Why this site exists
One day I saw this game advertised on Facebook, and like many others I got drawn in by the shoot em up game that fought against rows and rows of oncoming enemies. Like others, I found that the game was nothing like that, and soon learned that actually it was quite a comprehensive and complicated game.
I belong to a fabulous alliance who are all very kind and patient teachers, however, they are also very busy, and English is not always their first language. The translation system in Last War can sometimes be less than perfect, and as such I decided to build this resource mainly for me and for new players like me who don't have the time to search the thousands of resources across many platforms.
I hope it is useful.
If you have any suggestions, or find any mistakes, please let me know via the link below.
Thank you.

What this site does
Last War: Survival throws a lot at you, fast — heroes, buildings, research, events, alliances, and a wall of jargon on top of all of it. This site pulls that all together in one place, written in plain English, so you can look something up in a minute or two instead of digging through forums, Discord servers, and YouTube videos hoping someone answered your exact question.
Every fact here has been researched, and where possible cross-checked against multiple independent sources before it went on the page — and where sources genuinely disagreed, that's noted honestly rather than papered over. Nobody's perfect, so if something's wrong, the feedback link below always works.
What's included
47 pages covering the full hero roster (all 31), every building, troop tier, research tree, and recurring event system in the game, plus step-by-step guides, upgrade-cost tables, community tier lists, and a handful of calculators — all searchable in one place, with over 500 individual entries indexed.
Finding your way around
Not sure where to start? The Dashboard is built for exactly that — it's the first thing you'll see, and it's deliberately kept to just the fast-access tools rather than a wall of links:
- Search Everything — type whatever you're stuck on and it searches the whole site, not just page titles.
- Shortcuts — a dropdown of direct links to the pages people look for most.
- How To... — quick answers to specific, common questions, each with a link through to the full detail.
- FAQ & Ask a Question — browse previously answered questions, or ask your own.
"Start Here" always sits first in the menu bar at the top of every page — that's the guide worth reading if you're brand new. The rest of the menu bar covers everything else, all reachable from any page:
- Reference — just the facts: rosters, mechanics, and how every system actually works. No opinions here.
- Guides — step-by-step help on what to do, and in what order, if you're not sure where to focus.
- Advanced Data — the more detailed numbers, prerequisites, and the weekly VS schedule, for when you want to plan further ahead.
- Tier Lists & Recommendations — what the wider community reckons is best right now, always clearly labeled as opinion rather than fact.
- Calculators — quick calculators built from this site's own verified data.
- Links / Social — useful external sites and YouTube lessons.
The Site Map is handy too, if you'd rather just see everything laid out in one list.
