General recommendations for the alliance duel

In the six-day competition against another alliance, you and your fellow players must collect as many VS points as possible. With these tips, you can significantly increase your score and lead the alliance to victory:

Research the "Alliance Duel" technologies early on to earn the additional rewards of the Chests 4-6 and 7-9 to unlock.
Maximize the VS points by Research into the complete "Alliance Duel" technology.
Try daily at least 3.6 or 7.2 million VS points in order to secure the valuable reward chests.
Save for the VS days Drone parts, combat data, drone component chests, hero XP, accelerators and shards.
Use (if possible) twice a 12-hour sign. This gives you more flexibility and allows you to collect VS points several times on the sixth day of the duel by killing enemy units.
Combine your tasks specifically with the daily arms race competitionto collect points at the same time.
Do you meet superior VS opponentsit is worthwhile to Conserve resources and use them specifically in the next alliance duel. Discuss this with the leadership of your alliance.

Use Medals of honor only on Wednesday for the research.
Use Skill medals and shards only on Thursday for heroes.
Alliances from Asia and America can play a time advantage against European alliances, because the duel ends when most players from Europe are asleep (3:00/4:00 am). An alliance from Europe must therefore collect a significant lead in points - usually at least 52-58% at midnight.
