Our server, 1455, maintains a NAP for the top 10 ranked alliances . The top 10 alliances may be viewed by opening the alliance window, selecting Settings in the bottom right corner, selecting Alliance List, and pressing the Alliance Rankings button.
The current top 10 ranked alliances are: TiDS, HRNY, DfWA, ROGI, RBRs, See9, Dred, Tmf2, KALA, and Camp.
NAP 10 rules include:
Please do not attack any base or tile of any member of these alliances. Violations will lead to one warning and a repeat will lead to removal from our alliance.
Do not plunder any truck, train, or secret task of anyone in our own warzone.
Maintain an orderly hive. Keep the Alliance Assembly Area organized with bases tightly aligned in straight lines.
Your understanding and cooperation in maintaining peace on our server is appreciated. Thank you.
I remove inactive players from the Alliance daily. Criteria for removal includes:
1) Inactive 1 day plus base located far from Alliance Assembly Point;
2) Inactive 3 days for everyone else.
4) Repeat violations of the NAP 10 rules including not having your base lined up straight in the hive.
If you find yourself removed from the alliance, you may rejoin once you become active again and agree to follow all the rules. I wish to maintain an active and growing Alliance.
You can view these by clicking the radio button in the bottom left corner of your screen. These are simple tasks you should perform daily to open all 5 chests and get a bonus decoration chest at the end. These can provide Drone Parts which are a rare resource that are otherwise difficult or expensive to come by.
This can be found in the Events button top right as the first tab. You get 3 chests every 4 hours and 3 bonus chests daily. You should try to open as many of them as you can every day. These chests contain valuable Skill Medals which are a rare resource for increasing the power of your heroes.
Hero Advancement
This is the easiest one especially once your HQ is 20 or above. You simply chose a hero and click upgrade. At hero level 100 it takes one upgrade to get all 3 chests.
City Building
Use your construction speed ups first to gain as many points as you can. Only complete constructions (open presents) if you run low on speed ups as you want to save completions for VS days 2 and 5. Try not to use universal speed ups unless you are close to getting the last chest.
Unit Progression
You get points here for starting and using speed ups but not for completing training. You can complete training before, during, or after.
You should have 2 barracks at your max troop level and 2 barracks at one level below that. For example, at HQ 27, have 1 barracks at level 19 that train level 6 troops, 1 barracks level 20-23 to train level 7 troops, 1 barracks at level 24-26 to train level 8 troops, and 1 barracks at level 27 to train level 9 troops. I will use these levels for the strategy below.
prepare beforehand by training troops in all 4 barracks at level 5
complete all 4 barracks to release the troops
use the level 19 barracks to promote them from 5 to 6
use speed ups to quickly complete the training and release them
use the level 20-23 barracks to promote the level 6 troops to 7
use speed ups to quickly complete the training and release them
use the level 24-26 barracks to promote the level 7 troops to 8
use speed ups to quickly complete the training and release them
use the level 27 barracks to promote the level 8 troops to 9
use speed ups to quickly complete the training and release them
repeat steps 3 through 10 until you have all 3 Arms Race chests (Save the extra level 5 troops for next arms and/or VS day 5)
finally, use all 4 barracks to train new troops to level 5
This strategy works extremely well for VS day 5 and 6, however, you would continue repeating the steps until all troops are trained in order to get all the VS chests as well.
Tech Research
Use research speed ups and complete tech research until you have all 3 chests. Planning ahead by checking when this Arms Race will come up and having your research end close to this time helps. Try not to use universal speed ups unless you are close to getting the last chest.
Drone Boost
Only use Drone Battle Data and Drone Parts when this Arms Race overlaps with VS. Otherwise, run 15 rallies to burn 300 stamina to get your chests. Save your Drone Battle Data and Drone Parts for VS Day 1.
This is a week long event beginning at midnight server time Monday and lasts till midnight server time Saturday. Each day has a series of tasks which will earn you points which in turn allow you to open chests. MVP, winning VS daily, and winning VS for the week earns additional rewards. Passively, you also earn a reward for losing though not as good.
Saving resources to use on the designated day will allow you to earn more points and thereby open more chests. Opening chests will grant you Valor Badges among other things. You spend Valor Badges in the Tech Center under the VS Alliance Duel tree and later in other Tech Center Trees. The Alliance Duel tree will increase the rate you earn points. Later you get a Special Forces tree which will increase your Hero and Troop power and defenses.
Below is an image showing the prerequisites for each HQ level. Your primary focus for construction should always be to upgrading your HQ and the prerequisites for upgrading your HQ. I recommend purchasing the second and third construction queues if you plan to play this game long term. They will greatly speed up your leveling process.
With 3 construction queues, you can level up your Tech center plus the current and next prerequisite for your HQ. For instance, when you reach HQ level 24, you can start the Tech center to 24, the Tank center to 24, and the Hospital to 24. Use speed ups during Arms Race and VS on your 2 current prerequisites but not the next one, i.e., use speed ups on Tech and Tank centers to 24 but not the Hospital 24 as you got time to level that.
Once you complete your prerequisites for HQ 25, then you can start construction on the HQ 25 and continue construction of the Hospital to 24 in preparation of reaching HQ 25. The third construction can then go to a other things until the HQ construction completes.
Beyond HQ construction, you need your gear factory at 20 so you may upgrade your gold hero gear beyond level 40.
Your iron, coin, and food vaults should only be leveled for VS and Arms Race points.
Your training centers, component factory, smelters, material workshops, iron mines, farms, and gold mines should be leveled to 20-25. Beyond that level them for AR and VS points.
First hospital needs to be leveled to 25 but the other 2 can stop at 15-20. You can increase hospital capacity better with Tech Research.
Squad pads and tavern should be leveled 15-20.
Builder’s hut is debatable but 20-25 is reasonable.
First tech center, tank center, and one drill grounds need to keep up with your HQ. Second tech center and other drill grounds should be 15-20. Aircraft and Missile centers should be leveled up when you have openings available as they strongly increase your power depending upon your squad make-up.
Alliance center needs to be leveled up to 23.
Barracks are the most complicated (See Arms Race section). The first one should be leveled up with your base for maximum level troops (for example, 27 for HQ 27). A second barracks at one troop level below maximum (continuing the same example, 26 for HQ 27). The third barracks should stop two levels below maximum troop level (23 for HQ 27). The fourth barracks should stop three levels below maximum troop level (19 for HQ 27).
When I say “First” I mean the structure with the highest level survivors. When you quick deploy, it will assign the gold and purple level survivors to the “First” one, the purple and blue to the second one, etc.
Your alert tower and recon planes only take a few seconds to level and should be kept at maximum.
As you level past HQ 20 your rss requirements skyrocket so its important to conserve them to focus on leveling your HQ.
Exceptions to the recommendations above would be to level things up for Arms Race and VS points.
In the VIP store, Drone parts are too expensive and only buy if you need a few to level up. The same with the resource chests. Otherwise I agree with the guide.
In the Alliance store, I’d recommend clearing out the top 2 rows (pick 8, 12, or 24 hour shield) and all the speed ups as your points allow. You want to level up Violet as she will become UR in Season 2.
In the Honor store I would recommend getting the decoration first then the blueprints. If you participate capitol war and warzone duel you can easily get the decoration and at least 10 blueprints.
In the Campaign store, clean out the top 3 rows then EXP chests and 1h Speed ups as needed and points allow. This gets easier as you level up.
Only craft gold UR gear. Also, only upgrade gold UR gear.
Do not waste resources on purple SSR gear crafting or upgrading.
You will need to upgrade your Gear Factory to level 20 to add stars to your level 40 gold UR gear.
In your gear factory, Dismantle all excess purple, blue, and green gear then Merge all the materials into Dielectric Ceramic. When you get 750 Ceramics craft a piece of gold UR gear.
I copied the image below from another site. The game provides recommendations to help you level up your gear. Neither is perfect but both are good guidelines.
Make sure to start getting Blueprints from the Honor Store as soon as you can. Also, the Glittering Market comes up once a month and is the best source for Mythic Blueprints, try to get at least one every time it comes up.
Honorable Campaigns will become available at HQ 16. You access it by clicking the orange badge icon on the Alert Tower. It becomes available 3 times a week at reset and will end after 48 hours.
There are 3 campaigns labeled Tank, Aircraft, and Missile. Aircraft campaigns become available after you complete level 5 Tank and Missile campaigns become available after your complete level 10 Tank.
Each level consists of 20 stages and you can only progress to the next level after completing all 20 stages. You can start a new level or start a level you have already completed. Once you start a level, you cannot change it. Also, if you start a lower level you that have already completed, even if you complete it again, you cannot progress. You can do 2 new levels or repeat only 1 lower level that you already completed per campaign reset.
For example, if in Tank campaign, you are at level 15 and start that but cannot complete it, then you are stuck there until the campaign next resets. If you complete it, then you get to do level 16 too, but that is all and you will have to wait till the campaign resets to do more Tank levels. If you find you cannot complete level 15, then you have the option to do a lower level like 14. Once again, if you cannot complete it, then you are stuck. If you do complete level 14, however, you do not get an option to complete another Tank level. Aircraft and Missile levels are each counted separately so you can still do Aircraft levels and then Missile levels following the same rules.
Each campaign, Tank, Aircraft, and Missile, is geared for that hero type. So when you do Tank, you should try to only use Tank Heroes and so forth. However, there is no restriction to do so and you may use any hero in any campaign such as Kimberly in Aircraft. Once you start a level with a certain hero, however, that hero is locked to that campaign. For example, if you use Kimberly in a Tank level, you may not use her again in Aircraft or Missile campaigns.
You get rewards for each level you complete including a chance to level up your hero one level for free up to level 100. It is random, sometimes I’ll do 20 levels and gain 3 hero levels and sometimes I’ll gain none. You gain the most rewards for completing all 20 stages so if you know you cannot complete a certain stage, it is better to do a lower level.
You should use your strongest heroes for each category even if that means mixing in some tank heroes with your squad. I find it is best to simply copy my 3 squads which are squad 1 Tank, squad 2 Aircraft, and squad 3 Missile. I use Violet in my Missile squad because she is higher level and has more stars than Elsa.
While you cannot swap heroes once they are locked to a category, you can swap gear and drone chips. For example, when my Missile team got stuck at stage 15, I moved all my UR gear to that team and also swapped the chips in my drone from Tank to Missile (the chip swapping eventually won’t be necessary once you level up your Drone’s Combat Boost). I was then able to complete all 20 stages.
If you are going to run a lower campaign level anyway, then you can swap in a lower level hero to level it up for free. For instance, if I can’t complete level 15 Missile, then I can do level 11 and swap in Elsa for Violet to give Elsa a chance to level up for free.
