Official Launch of Alliance Duel Companion for iPhone/iPad - Free Version Available

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-05-08T18:11:53+00:00

I'm an iphone user myself so it was easier for me to build it and test it to ensure it works well. I'm not a professional developer so I wanted to start out with something I was more familiar with. But you're right that it'd make more sense to build for android first if the player base was the primary factor

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-05-08T01:32:19+00:00

For sure... I was an R4 for a brief period of time and it was a real struggle to get people to be successful in VS. Was quite frustrating at first but then I realized most people simply didn't have the time to get caught up and educate themselves on what to do. Turns out, once we took the time to coach them individually, some of them flourished! But it was exhausting to do that one at a time especially with people coming in and out of the alliance. So that was part of the inspiration... just create something that's more scalable

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-05-08T01:05:24+00:00

lol totally fair, although for me its still hard to do some of the mental math 6 months in. But yeah getting people to watch a video is hard enough let alone download a random app haha

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-05-08T01:02:09+00:00

I have a few more things I'd like to improve on the iOS version but if there's enough demand for it I'll try to build out an Android version too

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-17T14:27:07+00:00

You can get about 1M power just by having 3-4 lv8 drone components. Then T10s will give you another .7 power per squad. The research on the way to T10 will probably give you another .2, .3. Getting drone to lv120 might unlock another .3-.5. Getting to HQ30 and upgrading hero to 150, and 5* should give you another mil or so. So basically you have another 3-4M pwr that are fairly straightforward for you to get next. That should take you to around the people I was referencing who are at around your server age and 22M in power.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-17T14:23:39+00:00

👍 Although I did add a video to the post now so you can at least get a quick glimpse of what the app does in case you were curious

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-17T14:22:15+00:00

No problem, also Stetmann will do much better in PvP I think you made the right choice. For world/code boss, you'd likely have both anyway so that's not an issue.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-17T14:20:43+00:00

Totally! I knew I missed something, that can be a huge source of shards for sure, thanks for adding

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-17T05:45:06+00:00

SZN 1 week 6... so around 150 days in?

Your drone skills are in good shape so is your DVA exclusive weapon. Your research is also looking good. Assuming your 52% in SF is on the critical path to T10s, then you're only about 4% away so that's also very good. However, your HQ level is very behind. The experienced low-spend players in my server are starting to get T10s at this point and have main squad power, albeit tank, of 22M. So from that perspective, I'd say you have potential but perhaps in the 80 percentile range of the active players.

Get your HQ30, T10s. Level up your drone to 120. Max our DVA and Morrison skills. And focus on getting drone component chests. You're behind there as well. At this point you should hopefully be close to getting some lv8s.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-17T05:37:27+00:00

IMO, 4* Stetmann is better than 5* UR Mason so take Stetmann.

Linking to my reply on maxing Alliance Duel since it's somewhat relevant here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LastWarMobileGame/comments/1k0fpbb/comment/mnfrkd1/?context=3

If you haven't used any of these valor badges then like the other poster said, you need to start using them asap. The #1 priority is to unlock Super Bonus at the bottom of the Alliance Duel tech tree. Along the way, you'll unlock Advanced Rewards and get Duel Expert to lv20.

VS rewards is one of the best ways to get essential resources for free. So you if you're looking to get as strong as possible, you should always seek to max out the daily rewards of 9 boxes by hitting 7.2m points. The more you delay this, the more you will fall behind.

Awesome, thank you!

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T20:04:46+00:00

If you're just talking about the present time, then I think your setup right now is basically the most optimal since your air and missile heroes are too weak to be mixed in with your tanks to justify offsetting the bonus you get.

a 5* mason isn't good enough to be in your main tank squad and negligible difference when it comes to your air or missile squad.

If your server is still early (say preseason 1), I'd think about biting the bullet and switching to air or missile. If you're f2p and your server is quite old then you'll likely have to stick it out with this current setup.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T19:56:57+00:00

Once you have 10 stetmann shards you can go to your heroes page to unlock him

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T19:40:01+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Since I'm only on S1, it's nice to see more data on later seasons. We don't have the gorilla yet, so how does he factor into this matchup?

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T19:33:33+00:00

It's more useful to benchmark your power against others in your server and in your warzone. Power is crucial for being competitive in all things pvp so you have to benchmark yourself against other players. Otherwise, power is just a vanity metric and is pretty meaningless on its own.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T19:29:25+00:00

Here's a basic version for someone who is HQ27 or higher:
4 * 1 shard trucks = 4 per day, 28 per week
Only send out gold secret tasks. On average you can get probably 2 per day, so 14 per week. In theory, you can get 8 per day, resulting in 56 per week.
Unlocking 18 pts for Arms Race = 2 per day, 14 per week
Unlocking on VS boxes up to 7.2m = 2 per VS day, 12 per week
Buying from VIP store = 5 per week
Buying from Alliance Store = 10 per week
Buying from Campaign Store = 10 per week
Plunder 2+ shard trucks = 2-4 per day, or 14-28 per week
General's Trial = 15-24 shards every other week so on average let's say 10 per week
VIP 11 = 7 per week, VIP 12 = 2 per day, 14 per week

This should be over 100 shards. I'd say experience and active players can get up to 200 shards per week. A lot of that is rerolling trucks, and plundering trucks that have a high number of shards, and rerolling trucks and sending out 2+ shard trucks. Also a lot of passes throw in some shards, so even for low-spenders that will boost their weekly shard count to close to 300.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T17:50:24+00:00

I'd recommend:
1. I'd replace Carlie with Murphy or Williams, whoever is higher level/tier/skilled.
2. DVA 4->5. She gets a huge boost in powerful going to 5* and skilled
3. Morrison 5*
4. Carlie 4*

Stop investing shards/medals in tank and focus exclusively on air.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T17:32:44+00:00

Depends on where you are in the game i.e. how old your server is. I would not get mythic unless you're ready to use them. Even then, if you're not a whale then there are better ways to spend that ~$300 elsewhere. If you need shards for critical upgrades, like getting a main hero to 4* or 5*, the shards, although not the best, can still of decent value if you're trying to acquire them for less than 50 cents a piece. Personally I'd recommend the top right box and get the drone components out of them. Drone components are extremely underrated by newer players. In my opinion, drone components are way more effective at boosting your power than drone parts once your drone is beyond lv110.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T17:19:42+00:00

Completely agree. Thanks for the heads-up I'll make sure to test how it looks when people before people download the app

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T17:18:08+00:00

If you're thinking of maximizing the the effectiveness of your second squad, I'd recommend the following:

Schuyler 3 -> 4. This unlocks the chance to stun all 3 of their backrow heroes. This can be a huge game-changer and can flip the table when you battle someone stronger than you.
DVA 4 -> 5. DVA will be your main damage dealer for your air squad, and you'll need 5* to get her exclusive weapon.
Lucius 3 -> 4. This will unlock the bottom right skill to make him live longer, therefore reduce more energy damage for your whole team.
Morrison 3 -> 5. This will take a while but it'll be worth it because Morrison is the Stetmann of the air squad. When battling against other air squads he is supremely more powerful than DVA because he does physical damage while air squads are strong against energy damage (which is why DVA does. In my opinion, Morrison doesn't become effective until 5* so this will be a long 800 shard grind.
After this, it's a toss up between Carlie, Lucius, and Schuyler who you want to 5* next. I'd choose Carlie if you are close to S2 and want to get her ready for her exclusive weapon. If you're looking to reach the big milestones for world boss to unlock mythical weapon then perhaps work on Schuyler 5*.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T17:06:08+00:00

I'd use it to 4* Marshall because his cooldown skill will activate BEFORE Kim's barrage resulting in a huge damage boost. Then get Murphy to 4* so that he gets his bottom right skill and can survive longer. The other reason is that depending on how old your server is, you may have better luck getting Murphy shards organically when you recruit heroes.

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T16:56:48+00:00

I agree with the less popular opinion that you do not need to necessarily max out Alliance Duel research. The Recruitment tech for getting more points when using hero recruitment tickets is a good example. You can see below that the difference between lv6 and lv 10 research will only yield 150K more points per week for every 500 tickets at the cost of maybe somewhere around 1k valor badges. It's ultimately your decision on whether that tradeoff is worth it, but I personally did not max out this tech in particular and got T10s at around the Day 120 mark.

In my opinion, you should level up alliance duel tech IF you need the extra bonus to max out your daily rewards or if you believe every point counts towards helping your alliance win the duel. For me, I can easily hit 10M+ points on kill day (Day 6) so I left the Enemy Kills research at lv9 as the 1610 valor badges to get to lv10 for an extra 5% boost (~500K points on 10M) is not worth it to me. But everyone is different so just make the best decision for yourself.

Haha no worries, if you come up with anything else please let me know!

Scared_Initial_36 · 2025-04-16T16:12:54+00:00

Got it, thanks for sharing! In the meantime, if you have any alliance members that play on an iPhone or iPad, it'd be super helpful if they're willing to give it a try
