COMMANDER'S LOG BLOG

Welcome back, Commanders! Today, we're diving deep into two major updates that drastically impact your squad's power after Season 2 of Last War Mobile: the Age of Oil and the Gorilla Overlord. We'll also uncover critical mistakes players make and reveal strategies to maximize your power effectively.

Age of Oil: Unlocking Headquarters and Boosting Power

Post-Season 2 introduces the Age of Oil, which unlocks oil well buildings and an associated technology tree essential for progressing your base:

• Oil Wells: Needed to upgrade buildings beyond level 30.
• Technology Tree: Allows unlocking additional oil wells, a third Research Center, and Headquarters levels 31 through 35.

Progressing through headquarters 31-35 significantly boosts your squad's combat strength. For detailed minimum research and building requirements, check out our linked tutorial videos for step-by-step guidance.

Gorilla Overlord: A New Powerful Hero

The Gorilla Overlord becomes available post-Season 2 as a unique hero added to your squads after healing and bonding sufficiently with your heroes. Proper utilization can dramatically increase your squad's combat power—up to millions!

Avoiding Critical Mistakes with Gorilla Overlord Training

To optimize your Gorilla Overlord effectively, focus on two crucial areas:

Bond Rating:

• Increases synergy between Gorilla Overlord and your heroes.
• Use Bond badges progressively to enhance this bond, amplifying your squad's overall stats.

Specialized Training:

There are three main training categories: Survival (HP), Joint Attack, and Defense Support.

Recommended Upgrade Priority:

1. First: Survival (HP)
2. Second: Joint Attack
3. Third: Defense Support

Maintain balanced levels, keeping Survival and Joint Attack within five levels of each other and Defense Support within 10-15 levels of Survival.

Skill Management Strategy for Maximum Effect

Optimizing skill upgrades is critical for power boosts:

• Prioritize the tactics debuff skill (Brutal War), significantly weakening enemy defenses.
• Next, focus evenly on passive skills (Overlord's Armor and Furious Hunt).
• Finally, upgrade the auto-attack skill (Riot Shot).

Recommended skill priority for the Gorilla Overlord

Progressively unlocking skills and strategically upgrading them maximizes efficiency, ensuring significant combat advantages.

Promotion and Material Utilization

Promotion increases the Overlord's power incrementally through seven ranks, each with ten levels. Strategic timing of promotions (ideally during the Day 5 Total Mobilization event) maximizes your rewards. Obtain promotion materials such as shards, Bond badges, training books, and skill medals from:

• VIP, Alliance, and Campaign Stores
• Season 3 rewards, events, and Black Market
• Various packs and chests (Overlord Supply, Adventurer's Chest, Armor Truck)

Spending Smartly: Maximize Value on Purchases

While it's entirely possible to succeed as a free-to-play (F2P) player, accelerating the Gorilla Overlord's activation involves strategic spending:

• Gold Bricks: Buy from the official Last War Store to receive a 5% bonus and potentially avoid taxes.

Final Recommendations

• F2P Players: Use outlined strategies to steadily increase your squad's power, even if activation takes 3-4 months.
• Pay-to-Play (P2P) Players: Optimize early upgrades strategically for rapid activation and continual progression.
• Always prioritize essential real-life commitments first—spend responsibly.

We hope this guide helps you avoid common pitfalls and significantly enhances your Last War experience. Happy battling, and see you out on the battlefield!
