By strategically investing in these advanced tech trees, you can tailor your forces to suit your playstyle, gaining a competitive edge in Last War: Survival.
When Should You Specialize?
Here’s a general guideline:
| Stage | Focus |
|---|---|
| HQ 25–30 | Stick to foundational trees: Development, Hero, Units, Special Forces. |
| HQ 30–33 | Begin unlocking Age of Oil, Siege to Seize, and Defense Fortifications. |
| HQ 33–35+ | Choose a Vehicle Mastery path that fits your main combat role. |
Switching Between Mastery Paths?
Most players choose one vehicle type to specialize in. Switching can be done, but it’s expensive and time-consuming. Before you commit:
- Review your hero lineup.
- Examine your troop availability and gear.
- Consider your role in alliance events (rally leader, defender, support, etc.)
