Last War: Train & heal units faster

Q: How can I heal troops faster?

It is best to start the healing at times when many alliance members are online - this way you will quickly receive a lot of alliance help. Divide the healing into several short sections (ideal: maximum approx. 2 hours) so that you can receive alliance help several times from members. The Strategy Minister buff (+20 % Speed) is also worthwhile. Also make full use of your Emergency Center (if unlocked) to heal many units immediately.

If you regularly play PvP in Last War, take part in Alliance wars or want to push events, one thing counts above all: speed. If you can recruit units and heal troops faster, you'll be ready for action sooner. This guide will show you the fastest way to heal and train troops.

Train units faster - here's how

There are two particularly effective methods for recruiting units faster in Last War. If you use them consistently, your training slot will fill up much faster. Most worthwhile is the before important fights and especially in daily Arms race competition „Unit progress“.

Method 1: Use Buff to accelerate training

A simple and very effective method: Apply as a Minister of Defense and receive a Buff from each 20% for the Unit training limit and the Training speed.

Method 2: Always form units in stages

This method saves you a lot of waiting time during training as well as accelerators and is essential for long-term success. Background: In Last War, you have the option of using up to four barracks to train soldiers (levels 1-10) - this is how you proceed:

Use a different soldier level for each barracks (e.g. level 6, 7, 8, 9)
Upgrade from the lowest level to the next higher level (e.g. 6 to 7, 7 to 8, 8 to 9, etc.).
Always train the maximum number of soldiers at the lowest barracks level, using the training buff as a minister.
Always recruit the maximum number of soldiers for the next level (green arrow).
Use accelerators for the level upgrade (if required) to quickly improve units.

One example:

The direct training of the maximum number (see picture) of level 9 units would take 1 day, 4 hours and 40 minutes. The promotion of level 8 soldiers to level 9 would only take 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Heal soldiers faster - here's how

With a few tricks, you can significantly increase the number of units in Last War. Heal faster. Particularly effective here is the Help from your alliance and Buff as minister. Healing is important during and after PvP battles and for earning points in the arms race (by using Accelerators) and in the Alliance duel.

Method 1: Use buff to speed up healing

A simple but very effective method is the Strategy Minister post: Apply for it and secure the +20 % buff to healing speed. This will noticeably reduce healing times, get your troops ready for action again more quickly and allow you to heal much more efficiently, especially after PvP battles or during events.

Method 2: Shorten healing with alliance help

Particularly efficient and free of charge is the Healing through the Help from your allies. You can see how much an alliance aid reduces your healing time and the maximum number of aids possible in the Alliance Support Center. To benefit most from the help, proceed as follows:

It is best to heal your troops when many allies are online so that they can help you via the Alliance aid free of charge.
Never heal all soldiers at once - the only exception is if the soldiers are needed immediately in battle.
Divide your soldiers to be healed into smaller groups in order to get Alliance help as often as possible (usually 2-4 hours)
The more members can support you and the higher the help time, the more soldiers you can heal at once.
With many injured soldiers, use the Strategy Minister Buff (+20 % healing speed).

Example:

You will receive up to 26 alliance help with a help time of 13 minutes and 40 seconds each. The help time for 10 members is approx. 2 hours and 15 minutes - the total help time for 26 members is just under 6 hours.

That's why it's worth speeding up recruitment and healing

Every battle takes time: casualties have to be replaced and the wounded have to be tended to. The better you speed up these two processes, the more you benefit:

Alliance war, zone and season events (continuous combat pressure)
Assemblies and coordinated attacks (rapid deployment of troops)
PvP phases in which quick reactions are crucial
Build-up phases in which you can use speed-ups in a more targeted way

Common mistakes that cost you a lot of speed

Some players invest in buffs and speedups - and still lose speed because small mistakes add up every day. If you avoid these typical pitfalls, you'll be ready to fight again faster and get much more out of events and alliance support. Here are the most common mistakes that cost you massive amounts of speed.

Activate buffs without having capacity for new units
Waste speedups outside of events
Start healing when alliance is offline (no alliance help)
Too many unnecessary fights that only produce casualties
Units die due to overcrowded military hospitals
