Alliance VS Duel in Last War: Survival

On the first day of the Alliance Duel, points can be earned by performing the following actions:

1. Using Stamina
   Scoring points for spending stamina overlaps with the "Arms Race: Drone Upgrade" event. This allows you to complete two goals with one action and progress in both events simultaneously.
2. Completing Radar Tasks
   Preparation for this stage is best started on Sunday. Complete radar tasks, but do not claim the rewards — leave them pending with a red dot . Tasks will accumulate, but remember the limit (storage is not infinite).
   Tip: Calculate your timing so that by Monday morning you have a number of tasks close to the limit (e.g., 34/35) and minimum time on the new task timer. After the daily reset, claim all rewards at once. Since many tasks require stamina, this combines perfectly with the Arms Race.
3. Using Hero XP
   It is most profitable to spend XP on Thursday (the specific Hero day). But if on Monday you are short on points for individual rewards or need to urgently help the alliance snatch a victory — use it. This action also counts towards the "Arms Race: Hero Upgrade".
4. Using Drone Parts and Battle Data
   This is the main source of points on Monday. Hoard these resources all week to dump them on this specific day.
   Strategy: If the opponent is weak, spend exactly enough to get all individual chests, and save the rest for next week. If there is a fierce fight or you want to become the Duel MVP — use everything to the max.

On the second day of the Alliance Duel, points are awarded for strengthening your base and developing infrastructure. The main ways to earn points:

1. Using Building Speedups
   Use building speedups, including universal ones , to complete building construction. This is one of the main sources of points on Tuesday.
2. Increasing Building Power
   Increasing power means not just finishing construction, but also placing buildings from the gift box.
   Trick: Unless there is an urgent need (e.g., to unlock new features), keep completed buildings in the "gift" state until Tuesday. This is especially relevant for secondary structures (mines, hospitals) and in the early stages of the game.

Construction Planning Tip:

• On Sunday, start constructing "heavy" buildings with long timers (Headquarters, Barracks, Tech Center). Start several such constructions at once.
• On Tuesday, finish them using speedups. To maximize points, it is ideal to complete 2–3 major buildings and spend a total of 10–14 days' worth of speedups.

Scoring points for building power and speedups overlaps with the "Arms Race: City Building" event. Try to complete them in parallel.

3. Sending UR Trucks
   Send only Legendary (UR) trucks, as points are awarded specifically for them. Do not spare Trade Contracts to refresh the list until an orange truck appears.

The third day of the Alliance Duel is dedicated to science. It is one of the most challenging days to score points, but with proper preparation, you can pull ahead here.

1. Using Tech Research Speedups
   Spend research speedups, including universal ones , to complete processes faster.
2. Increasing Tech Power
   Points are awarded for completing research. Important difference from buildings: Do not try to "save" completed research by not clicking finish. This will block your Tech Center, and you will lose precious time.

Planning Tip:

• Start a long and difficult research in advance (a few days early) so that its timer expires on Wednesday. This will give an instant boost of points at the start of the day.
• Scoring points here overlaps with the "Arms Race: Tech Research" event.

3. Using Valor Badges
   This is your trump card. Badges yield a huge amount of points. They are used in advanced tech branches:
   • Alliance Duel (the most important branch for points);
   • Trucks;
   • Special Forces.

   Strategy: Badges are a scarce resource, obtained mainly by winning the Duel itself. Do not spend them on other days! Hoard them all week, and on Wednesday dump all your stock along with speedups to research as many "badge" techs as possible.

The fourth day of the Alliance Duel is dedicated to hero development. It is one of the easiest and most favorite days for many players, as it allows you to quickly score points using accumulated resources.

Points can be earned for the following actions:

1. Elite Recruitment
   Recruit heroes in the Tavern.
2. Using Hero XP
   Increase hero levels using accumulated XP. This method also overlaps with "Arms Race — Hero Upgrade", allowing you to effectively combine both events.
3. Using Hero Shards
   Promote hero stars using shards:
   Later, the ability to earn points for upgrading Exclusive Weapons will be added.
4. Using Skill Medals
   Upgrade hero skills using skill medals. This not only yields points but also increases the combat effectiveness of your squads.

Important Tips:

• All resources related to hero improvement (XP, shards, skill medals) should be saved for this day and not spent without urgent necessity.
• Try to synchronize your actions as much as possible with the "Arms Race — Hero Upgrade" event to get double benefits.

The fifth day of the Alliance Duel is a stage of comprehensive preparation. In fact, it is a mix of all previous days (Construction, Tech, Radar), but with an important caveat: most likely, your reserves of resources for construction and research have already run out on Tuesday and Wednesday. Therefore, the main focus on Friday is on soldier training.

1. Completing Radar Tasks
   The principle is the same as before. Start preparing on Thursday: complete tasks, but do not claim the rewards (leave them with a red dot). On Friday morning, collect all tasks at once.
2. Building Speedups and Increasing Building Power
   If you have resources left, use construction speedups and complete buildings, just as you did on Tuesday. If there are buildings left in "gift boxes" — now is the time to unpack them.
3. Tech Speedups and Increasing Tech Power
   Complete and apply technologies if you have spare speedups left. The principle of action is similar to Wednesday.
4. Training Speedups and Training Units
   Unit training is your main source of points on Friday. To get the most out of it, train units in stages (promoting troop levels is often more profitable than direct training). We analyzed these nuances in detail in the article "Unit Training".
5. Advanced Content (Late Seasons)
   In the later stages of the game, the list of point sources expands. Additional points can be obtained for:
   • Upgrading the Gorilla Overlord;
   • Creating and training T11 level soldiers.

Important:

• Scoring points for training overlaps perfectly with the "Arms Race — Unit Progression" event. Synchronize your actions!

The sixth day of the Alliance Duel is dedicated to combat operations. This is the culmination of the week — the most difficult and intense day, as success here depends not only on your preparation but also on the actions of the enemy.

Points can be earned for the following actions:

1. Sending UR Trucks
   Send only Legendary (UR) trucks. Do not spare Trade Contracts to refresh the list, as these are guaranteed points that do not depend on the outcome of the war.
2. Completing Legendary Secret Tasks
   Complete Legendary (orange) tasks in the Secret Command Post. Use Secret Orders to refresh.
   Tip: If you followed the strategy and saved tasks with a star throughout the week, today is the best day to complete them all.
3. Using ANY Speedups
   Unlike theme days, on Saturday points are awarded for using absolutely all types of speedups (healing, training, construction, tech):
4. Killing Enemy Units (or losing your own)
   Points are awarded for killing enemy soldiers and for the death of your own.
   Important Nuance: You can attack any players (including on other servers), but there is a significant difference in scoring. Killing units of the rival alliance (the one you are dueling against) gives 5 times more points than anyone else. Therefore, the priority target is your opponent in the table.
