Last War: Survival – Troop Stats Guide & Domination Tips

Troop stats in Last War Survival affect your displayed Power, battle performance, resource-carrying capacity, and the attributes contributed to each hero. Understanding Power, Morale, Troop Load, Hero HP, Hero Attack, and Hero Defense can help you compare troop tiers and decide whether to prioritize training, research, military buildings, or squad development.

What Are Troop Stats in Last War Survival?

Each trained troop has six listed statistics. Higher troop tiers generally provide stronger values in every category.

Troop Stat	Main Function
Power	Adds to your account’s displayed total Power
Morale	Compares your squad’s strength with the enemy and can modify damage
Troop Load	Determines how many resources troops can carry
Hero HP	Adds HP to the heroes supported by the troops
Hero Attack	Adds Attack to the heroes supported by the troops
Hero Defense	Adds Defense to the heroes supported by the troops

These values are shown for an individual troop, but their practical impact depends on how many troops are included in the march. March Size, troop tier, hero development, research, gear, and military-center bonuses all contribute to the final squad statistics.

Power Explained

Power represents how much each trained troop contributes to your account’s displayed total Power. Higher-tier troops provide more Power than lower-tier troops.

For example, documented troop values list:

• Level 1 troop: 24 Power.
• Unit X or T10 troop: 1,647 Power.

Training or promoting a large number of higher-tier troops can therefore increase your total Power quickly.

However, Power should not be treated as a complete measurement of combat performance. It is an account-progression indicator rather than a direct damage statistic.

Two players with similar Power may perform very differently because of differences in:

• Hero stars and skills.
• Legendary Gear and Gear stars.
• Exclusive Weapons.
• Drone progression.
• Troop tier and March Size.
• Military research.
• Decorations and base skins.
• Vehicle-type counters.
• Squad formation and hero positioning.

Should You Train Troops Only for Power?

Training troops solely to increase displayed Power can create an account that appears stronger than it performs in battle. Troops should be trained to fill your marches, replace battle losses, and support event goals.

Upgrade your Barracks to unlock higher troop tiers and increase the number of units that can be trained in one batch.

When possible, promote lower-tier troops instead of leaving large numbers of outdated units unused. Promotion can improve troop quality while preserving part of your previous training investment.

Morale Explained

Morale is a relative battle statistic. Your squad’s Morale is compared with the enemy’s Morale, and the side with the advantage can deal additional damage.

Current community documentation describes the relationship as follows:

For every 1% that your Morale exceeds the enemy’s Morale, your squad deals approximately 1% additional damage.

The documented maximum bonus is up to 200% additional damage. However, the exact calculation may be affected by battle mode, updates, and other hidden combat rules.

What Affects Morale?

Morale is influenced by several connected systems:

• Troop tier: Higher-tier troops normally have higher Morale values.
• March Size: A larger active troop count can improve the squad’s total Morale.
• Troop losses: Losing troops during a battle may reduce the squad’s remaining Morale.
• Research: Selected technologies improve troop or squad performance.
• Survivors: Survivors that increase March Size can indirectly support total squad strength.
• Profession skills: Certain seasonal or War Leader skills may improve relevant troop statistics.
• Hero and military-center development: These systems affect the number and quality of troops brought into combat.

Why Morale Matters in Longer Battles

A squad may begin a battle with strong Morale but lose part of its advantage as troops are defeated. This is one reason durable frontline heroes and a larger March Size can affect more than survivability alone.

Keeping more troops active can help preserve your squad’s effective Morale and damage output during the later stages of a fight.

Morale is particularly relevant when two squads have similar hero strength but different troop tiers or March Sizes. A stronger Morale advantage can make the higher-tier formation perform better than its displayed Hero Power suggests.

Morale in PvE

Morale can also affect PvE combat, although it may not always be displayed clearly in the battle report. When a zombie, Doom Elite, or boss appears much stronger than your squad, insufficient troop strength and Morale may contribute to poor damage.

Do not assume that upgrading Hero Attack alone will solve every PvE problem. Troop tier, March Size, resistance systems, and other event-specific mechanics may also be limiting performance.

Troop Load Explained

Troop Load determines how many resources your soldiers can carry when gathering from the world map or plundering another player’s base.

Higher-tier troops normally have a larger individual load capacity. Documented examples include:

• Level 1 troop: 400 Troop Load.
• Unit X or T10 troop: 2,200 Troop Load.

If a march contains 1,000 Unit X troops and each troop carries 2,200 resources, its theoretical carrying capacity would be:

1,000 × 2,200 = 2,200,000 resources

The actual amount returned may still depend on the resource tile, remaining resources, march composition, gathering rules, and other account bonuses.

Troop Load Does Not Increase Gathering Speed

Troop Load and gathering speed are different statistics.

• Troop Load: Controls how much the march can carry.
• Gathering Speed: Controls how quickly the march collects resources.

A large Troop Load allows a squad to remain at a resource tile longer and return with more materials. It does not necessarily collect each resource faster.

Troop Load and the Plunder Cap

Troop Load also affects how many resources your march can carry away from another base. However, it does not remove the game’s plunder limits.

The plunder system may restrict:

• The amount available from the target.
• The amount carried by your march.
• The percentage of each resource that can be stolen.
• Your effective returns after repeated daily attacks.
• The daily plunder cap connected to your account or profession.

A march can have enough capacity to carry millions of resources and still return with less because the target or daily plunder limit prevents a larger reward.

Some War Leader profession upgrades may increase the daily plunder allowance. Review the current profession description before allocating skill points because profession effects can change between seasons.

How to Increase Troop Load

Troop Load can be improved through:

• Training higher-tier troops.
• Increasing March Size.
• Completing relevant Tech Center research.
• Developing heroes or Wall of Honor entries that provide Troop Load.
• Using profession skills that support gathering or plundering.
• Equipping temporary or permanent bonuses when available.

Loki, Gump, Ambolt, and Kane are examples of heroes whose Wall of Honor milestones can provide Troop Load for their corresponding troop types.

Hero HP Explained

The Hero HP value shown on a troop indicates how much HP that troop contributes to the heroes in the squad.

A simplified example is:

• Hero’s own HP: 50,000
• HP contributed by assigned troops: 130,000
• Combined battle HP: 180,000

The actual calculation may also include percentage bonuses from gear, research, military centers, Drone effects, decorations, skins, titles, hero skills, and other systems.

Higher Hero HP allows a unit to absorb more damage before being defeated. It is particularly important for frontline Defenders, although back-row Attackers also benefit from surviving area attacks and targeted skills.

How to Increase Hero HP From Troops

• Train or promote higher-tier troops.
• Increase the March Size of each hero.
• Upgrade the relevant Tank, Aircraft, or Missile Center.
• Complete HP-related research.
• Develop Wall of Honor HP bonuses.
• Improve troop-specific seasonal and profession systems.

Increasing March Size adds more troops to the hero’s formation, which can increase the total HP contributed by those troops.

Hero Attack Explained

Hero Attack is the amount of Attack contributed by troops to the heroes in battle.

A simplified example is:

• Hero’s own Attack: 1,200
• Attack contributed by troops: 400
• Combined Attack: 1,600

Higher Attack increases the damage potential of basic attacks, Tactic skills, and other effects that scale from the hero’s Attack statistic.

The final damage is not determined by Attack alone. It can also be affected by:

• Skill multipliers.
• Physical or Energy Damage bonuses.
• Critical Rate and Critical Damage.
• Enemy Defense and damage reduction.
• Morale.
• Vehicle-type counters.
• Formation bonuses.
• Temporary buffs and debuffs.

Attack is normally the first offensive troop statistic to prioritize for back-row damage dealers. However, increasing Attack provides limited value when the squad is defeated before its heroes can cast their important skills.

Hero Defense Explained

Hero Defense represents the Defense contributed by troops to each hero in the squad.

A simplified example is:

• Hero’s own Defense: 1,300
• Defense contributed by troops: 1,700
• Combined Defense: 3,000

Defense helps reduce incoming damage. However, the exact damage formula includes additional systems, so doubling Defense should not be assumed to reduce all damage by exactly half.

Defense works together with:

• Hero HP.
• Damage reduction.
• Energy or Physical Damage Resistance.
• Shields.
• Frontline positioning.
• Hero skills and temporary buffs.

Frontline Defenders normally receive the greatest practical value from additional HP and Defense because they absorb attacks before the back row.

Unit X Troop Stats Example

The following documented Unit X values provide an example of how one higher-tier troop contributes to a squad:

Stat	Unit X Value per Troop
Power	1,647
Morale	600
Troop Load	2,200
Hero HP	2,514
Hero Attack	20
Hero Defense	4

Important Note: Unit X is commonly used as the T10 benchmark. Later account progression can introduce additional troop systems and stronger tiers. Check the current Barracks, Armament Institute, and research interface for the highest troop tier available in your warzone.

How Troop Tier Changes Squad Performance

A higher troop tier improves more than displayed Power. It may increase all six troop statistics at the same time.

Promoting troops can therefore improve:

• Total account Power.
• Morale against lower-tier formations.
• Resource-carrying capacity.
• Hero HP.
• Hero Attack.
• Hero Defense.

This is why unlocking a new troop tier can create a noticeable improvement even when your hero lineup and gear remain unchanged.

However, avoid rushing troop-tier research while ignoring the rest of the account. A new troop tier may require expensive Barracks, Tech Center, Headquarters, Special Forces, or Armament progression.

Troop Tier or More Troops: Which Is Better?

Both troop quality and troop quantity matter.

A higher-tier troop provides stronger individual statistics. A larger March Size allows each hero to bring more troops into the battle.

Upgrade	Main Benefit
Higher troop tier	Improves the value of each individual troop
Larger March Size	Allows more troops to contribute stats to each hero
More trained troops	Ensures marches remain full and losses can be replaced

A powerful troop tier provides limited value when your Drill Ground cannot supply enough troops to fill every march. Similarly, a large troop inventory filled with outdated tiers may perform poorly against a smaller number of advanced troops.

Use the Last War Drill Ground guide to manage troop storage and keep your important formations supplied.

How to Improve Troop Stats

Upgrade the Barracks

The Barracks unlocks higher troop-training levels and increases the capacity of each training batch. Higher building levels are also required for advanced troop tiers.

Complete Military Research

Research can improve troop Attack, HP, Defense, Morale, March Size, Load, and training performance. Late troop tiers may require extensive progression through Special Forces or later research trees.

Upgrade Military Centers

The Tank Center, Aircraft Center, and Missile Center increase statistics for heroes of the corresponding vehicle type.

For example, the Tank Center supports Tank heroes, while the Missile and Aircraft Centers strengthen their respective formations.

Increase March Size

A larger March Size allows every hero to bring more troops into combat. This can increase the total HP, Attack, Defense, Morale, and Load available to the formation.

March Size can come from:

• Hero level and progression.
• Military centers.
• Research.
• VIP survivors.
• Profession skills.
• Temporary titles or events.
• Other account bonuses.

Keep Marches Full

A hero cannot receive the full contribution of a march when there are not enough available troops. Heavy losses can reduce combat strength until troops are healed or retrained.

Use the Hospital and Emergency Center to reduce permanent losses after major battles.

Which Troop Stats Matter Most?

The most important stat depends on the activity.

Activity	Important Troop Stats
PvP combat	Morale, Hero Attack, Hero HP, Hero Defense, and March Size
PvE and bosses	Hero Attack, March Size, troop tier, Morale, and activity-specific resistance
Resource gathering	Troop Load, March Size, and gathering speed
Base plundering	Troop Load, March Size, and remaining daily plunder allowance
Power growth	Power per troop and total number of trained troops
Defensive survival	Hero HP, Hero Defense, March Size, and damage-reduction effects

Do not optimize every formation for the same objective. A gathering march may prioritize Troop Load, while your main PvP squad needs balanced offensive and defensive statistics.

Why Higher Power Does Not Always Win

Troop Power is only one part of the battle. A lower-Power squad may defeat a higher-Power opponent because of:

• A favorable vehicle-type counter.
• Better hero placement.
• Stronger Tactic skills.
• More advanced Gear or Exclusive Weapons.
• A larger effective March Size.
• Higher Morale.
• Stronger damage reduction or resistance.
• Better temporary buffs.
• A formation designed to counter the opposing squad.

Use battle reports to identify why a formation lost. Compare troop tier, surviving troops, Morale, hero damage, damage taken, and skill activity rather than relying only on the total Power shown before battle.

Common Troop Stat Mistakes

• Treating Power as direct damage: Displayed Power does not determine the winner by itself.
• Ignoring Morale: Troop tier and March Size can influence damage through the Morale comparison.
• Confusing Troop Load with gathering speed: Load controls capacity, not collection speed.
• Ignoring the plunder cap: A large carrying capacity does not guarantee more resources after repeated attacks.
• Training without enough Drill Ground space: Insufficient capacity can interfere with troop management.
• Leaving marches partially empty: Missing troops reduce the statistics contributed to heroes.
• Rushing troop tiers without research balance: Heroes, gear, Drone, and military technology still matter.
• Using low-tier troops in the main march: Older troops provide weaker Morale and hero-stat contributions.
• Ignoring troop recovery: Hospital overflow can turn wounded troops into permanent losses.

Troop Stats and Account Progression

Advanced troop statistics require more than a high Barracks level. Strong accounts combine higher troop tiers with developed heroes, military research, large March Sizes, upgraded military centers, and enough Drill Ground capacity to keep every important squad full.

Players who prefer to begin with established troop progression can explore a Last War Survival account for sale through Heaven Guardian. Available listings may include advanced troop tiers, upgraded Barracks and Tech Centers, developed military research, larger March Sizes, and strong Tank, Aircraft, or Missile formations.

Each purchase includes lifetime warranty coverage and premium support for a safer purchase experience. Review the listing carefully to confirm the troop tier, total troop inventory, Drill Ground capacity, military research, Headquarters level, and strength of the main squad.

FAQs

Q: What are the six troop stats in Last War Survival?

A: The six listed statistics are Power, Morale, Troop Load, Hero HP, Hero Attack, and Hero Defense.

Q: Does troop Power increase damage directly?

A: No. Power contributes to your displayed account strength but is not a direct battle-damage multiplier.

Q: How does Morale work?

A: Your squad’s Morale is compared with the enemy’s Morale. A higher relative value can increase the damage dealt to the lower-Morale squad.

Q: Can Morale provide a 200% damage bonus?

A: Current community documentation lists an upper bonus of up to 200%. The exact result depends on the Morale difference and current combat rules.

Q: Does losing troops reduce Morale?

A: Troop losses can reduce the squad’s remaining Morale and combat effectiveness during a battle.

Q: What does Troop Load do?

A: Troop Load determines how many resources a march can carry while gathering or plundering.

Q: Does Troop Load increase gathering speed?

A: No. It increases carrying capacity. Gathering speed determines how quickly resources are collected.

Q: What is the plunder cap?

A: It is a limit that reduces or restricts the resources you can obtain through repeated attacks. It operates separately from the carrying capacity of your troops.

Q: How do troops increase Hero HP?

A: Every assigned troop contributes a listed amount of HP to the hero it supports. More troops and higher troop tiers generally provide a larger total contribution.

Q: How do I increase troop stats quickly?

A: Upgrade your Barracks, unlock higher troop tiers, complete military research, improve March Size, and upgrade the relevant military center.

Q: Is it better to train new troops or promote old troops?

A: Promote older troops when possible to improve troop quality. Continue training when you need additional units to fill marches and replace losses.

Q: Why is my squad weaker after a major battle?

A: Your march may be missing troops because they are wounded, waiting in the Hospital, stored in the Emergency Center, or permanently lost.

Q: Why can a lower-Power squad defeat a higher-Power squad?

A: Vehicle counters, Morale, hero skills, gear, Exclusive Weapons, positioning, research, and March Size can outweigh the difference in displayed Power.

Conclusion

Troop stats explain how trained units contribute to both account progression and battle performance in Last War Survival. Power increases your displayed strength, Morale can modify damage, Troop Load controls resource capacity, and troops add HP, Attack, and Defense to the heroes they support.

Develop troop tier and March Size together, keep your important formations full, and support them with military research and upgraded centers. Most importantly, evaluate combat through battle reports rather than assuming that the account with the highest displayed Power will always win.
