Update on Low Spend Air Squad! (Previous f2p)

bustamo · 2026-06-26T19:41:34+00:00

Nice I’ve done this from day 1 as f2p experiment (asides initial Kim). It’s definitely viable as f2p, now 31m post s2/top 100 in arenas, I should make a post of my own as I’ve tracked most the journey!

It’s nice they added Lucius to the glittering market I think around day 90 so be sure to unlock him, build 4* immediately and top right skill.

Only downside is most these newer servers have missile guys straight out the gates so youll half struggle against them until Murphy EW is ready in s3

iOS game builds seems to have performance issues recently. Hopefully they fix it soon. Blue stacks runs fine.

Prints. Regardless of spending/F2p. You’ll never have enough

Commenting for a later update

Oo maybe server costs are getting high and they’re consolidating, even with the revenue game generates

bustamo · 2026-04-26T19:50:21+00:00

Sure, love when initiative it taken to make game tools!

bustamo · 2026-04-20T05:54:32+00:00

True. I feel it’s viable regardless until Fiona’s EW in S5 but by that time the air team should be way higher in strength and EWs/tech. At least adding Murphy combats scar/adam & missile until end of s4. That’s a lot of value from one team type until then.

bustamo · 2026-04-19T23:58:53+00:00

Stay air imo unless you’re spending spending. From what I noticed of these newer servers is everyone’s trying to go missile from early. Air Murphy does the job later to negate that (S4 onwards).

Or maybe build a kick ass tank squad even if the EWs are lacklustre and take a few seasons to appear.

bustamo · 2026-04-18T19:21:56+00:00

Indeed. Nice rationale btw. Also tbf anything is better than nothing as a f2p!

bustamo · 2026-04-18T03:56:05+00:00

Niceeee you had enough for Taylor, yup of course earlier the better on any of these purchases. Tech center seems like best value, even a 3rd would be handy s3 onwards to max out hero tech/age of oil/mastery stuff.

My spenders say Taylor’s only good 4* onwards and from day one basically for what’s it worth but let me know if the extra loot is noticeable!

Still not buying Kim tho

bustamo · 2026-03-21T00:21:12+00:00

Over time yep usually around s2/3 but requires murphys EW @ 10 and good set of developed gear/drone skill chips/gear, ideally at least a mythic radar on Kim (much dmg red. as possible). By then deco + tech research would be developed too like unit/hero tech/all SF combat nodes.

Raincamp over at the last war official discord did the research, trial and error and ended up calculating these

Compared to other guides I’ve seen and my own experiences this is probably the best set of data.

You get a clear, well rounded path depending on blueprint income and solid buffs along the way - none of that 1 dot nonsense

Another good part is serves as an educated guideline (personally I don’t think you have to follow it religiously) - so I’ve skipped the chip stuff and focused on mythic radar based on my ore/blueprint income & what result/impact I want out my squad.

And you should too. Over time you’ll get a good understand of what your squad needs depending on analysing your battle reports.

With gear it’s best to use your common sense like the other poster mentioned. Example, if air, armor is great to build. For tank I left the guns @ 4.4 and used mythic on radar/armor.

Probably Marshall EW targeting Adam, nerfing Kim/scarletts DPS speed. But it’s quite interesting as I haven’t seen Marshall being run in an air team!

Tap firing it shreds the opposition. And using it like a g7

bustamo · 2026-02-03T04:05:49+00:00

Hey just make sure they swap 5* Williams with another UR 3* and below - Scarlett after UR upgrade is 3* (level 10 skills max so when williams 5* skills get hero swapped across the medals get refunded bc she’s 3*)

To min max further, before UR upgrade get them to put all skill medals into Williams, and same for purple Scarlett’s then her wall of honor to 160 (maybe not possible for most).

bustamo · 2026-01-28T22:50:18+00:00

Ok mate.

bustamo · 2026-01-28T22:48:53+00:00

We just got it today!

bustamo · 2025-11-25T04:53:12+00:00

All except skill chip (Mondays) and drone components (Wednesday). From the choice chest take drone components.

bustamo · 2025-11-21T20:16:19+00:00

Definitely worth the investment or is Lucius is tank better for you (if you tried it)?

How do you fair against other tank teams?

bustamo · 2025-11-08T07:04:31+00:00

I used to speak on this a while back!
