Mastering the Alliance Duel Schedule in Last Z: Survival Shooter

Optimizing your approach to the Alliance Duel in Last Z: Survival Shooter is crucial for securing valuable rewards and bolstering your progress. This guide provides a detailed breakdown of each day's objectives and strategic advice to efficiently accumulate points.

Core Strategy for Alliance Duel Success

The fundamental principle for excelling in the Alliance Duel is judicious resource management. Avoid spending items haphazardly. Instead, stockpile speed-ups, materials, and fragments, deploying them only on their designated event days. Wherever possible, synchronize these actions with the 'Full Preparedness' event to earn points in both simultaneously.

Your Alliance Duel strategy boils down to three key actions:

• Save: Resist the urge to use items throughout the week.
• Sync: Align your spending with 'Full Preparedness' windows.
• Stop: Know when to halt your pursuit of the highest reward tier if resources are scarce.

Alliance Duel Daily Breakdown

Day 1: Vehicle Enhancement

What earns points:

• Using Golden Wrenches
• Applying Modification Blueprints
• Opening Vehicle Component Boxes
• Opening Chip Chests (Orange chips award 1,000,000 points!)
• Completing Radar tasks
• Defeating 'Boomer' rallies

Strategy:

• Save Radar tasks from the previous day.
• Open all component boxes and chip chests exclusively on Day 1.
• Purchase 15 wrenches each week (10 from the VIP store, 5 from the Glory shop).
• Aim for 6,000,000 points, then save remaining items for the next week.

Important: Merely using components does not grant points; only opening their boxes does.

Day 2: Shelter Progression

What earns points:

• Upgrading constructions
• Using Forging Stones and Pulse Modules for mythic equipment upgrades
• Applying construction speed-ups
• Recruiting refugees (Orange refugees yield 165,000 points with maximum Alliance Recognition research)
• Completing Orange Bounty Missions (247,000 points with maximum Alliance Recognition research)

Strategy:

• Keep 20-40 refresh tickets solely for use on Day 2's orange missions.
• For refugee recruitment, recruit once, then use "Try Your Luck" to preserve tokens. Recruit orange refugees immediately without resetting.
• Leave some buildings unfinished for future upgrades.
• Coordinate your building activities with 'Full Preparedness' events at 08:00 and 20:00 Apocalypse Time.

Reality Check: This is often a challenging day for points. If reaching 6,000,000 is difficult, target 3,000,000. Speed-ups are precious.

Day 3: Scientific Advancement

What earns points:

• Applying research speed-ups
• Accumulating Tech Points
• Consuming Badges
• Executing Orange Intercity Trade trucks (4 trucks provide 1,200,000 points)

Strategy:

• Reserve research speed-ups for Day 3.
• Use Badges only on Day 3.
• Complete 4 orange intercity trades for 1,200,000 points (an easy target).
• Focus on scientific research during 'Full Preparedness' windows at 08:00 and 20:00 Apocalypse Time.

Reality Check: Another demanding day. If resources are low, aim for 3,000,000 points to secure at least one versatile fragment.

Day 4: Hero Development

What earns points:

• Utilizing Hero Fragments (any rarity)
• Using Exclusive Equipment Fragments (orange only)
• Performing Primary Recruitment
• Applying Power Cores (for equipment upgrades)
• Upgrading equipment
• Using Orange Skill Books

Strategy:

• This is often the easiest day to score high!
• Prioritize orange gear upgrades first.
• Upgrade equipment only for your main five heroes.
• Upgrade blue/purple heroes on Day 4 exclusively for their gathering speed skills.
• Spend Enhancement Alloy and Power Cores on Day 4. Forging Stones and Pulse Modules are for Day 2.
• If you've enhanced purple gear, use it to enhance orange gear; all investment transfers.

Where to get Power Cores: Tent event rewards (up to 250), Military shop (1,000, but only after all 5 heroes have orange equipment).

Day 5: Holistic Progress

What earns points:

• Any type of speed-up (construction, research, training)
• Training, assembling, or promoting units
• Completing Radar tasks
• Season 2 Overlord items (Bond Badge, Training Certificate, Guidebook)

Strategy:

• Primary focus: Training troops.
• Use training speed-ups only on Day 5.
• Save Radar tasks from Day 4.
• Continue daily training, but hold speed-ups for Day 5.

Day 6: Enemy Elimination

What earns points:

• Defeating enemy units
• Your units being eliminated in combat
• Completing Orange Bounty Missions
• Executing Orange Intercity Trade

Strategy:

• This is generally the easiest event day!
• Coordinate with opponents for tank-versus-tank engagements.
• Alternatively, simply attack and destroy targets.
• Use Bounty refreshes wisely. While orange missions contribute, tank-versus-tank battles and headquarters attacks usually offer more points.

Day 6 also enables a free server teleport to your Alliance Duel opponent. Consult a teleport guide before using standard teleport items.

Tip: If you're low on points, engage in combat. It's the most straightforward path to points.

Alliance Recognition Research: A Long-Term Investment

Alliance Recognition research is fundamental for future Alliance Duel weeks. It doesn't directly boost combat power but significantly enhances event value by:

• Doubling daily rewards: 240 badges and 40,000 alloys instead of 120 and 20,000.
• Unlocking Chests 4-9: Grants access to all potential rewards.
• Providing more versatile fragments: Two orange fragments instead of one.
• Increasing score capacity: Makes hitting the 6,000,000-point mark easier.

Badge Requirements:

• Event Expert (Lv. 1–20): 18,210 Badges
• Event King (Lv. 1–20): 142,700 Badges
• Full Alliance Recognition Tree: 360,350 Badges

Research Benefits:

• Event King: +200% global score modifier
• Event Expert: +100% points
• Combined: 300% additional points when fully researched.

Setting Your Chest Target

Before spending any resources, identify the highest reward chest you can realistically achieve without depleting supplies needed for later days. Aim for this target rather than automatically pursuing the 6,000,000-point maximum.

To calculate required actions, use this formula:

Actions needed = round up((target score − current score) ÷ points per action)

For instance, if you need 120,000 more points, and each action yields 5,000, you'd need 24 actions.

Quick Tips

• Always verify the live task: If the in-game task differs from the usual schedule, prioritize the live task.
• Conserve for tough days: Day 2 (Building) and Day 3 (Research) are often the most demanding. Reserve speed-ups and badges.
• Sync with Full Preparedness: Perform actions during 08:00 and 20:00 Apocalypse Time 'Full Preparedness' windows for double points.
• Set a realistic chest goal: Don't overspend chasing the highest tier if it risks your week's overall progress.
• Check the reward screen: Before a major push, confirm the current reward structure and your alliance's timing.
• Spend strategically: Only use saved items when the current scoring task matches their type.
