The Assaulter Camp is the military building responsible for training and promoting Assaulter Units in Last Z: Survival Shooter. Upgrading the camp improves two important training stats: how many Assaulters can be trained in one batch and how quickly that training is completed. Higher camp levels also unlock stronger Assaulter tiers until the normal progression reaches Tier IX, while Tier X requires additional late-game research.
For efficient progression, the Assaulter Camp should be upgraded with a purpose. Raise it when you need a stronger Assaulter tier, more training capacity, faster production, or the building for wider shelter progression. When a new troop tier becomes available, decide whether training new units or promoting existing lower-tier troops better fits your current army and event plans.
The Assaulter Camp affects Assaulter training only. Its Training Speed bonus does not accelerate Shooter or Rider production, so each troop type needs its own camp progression.
What Is the Assaulter Camp?
The Assaulter Camp becomes available very early in Last Z and can be used to train new Assaulter Units or promote existing ones. Like other upgradeable buildings, it also contributes to your overall Base Power.
Each camp upgrade improves three main areas:
- Training Cap: Increases the number of Assaulter Units that can be trained in one queue.
- Assaulter Training Speed: Reduces the time needed to produce Assaulter troops.
- Base Power: The building contributes more power as its level rises.
The most important upgrades are the levels that unlock a new Assaulter Unit tier. Reaching one of these milestones immediately gives you access to a stronger version of the troop type.
Assaulter Camp Training Speed and Capacity
Training efficiency improves steadily as the building develops. At level 10, the camp provides a +10% Assaulter Training Speed bonus and a Training Cap of 42. By level 20, those values reach +20% and 77. At level 30, the camp reaches +30% Training Speed with a Training Cap of 105.
| Assaulter Camp Level | Training Cap | Training Speed |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 9 | +1% |
| 10 | 42 | +10% |
| 15 | 63 | +15% |
| 20 | 77 | +20% |
| 25 | 91 | +25% |
| 30 | 105 | +30% |
The larger Training Cap is particularly useful when you want to produce troops in longer batches. Meanwhile, Training Speed continues providing value every time you train or replace Assaulters.
Last Z Assaulter Unit Tiers
There are ten documented Assaulter tiers. Tiers I through IX are unlocked by reaching specific Assaulter Camp levels. Tier X works differently because it requires Unit Special Training research rather than another normal camp-level milestone.
| Tier | Assaulter Unit | Unlock Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| I | Thug | Assaulter Camp Level 1 |
| II | Axe Fighter | Assaulter Camp Level 3 |
| III | Hammer Fighter | Assaulter Camp Level 6 |
| IV | Chainsaw Fighter | Assaulter Camp Level 10 |
| V | Ghastly Warriors | Assaulter Camp Level 14 |
| VI | Brutal Warrior | Assaulter Camp Level 17 |
| VII | Pillager | Assaulter Camp Level 20 |
| VIII | Striker | Assaulter Camp Level 24 |
| IX | Destroyer | Assaulter Camp Level 27 |
| X | Invader | Unit Special Training research |
This makes levels 3, 6, 10, 14, 17, 20, 24, and 27 especially meaningful during Assaulter Camp progression. If your objective is unlocking the next troop tier, these milestones are more important than treating every individual camp level as an equal upgrade.
Assaulter Unit Stats by Tier
Each new Assaulter tier improves the unit’s combat attributes. Higher tiers provide more Power, Attack, Defense, and HP than the previous level.
| Tier | Power | Attack | Defense | HP |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| I | 160 | 5 | 7 | 50 |
| II | 330 | 10 | 10 | 60 |
| III | 490 | 13 | 13 | 72 |
| IV | 940 | 17 | 17 | 86 |
| V | 1,430 | 21 | 21 | 99 |
| VI | 2,130 | 26 | 26 | 114 |
| VII | 2,600 | 30 | 30 | 128 |
| VIII | 3,530 | 35 | 35 | 141 |
| IX | 4,340 | 40 | 40 | 148 |
| X | 5,640 | 45 | 45 | 155 |
All documented Assaulter tiers also have the same +10 Speed value. Load rises across the earlier tiers before reaching 2,000 from Tier VII onward.
When your next Assaulter Camp upgrade unlocks a stronger troop tier, prioritize reaching that milestone before spending heavily on unrelated camp upgrades. New tiers provide a direct improvement to the units you can train and promote.
Training New Assaulters vs. Promoting Old Units
The Assaulter Camp gives you two ways to strengthen your troop pool: train new units at your highest available tier or promote existing lower-tier Assaulters.
When to Train New Assaulter Units
Training new units is useful when you need to increase your total troop count. It adds fresh Assaulters to your army instead of converting troops you already own.
Prioritize new training when:
- Your available troop count is still developing.
- You need more Assaulters for formations and other military activities.
- You have already promoted most of your useful lower-tier troops.
- Your camp’s larger Training Cap allows you to maintain efficient queues.
When to Promote Assaulter Units
Promotion converts existing lower-tier Assaulters into a stronger tier. This is particularly useful after unlocking a new troop level because your older units do not need to remain permanently behind your current training standard.
Promotion can also be timed around events that reward troop development. Instead of promoting immediately after every new tier unlock, you can save some eligible troop progression for a scoring period when the same action contributes toward additional rewards.
The exact event schedule and scoring categories can change, so check the current event description before using large amounts of training speed-ups or beginning mass promotions.
Best Assaulter Camp Upgrade Strategy
The ideal upgrade pace depends on whether Assaulters are an important part of your main formation. However, several principles work well for most accounts.
1. Target Unit Unlock Levels
Know the next tier milestone before committing resources. If your camp is level 18, for example, reaching level 20 unlocks Tier VII Pillagers. That gives levels 19 and 20 a clear progression purpose.
2. Keep Training Active
Training Speed only creates value when the building is actually being used. Restart Assaulter training whenever a queue completes if your resources and troop needs allow it.
Before a long offline period, use a larger batch so the queue continues running while you are away.
3. Do Not Upgrade Solely for Base Power
The camp contributes Base Power, but power alone is not a good reason to consume resources that are needed for Headquarters, Laboratory, research, or a more important military upgrade.
Prioritize functional benefits: troop-tier unlocks, Training Speed, Training Cap, and your wider progression requirements.
4. Match Investment to Your Formation
If Assaulters are central to your strongest formation, keeping the Assaulter Camp developed becomes more valuable because you need a steady supply of your best available Assaulter tier.
If Assaulters are a secondary troop type for your account, you can still progress the building when necessary while directing more resources toward the camp associated with your primary army.
How to Increase Assaulter Training Speed
Camp level is the most direct source of Assaulter Training Speed from the building itself. Each level improves the training bonus, reaching +30% at Assaulter Camp level 30 in the documented progression.
The refugee system can add another layer. The Assault Instructor profession is assigned to the Assaulter Camp and improves Assaulter training speed.
Use an Assault Instructor
Once you have access to suitable refugees, assigning an Assault Instructor to the camp makes sense for players who consistently train Assaulters. Refugees can also be promoted to improve their bonuses further.
This is most useful when Assaulters are one of your main troop types. If your Assaulter queue is rarely active, resources spent improving its specialist refugee may have less immediate value than bonuses supporting systems you use continuously.
How Training Cap Changes Your Routine
Training Cap determines how many Assaulters can be placed into a normal training batch. As the cap increases, you can run larger queues without returning to the camp as frequently.
This has practical value for players who cannot log in constantly. A larger batch can keep troop production active during work, sleep, or other long periods away from the game.
Training Cap should therefore be viewed as an efficiency stat rather than simply another number on the building screen.
Assaulter Camp and Troop Events
Training and promotion become more efficient when normal army development overlaps with an event that rewards troop progression.
A simple approach is:
- Keep normal troop production active throughout the week.
- Save flexible training speed-ups when no urgent need exists.
- Check upcoming event objectives.
- Use larger training or promotion pushes when Assaulter development contributes to event scoring.
- Stop once additional spending no longer provides worthwhile progression or rewards.
This is particularly useful for F2P players because it produces more value from resources they were going to use anyway.
Do not leave your Assaulter Camp idle for days just to wait for an event. Keep ordinary training active and save flexible speed-ups or large promotion batches for valuable scoring windows instead.
How Tier X Assaulters Work
Tier X Invaders are different from the earlier Assaulter tiers. They are not unlocked simply by raising the Assaulter Camp to another listed milestone.
Instead, Invaders require Unit Special Training research. This makes T10 a late-game research objective as well as a troop-building objective.
Before planning for Tier X, your account therefore needs to consider Laboratory progression and the resources required for advanced research rather than focusing only on construction.
Players who are still progressing through Tiers VII, VIII, or IX should generally concentrate on the troop tier currently within reach instead of diverting large amounts of resources toward a distant T10 goal.
Common Assaulter Camp Mistakes
Leaving Training Queues Empty
A high Training Speed bonus provides no benefit while the camp is idle. Restart troop production when your current batch finishes.
Ignoring Lower-Tier Assaulters
Unlocking a new tier does not automatically upgrade the troops you already own. Use promotion when appropriate so a large portion of your army does not remain several tiers behind.
Using Every Training Speed-Up Immediately
Speed-ups are flexible resources. When there is no urgent troop shortage, saving some for troop-development events can provide additional rewards.
Assuming Camp Level Alone Unlocks T10
Tier X Invaders require Unit Special Training research. Normal Assaulter Camp progression unlocks Tiers I through IX.
Upgrading Only for Power
Building Power is useful for measuring progression, but troop unlocks and training efficiency are better reasons to prioritize the camp.
Expecting Its Bonus to Affect Other Troops
The Assaulter Camp’s Training Speed applies to Assaulter Units. Shooter and Rider training use their own military buildings.
