Build Your Dream

Last War Survival: Ultimate Buildings Guide (Updated)

The Base in Last War is the foundation of your survival. Every building here has its own purpose: from training elite Units to producing critical resources. To develop effectively, it is important to understand what to spend resources on first.
Attention: there are many buildings in the game, so this guide will be regularly updated with new descriptions. Let's start with the most important control centers of your base.

Headquarters

Headquarters is the most important and main building in the game. All other buildings cannot exceed its level, so your main goal is the constant development of the Headquarters.

If the Headquarters is not in the process of upgrading, the progress of the entire base slows down. In cases where you cannot start its upgrade immediately, you need to focus on fulfilling the requirements for its transition to the next level.

Basic upgrade rules:

To upgrade the Headquarters, you always need to fulfill two mandatory conditions — raise the level of two other buildings to the current level of the Headquarters.
Starting from level 8, one of the conditions is always the Tech Centre.
The second building requirement changes depending on the level.

A full list of all requirements and necessary resources for each stage is presented in the table below.

Upgrade: In this menu, you can check the current construction conditions, the necessary amount of resources, and the bonuses you will receive after completing the upgrade.

Survivor in HQ: You can assign two unique survivors to the building. Researcher Taylor improves Radar Tasks, and Agent Shirley increases attack and unit capacity. Note that these characters are available only through purchase in the VIP Status program.

Buffs: Buff management menu. A protective shield is activated on the first tab. The "Battle" tab displays all active military bonuses, and the Economy tab — bonuses to production and construction.

Customization: Here you can find various decorations for the Headquarters. Many skins provide permanent bonuses to base stats, but most of them are purchased separately.

Headquarters Expansion: Levels 31–35

With the start of the Season 2 Celebration event, the base development cap increases to level 35. For free-to-play (F2P) players, the preparation process to upgrade to level 31 will take about one and a half to two months. The main limiting factor is the new resource — Oil

Technological Preparation (The Age of Oil)

Progress is strictly tied to a new research branch. Without completing the key nodes in the Tech Center, the Headquarters upgrade button will remain locked.

Unlocking Production: The first step is activating the Oil Well building.
Production Bonuses: The "Oil Output" technologies (Levels I, II, and III) are mandatory to research, as they provide a necessary percentage boost to resource production.
Additional Tech Center: An important milestone will be unlocking an Additional Tech Center, which will allow you to conduct two researches simultaneously and significantly reduce the overall development time.
Key Node: The ultimate goal in the current branch is the "base Expansion" research, which officially removes the level cap for the main building.

Building Requirements (Levels 31–35)

To start construction, in addition to accumulated Oil and standard resources, the following building conditions must be met:

For the transition to level 31:

Tech Center (at least one): Level 30.
One of the troop centers (Tank Center, Aircraft Center, or Missile Center): Level 30.
Barracks: Level 30.

For subsequent levels (32–35):

Level 32: Tech Center, Barracks, the chosen troop center, and Wall — all Level 31.
Level 33: Tech Center, Barracks, the chosen troop center, as well as Hospital and Drill Ground — all Level 32.
Level 34: Tech Center, Barracks, the chosen troop center, Wall, and Alliance Center — all Level 33.
Level 35: Tech Center, Barracks, the chosen troop center, Hospital, and Drill Ground — all Level 34.

Tech Centre

Tech Centre is the second most important building on your base. It is a mandatory requirement for the development of the Headquarters, and without its regular upgrade your progress will stop. All key Tech are researched here, which permanently strengthen your Economy and army.

Features and development tips:

Research Speed: Increasing the level of the Tech Centre itself directly increases the research speed.
Survivor: You can significantly speed up scientific progress by placing appropriate survivors in the building.
Second building: If desired, you can purchase a second Tech Centre (available through purchase). This effectively doubles the research speed, allowing you to research two Tech at the same time.
