Last Z Glory War Guide - AC1, Score, and Point Rules

What Glory War Is For

Glory War is a Season 2 alliance PvP event built around Alliance Centers, map space, tanks, and score pressure. The fight is not just "burn everything." Player HQ attacks are blocked during the combat window, so the useful targets are Alliance Centers, Season 2 buildings, tanks, rallies, and map control.

For cross-server matchups, same-server allies can help if their Glory War windows do not overlap. For same-server pairings, both alliances should agree on match rules before the start, especially if the goal is tank-vs-tank point farming.

How Glory War Is Scored

The opponent's AC1 is the main strategic target because Alliance Center I anchors the defense and gives the direct win. If neither AC1 is destroyed before time expires, the alliance with more Glory War points wins.

That makes the plan two-layered: pressure AC1, but do not give away easy points from Season 2 buildings, tanks, or poorly defended structures when the AC1 push stalls.

Defense Setup: Deny Easy Building Points

One strong defensive tactic is to remove Season 2 buildings around AC1 before Glory War starts. If the opponent has no easy buildings to destroy near your center, they have fewer simple score targets and must commit into the reinforced Alliance Center instead.

The tradeoff is practical: your alliance must rebuild or place those buildings again later. Use this tactic only when the alliance agrees before the match. If you keep buildings up, reinforce the important ones or expect attackers to farm them for points and map space.

• Minimal-defense setup: AC1 reinforced, few or no nearby Season 2 buildings, HQs or farm accounts placed to make close teleporting harder.
• Packed-defense setup: AC1 in a corner, friendly HQs and structures around it, defenders ready to hit tanks and reinforce buildings.
• Missile risk: a missile can break a packed formation by clearing space, then a strong group can teleport into that gap and hit the center.

Attack Plan: Open Space Before the AC1 Push

Do not send everyone straight into a heavily reinforced Alliance Center unless the alliance accepts the troop cost. A cleaner attack starts by clearing nearby buildings, opening a teleport line, and forcing defenders to choose between reinforcing buildings, hitting tanks, or protecting AC1.

If your alliance has missile timing available, use it as a space opener. Missile pressure is strongest when it creates room near the center for your best group to teleport in and attack Alliance Center I directly.

Personal Rewards Without Throwing the Match

Players can earn useful personal rewards in Glory War even if the alliance loses. Use the personal reward number shown in your current event screen before deciding how hard each player should push.

For lower spenders, the safest personal scoring usually comes from destroying weak or unreinforced buildings and taking paired tank fights when the troop loss is acceptable. Attacking reinforced centers can cost thousands of troops fast.

• Bring fuel: constant building attacks burn a lot of gas/fuel.
• Watch hospital space: stop or fast-heal before full hospitals turn losses into a bigger problem.
• Use your best march carefully: repeated attacks with weaker marches are safer than feeding every formation into a reinforced center.
• Rotate roles: once offense players finish their personal target, they can return and defend while defenders go score.

Same-Server Matchups and Allied Help

If your Glory War opponent is from another server, other alliances on your server can help by hitting enemy tanks, rallies, and season buildings. That help works best when Glory War start times do not overlap.

If the paired opponent is another alliance from your own server, treat it differently. Agree before the start whether the match is a real contest or a controlled point farm. Tank-vs-tank is the cleanest way to farm points without turning the event into server conflict.

Can You Attack HQs in Glory War?

During the Glory War combat window, HQ attacks are blocked. Do not build the battle plan around burning bases.

When you are finished or the timer ends, use the return arrow instead of waiting around. Do not leave your HQ exposed on the enemy map after the event protection window ends.

Before the Match Starts

• Confirm the event screen: opponent, attacker/defender role, score table, start time, and reward thresholds.
• Decide defense setup: remove easy buildings near AC1 or commit to reinforcing them.
• Assign roles: AC1 defenders, building clearers, tank interceptors, missile callers, and return/relief timing.
• Stock fuel and healing: offensive building clearing burns fuel quickly and reinforced targets fill hospitals.
• Plan role rotation: offense scores first, then returns to defense; defenders can later go score if the match allows.
• Coordinate cross-server support windows: avoid overlapping starts if allied alliances are expected to help against another server.
• Set same-server match rules: agree on tank-vs-tank, building points, and limits before the start.

Common Mistakes

• Ignoring points after AC1 stalls: if neither AC1 falls, alliance Glory War points decide the winner.
• Leaving free buildings around AC1: attackers can farm them for score, personal rewards, and teleport space.
• Ignoring personal vs alliance score: tank fights can help personal rewards without moving alliance Glory War score the same way.
• Sending weak marches into reinforced centers: this fills hospitals fast.
• Waiting for forced return: manually return after the event so your HQ is not exposed during the post-event gap.
• Mixing up same-server and cross-server logic: cross-server matchups can use allied help; same-server pairings need agreed point rules.
