The Last War Doomsday Event is a recurring server-wide PvE event centered on hunting and defeating Doom Walkers. Compared with normal Doom Walker activity, Doomsday fills the map with more targets, provides additional first-kill opportunities, adds server-wide achievement rewards, and tracks player damage for a separate ranking.
Doomsday commonly runs every two weeks on Sunday. During the event, Doom Walkers cycle onto the map roughly every four hours, and popular levels can disappear quickly after a fresh wave appears. The practical strategy is to watch the event timer, coordinate rallies with your alliance, secure your three eligible first-kill rewards, and continue participating if you want achievement progress or damage-ranking rewards.
Doomsday is mainly about efficient Doom Walker rallies. Secure the three available first-kill rewards, help your warzone complete server-wide achievements, and then decide whether additional stamina is worth spending for damage ranking or seasonal Doom Walker rewards.
How the Doomsday Event Works
Doomsday temporarily increases Doom Walker activity across the warzone. Players with a Base Level of at least 8 can participate.
The event revolves around three reward systems:
| Reward Type | How It Works |
|---|---|
| First-Kill Rewards | Doomsday allows the Doom Walker first-kill reward to be claimed up to three times during the event. |
| Warzone Achievements | Progress is driven by server-wide Doom Walker activity, allowing qualifying players to claim milestone rewards. |
| Damage Ranking | Total qualifying damage dealt to Doom Walkers contributes toward the event ranking, with rewards distributed after the event. |
This makes Doomsday useful even if you do not intend to compete for a high rank. Securing the first-kill rewards and benefiting from warzone achievement progress provides a reason for most active players to participate.
Doom Walker Spawn and Reset Schedule
Doom Walkers appear in concentrated waves during Doomsday. Under the standard schedule, a new cycle occurs roughly every four hours.
The event interface lists available Doom Walkers and includes a countdown toward the next reset. Selecting a Walker from that list takes you to its map location so you can prepare a rally.
Fresh spawns can disappear quickly on active servers. If the only remaining Doom Walkers are above the level your alliance can comfortably defeat, waiting for the next reset can bring another selection of targets onto the map.
Check the Doomsday page shortly before a four-hour refresh and be ready when the new Doom Walkers appear. On busy servers, suitable targets can be defeated within minutes of spawning.
How to Fight a Doom Walker
Doom Walkers are rally targets rather than ordinary solo zombies. To attack one, select it on the World Map and create a rally so alliance members can contribute troops.
Starting a Rally
Starting a normal Doom Walker rally costs 20 stamina. The rally leader should use a strong PvE formation and select a Walker the group can realistically defeat.
Higher-level Doom Walkers are not useful if the rally repeatedly fails. For first-kill rewards, completing a reliable kill is more important than choosing a target simply because its level is higher.
Joining a Rally
Joining another Commander’s Doom Walker rally does not require the stamina cost associated with launching the rally yourself. This makes alliance rally participation particularly efficient for players trying to complete Doom Walker objectives without burning through their stamina reserves.
If several alliance members are already launching suitable rallies, fill those rallies before creating unnecessary additional ones.
Best Doomsday Stamina Strategy
How much stamina you should spend depends on your goal.
For Basic Rewards
Focus first on securing the event’s three available first-kill rewards. Join existing rallies whenever possible and avoid spending stamina just to create another rally when your alliance already has suitable targets underway.
For Damage Ranking
Players chasing ranking rewards need more active combat participation because the leaderboard is based on damage dealt to Doom Walkers. Use your strongest developed PvE formation and remain active around fresh spawn windows so you have more opportunities to attack.
For Seasonal Resources
Doom Walkers can become particularly important during seasons because their first-kill rewards may include scarce seasonal resources. The resource depends on the active season. For example, later seasonal systems can attach resources such as Mutant Crystals, Coal, Mithril, or other season-specific materials to Doom Walker progression.
Because server progression changes which Doom Walker levels and seasonal rewards are available, check the current first-kill preview before spending stamina.
Which Doom Walker Level Should You Fight?
The best target depends on your server stage and alliance strength.
As servers progress through seasons and off-seasons, additional Doom Walker levels can unlock. This means an older server may have substantially higher targets available than a younger server.
A practical target-selection rule is:
- Choose a level your rally can reliably defeat.
- Check the reward preview. Seasonal first-kill rewards can make higher levels more valuable.
- Avoid repeated failed rallies. Higher theoretical rewards do not compensate for wasted attempts.
- Use the next refresh if necessary. You do not need to force a fight against the only high-level Walker remaining on the map.
Doomsday First-Kill Rewards
One of the biggest differences between Doomsday and ordinary Doom Walker hunting is the first-kill system. During the event, the Doom Walker first-kill reward can be collected up to three times.
The exact reward contents depend on server progression and the systems currently active on your server. Doom Walker rewards can include normal progression materials as well as season-specific resources when a season is underway.
For most players, completing these three reward opportunities should come before spending heavily on leaderboard competition.
Server-Wide Doomsday Achievements
Doomsday also tracks warzone-wide achievements. These objectives advance through activity performed across the entire server rather than depending only on your personal Doom Walker kills.
Achievement categories include objectives connected to:
- First defeats of Doom Walkers at different levels.
- The total number of Doom Walkers defeated across the warzone.
- Participation in Doom Walker battles.
Because progress is shared, highly active alliances indirectly benefit other eligible Commanders by pushing the server toward additional achievement milestones.
Check the event page throughout the day rather than assuming you have collected everything after your personal first-kill attempts. New server-wide achievement rewards can unlock later as other players continue hunting.
Doomsday Damage Ranking
The event also creates an individual ranking based on qualifying damage inflicted on Doom Walkers. Ranking rewards are distributed after Doomsday ends.
If ranking is your objective, prioritize:
- Your strongest developed PvE squad.
- Fresh Doom Walker spawn windows.
- Reliable targets your alliance can defeat consistently.
- Enough stamina to participate throughout the event.
- Active alliance members who can quickly fill rallies.
Ranking competition can vary dramatically between servers. A stamina investment that produces a strong placement on one server may accomplish little on a highly competitive warzone, so check the live standings before consuming a large reserve.
Can Doom Walkers Attack Your Base During Doomsday?
Yes. The Doomsday rules allow Doom Walkers to attack Commander bases during the event, so you may see NPC activity around player Headquarters in addition to player-led rallies against Walkers.
These attacks use special event rules and should not be confused with normal player-versus-player combat. The event also reduces the danger associated with Doom Walker base attacks compared with ordinary hostile PvP.
Do not rely on a shield to prevent PvE event activity. Shields protect against hostile player actions, while NPC actions such as Doom Walker encounters operate separately.
A shield does not turn off NPC Doom Walker activity. Doomsday is a PvE warzone event, so prepare your formations normally instead of assuming a PvP shield removes every event interaction.
Doomsday and Radar Missions
Doom Walker objectives can also appear through Radar Missions once your Radar has progressed far enough.
A Radar Doom Walker mission can be completed by participating in a qualifying Doom Walker rally. You do not necessarily need to be the rally leader, which creates an efficient opportunity during Doomsday when many rallies are already active.
If the Radar objective is waiting, joining an alliance rally can complete it without requiring you to spend the stamina needed to start one yourself.
Doomsday and Arms Race
Doom Walker rally leadership consumes stamina, so the event can overlap usefully with the Drone Boost phase of Arms Race when that phase rewards stamina expenditure.
If the timing aligns, launching Doom Walker rallies during Drone Boost can simultaneously:
- Progress Doomsday objectives.
- Earn Doom Walker rewards.
- Spend stamina for Arms Race scoring.
- Complete eligible Radar objectives.
Do not force the overlap if it means missing scarce Doomsday targets. Doom Walkers may disappear quickly after a refresh, whereas Arms Race runs through repeating phases.
Best Doomsday Alliance Strategy
Prepare Before the Reset
Have alliance members online before a fresh Doom Walker cycle rather than reacting after the best targets have already been defeated.
Use Multiple Reliable Rally Leaders
Strong rally leaders should target Doom Walkers the alliance can consistently clear. This produces more successful participation opportunities than repeatedly attempting a Walker that is beyond the group’s current strength.
Fill Existing Rallies First
Launching too many rallies at once can leave several of them underfilled. Check the alliance rally screen and help complete existing groups before opening another target.
If members are trying to complete their first-kill rewards or seasonal Doom Walker progression, communicate when appropriate levels appear after a reset.
Best Doomsday Routine
- Check the event page and next Doom Walker reset.
- Prepare your best PvE formation before the new wave appears.
- Locate a suitable Doom Walker through the event interface.
- Join existing alliance rallies when possible.
- Secure all three available first-kill rewards.
- Claim newly unlocked warzone achievement rewards throughout the event.
- Continue attacking only if ranking or additional Doom Walker farming is worthwhile.
- During seasons, prioritize valuable first-kill seasonal resources.
- Use the next four-hour refresh if remaining targets are unsuitable.
Common Doomsday Mistakes
- Logging in long after a Doom Walker reset: Popular targets can disappear quickly.
- Missing the three first-kill rewards: These are among the easiest reasons to participate in the event.
- Launching every rally yourself: Joining alliance rallies preserves stamina.
- Choosing Doom Walkers that are too strong: Failed rallies waste time and opportunities.
- Ignoring the reward preview: Seasonal first-kill materials can make Doom Walker selection more important.
- Claiming rewards once and forgetting the event: Server-wide achievement milestones can continue unlocking later.
- Chasing ranking without checking standings: Competition varies heavily between warzones.
- Assuming shields stop NPC activity: Doomsday Doom Walkers are PvE enemies, not hostile player attacks.
- Ignoring Radar objectives: A Doom Walker rally can also complete an eligible Radar Mission.

What Base Level is required for Doomsday?
You need a Base Level of at least 8 to participate under the standard event rules.
How often do Doom Walkers respawn during Doomsday?
Doom Walker availability refreshes roughly every four hours during the event. The Doomsday screen shows the countdown toward the next reset.
How many Doomsday first-kill rewards can I get?
The Doom Walker first-kill reward can be claimed up to three times during the event.
Do I need to start a Doom Walker rally myself?
No. You can join another alliance member’s Doom Walker rally. Joining is useful for saving stamina and can also satisfy eligible Radar Mission objectives.
How much stamina does a Doom Walker rally cost?
Starting a standard Doom Walker rally costs 20 stamina. Joining someone else’s qualifying rally does not require the leader’s launch cost.
What happens if all suitable Doom Walkers are gone?
Check the reset countdown on the Doomsday page. A new wave of Doom Walkers will become available when the next cycle begins.
Do Doomsday rewards depend on the whole server?
Some do. Warzone achievement rewards progress through Doom Walker activity performed across the server, while first-kill rewards and damage-ranking performance are tied more directly to your own participation.
Should I chase the Doomsday damage ranking?
Only after securing the rewards you consider important. Ranking is based on Doom Walker damage and can require substantial activity and stamina on competitive servers.
Are Doom Walkers more important during seasons?
They can be. Seasonal systems may attach scarce season resources to Doom Walker first-kill rewards, making the daily or event first kill particularly useful. The exact resource and available Walker levels depend on your server’s progression.
Conclusion
The Last War Doomsday Event is best approached as a coordinated Doom Walker farming day. Watch the four-hour spawn cycle, join alliance rallies quickly, and make securing all three first-kill rewards your first priority.
After that, continue participating when server achievements, seasonal resources, Radar objectives, or damage-ranking rewards justify the extra stamina. Strong alliance coordination matters because fresh Doom Walkers can disappear quickly, while well-organized rallies let more members complete their objectives without everyone paying to launch separate attacks.
