The first 5 weeks in Last War Mobile Game are the most crucial for establishing you and your alliance at the server. The Capital Wars will determine which alliances will get the Capital and the largest buff cities. You need to upgrade quickly to be competitive.
Cheap Player, What to Buy?
I think most of us fall into this category. IF you were to spend a total of $100 and no more, what would you do? These are the purchases I would say are most impactful:
- Kimberly ($0.99): You will use all UR shards on her until level 5
- Second Building Queue ($1.99): The third and fourth aren’t necessary unless you have deep pockets for resources
- Second Research Center ($9.99)
Optionally, you can consider Williams ($19.99) in the Warriors Pass on week 3.
30 Day VIP is a MUST!
Always Always Always spend the 10,000 diamonds on VIP! ALWAYS! Keep it renewed.
Why not the 2nd and 3rd Building Queues?
What happens is, you are going to be bottlenecked on resources if you have 4 building queues. Also, you should not focus on upgrading any buildings past 14 anyways if it’s not essential to you HQ.
What to Upgrade?
- HQ
- Wall
- Barracks (but stagger)
- Alliance Support Hub
- 1 hospital
- Tank Center
- Gear Factory (lvl 20)
- 1 Drill Ground
You want to blow through your HQ upgrades. Always be upgrading the buildings that are the next requirement for your HQ upgrade. Upgrade your gear factory when nothing else is upgrading. The Gear Factory needs to be level 10 quickly. But, you have 4-5 months until level 20 is important.

You want to continue to upgrade only the necessary buildings.
- You need to level up to HQ 20 by week 2
- You need to level up to HQ 22 by week 3
- You need to level up to HQ 24 by week 4-5
This can be accomplished only if you use your resources wisely.
Secretary Buffs in Week 3!
After Capital Day is done, your Secretaries become available. There are huge buffs here. Do this:
- Secretary of Development before building
- Secretary of Science before tech research
Save Stamina for Gold Zombies
Save your stamina. Only use what you need to open the Golden Arms Race chest. When the Gold Zombies appear, kill the zombies and avoid the bosses until level 24. Troops are expensive and you will lose them if you are under 6 million in power on your first squad. These Gold Zombies will give you hella resources!
Raid Bases Daily
You will want to find bases to raid daily. When you find a good base with a lot of resources, save the base in “Special”. The “farms” will be important. Every day, hit your farms ~7 times until you plunder limit is reached.
.
Trains, What to Target?
You are going to want to raid gold trains that have SSR (purple) gear chests. If you press hard enough, you will have a full set of 20 by week 5. This will add ~1.2-1.4 million in power to your 1st squad, or about 15% of their power.
