General Event Guidance
Applies Every Week | All Events
- Be online at start - War Frenzy activated, auto-raids disabled
- Use additional troop formations to help fill other rallies
- Join rallies from the bottom of the queue
- Turn OFF auto-join for boomer rallies
- Be online at start - auto-raids disabled
- Fend off the zombie siege and reinforce those around you
- Coordinate defense with alliance
- Goal: Capture early buildings and secure buffs - Field Hospitals, Water Refineries, nearby buildings
- These buildings provide points per minute and healing bonuses to sustain your troops early
- Spreading out early gives more points - don't send everyone to one fight
- The Canyon Captain boss spawns three times - the alliance dealing most damage gets: +50% march speed, +50% points, +40% damage
- Only send 5–8 strongest players to the boss
- Many alliances lose because everyone tunnels the boss - while they stack the boss, capture buildings
- Military bases provide +30% damage dealt and -5% damage taken - send your strongest squads here
- Returning an energy cell gives 100,000 alliance points - escort formation: 1 carrier, 4–6 escorts, 2 flankers
- Winning alliances focus on buildings, boss buffs, and energy cells - not just killing troops
- Use teleport traps - let enemy attack a building, teleport 5 players instantly, trap their squads

Buildings Guide
What Each Building Does and Why It Matters
▼
- Headquarters (HQ) - the heart of your base. Sets the max level for every other building. Upgrade this first - everything else is gated behind it
- Laboratory - unlocks and runs research. Required for almost every HQ upgrade past level 8. Always keep it busy
- City Wall - increases your base defense and troop capacity. Required for HQ progression at multiple levels
- Alliance Center - connects you to alliance features, tech donations, and help requests. Required for HQ upgrades at several levels
- Assaults Camp - trains Assaulter troops. Required at multiple HQ levels. More camps = faster training
- Shooter Camp - trains Shooter troops. Unlocks at HQ 10 and repeats through the upgrade cycle
- Rider Camp - trains Rider troops. Unlocks at HQ 11 and repeats through the upgrade cycle
- Training Ground - boosts troop training speed. Unlocks at HQ 8 - upgrade it early
- Emergency Hospital - heals wounded troops after battle. Critical for SvS - higher level = more troops saved. Unlocks at HQ 9
- Farmhouse - produces food passively. Food is the most consumed resource - keep it upgraded
- Lumber Mill - produces wood passively. Needed for most building upgrades
- Power Plant - produces electricity. Required for research and advanced upgrades
- Warehouse - protects resources from being looted during attacks. Higher level = more protected - important if you get hit often
- Military Center - boosts troop attack and defense stats. Unlocks at HQ 6 - a meaningful power increase
- Radar - expands your map visibility and scouting range. Unlocks at HQ 5. Higher level = see further
- Bookstore - provides bonus stats and passive buffs as it levels up
- Rapid Growth - reduces construction timers. Unlocked via HQ Management research - one of the best quality of life upgrades in the game
- Always upgrade HQ, Lab, and Troop Camps first - everything else follows. Don't spread resources across every building at once
- Keep your Hospital level high - troops saved in battle are troops you don't have to retrain
- The Warehouse is often overlooked - if you are being farmed, upgrading it protects a significant amount of your resources
Factions & XP Requirements
Faction counters, leveling priority & XP costs
▼
- Factions work like rock-paper-scissors - each one beats another and loses to another
- Guard of Order beats Wings of Dawn · Wings of Dawn beats Blood Rose · Blood Rose beats Guard of Order
- No single faction is the strongest - it all depends on what the enemy is running
- Before a fight, check the enemy lineup and field whichever faction counters the majority of their heroes
