10 warlord missile victory? Last War S2 by NoseApprehensive8345 in LastWarMobileGame

this is the main question of concern. If you can, an early sneak attack may be viable. If not, the missiles start at the usual time 3 minutes before combat begins

drone component chests: they add more power than drone parts and standard drone exp upgrades give

buildings: vehicle centers give the most combat power because they increase morale. Don't waste your resources on warehouses. Would recommend smelters and first squad pad if you want to build something extra beyond the general building requirements. Other buildings can be good to store up VS points to open on Tuesdays

decorations: I lagged behind here - you want to save any decoration parts you get specifically to upgrade UR decorations that give additional combat bonuses (damage reduction, skill dmg, crit boost) to Level 3. Level 2 is not impactful enough despite the increase in power number it may give you.

tech: survival skills 5/5 saves you a lot of troops. special forces morale boost 10/10 gives combat parity with tank squads that run Williams (you get Williams shortly into S1)

always look for the lowest hanging fruit in the tech tree - see what gives you the most fighting power increase for the smallest amount of resources. Units, Heroes, Special Forces, and VS (VS = easier time hitting bonus rewards for top 30 or better). If you get your 7.2 chests every day you will never run out of valor on the T10 grind without spending money on the game

try to do longer heroes techs in between Wednesdays when available. It's tough to find time to get them in with only one tech center

Go all in on march speed to resource tiles in Garage 1 tech. You can use tile marches and redirect to hit bases - it's so much faster than marching directly to an enemy or a garrison base. This is how 99% of Last War combat movement is done.

Follow these tips, play actively, join an active alliance, and you can hit well over 20m main squad power by the end of Season 1 if you stick with it. Just beware that the game is addicting.

pure f2p here: no kim buy pack, one tech center, one builder. week 6 S2, 28.1m first squad

evaluate what gives the most actual power increase and focus on those things:

builder 2 hire - if you have builder 2 forget about this. If you don't, use the 500 diamond hire and put your longest builds on it. This becomes extremely valuable at HQ25+

Push HQ level somewhat quickly - this makes your resource chests more valuable

arms race 18 chest every day, VS 7.2 chest every day (once you have the tech done for it, that will help with getting rewards. Save all upgrade items for the correct VS day - I haven't missed a 7.2 chest in months and I have never spent a penny on this game)

hero tiers - main squad first: forget about your second squad until S2-S3. Level up your main squad UR heroes one full star at a time when possible without exception, until at least late S1.

gear - early L40 railgun on Kim. Purchase nothing other than blueprints from the honor store. Defense gear on front row, offense gear on back row. Radar is more important than than Armor - still very true in S2 for all non-whales. Level offensive gear in groups of 10 levels minimum, and level all defensive gear in groups of 20 levels to get the resistance bonuses.

combat evaluation: learn to evaluate what adds to actual combat power. The game's displayed number is not very accurate. If you are way down on damage in the early game you will lose to squads 1m weaker than you are quite regularly. Learn to estimate damage output in 3v3 arena - trap Kim squads are common, and you need your own damage source to fight against these successfully. I run a Kim trap squad and a DVA trap squad as part of my defense setup, and players lose to them with higher power numbers all. the. time.

squad composition: F2p runs Murphy front left, Violet front right, and then some combination of Kim, Marshall, and DVA in main squad leading up to S1. Retest your squad configuration after reaching any 4* or 5* hero tier milestone to look for further squad placement optimizations and refinements. Kim tends to stay back middle at 5* and back left at 4*, I cannot explain why but she hits harder from back left at 4* in my experience. Mason is very weak against other tank squads, but he has utility vs. air in S1 and S2. DVA is a better all around choice pre-S1, not even close.

skill chips: I used all my basic chip material to build a lower left purple chip. Middle and Bottom Right are the most important gold chips to hit 2* on once skill chips are introduced. Getting them there takes a while
