To reach a score of 2900 or higher in the Last War Frontline Breakthrough event, prioritize unit multiplier gates over addition gates during Stages 1 and 2, minimize squad loss through tight navigation in Stages 3 and 4, and direct all squad firepower exclusively at the boss unit in Stage 5.
Stages 1 and 2: Early Unit Growth
The foundation of a high-scoring run depends on compound squad expansion during the initial two stages.
- Prioritize Multipliers Over Addition: Always select gates that multiply your squad count rather than those giving a flat addition. Early compounding unit growth significantly increases total damage output for later stages.
- Target Clear Multiplier Paths: If forced to choose between a smaller multiplier and an obstacle-free route, pick the multiplier as long as your squad can navigate past lethal traps without severe casualties.
- Prevent Early Losses: Keep base units intact while approaching early gates. Losing squad members during Stage 1 drastically reduces the efficiency of subsequent multiplier gates.
Stages 3 and 4: Hazard Control and Preservation
As hazard and obstacle density increases, shift focus from raw unit growth to preserving squad size to clear stage mini-bosses efficiently.
- Maintain Tight Squad Movement: Keep units grouped closely when passing through narrow corridors or static traps to avoid losing stray units along the edges.
- Focus Fire on Gate Mini-Bosses: Group your firing line to eliminate mini-bosses guarding progression gates quickly without splitting damage across non-essential targets.
- Balance Hazard Risks: Avoid chasing extra units if collecting them forces your primary squad into enemy artillery or high-damage traps.
Stage 5: Final Encounter Execution
Stage 5 requires directing your squad's cumulative power toward the main objective to reach the 2900-point threshold.
- Focus Entirely on the Boss Target: Ignore low-value side enemies that do not contribute directly to stage progression. Direct all squad damage onto the boss unit or final gate.
- Trigger Saved Power-Ups Immediately: Activate reserved damage or speed multipliers as soon as you enter the final area to burst down the target's health bar before taking casualties.
- Position Away from Main Attack Lines: Keep your unit cluster positioned behind or clear of the boss unit's primary firing angles to maintain maximum DPS throughout the fight.
Performance Limits and Stat Requirements
| Performance Factor | Impact on Score | Recommended Action |
|---|---|---|
| Gate Layout RNG | Determines maximum possible unit multiplier growth | Restart the run if early stages fail to offer multiplier gates |
| Base Hero Levels | Sets baseline unit damage output and survival ceiling | Upgrade core hero stats and base tech between attempts |
| Run Speed | Dictates gate transition timing and positioning accuracy | Memorize stage hazard patterns to avoid movement delays |
Base hero stats and tech research set a hard limit on your score ceiling. If hero levels are insufficient for the event tier, even a run with clean gate selection may fall short of 2900 points. Upgrade your primary squad's hero stats between event attempts to ensure your overall output can support high score targets.

Good guide for Last War players. The early game part was useful.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Last War articles next.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
Can you add more details about early game in a future update?
