Last Z State Migration Guide — Score, Tiers, Passes, and Requirements
Quick Answer
State Migration first becomes available after Season 2—not after Season 1—and then returns after each following season. The event lets you move your existing account to an eligible state from the destination list shown for your server group.
Your current migration event screen is final for your Migration Score, Identity Tier, pass cost, eligible states, quotas, and deadlines. The developer does not publish the score formula. Community formulas can help you estimate, but their accuracy can change by server bracket and migration cycle.
Before moving, secure an invitation if your tier requires one, collect enough Migration Passes, leave your alliance, step down if you are President, recall all troops, and make sure your Headquarters is not in combat.
When State Migration Opens
State Migration first becomes available after Season 2—not after Season 1. It returns after every following season, but it is not permanently open.
Each server group receives its own migration window and list of eligible destination states. Your event screen is the only reliable place to check:
- when the current window opens and closes;
- which states your account can move to;
- your Migration Score and Identity Tier;
- how many Migration Passes you need;
- the remaining quota in each destination state.
A schedule from another server group may not apply to yours. Start preparing passes and destination contacts before the current season ends, then use the live countdown once the migration event appears.
The Three State Migration Phases
| Phase | What happens | What you should do |
|---|---|---|
| Prep Phase | Migration assessment, destination states, classifications, tiers, and quotas become visible. | Check your tier and pass requirement. Contact your preferred state and prepare a backup. |
| Invitation Phase | State Presidents can invite players. Medium, Advanced, and Elite players can submit Special Immigration Applications. | Confirm that the destination has reserved the correct tier slot for you. |
| Free Migration Phase | Regular players can use an open Regular slot without an invitation. Other tiers still need an invitation or approved application. | Move only after checking the remaining quota and every migration condition. |
The duration of each phase can change. Follow the timer inside your current event instead of assuming that a previous migration’s schedule will repeat.
Invitations and applications normally expire after 24 hours. An invitation temporarily occupies its tier slot until it is accepted, rejected, or expires. After a Special Immigration Application is rejected, another application can normally be sent after 20 minutes.
Migration Score, Community Formula, and Identity Tiers
Every account receives a Migration Score that places it into one of four Identity Tiers:
- Regular
- Medium
- Advanced
- Elite
Last Z does not publish the exact calculation. Community models also disagree about which power categories and weights apply, so the Migration Assessment shown in your current event is the final result.
Community Estimate from Server 134
A community regression published by JHU570 of Server 134 on December 29, 2025 used seven accounts with screenshot-backed Technology Power, Modified Vehicle Power, and Migration Scores. Its best-fit estimate was:
Estimated Migration Score ≈ 0.7184 × Technology Power + 2.2779 × Modified Vehicle Power − 5,137,698
In this model, each point of Modified Vehicle Power carries about 3.17 times the weight of a point of Technology Power.
Example: 50,000,000 Technology Power and 10,000,000 Modified Vehicle Power produces an estimated Migration Score of 53,561,302.
| Measure | PDF result |
|---|---|
| Baseline accounts | 7 |
| Accounts within ~5% | 5 |
| Excluded outliers | 2 |
| Vehicle-to-Tech weight | ~3.17× |
| Recommended use | Rough estimate |
The estimate matched five of the seven baseline accounts within about 5%. The other two accounts did not match their visible stats and were excluded as outliers. Within this small dataset, Troop Power and Hero Power did not show a stable relationship with Migration Score.
Use those results as a planning estimate, not proof that Technology Power and Modified Vehicle Power are the only inputs. The game may use hidden or historical account values, and other community models include Structure Power and Hero Power.
Why Lowering Visible Power Is Unreliable
In one controlled case from the report, a player lowered visible account stats before the Migration Assessment. The formula predicted a lower score, but the score displayed by the game remained closer to the account’s earlier, stronger state.
That supports a practical rule: do not destroy troops, remove equipment, or weaken the account just to chase a cheaper tier. It does not prove that the game always uses one exact peak-power value, but it shows that current visible power alone may not control the assessment.
Use the formula to estimate direction and compare account growth. Do not use it to promise an Identity Tier or pass cost. Tier thresholds change by server bracket and migration cycle; the live Migration Assessment is final.
Migration Pass Costs
| Identity Tier | Migration Passes |
|---|---|
| Regular | 10 |
| Medium | 15 |
| Advanced | 20 |
| Elite | 50 |
The Glory Shop sells one Migration Pass per week for 5,000 Glory Badges.
That creates a long preparation window:
- Regular: 10 weeks from the Glory Shop;
- Medium: 15 weeks;
- Advanced: 20 weeks;
- Elite: 50 weeks.
Limited paid Migration Pass packs may also appear during the event, but purchase limits can prevent a last-minute catch-up. If migration is a possibility, start buying the weekly Glory Shop pass well before the season ends.
Destination State Quotas
A standard destination state normally receives the following tier quotas:
| Identity Tier | Standard State |
|---|---|
| Regular | 60 |
| Medium | 40 |
| Advanced | 5 |
| Elite | 1 |
More restricted destinations—often shown as Flourishing or Semi-Open states—can receive tighter high-tier quotas:
| Identity Tier | Restricted State Example |
|---|---|
| Regular | 60 |
| Medium | 40 |
| Advanced | 3 |
| Elite | 0 |
State classification and quota are recalculated for each migration cycle. Always use the numbers displayed beside the destination state during your current event.
Regular and Medium capacity is much larger than Advanced and Elite capacity. A destination can therefore accept a large active group while still having no room for another whale or high-tier account.
State Migration Requirements
Before pressing the migrate button, check every condition:
- Your destination appears in the eligible state list for your server group.
- You have enough Migration Passes.
- You have an invitation or approved application if your tier requires one.
- If you are Regular and using Free Migration, an open Regular slot remains.
- Your Headquarters meets the level requirement shown by the event.
- Your Headquarters is not in combat.
- You have no outgoing troops, gatherers, reinforcements, or scouts.
- You are not the President of a state.
- You are not currently in an alliance.
- You have not already migrated during the current event round.
- You are not inside the 30-day cooldown from a previous migration.
Leave your alliance only when your invitation, passes, destination, and timing are ready. Leaving too early can cost alliance rewards or event participation if the move is delayed.
How to Choose a Destination State
Do not choose a state only because it has the highest visible power or the biggest Elite player.
Check:
- daily player activity;
- recent State vs State performance;
- cooperation between the leading alliances;
- NAP and internal attack rules;
- which alliance you will join;
- alliance event expectations;
- language and active time zone;
- whether your friends and farm accounts can also secure suitable slots;
- how leadership handles disputes and migration promises.
Contact the destination President or alliance leadership before the Invitation Phase. Confirm your expected tier, destination alliance, and whether a slot is actually reserved.
Keep a backup state ready. A promised invitation can disappear if your tier is different from the estimate, the state receives a restricted classification, or another invitation temporarily occupies the last slot.
Planning Migration as a State or Alliance
Migration works better as a state-wide intake plan than as a private list controlled by one alliance.
Managing applicants for your state? Use the State Migration Planner to track tiers, reserved slots, alliance assignments, and follow-up status in one local board.
A useful recruitment sheet should track:
- player name and current state;
- confirmed Migration Score and Identity Tier;
- preferred destination alliance;
- invitation or application status;
- language and active time zone;
- main account or farm;
- backup destination;
- person responsible for the candidate.
Allocate scarce Advanced and Elite slots deliberately, but do not ignore active Regular and Medium players. Those tiers provide most of the available intake capacity and can add more daily activity, event participation, reinforcements, and future growth than one isolated high-power account.
A candidate’s activity and fit with the destination state matter alongside raw power. A strong account that refuses state rules or expects an entire alliance to reorganize around it can create more problems than it solves.
What Happens After Migration
Your core account progress moves with you, including:
- Headquarters and building levels;
- completed research;
- heroes and hero development;
- troops;
- resources;
- speed-ups;
- inventory items and permanent account progress.
Your alliance does not move with your account. You must leave it before migrating and join or create an alliance after arriving.
State-specific roles and relationships also do not transfer. A President must step down before moving, and the destination state’s alliance placement, territory, rules, and leadership structure apply after arrival.
After a successful migration, a 30-day migration cooldown begins.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does State Migration start in Last Z?
State Migration becomes available after every season, starting after Season 2. Exact dates are different for each server group and appear in the current migration event.
How is Migration Score calculated?
The official formula is not public. A Server 134 community model estimated 0.7184 × Technology Power + 2.2779 × Modified Vehicle Power − 5,137,698 and matched five of seven baseline accounts within about 5%. Use it only as a rough estimate; the current Migration Assessment is final.
Can I lower my Migration Score by killing troops or removing equipment?
No reliable last-minute method is known. In one controlled community test, lowering visible stats before assessment did not reduce the in-game score as predicted. The game may use historical or hidden values, so do not destroy troops or strip equipment just to chase a cheaper tier.
Can a Regular player migrate without the President’s invitation?
Yes, during Free Migration, if the destination has an open Regular slot. During the Invitation Phase, an invitation or approved application is still the safer route.
Can Medium, Advanced, or Elite players use Free Migration?
They still require an invitation or approved Special Immigration Application. Free movement without presidential approval is for Regular-tier players with an available Regular slot.
Does my alliance move with me?
No. Migration moves the player account, not the alliance. You must leave your current alliance before migrating and join or create an alliance after arriving.
