The Story

Teaser

Dear Commanders, Season III: Golden Kingdom is about to begin! Gather your allies and embark on this fiery and dangerous journey!

This time, our journey will take us deep into the mysterious desert hinterland, the home of pyramids and pharaohs, but also hiding millennia-old curses and secrets. On this desolate yet mysterious land, the scorching sun bakes, the yellow sand fills the sky, and the cold of the night is bone-chilling and profound. What’s even more chilling is that giant sandworms are lurking in the depths of the desert, and the ancient mummy legion is waiting to awaken!

During the season, the desert overlord – Noah transforms into the new golden king. He controls the ancient Monument of the Dead, awakens the mummy army sleeping under the yellow sand, and leads the remnants of the Doom Legion to sweep the entire desert. The yellow sand fills the sky, the sandstorm devours everything, the oasis dries up, the supplies are cut off, and the entire Golden Kingdom falls into despair.

Scarlett seized the Monument of the Dead at a critical moment. Although she could not completely eliminate Noah’s power, her heroic action gave our army the ability to summon ‘Guardians‘. The Guardians will be the key to confronting the mummies, our mission is to lead the Guardian Legion, to fight against Noah’s mummy army, to break the curse of the desert, and to rejuvenate the ancient Golden Kingdom! However, the desert journey is by no means easy. On this fiery battlefield, not only do we have to fight against Noah’s mummy legion and the giant monsters of the desert, but we also have to beware of powerful commanders from other warzones who are also coveting the treasures and glory of the desert! After the start of Season III, the profession level cap will be raised to Lv.100, unlocking more new skills and strategic choices. New soldiers, buildings, and desert-themed gameplay will also make their grand debut! The war drums of the Flame Sand Sea have already sounded, and the legend of the heroes is about to be written! Are you ready to accept this unprecedented challenge?

This is the mail you will receive on your account when Season 3 is available.

Once a goal has been reached you can collect some rewards once, clicking on the chest icon with the red dot:

Season Contributions

There are some metrics to rank who did the most contributions during the season. You can access it from Season 3 menu -> Season Contributions.

These ranks don’t give you rewards, but your R4/5 could decided based on these metrics to reward you with loot rewards. Loot rewards are earned by the alliance capturing territories and can be distributed by R4/5 as they want.

Exploration:

Siege:

Spice War:

Enemy Kill:

Season 3 Goals

The main points that we already now about this season are:

• Spice is the rare resource alliances need to gather. It has the same role as the rare soil in Season 2, the more you gather the higher rewards at Season 3 end.
• The Alliance Center, a new building similar to Alliance Furnace of Season 2, might have a primary role in this new Season… new Alliance officers will be unlocked
• Mithril (similar to coal in S2) and Sacred Water (similar to titanium alloy in S2) are the new Seasonal resources that need to be gathered to be used for Seasonal buildings.
• Multiple Seasonal buildings are available and need to be upgraded
  • Curse Research Lab
  • Blessing Fountain
  • Altar
  • Protector’s Field

In game manual – Rules

For those who want to see the in game manual here we go, you will find such rules explained in the various section of this guide anyway.

Week 1 Manual

Season 3 Cheat Sheet

There are many similarities between Season 2 and Season 3, so to make it easier let’s create a comparison for a few topics:

Season 2	Season 3
Rare Soil	Spice	The most important resource on which results of Season 3 are based.
Coal	Mithril	Used to upgrade seasonal buildings
Titanium Alloy	Sacred Water	Used to upgrade seasonal buildings
Titanium Alloy Factory	Blessing Fountain	Same logic, blessing fountain produces Sacred water.
High Heat Furnace	Curse Research Lab	They are used to increase resistance to Virus in S2 and Curse in S3
Military Bases	Altar	The Altar behaves similarly to military bases (tank/air/missile) but this time it strengthens the base stats of Desert Protectors instead of heroes.
Alliance Furnace	Alliance Center	Both are buildings that are used by the alliance and have a range, so commanders need to be in range. In Season 3 it is to protect against Sandworms
Purge Action	Purge Action	Exact same event based on killing zombies
Purge the Polluted Area	Digging Stronghold Clash	Exact same event based on capturing digging sites

New Basic Resources – Mithril and Sacred Water

Additional resources are available now in the game: Mithril and Secret Water.

The World and the map

The world changed again, the map is composed by 3 different types of buildings: cities, digging strongholds and trade posts.

At the beginning of the season you and your allies will find yourselves stranded at the edge of the server (but still all together as alliance hive), with no owned city. Cities must be re-conquered, but new rules apply…

Doom elite monsters are transformed into egyptian monsters, and most of the zombies need a high virus resistance to be killed.

This is how the map looks like:

The map size is: 13 * 13 squares (even if they look like rectangles in the map below), each square is 75*75 “pixels” (your base size is 3*3).

Click the following link if you want the high quality version of the map above: High quality Map (credits to oorgo for creating it)

NEW: More community tools and maps for Season 3 can be found in the Community page, they can help you plan captures and winning strategies

And here the official maps released afterwards by Last War:

Click the following links if you want the high quality version of the 2 maps above: Overview Map – Detailed Map

Visitors

2 new types of visitors arrive in front of the wall every once in a while (the one on the left after a few hours, the one on the right once daily), and they distribute Mithril .

Golden Scarab

You will find golden Scarab going around in the map… Click on them and attack them to get rewards.
It looks like there are only Level 1 Golden Scarabs.

Radar Missions – Desert Ruins

A new type of radar mission arrives with Season 3.
It evolves in 2 parts:

• A game of luck to find various rewards:
  • You found Desert Ruins
  • Collect the rewards or risk going deeper in the Ruins with the risk of losing all
• If you hit a trap a mini-game with coin reward starts
  • Run to collect coins and avoid zombies, you have 30 seconds to escape the ruins and collect as many coins as you can

These new radar missions are really great because they can give you nice rewards, the best of which is Merit Medals (the ones you use to purchase stuff in the season store) if you are lucky enough to complete all stages and you choose the right chest. There is a video below in which the max rewards are won.

New Buildings

New types of buildings are available during season 3.

IMPORTANT: Seasonal buildings will disappear at the end of Season 3, so purchase items only if you are aware that they will help you only temporarely in Season 3.

Curse Research Lab

The Curse Research Lab allows you to enhance your resistance to curse, similarly to resistance to Virus, to defeat Elite zombie and Digging Stronghold protectors. To upgrade it you need Sacred Water

Levels and attributes

The info about levels, resource costs and time can be found in the following Google Docs Spreadsheet: Link to document
Find out more tools for Season 3 in the Community page

Blessing Fountain

Blessing Fountains produce Sacred Water , they are similar to titanium alloy factory in Season 2.

Multiple Blessing Fountains are available. To unlock them level up the previous Blessing Fountain (they are named Blessing Fountain I / II / III / IV / V ). To level them up you need mithril , so refer to the article about the new resources in season 3 to know how to retrieve them.

Find out more tools for Season 3 in the Community page

Relocation

The Alliance Center can be relocated. To relocate it you need to build the relocation spot, similarly as done to built the initial Alliance Center. This is also similar to how relocating the Alliance Furnace was in Season 2.

IMPORTANT: enemies can attac the relocation spot once you start building it, so be careful.

New Farms – Alliance Resources

As shown in Season 1 and 2, after defeating Doom Elites, a new type of alliance resource farm can temporarily appear at random. In Season 3, these farms can include sacred water and mithril types. Up to 10 squads can gather in each Gathering Tile.

The Probability of Alliance Resource Tiles appearing after killing monsters is 5%

When Alliance Resource Tiles appear, the probabilities for each type are:

• Sacred Water, Mithril, Diamond Resource Tile: 11.11% (each)
• Food, Iron, Coin Resource Tile: 22.22% (each)

Cities

City capture follows City Clash S3 event schedule

Owned cities produce Spice that is fundamental to win Season 3, and the amount depends on the city level.

City Spice production per level:

• Level 1: 100/h Spice
• Level 2: 200/h Spice
• Level 3: 300/h Spice
• Level 4: 400/h Spice
• Level 5: 500/h Spice
• Level 6: 600/h Spice

Level 6 cities

There are 4 level 6 cities and this is their disposition

City capture limits

As we can see from Alliance Button -> Alliance City:

• Daily City war declaration limit: 2
• Max Captured Cities: 8
• Daily Digging Stronghold captures: 2
• Max Digging Stronghold captured: 8

Digging Strongholds

Digging Strongholds are locations on maps that allow to dig Mithril. They are similar to dig sites of Season 2.

They are protected by Mummy Guards and Golden Annihilators. The higher the level of the Digging Stronghold the stronger the protector.

Each Digging Stronghold provides 100/h of Mithril, regardless of the Digging Stronghold level

Level 1:

Level 2:

Level 3:

Level 4:

Level 5:

Level 6:

There are 3 different types of Golden Beasts defending the Digging Strongholds, click on the i to see the detail:

• Golden Defender is of type tanks
• Golden Striker is of type aircraft
• Golden Annihilator is of type missile

Digging Strongholds produce Mithril and you can collect it from Alliance button -> Alliance Cities -> Digging Strongholds -> Claim all:

Trade Posts

Trade Posts are located in specific locations on map, they are placed on the diagonals going towards the capitol and Trade Posts can be of different levels up to level 5.

Trade posts don’t equal to stronghold or cities. They can be occupied by individuals, and will unlock a market in which everyone can buy items. The owner of the trade posts can earn taxes.

There’s no need to control adjacent territory, and there’s no limit on the number of trade posts you can have. However, trade posts can be captured by others, so you need to be defend. Therefore, it’s usually difficult for one player to manage too many trade posts effectively.

Rules:

• Trade Posts progressively unlock to be captured starting from day 7 of week 2.
• Opening interval: 7 days
• Contest duration: 1 hour
• Troops stationed in the Trade Post will gradually increase capture progress over time.
• Progress is tracked separately for you and your allies.
• During the contest, the first commander to reach 100% progress wins the Trade Post. If no commander reaches 100% by the end of the contest, the commander with the highest progress takes the Trade Post if it has no Governor.
• If the Trade Post already has a Governor, the current Governor retains control if no one reaches 100% by the end of the contest.

Each Trade Post is an independent store, and commanders in the same game season group can purchase its items.

Once the Governor takes control of a Trade Post, they can summon a Trade Caravan one time to restock items and enable purchases.

[More info as soon]

Trade Posts Levels:

As you can see from these images, the higher the level of the Trade Post the more items it has available

Game action

There are a lot of new things you can do in the game in Season 3:

• Like Cat base skin to get rewards
• Sandwork Crisis
• Desert Protectors
• Build an Oasis
• Desert Artifacts
• Doom Walkers
• Trucks

Like Cat base skin to get rewards

Find cat base skins and send them a like to immediately receive a rewards. There is a daily limit on likes you can give.

Sandworm Crisis

Small Sandworm

When commanders fight monsters on the map, shock waves are generated and small sandworms are attracted by them. When the progress bar fills, the last commander to trigger it will attract the sandworm that will entangle it.

The “Possible Loot” you see listed as rewards are dropped as chests on the map close to where the sandworm was killed.

Large Sandworm

Rewards

Fighting Sandworm generates additional rewards, daily and goal based.

Giant Sandworms

As if small and large sandworms weren’t enough, meet the Giant Sandworms.
Deploy Trap Landmines to catch Giant Sandworms and then kill them with the help of your alliance.

Trap Landmines are a seasonal skill that allows you to deploy a trap, and if the Giant Sandworms happens to lurk around and cross its path it gets caught and brought to the surface.

Check out the size of Giant Sandworms compared to a city. When Sandworms appear they cause the area to become deserted again, as you can see right around the city. If not killed the sandworm will disappear after 5 hours.

Alliance Center prevents members within range from being knocked back by Giant Sandworms.[ I still haven’t figure out what that means, comment this article if you know]

Desert Protectors

Desert Protectors are a new type of soldier with enhanced abilities that are available in Season 3 starting from day 1 week 1. It has been confirmed that they don’t stand for the T11, so expect T11 to be available in the future.

[soon a complete guide]

Build an Oasis

This event starts in correspondence of the opening of level 1 cities day 3 of week 1 and it lasts until the end of the season.

[soon a complete guide]

Desert Artifacts

Desert Artifacts are similar to Supply Collections of Season 2.

Please go to the dedicated guide for Desert Artifacts.

Doom Walkers

On early servers the new levels of Doom Walkers will appear for the first time in Season 3.

For newer server this is the schedule:

• After entering Season 1 off-season, Doom Walkers level 200, 210 and 220 will unlock
• After entering Season 2 off-season, Doom Walkers level 230, 240 and 250 will unlock

Doom Walkers are quite important during seasons because their first blood (first daily kill) will reward a lot of scarce resources like mithril.

Here the Doom Walkers levels with their first blood rewards:

Trucks

Trucks undergo a makeover, but it is purely aesthetic.

Hero upgrades and weapons

Season 3 brings news regarding heroes and weapons, their availability differs in time.

The most important news: Hero Swap event that allows you to exchange both EXP level and Stars of a Hero.

Hero Swap

Scarlett upgrade to UR

It will be possible to upgrade Scarlett to . The event will probably start week 2 or week 3

S3: Legend Returns

S3 Legend Returns starts day 1 of Season 3. Use Hero return Tickets right away to get some additional Mithril and Secred Water.

Recruit Heroes

S3: Weapons of Legends

S3 Weapons of Legends will start day 3 . The reset countdown is of 2 days and 5 hours for a free recruitment

Exclusive Weapons

Season 2 also brings some exclusive weapons: Marshall, Schuyler and McGregor.

Unofficial schedule: Marshall will receive exclusive weapon on 9th January, Schuyler on 23rd January, McGregor on 13th February.

Marshall’s Exclusive Weapon

Using Marshall’s Exclusive Weapon Battle Pass (starting at day 4 of season 3) you will be able to earn Marshall’s Exclusive Weapon Shards that allow you to activate and upgrade the exclusive weapon easily (else you can collect Universal Exclusive Weapon shards to use, but they can be used only for upgrade and not for activation).

See all the details in this article about Marshall’s Exclusive Weapon.

Professions – Level Cap extended to Lv. 100

In Season 3, the Level Cap for professions is extended to Lv.100, promising unlocking of more new skills and strategic choices.
Up until the end of week 1 the Diplomat profession is not yet available, it is not know if it will unlock during Season 3.

Desert Bazaar

Fighting Sandworms you can collect Sandworm Scales, that you can exchange in the Desert Bazaar for very important items.

The Desert Bazar resets weekly.

Season Passes

During Season 2 you have access to multiple passes that will help you throughout the season and to power up your heroes. They are similar to Season 1/2 passes.

Season Battle Pass

IMPORTANT PURCHASE LOGIC:

Weekly Pass

Marshall’s Exclusive Weapon Battle Pass

Shards rewards

Desert Blessing – Boosts

This season brings a new set of boosts for those that have the following base skin, decorations and heroes

IMPORTANT: the Eternal Pyramid listed in boosts is the decoration and NOT the base skin. By the way the base skin that looks like a pyramid is actually called “Dominance Sanctuary” and you can find it in the Season Store. The only base skin that gives buff in this season is the cat “Meow-lody”

Season 3 Quests

The Quests section  (icon above Heroes button) gets enhanced with newly added season main and secondary Tasks.

This addition is quite important because the main rewards are sacred water and mithril.

The logic is the same as the daily quest missions you are used to since the beginning of the game.

Below an example of current tasks:

Season Alliance Milestones

Season 3 re-introduces milestones, as the ones we saw at each Season.

You can access the Milestones and claim rewards going to “Alliance” button -> Season Milestones.

Here we can find some hints of what is going to happen in the Season.

Season 3 Rewards

Season Rewards are of 2 types:

• Alliance rewards, that are based on tiers based on conditions met at Season’s end. The reward tier remains fixed after settlment.
• Faction rewards

Alliance Rewards

There are 8 tiers of rewards and the conditions are still to be announced.

Once you meet the condition of a tier you will see the corresponding trophy with a ribbon like the following image. The rewards are based on the conditions met at the end of the season.

Tier 1

Tier 2

Tier 3
