To increase your VIP level in Last War Survival, you need to collect VIP Points. The main sources are the daily VIP reward, Alliance Gifts, direct purchases with Diamonds, and selected packs or event rewards. Your VIP level is permanent once earned, but the bonuses attached to that level generally require active VIP status.
There are currently 18 VIP levels. Early levels require relatively few points, but the curve becomes much steeper later: VIP 16 requires 5,000,000 cumulative points, VIP 17 requires 20,000,000, and VIP 18 requires 50,000,000.
★Quick Take: Claim your free VIP reward every day, stay in an active alliance, and treat Diamond purchases as a way to finish valuable VIP milestones rather than automatically buying points whenever you have spare currency.
How VIP Points and VIP Levels Work
VIP Points fill the progress bar toward your next VIP level. Once you reach the required cumulative total, your VIP level increases and does not normally decrease.
Three parts of the system are easy to confuse:
- VIP Points: The progression currency used to raise your VIP level.
- VIP Level: Your permanent progression tier, currently ranging from VIP 1 to VIP 18.
- VIP Activation: The temporary VIP status needed to use most privileges associated with your unlocked level.
This means reaching a new VIP level and having active VIP privileges are not the same thing. If your VIP activation expires, you keep your level and accumulated points, but the associated active bonuses may remain locked until VIP time is activated again.
For the bonuses attached to individual tiers, see the Last War VIP levels and perks guide.
How to Get VIP Points in Last War
You can increase your VIP level without relying on a single source. The fastest sustainable approach is to combine regular free rewards with the additional VIP Points generated by an active alliance and use Diamonds selectively.
1. Claim the Daily VIP Reward
The VIP screen provides a daily reward that contributes to long-term progression. Current documented rewards can reach up to 200 VIP Points per day after maintaining the required login streak.
At the maximum documented rate, 200 points per day equals 6,000 VIP Points over 30 days. That will not carry an account through the high VIP tiers quickly, but it is valuable because it costs nothing and compounds over months of play.
Make claiming the VIP reward part of your normal daily login routine. Missing days can reduce the benefit of maintaining a continuous streak.
2. Collect Alliance Gifts
Alliance Gifts are one of the most important additional sources of free VIP progression. Purchases made by alliance members can generate gifts for other members, and some of those gifts can contain VIP Points.
For that reason, players in highly active alliances can accumulate VIP Points considerably faster than players who rely only on their personal daily reward.
Alliance Gift Level and your personal VIP level are separate systems. A higher Alliance Gift Level does not directly increase your personal VIP tier, although being in an active alliance can result in more valuable alliance rewards over time.
3. Buy VIP Points With Diamonds
Diamonds can be exchanged for VIP Points directly from the VIP interface. This gives you control over when you reach the next level and is especially useful when you are only a small number of points away from a worthwhile milestone.
Before spending, compare the points remaining with the Diamonds you need for other parts of your account. Diamonds also compete with VIP activation, event purchases, stamina, shields, and other progression resources.
4. Packs and Event Rewards
Some paid packs and limited-time activities can provide VIP Points, Diamonds, or other resources that indirectly support VIP progression. Pack contents and event rewards can change, so always use the current in-game description rather than assuming an older reward table is still valid.
How to Buy VIP Points With Diamonds
The interface can move between updates, but you can access VIP through your profile and then use the control beside your VIP Point progress bar to purchase additional points.
- Open your profile and enter the VIP menu.
- Check your current VIP level and progress toward the next tier.
- Tap the button beside the VIP Point progress bar.
- Select the amount of VIP Points you want.
- Check the displayed Diamond cost.
- Confirm only after comparing the purchase with your other Diamond priorities.
Buying exactly the points needed to finish a milestone is usually easier to justify than converting a large Diamond reserve without a specific target.
For other important uses of the currency, see the best ways to spend Diamonds in Last War Survival.
!Important: VIP level and VIP activation use Diamonds for different purposes. Buying VIP Points moves you toward a permanent level; purchasing VIP time activates the privileges you have already unlocked. Budget for both instead of spending every Diamond on the progress bar.
Last War VIP Level Point Requirements
The table below shows the current documented cumulative VIP Point thresholds. The final column shows how many additional points are needed after reaching the previous level.
| VIP Level | Cumulative VIP Points | Points From Previous Level |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | — |
| 2 | 500 | 500 |
| 3 | 1,000 | 500 |
| 4 | 5,000 | 4,000 |
| 5 | 10,000 | 5,000 |
| 6 | 15,000 | 5,000 |
| 7 | 30,000 | 15,000 |
| 8 | 50,000 | 20,000 |
| 9 | 100,000 | 50,000 |
| 10 | 150,000 | 50,000 |
| 11 | 250,000 | 100,000 |
| 12 | 500,000 | 250,000 |
| 13 | 1,000,000 | 500,000 |
| 14 | 2,000,000 | 1,000,000 |
| 15 | 3,000,000 | 1,000,000 |
| 16 | 5,000,000 | 2,000,000 |
| 17 | 20,000,000 | 15,000,000 |
| 18 | 50,000,000 | 30,000,000 |
The important detail is that these numbers are cumulative. VIP 18 requires 50 million total VIP Points; you do not need another 50 million after reaching VIP 17.
The steepest jump occurs near the top of the ladder. Going from VIP 16 to VIP 17 requires 15 million additional points, while VIP 17 to VIP 18 requires another 30 million. Those tiers are therefore unrealistic short-term targets for most F2P and low-spending players.
How Many VIP Points Do You Need for the Next Level?
Subtract your current cumulative VIP Points from the requirement for your target level.
For example, if you have 32,000 total VIP Points and want to reach VIP 8 at 50,000 points:
50,000 – 32,000 = 18,000 VIP Points remaining.
Before buying those remaining points, consider how many you could collect for free first. If you are maintaining the maximum documented 200-point daily reward, every five days would contribute another 1,000 points before accounting for Alliance Gifts or other rewards.
A useful target calculation should include:
- Your current cumulative VIP Point total.
- The cumulative requirement of your target VIP level.
- Expected free points from daily claims.
- VIP Points you regularly receive from Alliance Gifts.
- The Diamond cost of the remaining gap.
- The actual benefit unlocked by reaching the target level.
How to Increase VIP Level Faster
Never Miss the Free VIP Claim
Daily consistency is the foundation of F2P VIP progression. The reward seems small compared with high-level requirements, but skipping it repeatedly can cost tens of thousands of points over a long account lifespan.
Join an Active Alliance
Alliance activity can have a major effect on VIP progression because Alliance Gifts provide another recurring source of points. An alliance with frequent purchases and active members can therefore accelerate VIP growth without requiring you personally to buy every point.
Save Diamonds for Specific VIP Targets
Instead of adding VIP Points whenever you obtain Diamonds, choose a target level first. Check the next tier’s perks, calculate the gap, and decide whether reaching it now provides more value than keeping the currency for another purpose.
Coordinate VIP Spending With Events
If an event rewards Diamond spending or another action you already plan to take, timing a VIP Point purchase around that event can improve the total value of the same resources. Do not spend solely for event points unless the underlying VIP purchase is also useful for your account.
Check the Last War Event Hub before committing a large Diamond reserve.
✓Recommendation: F2P and low-spending players should plan around reachable VIP milestones rather than treating VIP 18 as the goal. Claim free points every day, benefit from Alliance Gifts, and use Diamonds mainly when they close a meaningful gap.
Should You Spend Diamonds on VIP Points?
VIP Points are a long-term investment because your VIP level does not disappear. That makes Diamond spending easier to justify when the next level offers a benefit you expect to use regularly.
Buying VIP Points Makes More Sense When
- You are already close to the next VIP level.
- You have checked the next tier’s privileges and know why you want them.
- You have enough Diamonds left for important event and defensive needs.
- Free daily rewards would otherwise leave you waiting a long time for the milestone.
- Your account is developed enough that the next VIP tier addresses a current bottleneck.
Saving Diamonds Makes More Sense When
- You are hundreds of thousands or millions of points from your next realistic target.
- The next VIP level does not provide much value for your current priorities.
- You are short on Diamonds for VIP activation or other essential purchases.
- Alliance Gifts and daily claims are already moving you toward the target at a reasonable pace.
- You are spending only because you have Diamonds available rather than because you have a planned milestone.
VIP Strategy for F2P, Low Spenders, and Heavy Spenders
F2P Players
Free-to-play players benefit most from patience. Claim every available free VIP Point reward, stay in the strongest active alliance you can reasonably contribute to, and avoid viewing the high VIP tiers as short-term objectives.
Diamonds should be used deliberately because VIP Points compete with other account needs. A small purchase that completes an important tier can make sense; repeatedly emptying your Diamond balance into a distant VIP level usually does not.
Low and Moderate Spenders
Low spenders can combine the same free sources with VIP Points received from packs and alliance activity. This makes milestone planning even more important: calculate how much passive progress you are already receiving before paying or spending Diamonds to cover the rest.
Heavy Spenders
At higher VIP tiers, the point curve becomes extremely steep. Players pursuing VIP 16, 17, or 18 should think in terms of long-term cumulative progression rather than assuming each new tier resembles the early-game levels.
Players who would rather start with established progression can also consider an existing Last War account for sale as an optional alternative. Compare the listed VIP level alongside heroes, Headquarters progress, gear, research, server details, and other account development rather than evaluating an account by VIP alone.
Common VIP Point Mistakes
- Using an outdated VIP table: Current documented requirements rise to 50,000,000 cumulative points at VIP 18.
- Confusing cumulative and incremental points: The displayed requirement is the total needed to reach that level.
- Confusing VIP level with VIP activation: Your permanent level can remain even when your VIP privileges are not active.
- Missing daily claims: Free VIP Points become significant when accumulated for months.
- Ignoring Alliance Gifts: Alliance activity can materially improve passive VIP progression.
- Buying points without a target: Decide which VIP milestone you want before converting Diamonds.
- Forgetting other Diamond costs: Do not leave yourself without enough currency for VIP activation or other important account needs.
- Trying to rush maximum VIP: The jump from VIP 16 onward is enormous compared with the early tiers.
FAQs
How do you increase your VIP level in Last War?
Increase your VIP level by accumulating VIP Points. You can obtain them from daily VIP rewards, Alliance Gifts, Diamond purchases, and selected packs or event rewards.
How do you get VIP Points for free in Last War?
Claim the daily VIP reward and collect eligible Alliance Gifts. Current documented daily rewards can reach up to 200 VIP Points after maintaining the required login streak.
How many VIP levels are there in Last War Survival?
There are currently 18 VIP levels, beginning at VIP 1 and ending at VIP 18.
How many VIP Points are needed for VIP 18?
VIP 18 requires 50,000,000 cumulative VIP Points. The jump from VIP 17 at 20,000,000 points to VIP 18 therefore requires 30,000,000 additional points.
Does your VIP level expire?
No. Your accumulated VIP Points and VIP level are permanent progression. However, VIP privileges generally require active VIP time, which is a separate temporary status.
Is Alliance Gift Level the same as VIP level?
No. Alliance Gift Level is an alliance progression system, while VIP level belongs to your individual account. Alliance Gifts can provide VIP Points, but an Alliance Gift Level such as level 26 should not be confused with a personal VIP tier; the personal VIP system currently ends at VIP 18.
Conclusion
The best way to increase your VIP level in Last War Survival is to combine consistent daily claims, Alliance Gifts, and carefully planned Diamond spending. Pay particular attention to cumulative requirements: the progression rises from just 500 points for VIP 2 to 50 million total points for VIP 18, so later levels require much more patience and investment.
Set a realistic target, calculate the remaining points, and only spend Diamonds when the next level provides enough value for your account. For more updated strategies and progression guides, visit the Heaven Guardian Last War Survival guides.
