Start of Season 6 “Lost Rainforest” best strategy – How to prepare for the season and what to do the first days to gain a headstart in the Season?

Contents

Preparation before the Season starts

There are some things that can be done even before the Season starts, they apply more or less to all seasons.

1. There are going to be seasonal buildings that need to be leveled up, therefore skills and technologies that lower construction costs and increase construction speed are really important. Get ready making sure that you have already maxed technologies to enhance these buffs.
2. Hero return tickets   provide seasonal resources among their rewards, so you should spare them at the end of the previous season, they will be stored in the inventory in off-season periods. At the very start of the season, when seasonal resources are scarse, you can open all the tickets hoping for a huge seasonal resource drop. Once you are at a good pace in this season you should start saving the hero return tickets for the next season.
3. In Season 6 an additional SSR hero can be promoted to UR: it is Braz. So purple shards  are important items to purchase to be able to bring Braz to 5 ⭐, promote him to UR hero and further promote him in the Wall of Honor. Remember that hero promotion is also a good way to score a huge amount of Duel VS points.
4. In Season 6 the Mushroom skin base, it’s actual name is Enchanted Fungus, will have some interesting buffs and if you have that skin you should activate or consider purchasing it.
5. A lot of stamina is needed to kill world zombies and to participate to new seasonal game-plays, so spare some for the Season.

Season Store

Here a few important points you should take into consideration before using your Season medals:

• The Season Store NEVER closes, it will always be available, even during off-season, so don’t rush to use season medals and make smart decisions
• The Season Store resets the availability of the items at each Season start. So for example if you need Mythic Gear Blueprints, make sure you purchase all those available before the new Season starts

At the end of Season 5 a new base skin will be shown in the Season Store, but it will not be available until Season 6 starts. Below the images available already at week 8 of Season 5. Check out here the updated Season Store of Season 6.

Alliance technologies to prioritize

Ask your R4/5 to give priority to alliance tech “Veteran Craftsman” to have a lower building cost for seasonal buildings also regarding seasonal resources. The buff applies also to Oil and seasonal resources.

It’s also important to ensure that you have the full building speed increase through the Alliance Tech “Quick Construction”, but I would expect all alliances to already have it maxed out at Season 6.

Skills to acquire

At the beginning of a Season, given that usually there are no wars in that stage, it is highly suggested to use Engineer instead of War Leader. This also allows you to take advantage of some specific skills to lower costs and increase building and research speed.

These are the MUST have in my opinion to push your growth at the season beginning.

You should have these skills maxed out since the very beginning of the season, and you should also prepare to have them available right away when the season starts, without having to wait for their cooldowns.

The ones below are related to research, they are not fundamental in new seasons usually, but its best to have them too anyway.

First days: tips on how to gather seasonal resource

This section will be reviewed the first day of Season 6 of early server

The first days of Season 6 is a struggle because of Rainforest mushroom shortage and low virus resistance, all these activities will help you to grow faster.

Generic suggestions:

• use war fever for all the activities that use attack to increment by 1% the power (not possible at the very beginning with everyone having a shield)
• rallies: the virus resistance of the leader of the rally is applied to all participants, use this for strongholds captures.
• low virus resistance ally can request help to high virus resistance allies to kill higher level of doom elites for first kill rewards: low virus resistance ally starts rally with 1 low power hero squad and high virus resistance allies join to kill doom elite.

Purchases:

• buy right away season battle pass and weekly pass (this one will be available only once Spore Factories are unlocked)
• purchase Rainforest Mushroom packs, they are available since the very beginning of the season but only the first week and even if it says the availability is 1, actually you can purchase multiple packs, but each pack progressively doubles in cost and in spore amount (~ 5/10/20/50 $)
• if possible acquire decoration “Rock the end” as it gives boost as described in Season 6 -> Season Boost

Spore and Rainforest Mushroom:

• arrive to Season 6 start with the radar with stacked missions, so to be sure to get immediately missions with Rainforest Mushroom rewards
• IMPORTANT: In season 6, as in previous Seasons, there are no Alliance Resource Tiles of seasonal resources, so no more tricks centralizing all the resource in a single resistance leader unfortunately.
• don’t do a Doom Walker after reset the day your server receives Season 6. Wait for Season 6 to start and then kill the highest level of Doom Walker you are able to to receive a lot of Rainforest Mushroom with first kill. Do that every day, level X can reward you with Xk Rainforest Mushroom as first blood, no need to kill higher levels as they don’t give more Rainforest Mushroom than level X.
• upgrade all Spore Workshops only up to level 15 until you unlocked all of them (4 + 1 additional with weekly pass), then first all to level 16, then all to level 17, etc. Each time you reach level 15 of a Spore workshop the next one is unlocked.
• capture strongholds as soon as possible, as they provide hourly Rainforest Mushrooms to all members of alliance. Just remember to always collect the Rainforest Mushrooms, to do so go to Alliance button -> Alliance Cities -> Tab Strongholds and click on Claim all hourly.
• start killing immediately small zombies up to the level that doesn’t require curse resistance, you will obtain first kill rewards. Take into consideration that small zombies have a type (tank/missile/aircraft) and so dealt damage debuffs apply
