New to Last War: Survival? This guide walks you through your first week — what to build, which heroes to invest in, and how to avoid the mistakes most new commanders make.
Start with the right foundations
Follow the campaign and main quests first; they front-load free speedups and resources.Upgrade your Command Center as1 soon as possible — most buildings are gated by its level.Join an alliance on day one. Alliance tech, rallies, and gifts are the biggest early-game accelerators.Keep your builders busy 24/7; idle builders are wasted progress.Hero investment priorities
Focus on a small core of 4-5 heroes rather than spreading XP thin.Kimberly: (Marshal) is a top PvP carry — prioritize her skill books.Pair tanks with damage dealers; survivability matters more than raw power early.Resource management
Food, oil, iron and coins are always scarce — spend them on upgrades, not luxury items.Always keep enough RSS (resources) in your backpack for the next upgrade.Rally monsters and complete daily tasks for a steady RSS income.> Pro tip: Never let your resources sit unprotected above your vault limit — you'll get farmed in war phase.
