The perfect line-up & formation of the heroes

In Last War Survival, the correct deployment of heroes and troops is crucial to be successful in battles and minimize losses. You should always bear in mind that heroes and units have certain strengths and weaknesses that can complement each other.

Group troops correctly in Last War

Depending on progress, Last War offers up to three troops with 5 heroes each available. The VIP Pass activates a additional troop free. This means that players can have a maximum of four troops at their disposal. However, the number of troop slots is less important than the Correct grouping of your heroes. As a general rule, the first troop should be your strongest troop, as it is at the forefront of attacks and defense. The following points should always be borne in mind when grouping heroes:

Receive for the use of heroes of the same troop type (tank, airplane or rocket) a Boost.
Set for the Maximum fighting power the strongest heroes (first UR, then SSR and finally SR)
Equip your heroes in the first troop with the strongest equipment (weapon, armor, chip and radar).
Use the correct chip set for the first, second and third troop.

In certain cases, it is also worth mixing up your troops. This is sometimes advantageous in certain duels against the "Wanted Boss" or when defending your trucks. However, this also depends on the strength of the heroes deployed and the opponent. The grouping is particularly important as the game progresses - not at the beginning.

Boost for the same troop type

Depending on the composition of your squad, it can receive a boost of up tom 20% on HP, attack and defense received:

+5%: Deploy 3 heroes of the same troop type
+10%: Deploy 3 heroes of the same type and 2 of a different type
+15%: Deploy 4 heroes of the same troop type
20%: Deploy 5 heroes of the same troop type

Counter troops correctly

To inflict as much damage as possible on your opponent, you can attack their troops with a counter team. This can be important, for example, when occupying a mine or during events such as Desert Storm or Winter Storm. The following counters give troops a damage debuff:

Tanks take -20% damage from missile vehicles
Missile vehicles suffer -20% damage from aircraft
Aircraft suffer -20% damage from tanks

However, a counterattack force should only be used if the combat strength of both forces is almost equal. A tank troop with, for example, a 30% higher combat strength than an aircraft troop will still win the direct duel.

Use the right chip set for troops

Another factor in optimizing the combat strength of your troops is the use of the right chip sets. If your first squad only consists of tanks, they will only receive a boost from tank chips. If the second group consists of aircraft and missile vehicles, aircraft and missile chips can be activated there.

The right hero formation for your troops

In addition to the use of certain troop types, the formation of your heroes is an important factor for troop strength. This is because each troop type has Shield, attack and help Further specializations.

Shield: Can withstand considerable damage
Artillery: Can cause considerable damage
Help: Grants team members various buffs (Marshall, Monica and Sarah)

As a general rule, heroes with shields should be positioned in the first row and heroes with firepower or assistance in the second row.

The best tank heroes

Durability is paramount in armored formations. Rely on heroes who remain steadfast at the front line, reliably protect your rear ranks and can also deal powerful damage at the right moment. The currently preferred tank formation is:

Williams (defense)
Murphy (defense)
Kimberly (Attack)
Stetmann (Attack)
Marshall (help for buffs)

If the hero Stetmann is not yet available, his position can be taken by Tesla (rocket vehicle).

The best airplane heroes

In Last War Survival, airplanes are a decisive factor for your military strength. But they can only unleash their full power with the right heroes and formation. The team of the best aircraft formation consists of:

Lucius (defense)
Carlie (defense)
Morrison (Attack)
Schuyler (Attack)
DVA (Attack)

The best rocket vehicles

Missile vehicle teams are masters of long-range combat and reliably break through enemy defenses. They deal consistently high damage, but rely on a stable front line to protect them. The most effective missile team at the moment is:

Adam (defense)
McGregor (defense)
Fiona (Attack)
Tesla (attack)
Swift (attack)
