Legendary Gear Blueprints are advanced promotion materials used after Legendary gear reaches level 40 in Last War: Survival.
They are required to complete Stars 1 through 4. One gear piece needs 5 Blueprints for the first star, 10 for the second, 15 for the third, and 20 for the fourth. That means reaching four completed stars requires 50 Legendary Gear Blueprints in total.
The fifth star uses Mythic Gear Blueprints instead. Therefore, Legendary and Mythic Blueprints should be planned as two connected but separate stages of late-game gear progression.
For the complete gear-leveling and promotion system, including Upgrade Ore, Dielectric Ceramic, Coins, and gear priorities, see the Last War Gear Upgrade & Promotion Guide.
What Are Legendary Gear Blueprints?
Legendary Gear Blueprints are used during the star-promotion stage of Legendary equipment progression.
Before they become relevant, the gear must reach level 40 and the account must have access to Gear Promotion through the Gear Factory.
Blueprints are only one part of the promotion cost. Advanced gear progression also consumes resources such as Upgrade Ore, Dielectric Ceramic, and Coins.
Because these materials compete with other gear projects, it is better to choose the equipment you intend to keep before committing Blueprints.
How Many Legendary Gear Blueprints Do You Need?
| Completed Star | Legendary Blueprints | Cumulative Total |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Star | 5 | 5 |
| 2 Stars | 10 | 15 |
| 3 Stars | 15 | 30 |
| 4 Stars | 20 | 50 |
Therefore, one Legendary gear piece needs 50 Legendary Gear Blueprints to progress through Stars 1–4.
This total does not include the other promotion materials needed between star milestones.
What Happens After Four Stars?
Legendary Gear Blueprints stop being the main Blueprint requirement after the fourth completed star.
The fifth promotion uses Mythic Gear Blueprints. Current progression requires 10 Mythic Blueprints for that final listed stage.
Because Mythic Blueprints are considerably more limited, reaching four stars does not automatically mean you should immediately continue to the fifth.
Use the Last War Mythic Gear Blueprints Guide before committing resources to the next stage.
Legendary Gear Promotion Requirements
Blueprints do not promote a piece of gear by themselves.
The basic progression is:
- Obtain Legendary gear.
- Upgrade it to level 40.
- Unlock Gear Promotion through the Gear Factory.
- Complete the required promotion progress stages.
- Use the required Legendary Gear Blueprints to finish the star.
- Repeat the process for the next star.
Other materials can include Upgrade Ore, Dielectric Ceramic, and Coins.
The exact material requirements increase as star progression advances. Instead of duplicating the full upgrade chart here, use the Gear Upgrade & Promotion Guide for the complete progression path.
Where to Get Legendary Gear Blueprints
Legendary Gear Blueprints can come from several stores, events, and limited progression systems.
Honor Store
The Honor Store is an important recurring source of Legendary Gear Blueprints.
Honor currency is limited, so compare Blueprints with the other available rewards. Players actively developing late-game gear will usually place a high value on this Blueprint supply.
Glittering Market
Legendary Gear Blueprints can appear through Glittering Market offers.
Check the current cost and purchase limit before exchanging currency. The fact that a Blueprint is available does not automatically make every offer equally valuable.
Season 1 Black Market
The Season 1 Black Market can provide another Blueprint opportunity during the relevant seasonal progression.
This is not a permanent source for every server stage, so check the active Black Market rather than planning around old inventory.
Ammo Bonanza
Ammo Bonanza can provide advanced gear rewards, including Blueprints.
Community estimates often place major Blueprint rewards around 650–700 bullets. However, treat this only as a planning range. Event structure, reward progression, and luck can affect the actual amount required.
Before committing bullets or premium currency, read the Last War Ammo Bonanza Guide.
Special Events
Limited events can also provide Legendary Gear Blueprints through systems such as:
- Milestone rewards
- Event stores
- Ranking rewards
- Choice chests
- Seasonal rewards
- Limited exchange systems
Event availability changes, so always check the current reward preview before investing resources specifically for Blueprints.
Paid Offers
Some limited packs and gear offers may contain Legendary Gear Blueprints together with Upgrade Ore, Dielectric Ceramic, or other equipment materials.
Compare the complete package rather than looking only at the Blueprint count.

Which Gear Should Receive Legendary Blueprints First?
Blueprint priority depends on your squad, hero role, and existing equipment.
The safest approach is to use them on permanent Legendary gear assigned to heroes that will remain in your main formation.
Main Damage Dealer
Offensive gear is often a strong priority when the promotion meaningfully improves the damage output of your main attacker.
This can be particularly valuable when battles are being lost because your squad cannot eliminate targets quickly enough.
Front-Line Defender
Defensive equipment can deserve priority when your formation collapses because the front line cannot survive long enough.
Extra durability can allow the rest of the squad to use more skills and deal more total damage.
Permanent Support Hero
Support gear can also be worth promoting when survivability keeps an important hero active longer.
However, damage-dealer and front-line equipment generally deserve consideration first when those roles are still underdeveloped.
Focus One Gear Piece or Spread Blueprints?
There is no universal answer because the best strategy depends on your current gear balance.
Focus on one item when:
- The gear belongs to a permanent main-squad hero.
- The next star provides a useful improvement.
- You have enough supporting materials to complete the promotion.
- The equipment is unlikely to be replaced.
Spread your investment when:
- Several important main-squad pieces remain at very low promotion levels.
- Early promotions provide better total squad value.
- One heavily promoted item would leave the rest of the formation far behind.
The goal is not to create the highest-star item possible. The goal is to improve the performance of your strongest squad efficiently.
When Should You Save Legendary Gear Blueprints?
Saving is reasonable when you do not yet have a clear promotion target.
Consider waiting when:
- The gear may soon be replaced.
- The hero may leave your main squad.
- You lack enough Upgrade Ore or Dielectric Ceramic.
- Your Gear Factory has not unlocked promotion.
- You cannot complete the next useful star.
- An upcoming event may reward gear development.
Blueprints do not expire simply because they remain unused. Therefore, there is little reason to force them into temporary equipment.
How to Evaluate a Blueprint Purchase
Blueprint rarity alone does not make every store offer worthwhile.
Before spending currency, check:
- How many Blueprints you already own
- How many are needed for the next star
- The cost per Blueprint
- Whether the store limit resets
- Your Upgrade Ore balance
- Your Dielectric Ceramic balance
- Whether another limited item has higher priority
For example, buying the last five Blueprints needed to complete a star can provide immediate value. Buying five when you are still far from the next promotion may be less urgent.
Plan Legendary and Mythic Blueprints Together
Legendary Blueprint planning should not stop at Star 4.
If you intend to push the same gear toward its fifth star, check your Mythic Blueprint supply before using all other promotion resources.
A gear piece that reaches four stars but then waits a long time for Mythic Blueprints may not always deserve priority over another item that can reach a more efficient stopping point.
For that reason, treat Legendary and Mythic Blueprints as connected parts of the same late-game gear plan.
Common Legendary Gear Blueprint Mistakes
- Using Blueprints on gear assigned to a temporary hero.
- Ignoring Upgrade Ore, Dielectric Ceramic, and Coin requirements.
- Promoting secondary-squad gear before the main squad is established.
- Spreading Blueprints across too many incomplete projects.
- Using every Blueprint immediately instead of checking upcoming events.
- Treating the Ammo Bonanza bullet estimate as a guaranteed cost.
- Buying Blueprints while another promotion material is the real bottleneck.
- Ignoring the Gear Factory promotion requirement.
- Assuming Legendary Blueprints are used for the fifth star.
- Starting a promotion without checking whether the equipment will remain useful long term.

Conclusion
Legendary Gear Blueprints are used to promote level-40 Legendary gear through Stars 1–4 in Last War: Survival.
The requirements are 5 Blueprints for Star 1, 10 for Star 2, 15 for Star 3, and 20 for Star 4. Therefore, one gear piece needs 50 Legendary Gear Blueprints to complete the four Legendary Blueprint stages. Afterward, the fifth star uses Mythic Gear Blueprints instead.
Collect Legendary Blueprints through available stores and events, but do not spend them simply because they are rare. Choose permanent main-squad equipment, check the complete promotion cost, and decide whether focusing or spreading your investment provides the better improvement.
