Last Z Alliance Duel Guide - Schedule and VS Plan

How the Alliance Duel Schedule Works

If you are searching for the Last Z Alliance Duel schedule, the most important rule is simple: do not spend items randomly. Save your speed-ups, materials, fragments, and training for the correct day on the Day 1–6 cycle, then stack those actions with Full Preparedness whenever possible.

The entire Alliance Duel strategy comes down to:

• Save — Don't use items randomly throughout the week
• Sync — Match your spending with Full Preparedness events
• Stop — Don't chase 6 million if you can't afford it

If you want to align Alliance Duel with the rest of the weekly cycle, use the Daily Events Schedule.

How to Sync Alliance Duel with Full Preparedness

Many players look for a VS schedule or Alliance Duel timing guide because the real value comes from syncing actions with event windows. Full Preparedness at Apocalypse Time 08:00 and 20:00 lets you score in both events at once, which is one of the easiest F2P efficiency gains on the whole weekly schedule.

Example: On Training day, do your troop training at Apocalypse Time 08:00 or 20:00 to get Alliance Duel points AND Full Preparedness rewards.

Why Alliance Recognition Matters Early

If you only remember one long-term event rule from this guide, make it this: Alliance Recognition is the research that makes future Alliance Duel weeks more valuable. It increases reward value, unlocks more chests, and improves how quickly the event pays back your badge investment. It is important for event economy, but it should still be balanced against core combat research needs.

This research does not give direct fighting power, but it:

• Doubles daily rewards — 240 badges instead of 120, 40k alloys instead of 20k
• Unlocks chests 4-9 — Access to all Alliance Duel rewards
• Gives more versatile fragments — 2 orange fragments instead of 1
• Increases score capacity — Easier to hit 6 million points

Badge Requirements

• Event Expert (Lv. 1–20): 18,210 badges
• Event King (Lv. 1–20): 142,700 badges
• Full Alliance Recognition tree: 356,770 badges

For the full badge breakdown and exact research path, use the Alliance Recognition Costs page.

Research Benefits

• Event King: +200% global score modifier
• Event Expert: +100% points
• Combined: 300% extra points when maxed

Day 1 (Monday): Mod Vehicle Boost

What gives points:

• Using golden wrenches
• Using modification blueprints
• Opening vehicle component boxes
• Opening chip chests (orange = 1 million points!)
• Radar tasks
• Rally boomers

Strategy:

• Save radar tasks from Sunday
• Open ALL component boxes and chip chests on Monday only
• Buy 15 wrenches weekly (10 VIP store + 5 Glory shop)
• Stop at 6 million — save remaining items for next week

If you want the exact Sunday-to-Monday radar timing logic, use the Radar Events Guide.

Important: Using components doesn't give points. Only OPENING boxes gives points.

Day 2 (Tuesday): Shelter Upgrade

What gives points:

• Construction upgrades
• Construction speed-ups
• Recruiting refugees (orange = 165k points with max AR research)
• Orange Bounty Missions (247k points with max AR research)

Strategy:

• Save 20-40 refresh tickets — Use ONLY on Tuesday for orange missions
• Refugee trick: Recruit once, then "Try Your Luck" to save tokens
• When orange refugee appears — DON'T reset, recruit them
• Save unfinished buildings for future upgrades
• Sync with Full Preparedness at Apocalypse Time 08:00 and 20:00

Reality check: This is one of the HARDEST days. If you can't reach 6 million, stop at 3 million. Speed-ups are scarce.

Day 3 (Wednesday): Age of Science

What gives points:

• Research speed-ups
• Tech points
• Consuming badges
• Orange intercity trade trucks (4 trucks = 1.2 million points)

Strategy:

• Use research speed-ups ONLY on Wednesday
• Use badges ONLY on Wednesday
• Complete 4 orange intercity trades = 1.2M points (easy)
• Focus on Age of Science at Apocalypse Time 08:00 and 20:00

Reality check: Another hard day. Stop at 3 million if resources are low — at least get one versatile fragment.

Day 4 (Thursday): Hero Progression

What gives points:

• Hero fragments (any color)
• Exclusive equipment fragments (orange only)
• Primary recruitment
• Power cores (equipment upgrade)
• Equipment upgrades
• Orange skill books

Strategy:

• Easiest day to score!
• Focus on orange gear upgrades first
• Upgrade main 5 heroes equipment ONLY — see Hero Tier List
• Upgrade blue/purple heroes ONLY on Thursday (for gathering speed skills)

Critical warning: Do NOT spend enhancement alloys on purple/blue equipment. Save all alloys for orange equipment only.

Where to get Power Cores: Tent event rewards (up to 250), Military shop (1,000 — only after all 5 heroes have orange equipment).

Day 5 (Friday): Holistic Growth

What gives points:

• Any speed-up (construction, research, training)
• Training/assembling/promoting units
• Radar tasks
• Season 2: Overlord items (Bond Badge, Training Certificate, Guidebook)

Strategy:

• Main focus: Training troops — check Power Guide for troop optimization
• Use training speed-ups ONLY on Friday
• Save radar tasks from Thursday
• Keep training daily, but save speed-ups for Friday

If you are unsure when radar should be saved and when it should just be claimed normally, use the Radar Events Guide.

Warning: Don't train extra troops after Saturday battle losses. You might lose them and have nothing to train next Friday.

Day 6 (Saturday): Enemy Buster

What gives points:

• Defeating enemy units
• Your units getting killed in battle
• Orange Bounty Missions
• Orange intercity trade

Strategy:

• Easiest event!
• Ask enemies for tank vs tank battles
• Or just attack and destroy
• Use Bounty refreshes carefully — orange missions still score, but TvT and enemy Headquarters attacks are usually the bigger point source.

Enemy Buster also opens the free Saturday server teleport to your Alliance Duel opponent. Use the Enemy Buster Teleport Guide before spending normal teleport items or jumping servers for farming.

Tip: If low on points, just go kill. It's the simplest solution.
