Last Z Alliance Duel Guide — Day-by-Day F2P Strategy

Save Resources, Spend on Right Days

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

Full Preparedness Sync

Full Preparedness events run at system time 8 and system time 20 (Echoplus time). During these windows, you score points in BOTH events simultaneously.

Example: On Training day, do your troop training at system time 8 or 20 to get Alliance Duel points AND Full Preparedness rewards.

Why Alliance Recognition First

This is the most important research in the game for F2P players. It doesn't give fighting power, but it:

• Doubles daily rewards — 240 badges instead of 120, 40k alloys instead of 20k
• Unlocks chests 7-9 — 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 King research: ~143,500 badges total
• Event Expert: Additional 22-44k badges
• Full max: 175-200k badges total

The investment pays off: Once maxed, you earn 8,000+ badges per week from Alliance Duel alone.

Research Benefits

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

Day 1 (Monday): Modded 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

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)
• Orange bounty missions (247k points each)

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 system time 8 and 20

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 system time 8 and 20

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

Day 4 (Thursday): Hero Initiative

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
• 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

Strategy:

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

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 wanted missions
• Orange intercity trade

Strategy:

• Easiest event!
• Ask enemies for tank vs tank battles
• Or just attack and destroy
• AVOID using bounty refresh tickets — save them for Tuesday

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