Premium Chip Material in Last War: Survival is used to craft Legendary Skill Chips for your drone. These high-rarity chips can improve combat performance, but collecting the 800 materials required for one craft may take considerable time.
Fortunately, Premium Chip Material can come from alliance activities, stores, Skill Chip Chests, professions, special events, and paid packs. This guide explains the main sources, chest rewards, and how to spend the material efficiently.
What Is Premium Chip Material?
Premium Chip Material is a drone-crafting resource used in the Chip Lab. Its main purpose is to create Legendary Skill Chips.
According to the supplied article, crafting one Legendary Skill Chip requires:
- 800 Premium Chip Materials
Legendary chips may provide stronger effects than lower-rarity options, but rarity alone does not determine whether a chip is useful for your squad. The skill, activation conditions, and compatibility with your formation remain important.
Before crafting, review the Last War Drone Chip priority guide to compare chip effects and decide which upgrade deserves your resources.
Where to Get Premium Chip Material
Premium Chip Material can be obtained from several activities and reward systems. Availability may vary by server progression, event schedule, profession, and game updates.
Alliance Duel Chests
The supplied article lists the third, sixth, and ninth Alliance Duel Chests as possible sources. Reaching these milestones may provide Skill Chip Chests or related drone rewards.
Because Alliance Duel progression depends on coordinated activity, active alliances generally have a better chance of unlocking the higher reward tiers.
For help planning points and participation, review the Last War Alliance Duel guide.
Skill Chip Chests
Skill Chip Chests can provide a random chip based on the chest rarity, along with a set amount of Premium Chip Material.
Higher-rarity chests provide more material, making them valuable for players saving toward a Legendary craft.
Alliance Store
The Alliance Store may offer Rare Skill Chip Chests. Compare the cost with other limited items before spending alliance currency.
VIP Store
Rare Skill Chip Chests may also appear in the VIP Store. The purchase is more useful when Premium Chip Material is your current drone bottleneck.
Honor Store
The Honor Store may offer Legendary Skill Chip Chests. These can provide a larger amount of Premium Chip Material than lower-rarity chests.
Campaign Store
Common Skill Chip Chests may be available in the Campaign Store. Each chest provides only a small amount of material, but repeated purchases can contribute to long-term progress.
Zombie Invasion Trade Store
Rare or Epic Skill Chip Chests may appear during Zombie Invasion. Check the trade store before spending event currency on less important rewards.
Engineer Profession
The Drone Supply skill from the Engineer profession may provide Common Skill Chip Chests. Although each chest gives a limited amount of Premium Chip Material, consistent collection can still add value.
Alliance Exercise
The supplied article lists Rare and Epic Skill Chip Chests at Alliance Exercise levels 11 and 12. Confirm the current reward table because event milestones may change.
Ghost Ops
Ghost Ops may provide Rare, Epic, or Legendary Skill Chip Chests. Since rewards can depend on chance, treat this as a supplementary source rather than your only farming method.
Special Events
Limited-time events may offer Premium Chip Material directly or through Skill Chip Chests, event stores, milestone rewards, and rankings.
Paid Packs
Premium Chip Material may also be included in paid offers. Compare the number of materials, included chests, price, and remaining amount needed before purchasing.
Premium Chip Material From Skill Chip Chests
The supplied article lists the following Premium Chip Material amounts for each chest rarity:
| Skill Chip Chest | Premium Chip Material |
|---|---|
| Legendary Skill Chip Chest | 100 |
| Epic Skill Chip Chest | 30 |
| Rare Skill Chip Chest | 5 |
| Common Skill Chip Chest | 1 |
Note: Confirm these values in the current chest description before publishing or planning an exact total. Event rewards and chest contents may change.
How Many Chests Are Needed for One Legendary Chip?
If one Legendary Skill Chip requires 800 Premium Chip Materials, the number of chests needed depends on their rarity.
| Chest Type | Material per Chest | Approximate Chests Needed for 800 |
|---|---|---|
| Legendary | 100 | 8 |
| Epic | 30 | 27 |
| Rare | 5 | 160 |
| Common | 1 | 800 |
The Epic estimate is rounded up because 26 chests would only provide 780 materials. In practice, players usually combine several chest rarities rather than depending on one source.
How Skill Chip Chests Work
Opening a Skill Chip Chest may provide two forms of value:
- A random Drone Chip based on the chest rarity
- A fixed amount of Premium Chip Material
This means even an unwanted chip may still contribute materials toward a future Legendary craft.
However, do not judge a chest only by its material value. The random chip itself may be useful for your current build, a secondary setup, enhancement, or another drone progression system.
Premium vs. Basic Chip Material
Premium Chip Material and Basic Chip Material support different chip rarities.
| Material | Main Use | Chip Rarity | Listed Crafting Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic Chip Material | Crafting Epic Skill Chips | Epic | 400 or 800 depending on chip |
| Premium Chip Material | Crafting Legendary Skill Chips | Legendary | 800 |
The two materials should be managed separately. Collecting enough Premium Chip Material does not remove the value of Epic chips, especially when they offer useful effects or support secondary setups.

Which Legendary Chip Should You Craft First?
Because one Legendary craft requires a large amount of material, choosing the wrong chip can delay your drone progression significantly.
Before crafting, consider:
- Whether the skill supports your main formation
- Whether it improves damage, defense, or utility
- How often the skill activates
- Whether you already own a similar chip
- Whether the chip remains useful after future upgrades
- Whether another chip solves a more important weakness
A Legendary chip is not automatically the best choice simply because it has the highest rarity. Skill relevance should remain the priority.
How to Use Premium Chip Material Efficiently
Choose a Target Before Farming
Identify the Legendary chip you want before spending store or event currency. This gives your farming plan a clear objective.
Track Progress Toward 800 Materials
Knowing your current total helps you decide whether an event chest, store purchase, or paid pack will complete the craft or only make a small contribution.
Prioritize Higher-Rarity Chests
Legendary and Epic chests provide much more material than Common or Rare chests. However, their acquisition cost may also be much higher.
Compare Store Currency Value
Do not buy every Skill Chip Chest automatically. Hero shards, gear materials, Drone Parts, or other limited items may provide more immediate value.
Coordinate With Events
Open or earn chests during events that reward drone development when possible. This can provide additional value from the same activity.
Maintain a Small Reserve
Keeping some material unspent allows you to respond if a new chip or better crafting option becomes available.
When Are Paid Packs Worth Considering?
A paid offer may provide reasonable value when it completes a meaningful Legendary craft or includes several useful drone resources.
Before purchasing, check:
- How many Premium Chip Materials are included
- Whether Skill Chip Chests are included
- How close you are to 800 materials
- Whether the target chip improves your main squad
- Whether another drone resource will still block progression
- Whether the same materials are available from an upcoming event
A pack that leaves you far from the crafting requirement may provide less immediate value than it first appears.
Common Premium Chip Material Mistakes
Crafting Without Comparing Chips
Spending 800 materials on a poorly matched skill can delay a more valuable Legendary chip for weeks or months.
Ignoring Alliance Activities
Alliance Duel, Alliance Exercise, and store rewards may provide recurring access to Skill Chip Chests.
Buying Every Common Chest
Common chests provide only one Premium Chip Material according to the supplied table. Compare the store cost carefully.
Opening Chests Without Checking Events
An event may reward chest opening, drone upgrades, or chip progression. Check the schedule before using a large stockpile.
Focusing Only on Legendary Rarity
A useful Epic chip may still outperform a Legendary chip that does not support your squad or strategy.
Buying Packs Without Calculating the Gap
Always calculate how many materials remain before the next craft. A small pack may not provide an immediate upgrade.
How Premium Chip Material Fits Into Drone Progression
Legendary chip crafting is only one part of a complete drone development plan.
Players must also manage:
- Battle Data
- Drone Parts
- Drone Components
- Basic Chip Material
- Chip enhancement
- Chip selection and synergy
- Event and store currency
The Last War Chip Lab guide explains how chip crafting fits into the wider drone system.

Conclusion

Choose a target chip before spending, compare chest and store value carefully, and prioritize skills that support your main squad. Legendary rarity provides little value when the selected chip does not fit your formation or combat strategy.
Creating an advanced Legendary chip setup requires hundreds of Premium Chip Materials, repeated alliance participation, store currency, event rewards, and progression across several connected drone systems.
