To maximize points during the final round of the GoldVein War in Last War, prioritize occupying high-yield nodes at the event reset and preserve squad stamina by avoiding unnecessary player-versus-player combat. Success in the final stage depends on securing high-multiplier resource zones and maintaining defensive alliance positions rather than skirmishing across the map.
Node Selection Priorities
Targeting high-multiplier resource nodes yields far higher totals than occupying multiple lower-level nodes. Spreading your forces too thin leaves individual squads vulnerable to coordinated attacks.
- Primary Focus: Send primary and secondary squads to occupy high-value clusters immediately when the round begins.
- Defensive Perimeter: Hold central node zones as a group to create a strong defensive boundary against competing alliances.
- Yield Efficiency: Focus stamina investments on holding high-yield zones for long periods rather than capturing small, short-term nodes.
Alliance Coordination and Squad Positioning
Coordination across your alliance prevents wasted movement and stamina depletion during late-stage pushes.
- Assign Sectors: Use alliance map markers to designate targeted nodes for specific players so multiple members do not compete for the same objective.
- Leapfrog Formations: Advance in pairs, keeping one squad stationed on an active node while a secondary squad moves nearby to reinforce or intercept enemy attackers.
- Stamina Management: Restrict squad movement across long distances. Minimize repositioning once a high-value sector is secured.
Tactical Combat Trade-Offs
Combat consumes the same stamina required for resource harvesting. Limit direct engagements to specific defensive conditions:
| Action | Resource Yield | Stamina Cost | Risk Level | Recommended Situation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Node Occupation | High / Consistent | Moderate | Low to Medium | Primary focus throughout the round |
| Defensive Skirmishes | Variable | Moderate | Medium | Defending a held high-value node |
| Base Raids / Unfocused PvP | Unpredictable | High | High | Avoid unless clearing a direct threat |
If enemy forces outnumber your alliance in a specific sector, withdraw to an adjacent, less contested high-value area. The final leaderboard is determined by accumulated resources, so avoiding costly battles preserves squad integrity and stamina for the end of the match.
Late-Round Deployment Adjustments
As map density increases in the final minutes, adjust squad roles based on strength:
- Primary Squad: Station your strongest hero lineup directly on your alliance's most valuable node to absorb incoming strikes.
- Secondary Squads: Deploy weaker or secondary squads as scouts along enemy approach paths to signal incoming pushes.
- Strategic Relocation: If a node is overwhelmed by superior enemy forces, relocate your squads to open objectives elsewhere on the map to continue gathering points until the timer expires.

This saved me time in the early game.
Can you add more details about strategy in a future update?
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Nice guide. I am checking the other Last War articles next.
