Last War: Survival New Player Guide

So, you’ve just jumped into Last War: Survival and you’re already feeling like “What the heck am I supposed to do first?” Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. The early game can be a bit overwhelming, but I’ve got your back. Follow these tips, and you’ll be cruising through the beginning without pulling your hair out.

Last War: Survival

Tanks. Tanks. And More Tanks.

First thing’s first: forget about all those fancy troops, go straight for tanks. Trust me, tanks are your best friend in the early game. Not only do they hold up well in battle, but the tech to upgrade them comes pretty quickly, so you’re going to want to prioritize that. The tank squad will give you some solid defense and help push through those early battles with minimal losses. If you focus on them early, you’ll be ahead of the game in no time.

Heroes: Don’t Get Too Fancy with Them

Hero fragments. Ugh. If you’ve been playing for even a little while, you know how hard they are to come by, and upgrading heroes isn’t exactly cheap. So, what should you do? Pick heroes that are easy to get fragments for, like Mason (he’s a beast early on). You’ll save yourself a ton of resources by focusing on heroes that you can upgrade without needing to grind forever.

Newbie Tasks: Don’t Skip Them

One thing you’ll learn real quick: do not skip the newbie tasks. Seriously. They’re your ticket to some quick rewards and easy progress. These tasks cover everything from upgrading your buildings to training your heroes. You’ll also want to make sure you do the Military Competition tasks—they give you a nice chunk of rewards that can really help you out. Even if you’re not in the mood, just do them. You’ll thank me later.

Building Upgrades – Don’t Wait Around

Once you’ve got your Building Workshop up and running, don’t waste time. As soon as you’re able to, just keep upgrading your buildings. You can skip the waiting time on new constructions, so no more sitting around twiddling your thumbs. Keep your base growing and you’ll start seeing the results much faster.

Troops: Train Smarter, Not Harder

Training troops is time-consuming. And healing them? Yeah, that takes forever. My advice? Don’t overdo it early on. Instead, produce fewer troops at once and make use of your alliance for helping with speeding up the process. After that, you can train them in smaller batches, which lets you save time while still building up your army. Trust me, it’ll pay off.

Combat Tips: Speed and Strategy

When you finish a battle, don’t go back to your base. Just hit the next target and keep fighting. It’s way faster than returning home every time. But if you come across an opponent who’s too tough for you? Don’t sweat it. You can mess with their timing by sending out your troops at the right moment to throw them off. It’s all about playing smart, not just hard.

Early Priorities: Gold Mines and Training Facilities

Alright, one more thing—gold and hero experience are going to be your two biggest problems early on. What should you upgrade first? Gold Mines and your Training Base. Gold is essential, and the Training Base will make sure your heroes level up fast enough to keep up with the battles. If you neglect these, you’ll find yourself struggling to make any real progress.
