The Alliance Duel, also known as Alliance VS, is one of the most important recurring events in Last War: Survival. Two alliances compete by completing themed tasks, earning daily points, and building a higher total score across the event.
Strong performance requires more than simply spending resources. Players need to save upgrades, coordinate with alliance members, understand each daily theme, and use valuable materials only when they award the most points.
This guide explains Alliance Duel eligibility, daily themes, scoring opportunities, Enemy Buster, reward chests, ranking rewards, and the best ways to prepare for each day.
What Is the Alliance Duel Event?
Alliance Duel is a competitive event that matches two alliances against each other. Members earn points by completing designated tasks that change according to the daily theme.
At the end of each day, the alliance with the higher score earns the available Winning Points. The alliance with the most Winning Points at the end of the event wins the matchup.
Although individual contributions matter, Alliance Duel is primarily a coordination event. An alliance with better planning can often outperform a stronger but less organized opponent.
Alliance Duel Eligibility Requirements
Before participating, the alliance and its members must meet the event requirements shown on their server.
The event version covered in this guide includes the following conditions:
- Join an eligible alliance.
- Reach Headquarters level 10 or higher.
- Maintain at least 20 alliance members.
- Place among the top 32 alliances in the warzone.
Requirements may change between servers or event versions, so confirm the current rules in the event interface.
Players who still need to improve their base can review the Last War Headquarters upgrade guide.
How Alliance Duel Winning Points Work
Each event day has a specific theme and a fixed number of Winning Points. Winning Points determine the overall Alliance Duel result rather than the total raw score alone.
| Day | Theme | Winning Points |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Radar Training | 1 |
| 2 | Base Expansion | 2 |
| 3 | Age of Science | 2 |
| 4 | Train Heroes | 2 |
| 5 | Total Mobilization | 2 |
| 6 | Enemy Buster | 4 |
Enemy Buster is usually the most valuable day because it offers the highest number of Winning Points. However, ignoring the earlier days can still leave the alliance too far behind to recover.
Alliance Duel Daily Themes and Scoring
Day 1: Radar Training
Radar Training rewards activity connected to radar tasks, stamina use, gathering, and selected drone resources.
Common scoring actions include:
- Using 1 Stamina: 150 points
- Completing 1 Radar Task: 10,000 points
- Gathering resources
- Using Drone Skill Chips
Preparation tip: Save completed or nearly completed radar tasks before the day begins when the game allows them to remain available.
Avoid wasting stamina before reset if it can be used for scoring after the event day starts.
Day 2: Base Expansion
Base Expansion focuses on construction, building power, speed-ups, and selected trade activities.
Common scoring actions include:
- Using 1-minute Construction Speed-Ups: 50 points
- Increasing Building Power: 10 points per qualifying increase
- Dispatching UR Trade Trucks
Preparation tip: Begin long upgrades before the event day and time their completion after scoring opens.
Save construction speed-ups and avoid finishing major buildings on a non-construction day unless the upgrade is urgently needed.
Day 3: Age of Science
Age of Science rewards research progression, Technology Power, research speed-ups, and selected drone-component activities.
Common scoring actions include:
- Using 1-minute Research Speed-Ups: 50 points
- Increasing Technology Power: 10 points per qualifying increase
- Opening Drone Component Chests
Preparation tip: Begin high-value research in advance and save research speed-ups for this day.
The Last War Tech Center guide can help you plan research requirements and upgrade costs.
Day 4: Train Heroes
Train Heroes rewards hero recruitment, star development, skill upgrades, and exclusive weapon progression.
Common scoring actions include:
- Performing Elite Recruitment: 1,500 points per qualifying attempt
- Using Hero Shards
- Using Skill Medals
- Using Exclusive Weapon Shards
- Improving hero stars or skills
Preparation tip: Save recruitment tickets, universal shards, hero-specific shards, skill medals, and exclusive weapon materials.
Do not use every available shard automatically. Prioritize heroes in your main formation so that the event score also produces meaningful account progression.
Day 5: Total Mobilization
Total Mobilization combines several progression activities, including troop training, radar tasks, and speed-up use.
Common scoring actions include:
- Completing Radar Tasks
- Using training or general Speed-Ups
- Training units
- Completing other eligible mobilization tasks
Preparation tip: Queue long troop-training sessions before the day begins and use speed-ups after scoring opens.
For unit-training preparation, read the Last War Barracks guide.
Day 6: Enemy Buster
Enemy Buster is usually the most competitive stage. It rewards PvP activity, special tasks, Trade Trucks, and combat against the opposing alliance.
Common scoring actions include:
- Dispatching a UR Trade Truck: 100,000 points
- Completing a Legendary Secret Task: 75,000 points
- Defeating enemy units
- Taking qualifying troop losses
- Attacking rival alliance members
Preparation tip: Coordinate attack windows, protection plans, teleports, reinforcements, and hospital capacity before combat begins.
Do not attack blindly. Poorly planned battles may give the opposing alliance more points than your side earns.
Alliance Assaults and Enemy Buster Strategy
During Enemy Buster, Alliance Assaults may allow players to teleport into the opposing warzone and attack rival alliance members.
This phase creates direct PvP opportunities but also exposes players to counterattacks.
Before Teleporting
- Confirm the alliance attack plan.
- Identify safe positions and rally targets.
- Check troop strength and hospital capacity.
- Prepare shields and emergency teleports.
- Confirm that your strongest squads are available.
- Avoid carrying excessive vulnerable resources.
Inter-warzone or intra-warzone movement may require an Advanced Teleporter. The Last War Advanced Teleporter guide explains how to use this item more effectively.
Choosing Targets
Target selection is more important than the number of attacks.
Look for:
- Players with weaker defensive squads
- Exposed bases outside alliance clusters
- Targets already weakened by alliance members
- Enemy players who are actively scoring
- Targets approved by alliance leadership
Avoid repeatedly attacking heavily defended players when the expected losses are greater than the scoring benefit.
Using the Return Feature
The Return feature may allow players to leave the rival warzone and return to their own server.
Use it when:
- Your main squads are severely damaged.
- Your hospital is nearly full.
- The alliance attack window has ended.
- Enemy reinforcements make the position unsafe.
- You need to protect your base from retaliation.
How to Prepare for Alliance Duel
Strong Alliance Duel performance begins before the event starts. Players who save materials can score efficiently without spending resources on low-value actions.
Resources to Save
- Construction Speed-Ups
- Research Speed-Ups
- Training Speed-Ups
- General Speed-Ups
- Hero Shards
- Skill Medals
- Recruitment Tickets
- Exclusive Weapon Shards
- Drone Component Chests
- Drone Skill Chips
- Stamina
- Radar Tasks
- Advanced Teleporters
- Shields
Plan Upgrades Around the Correct Day
Do not complete a major upgrade simply because it is available. Match each upgrade with the day that rewards it.
- Buildings belong on Base Expansion.
- Research belongs on Age of Science.
- Hero shards and medals belong on Train Heroes.
- Troop training belongs on Total Mobilization.
- Combat resources belong on Enemy Buster.
Coordinate Minimum Scores
Alliance leadership should set realistic daily contribution targets based on member strength and available resources.
A useful plan may include:
- A minimum score for casual members
- A higher target for competitive members
- Assigned push periods
- Resource-saving reminders
- Enemy Buster attack and defense teams
How Alliance Duel Reward Chests Work
Players can earn daily Reward Chests after reaching specific personal score thresholds.
The event version described here provides nine possible chests. The first three may be available by default, while the remaining six require Alliance Duel research.
| Chest Number | Points Required |
|---|---|
| 1 | 40,000 |
| 2 | 150,000 |
| 3 | 540,000 |
| 4 | 660,000 |
| 5 | 1,000,000 |
| 6 | 2,300,000 |
| 7 | 2,600,000 |
| 8 | 3,600,000 |
| 9 | 7,200,000 |
Thresholds can change, so treat the event interface as the final source for current chest requirements.
Should You Always Chase All Nine Chests?
Not necessarily. Reaching the final chest may require spending resources that would provide more value in another event.
Before pushing further, compare:
- The remaining resources required
- The value of the next chest
- The current alliance score
- The number of Winning Points available
- Your future event plans
A controlled score can be better than emptying your inventory for a low-impact daily victory.
Alliance Duel Ranking Rewards
Ranking rewards may be distributed through daily, weekly, league, or seasonal placements.
The exact rewards depend on alliance tier, event performance, and individual contribution. Potential rewards include:
- Valor Badges
- Diamonds
- Drone Component Chests
- Upgrade Ore
- Synthetic Resin
- Resource Chests
- Speed-Ups
- Special base skins
League rewards may include temporary skins such as Aerothrill. The Aerothrill guide explains how its March Speed bonuses work.
Drone Progression During Alliance Duel
Drone-related resources appear on several Alliance Duel days. Depending on the theme, players may earn points by using Skill Chips, opening Component Chests, or improving drone systems.
Save drone materials until the relevant scoring day when possible.
Useful resources may include:
- Drone Parts
- Battle Data
- Drone Components
- Basic Chip Materials
- Premium Chip Materials
- Drone Skill Chips
The Last War Drone Parts guide explains how these materials contribute to drone development.
Common Alliance Duel Mistakes
Using Resources on the Wrong Day
Spending hero shards, speed-ups, or drone resources outside their highest-value scoring day reduces event efficiency.
Chasing Every Chest
The final chest may not justify exhausting materials needed for future events or account progression.
Ignoring Winning Point Value
A one-point day should not always receive the same resource commitment as Enemy Buster.
Fighting Without Coordination
Unplanned Enemy Buster attacks can create excessive troop losses and award easy points to the opposing alliance.
Opening Chests Too Early
Drone, resource, or hero-related chests may provide more event value when saved for the correct theme.
Upgrading Weak Secondary Heroes
Event scoring should still improve the account. Use valuable shards and medals on heroes with a realistic role in your main formations.

Which Alliance Duel day is most important?
Enemy Buster usually offers the most Winning Points. However, a successful alliance should compete consistently throughout the week.
What resources should I save for Alliance Duel?
Save Speed-Ups, Hero Shards, Skill Medals, recruitment tickets, drone resources, stamina, radar tasks, troop-training materials, teleports, and shields.
How can I maximize my Alliance Duel score?
Match upgrades with the correct daily theme, save resources in advance, follow alliance targets, and avoid spending heavily on low-value tasks.
What does Alliance Duel research do?
Alliance Duel research can unlock additional reward chests and improve the rewards available from event participation.

Rewards may include Valor Badges, Diamonds, drone materials, Upgrade Ore, Synthetic Resin, resources, Speed-Ups, and special skins.
Do I need Advanced Teleporters for Enemy Buster?
Advanced Teleporters may be required for certain warzone movements during Alliance Assaults. Confirm the event rules before the combat stage.
Should I use all my resources to win one day?
No. Consider the Winning Points available, the score difference, future event needs, and whether additional spending will change the result.
Why is teamwork important in Alliance Duel?
Daily victories depend on the combined score of alliance members. Coordinated saving, upgrade timing, and Enemy Buster planning usually produce better results than isolated spending.
Conclusion
Alliance Duel rewards planning, timing, and coordination more than uncontrolled resource spending. Each day favors a different progression system, so the best strategy is to save materials and use them only when they produce both event points and meaningful account upgrades.
Prepare construction and research in advance, save hero and drone materials, train troops on the correct day, and coordinate carefully during Enemy Buster. Most importantly, follow alliance targets rather than spending resources without a clear scoring purpose.
