Puzzles & Survival: How to Save Healing Speedups in Wasteland War

To save healing speedups during the Battle for the Wasteland in Puzzles & Survival, avoid using the "Heal All" button. Instead, heal wounded units in small batches sized so that your alliance members can clear the entire queue timer using Alliance Help taps.

How Batch Healing Bypasses Speedup Costs

Tapping "Heal All" in the Infirmary queues all wounded troops at once, producing timers that last days or weeks. Because Alliance Help reduces a queue by either a flat minimum duration or a small percentage per tap, individual helps provide negligible progress against massive timers.

Batch healing exploits this mechanic by shrinking individual queues down to 15–35 minutes. When you queue only a few hundred units at a time, each help tap knocks off a large portion of the remaining time. In an active alliance during Wasteland War, dozens of members tapping the help button can clear a short queue within seconds, restoring your troops without using any speedup items.

Batch Size Targets by Alliance Center Level

Your Alliance Center level dictates how many helps your queues can receive, which determines the maximum healing time your alliance can clear for free. Higher-tier troops (such as Tier 10 and Tier 11) take longer to heal per unit than lower tiers, so adjust troop counts downward when handling higher-tier soldiers to keep timers within target windows.

Alliance Center Level	Max Alliance Helps	Target Queue Duration	Typical Safe Batch (T9/T10 Troops)
Level 20–24	23–27 Helps	20–25 Minutes	250–400 Troops
Level 25–29	28–32 Helps	28–35 Minutes	450–650 Troops
Level 30+	33–38+ Helps	35–45 Minutes	700–1,000 Troops

Step-by-Step Batch Healing Routine

Coordinate with your alliance during lulls or between rally marches to ensure members are actively pressing the help button.

Open the Infirmary: Clear the auto-selected maximum troop count.
Set the troop slider: Adjust the quantity until the total healing timer falls within your Alliance Center's target window (typically 20 to 35 minutes).
Start the heal and request help: Confirm the queue, then immediately tap the Alliance Help icon over your Infirmary or on your main Sanctuary screen.
Wait for queue completion: During active battle phases, alliance assists usually wipe out the timer within 5 to 15 seconds.
Repeat the process: Immediately queue the next batch of wounded units and request help again.

Cycling this process continuously for 15 to 20 minutes clears thousands of wounded soldiers from your hospital beds at zero speedup cost.

Managing Hospital Overflow Risks

The primary risk during Wasteland War is exceeding your Infirmary capacity. If your hospital fills to 100%, any additional wounded troops die permanently instead of entering the healing queue.

Batch healing mitigates this danger by clearing beds between battles. Leaving wounded troops in the Infirmary until the event ends leaves you vulnerable if your Sanctuary is attacked or if an alliance rally suffers heavy casualties. Maintain a safety buffer of at least 20% open hospital capacity before joining contested rallies on the Wasteland Hub or turrets.

When to Spend Speedups vs. Batch Healing

Use batch healing during staging phases, defense standstills, and post-rally regrouping.

Reserve actual healing speedup items strictly for critical combat moments, such as reinforcing a contested turret under heavy bombardment or maintaining garrison strength during an active push on the central Zenith. Once the immediate march or defense window closes, return to batch healing to restore the rest of your hospital roster.
