To unlock Kimberly’s 1-star awakening in Last War during Season 6, you must first raise her base UR profile to 5 stars, play on a server bracket where Season 6 tank awakening is active, and invest Hero Awakening Stones and shards across her awakening progression tree. Completing the breakthrough permanently raises her base stats and enhances her skill damage multipliers.
Prerequisites to Unlock Kimberly's Awakening
Before investing awakening materials, verify that your account meets the structural gates:
- Base 5-Star UR Kimberly: Kimberly must reach 5 stars with all tier nodes unlocked. The awakening interface remains inaccessible if she is below 5 stars.
- Active Season 6 Server Timeline: Hero awakening for tank units is unlocked according to the seasonal schedule. You cannot activate her awakening nodes on newer servers until the Season 6 awakening phase opens.
Awakening Material Requirements and Sources
Progressing toward 1-star awakening requires filling an incremental node track using specific currencies:
| Component | Target Requirement | Primary Sourcing |
|---|---|---|
| Hero Baseline | 5-Star UR Kimberly | Universal UR Shards, Hero Recruitment |
| Awakening Stones | Hero Awakening Stones | Season 6 Event Rewards, Season Store |
| Hero Shards | Kimberly Shards or Universal UR Shards | Season Duel Milestones, VIP Daily Packs |
| Level Reagents | Gold and Combat EXP | Radar Tasks, World Map Zombie Hunting |
Each node along the track demands a set quantity of Awakening Stones and shards, awarding minor attribute gains at each step. Commit shards only when you have sufficient stock to reach the final 1-star milestone; pausing midway grants small stat points but leaves the upgraded skill inactive.
Combat Upgrades and Squad Adjustments
Reaching 1-star awakening provides a direct boost to Kimberly’s Attack, Defense, and HP, while scaling the damage multiplier on her active multi-rocket and laser strike abilities. Because she serves as the primary energy damage dealer for tank formations, building around her strengths ensures maximum output.
Lineup Configuration
Run a full 5-tank formation to preserve the 20% faction stat bonus:
- Frontline: Place Murphy and Williams in the front row to absorb physical hits and generate protective barriers.
- Backline: Position Kimberly between Marshall and Stetmann. Marshall provides attack power and critical strike buffs to enhance her skill burst, while Stetmann adds single-target pressure to help eliminate tank counters.
Equipment and Tech Focus
- Equip high-level Radar and Gun gear to scale her energy attack and critical strike chance.
- Reforge Kimberly's weapon to prioritize percentage-based Attack bonuses over flat stats.
- Upgrade Tank Squad Lethality and Defense nodes in alliance research to match her increased damage ceiling.
Investment Priority
Prioritize Kimberly’s 1-star awakening if a tank march serves as your primary combat squad in Season 6. Only redirect awakening resources to alternate targets—such as aircraft units—if your primary march has already migrated away from tanks or if Kimberly has not yet met the prerequisite 5-star promotion.

This helped me understand base building much better.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
This saved me time in the early game.
Good guide for Last War players. The base building part was useful.
