The Gear Guide in Last War: Crafting & Upgrade Order

In Last War: Survival Game, your Combat Power isn't just about how many troops you have—it's about the Gear your heroes wear. Whether you are a free-to-play player or a spender, managing your Gear efficiently is the difference between winning and losing battles.

This guide covers everything from the Honor Store to the exact order you should craft and upgrade your equipment. Let’s dive in!

The Golden Rule of the Honor Store

Before we touch the gear itself, we need to talk about Honor Points. You earn these from the Alliance Duel and other events.

There is only ONE thing you should ever buy in the Honor Store: Gear Blueprints.
Do not buy speedups, resources, or decorative chests. In the late game, blueprints become the biggest bottleneck for growth. Stockpile them now, even if you are a new player.

 

The Gear Factory Trap

Once you unlock the Gear Factory, you will be tempted to keep leveling it up. Stop at Level 20.

Leveling the Gear Factory past Level 20 provides almost zero benefit. It does not unlock better gear; it only gives a tiny amount of building power. Save your resources and builder time for your Headquarters and Tech Center.

 

Rarity Matters: Aim for Orange

Gear comes in four colors: Green, Blue, Purple, and Orange (UR).

• New Player Tip: Never level up Purple gear! It is a waste of Upgrade Ore.
• Strategy: Dismantle all your Green, Blue, and Purple gear. Use the materials to Merge them upwards until you create Orange (UR) Gear. The stat difference between Purple and Orange is massive (over 700 attack points difference on a weapon).

 

The Perfect Crafting Order (Priority List)

You shouldn't just craft random items. Based on the meta squad (usually Tank heroes like Kimberly, Murphy, Mason/Stetmann, Marshall/Williams), here is the exact order to craft your Orange Gear:

1. Kimberly's Gun (Weapon): She is your main damage dealer.

2. Murphy's Radar: Murphy is your main defender; Radar increases Defense.

3. Guns for the Rest: Craft Guns for Mason, Marshall (or your other back-row attackers).

4. Radar for 2nd Defender: Craft a Radar for your second tank (e.g., Violet or Williams).

5. Chips for Attackers: Chips provide Critical Rate and Damage boosts.

6. Chips for Defenders: Finish the chips for the front row.

7. Armor for Defenders: Armor provides damage resistance.

8. Radars for Attackers: Finally, give your attackers some defense.

 

How to Level Up Gear (The Ore Strategy)

Upgrade Ore is hard to get. Do not spread it randomly. Follow this leveling path to maximize efficiency:

1. Level Everything to 10: Get every piece of gear on your main squad to Level 10. This unlocks the first bonus attribute.

2. Attacker Guns to 40: Push your three back-row heroes' weapons to Level 40.

3. Defender Radars to 40: Push your two front-row heroes' Radars to Level 40.

4. Defender Armor to 40: This provides crucial physical damage resistance.

5. Chips to 40: Maximize your damage output.

Note: Leveling gear costs roughly 200,000 Upgrade Ore to go from Level 0 to 40. Plan accordingly!

 

Promoting Gear (The Star System)

Once a piece of gear reaches Level 40, you can "Promote" (or Prestige) it to add stars/tiers.

• Cost: This is expensive. It requires Millions of Gold, thousands of Ore, and special Blueprints.
• Warning: Be careful spending Gold here if you haven't unlocked T10 Troops yet. The "Special Forces" research for T10 troops requires billions of Gold. Balance your spending carefully.

If you do promote, aim to do it evenly across your team, or focus heavily on your main carry (like Kimberly).

 

Summary

Gear is a marathon, not a sprint.

• Buy Blueprints daily in the Honor Store.
• Merge everything to Orange.
• Prioritize Guns for attackers and Radars for defenders.
• Save Gold for T10 research before maxing out gear promotion.
