High-Value Trucks
Secret mobile tasks and truck shipments provide a primary pipeline for UR hero shards and advanced components. Dispatching low-tier shipments wastes limited dispatch slots. Spend small diamond amounts or refresh tokens to reroll shipments until they reach Epic or Legendary rarity.
| Secret Task Tier | Target Rewards | Dispatch Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Legendary (Orange) | UR Shards, Advanced Drone Parts, Diamonds | Always dispatch. Request alliance assistance to deter plunderers. |
| Epic (Purple) | Hero Recruitment Tickets, Skill Medals | Acceptable secondary target if reroll costs increase. |
| Rare / Common (Blue / Green) | Basic Ore, Low-Tier EXP | Do not dispatch. Reroll immediately. |
When using your daily truck plunder attempts, target enemy convoys carrying hero shards or advanced components during the later hours of the server day.
3. Burn Natural Stamina on World Map Doom Elites
Allowing your stamina bar to sit at the 120 cap halts passive account growth. Spend natural stamina by starting or joining alliance rallies against Doom Elites and high-level world map targets.
Rallying distributes alliance gift chests to all members, generating free VIP points, speed-ups, and diamonds. Keep packaged stamina cans in your inventory and save them for active Alliance VS days or Arms Race phases that specifically reward stamina expenditure.
4. Align Base Upgrades with Arms Race and Alliance VS
Starting or finishing building upgrades, technology research, or troop training outside scoring windows slows long-term progress. The Arms Race event cycles every four hours through five categories: construction, tech research, troop training, hero advancement, and stamina usage.
- Verify Active Event Timers: Check the current Arms Race objective before claiming finished buildings or research projects.
- Use Speed-Ups During Overlaps: Apply construction, research, or training speed-ups only when both Arms Race and the weekly Alliance VS calendar reward points for the same action.
- Target Third-Tier Chests: Reach the final milestone chest in Arms Race phases to earn recruit tickets and diamond payouts.
5. Donate to Alliance Tech and Buy Critical Shop Items
Alliance honor points earned through daily donations give access to essential items without spending diamonds. You receive 20 donation attempts that replenish over time. Donate full attempts twice daily, using gold up to the scaling cost limit.
Spend your accumulated Alliance Honor in the Alliance Shop according to this priority:
- Advanced Teleporters: Maintain at least two teleporters in reserve for sudden alliance warfare.
- Drone Parts and Combat Data: Purchase these regularly to level your drone without spending diamonds.
- Peace Shields and Speed-Ups: Stockpile 8-hour shields to protect your base during PvP combat events.
6. Spend Daily Free Honor Arena Attempts
The Honor Arena provides equipment development materials regardless of your competitive rank. Complete all free daily attempts, as both wins and losses grant Arena Points. Use the Arena Shop to purchase Legendary Gear Ceramic and Blueprint chests, which are required to craft and upgrade golden equipment sets for your primary squad.
7. Claim Daily VIP Points and Base Production
Log into the VIP interface immediately after the daily server reset to collect the free VIP point bundle. Higher VIP tiers grant permanent base production boosts, construction speed increases, and recurring universal gold shards.
After claiming VIP points, collect all passive resource nodes generated by internal base buildings, recruit free survivors at the tavern, and sweep your daily campaign stages. Maintaining these small routines daily ensures maximum passive account growth before Season 1 content begins.

This saved me time in the early game.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Last War articles next.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
