Upon completing Base Level 27 in Z Route: Redemption, pause headquarters progression and upgrade your internal infrastructure before pushing toward Base Level 28. Rushing your headquarters without upgrading supporting structures inflates your power rating without providing the combat research, march capacity, or hospital space needed to survive alliance battles and Capitol sieges.
Immediate Building Upgrade Priorities
Focus your construction queues on military infrastructure that directly improves combat performance and protects your troops during cross-server events.
| Structure | Prerequisite Facility | Strategic Upgrade Value |
|---|---|---|
| Tech Center Level 27 | Base Level 27, Research Depot | Unlocks advanced combat research branches and base-wide squad stat progression. |
| Drill Grounds Level 27 | Base Level 27, Barracks | Expands maximum unit capacity per march to increase total squad firepower. |
| Hospital Level 27 | Base Level 27, Wall Level 26 | Expands wounded capacity to prevent permanent soldier deaths during defense. |
| Wall Level 27 | Base Level 27 | Increases base durability and gate defense thresholds against rallies. |
To maximize event point yields, schedule these construction milestones during weekly Alliance Competition events rather than applying speedups immediately upon unlocking the queues.
Tech Center 27 Research Focus
Upgrading the Tech Center to Level 27 is your primary task after completing the base upgrade. Advanced research branches provide permanent stat multipliers that outweigh raw hero levels in open-field skirmishes.
- Marching Capacity: Maximize deployment limit nodes first to scale your effective squad damage and health pools.
- Core Troop Attributes: Invest into attack and defense modifiers that support your primary squad composition, especially teams utilizing UR heroes like Aria and Li.
- Alliance Assists: Request maximum alliance help clicks on every multi-day research queue before applying research speedups to conserve your inventory.
Drill Grounds and Squad Formation
Upgrading Drill Grounds to Level 27 expands your deployment limit, allowing squads to absorb sustained burst damage while maintaining pressure in multi-wave combat. Align your expanded troop capacity with a structured formation:
- Frontline: Deploy sturdy defensive units to absorb incoming fire and shield high-damage backline units.
- Midline/Support: Position support heroes such as UR Aria to cycle defensive shields and disrupt incoming enemy paths.
- Backline: Place primary damage dealers like UR Li safely in the back to deal continuous damage without suffering immediate attrition.
- Troop Tiers: Fill all newly unlocked march slots exclusively with your highest-tier trained soldiers (such as T9 units) to maximize rally contributions against world bosses and enemy strongholds.
Resource Protection and Hospital Capacity
Base Level 27 upgrades and research nodes require high amounts of food, iron, and coin, making unprotected bases prime targets for enemy raids during kill events.
- Keep Resources in Bags: Open resource crates and inventory bags only when you are ready to initiate a building or research project. Never leave unspent resources exposed above your protected depot thresholds when peace shields expire.
- Heal in Small Batches: If attacked during Capitol or Rust City events, heal wounded units in small increments rather than clearing the entire queue at once. This approach allows alliance help clicks to quickly clear hospital beds and prevents incoming casualties from exceeding capacity. Exceeding hospital capacity results in permanent troop loss rather than standard healing.

Good guide for Z Route: Redemption players. The base building part was useful.
The tips are practical and easy to follow.
The explanation is clear, especially for beginners.
This helped me understand base building much better.
