Last Z Refugees Guide - Priority, Tickets, and Best Refugees to Upgrade

What Are Refugees in Last Z?

Refugees are long-term account specialists that improve specific buildings and systems. If you are deciding who to upgrade first, the key question is not rarity alone — it is which refugee gives repeatable value to your account every day.

You recruit them at the Club with Refugee Tickets, then assign them via the Dispatch button or the Talent Hub. Promotions use Refugee Fragments to improve their bonuses.

For broader diamond and long-term spending priority, see the F2P Guide.

Best Refugees to Prioritize First

Most refugee value comes from daily account efficiency, not niche bonuses. That is why community priority usually starts with Diplomats and other utility refugees before narrower role-specific picks.

1. Tier 1: Diplomats
2. Tier 2: Officer, Nurse, Scientist, Butler
3. Tier 3: Rider / Assaulter / Shooter Instructors
4. Tier 4: Metallurgist

This is a player-verified priority list based on long-term value (help cap, research, construction, and training speed).

Refugee Ticket Strategy: 500 vs 2000 vs 5000

The biggest refugee mistake is overspending tickets too early. For most players, the 500-ticket plus free refresh approach creates better long-term control unless a top-tier refugee makes deeper spending clearly worth it.

• Use 500 tickets to summon, then use the free refresh to roll new options
• 2000/5000 ticket pushes are usually reserved for top-tier refugees
• Some guides recommend spending diamonds for priority refugees; many community strategies avoid diamond spending unless you are chasing a top-tier roll

Costs scale from 500 to 2000 and 5000 tickets if you keep pushing the same pool. Choose your budget and stick to it.

Why Diplomats Are the Best Refugees

Diplomats are usually the top refugee priority because alliance help value compounds into construction, research, healing, and other daily systems. That makes them one of the strongest long-term account upgrades in the whole refugee pool.

Diplomats are assigned to the Alliance Center. They increase alliance help cap, and in-game lists also show help duration bonuses. This makes construction, research, and healing much faster through ally help.

Refugee Roles and Building Assignments

Understanding refugee roles matters because the best pick depends on where your account is bottlenecked. Some refugees improve universal daily systems, while others are much narrower and should come later.

• Diplomat: Alliance Center (alliance help cap)
• Officer: Military Center (unit cap)
• Scientist: Bookstore (research speed + free research speedup time)
• Butler: Villa (construction speed)
• Nurse: Hospital (healing speed)
• Assault/Rider/Shooter Instructor: camps (training speed)
• Metallurgist: Smelting Plant (Enhancement Alloy production)
• Community Manager: Residence (Zents production)
• Farmer/Lumberjack/Mechanic: Farmhouse/Lumberyard/Wind Turbine (resource production)
• Stamina Trainer: Training Ground (Heroic Experience production)
• Warehouse Keeper: Warehouse (resource protection)

Best Sources of Refugee Tickets

Ticket income is limited, which is why spending discipline matters. The best refugee strategy depends as much on ticket sourcing as it does on target priority.

• Fury Lord rewards
• Glory Shop (weekly 5,000 tickets when available)
• Packs as optional top-ups

For one of the main repeatable ticket sources, use the Furylord Guide.

When to Spend Refugee Tickets

Timing matters because refugee summons can overlap with Alliance Duel scoring. In most cases you want both: strong target selection and event timing when it does not force a bad roll decision.

The Alliance Duel Shelter Upgrade day includes recruiting refugees for points. If you can time your summons to that day, it boosts your score. However, if a top-tier refugee appears, many guides recommend taking it immediately.

For the daily routine that gets the most value out of these bonuses, use the Daily Checklist.
