Fast Growth

Prepare for Season 3 to gain an early advantage:

Generic:

• Buy Scarlett and Universal Epic shards  from stores (as soon as available) to use them for upgrade to UR events
• Ask your R4/5 to give priority to alliance tech “Veteran Craftsman” to have a lower building cost for Season 3 seasonal buildings in mithril and sacred water. (even if the description explicitly says food/iron/gold reduction it also applies to seasonal resources)

Season 1/2:

• don’t spend all hero return tickets  in Season 1/2, use them in season 3 the first days in which even a low amount of mithril makes a difference (1k mithril or sacred water are among rare possibilities, check probabilities below )

Season 1/2 Celebration:

• during black market event purchase Eternal Pyramid (the decoration) to use its buff in season 3. IMPORTANT: the Eternal Pyramid listed in boosts is the decoration and NOT the base skin.

Heroes:

First days strategy

The first days of Season 3 is a struggle because of mithril shortage and low virus resistance, all these activities will help you to grow faster.

• buy right away season battle pass and weekly pass if you can
• arrive to Season 3 start with the radar with stacked missions, so to be sure to get a Desert Ruin radar mission
• move your alliance to a better spot if you are in a bad position in map to go towards level 6 cities or if you have unfriendly alliance neighbors
• don’t do a Doom Walker after reset the day your server receives Season 3. Wait for Season 3 to start and then kill the highest level of Doom Walker you are able to to receive a lot of mithril with first kill. Do that every day, level 190 can reward you with 207k mithril as first blood. New levels of Doom Walkers unlock with Season 3, probably at day 3.
• upgrade all Blessing Fountains 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 blessing fountain the next one is unlocked.
• if you have the additional Blessing Fountain ( through the weekly pass) before leveling up a Blessing Fountain check if this one has a lower cost, if it does prefer upgrading this fountain.
• kill small zombies with the highest level you can to do first kill rewards. Since Season 1 small zombies have a type (tank/missile/aircraft) so take into consideration the dealt damage debuffs
• use war fever for all the activities that use attack to increment by 1% the power
• check how to reduce costs for Blessing Fountain and Curse Research Lab in the next paragraph
• rallies: the virus resistance of the leader of the rally is applied to all participants, use this for digging 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.
• after your curse research lab completed a level up check for rewards in Season 3-> Season 3 main banner-> Goals-> Individual (often it does not show red dot notification)
• if possible acquire decoration “Ethernal Pyramid” as it gives boost as described in Season 3 -> Season 3 Banner -> Desert Blessing
• purchase mithril pack (5,99 $)
• capture digging strongholds as soon as possible, as they provide hourly mithril to all members of alliance. Go to Alliance button -> Alliance Cities -> Tab Digging Strongholds and click on Claim all hourly.

Reduce costs for Blessing Fountain and Curse Research Lab

Blessing Fountain mithril costs and Curse Research Lab Sacred Water costs can be reduced with:

• your tech researches for building cost reduction “Master Craftsman”
• the engineer profession specialization, specifically level 35 “Resource Saving” skill (up to -5%)
• your alliance tech “Veteran Craftsman” about cost building cost reduction, ask your alliance to focus on that before season starts
