To score over 3,000 points in the Last War Frontline Breakthrough minigame, you must enter the final scoring corridor with at least 45 to 50 surviving soldiers. Final event points depend on your squad's end-run damage output, which scales directly with the number of troops firing at the closing point barricades. Achieving this benchmark requires switching from flat addition gates to multiplication gates as your squad grows, avoiding explosive barrel splash damage, and eliminating side-to-side drift on the final runway.
Gate Selection by Squad Size
Early gates provide minimal returns from multipliers because your baseline squad is small. Build a numerical base first, then shift toward percentage and multiplier gates once your unit count makes multiplication more valuable than flat additions.
| Current Squad Size | Preferred Gate Type | Tactical Reason |
|---|---|---|
| 1–15 Units | Flat Addition (+5, +10, +15) | Multipliers yield negligible gains on low starting counts. |
| 16–35 Units | Highest Net Value (+20 vs. x2) | Choose whichever gate provides the higher net soldier increase. |
| 36+ Units | Multipliers (x2, x3) | Multiplication scales unit count faster than flat additions. |
When approaching oscillating gates that shift between positive blue modifiers and negative red dividers, hold your formation on the outer edge of the lane. Wait until the positive modifier aligns with your path before moving forward to avoid clipping red penalty gates.
Obstacle Targeting and Hazard Avoidance
Because soldiers automatically target the nearest object in their lane, your lateral position controls your damage focus. Keep the following rules in mind when navigating barriers:
- Clear lanes selectively: Do not attempt to destroy every object on screen. Focus your squad's firing lane on obstacles that block access to blue gates.
- Handle explosive barrels at distance: Red barrels clear surrounding obstacles and enemies when shot from long range. If your squad cannot destroy a barrel before reaching its blast radius, steer into an alternate lane to avoid taking self-inflicted splash damage.
- Account for wide formations: Crossing 50 units widens your horizontal footprint. Avoid diagonal drifting around swinging blades or sliding blocks, as trailing edges will clip the hazard. Instead, use sharp, decisive lateral movements to clear traps.
Final Corridor Strategy
Do not weave or dodge once you enter the final scoring stretch. Align your formation dead-center down the main track and commit forward. Centering your squad concentrates all projectile cones directly into each successive scoring barrier. Sustained forward fire shatters the barricades before your troops collide with them, converting your preserved squad count into maximum points to surpass the 3,000-point threshold.

Good guide for Last War players. The early game part was useful.
This saved me time in the early game.
I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
Can you add more details about early game in a future update?
