Last War Weekly Pass Buying Guide: What to Buy and What to Skip (2026)

Weekly-type passes in Last War: Survival go by several different names depending on where you find them. Some appear in Hot Deals, some are tied to the current season, and some only show up during limited-time events. The pass lineup has also changed in 2026, so older buying habits may no longer apply.

This guide covers the main weekly-type and 7-day passes players are most likely to see in 2026, then explains how to judge them based on your current bottleneck. The simple rule is this: buy the pass that helps your account right now. A pass full of materials you cannot use this week is still a bad purchase, even if the listed value looks high.

What “Weekly Pass” Actually Means in 2026

The term “Weekly Pass” is often used loosely by players. In practice, it can refer to several different short-duration passes.

Hot Deals passes are the most common. These usually run for 7 days and appear in the Hot Deals tab. Examples include Drone Training Pass, Special Training Pass, and Hero Growth Battle Pass. They commonly use a Free / Advanced / Premium tier structure, with Advanced often priced at 500 Gold Bricks and Premium at 2,000 Gold Bricks. Always confirm the exact price in your own shop before buying.

Seasonal passes are tied to the current season. They may appear in the season page, Battle Pass section, or a season-related shop tab. Their rewards usually focus on season resources, resistance materials, or progression items linked to that season’s systems.

Event passes are tied to limited-time events. Their duration and value change from event to event, so they should always be judged separately.

Before buying any pass, check three things: the duration, the full reward list, and whether the rewards match your current upgrade plan.

 

What Happened to Custom Weekly Pass?

Custom Weekly Pass used to be one of the best small-spender options because it let players choose rewards from a list. That flexibility made it useful for many account types. Players could pick drone materials, Hero Weapon Shards, Dielectric Ceramics, stamina, speed-ups, Upgrade Ore, or other items based on what they needed most.

However, Custom Weekly Pass has been removed from the normal shop rotation after the 2026 monetization changes. That means it should no longer be treated as a regular pass to wait for or include in your buying priority.

If the game brings back a similar customizable pass later, judge it by the reward choices and price at that time. For now, focus on the passes that are actually available in your shop.

 

Drone Training Pass: Strong When Drone Is Your Bottleneck

Drone Training Pass is a 7-day Hot Deals pass focused on drone progression. Its rewards usually include Drone Cogs, drone parts, and other drone upgrade materials.

Drone upgrades matter because the tactical drone improves your squad across different types of content, including PvE, PvP, Alliance events, and server competition. If your drone falls behind your main squad, your overall combat power can start to lag as well.

Buy it when:

• Your drone level or drone parts are your current progression ceiling.
• You are preparing for Capitol War, cross-server VS, or an Alliance push.
• Your main squad is already developed, but your drone has not kept pace.
• You need a combat power boost this week.

Skip it when:

• Your drone is stable and not your immediate bottleneck.
• Hero shards or gear materials are more urgent.
• You have no active drone upgrade plan.
• There is no important event coming up.

Drone Training Pass is one of the more reliable Hot Deals purchases because drone materials stay useful for a long time and are slow to collect without spending.

 

Special Training Pass: Best During Active Gear Weeks

Special Training Pass is another 7-day Hot Deals pass. It usually focuses on gear power and upgrade materials, such as Upgrade Ore, Dielectric Ceramics, blueprints, or other equipment-related items.

This pass is most useful when you are already upgrading gear. If you buy it without an active gear plan, the rewards may sit in your inventory and lose practical value.

Buy it when:

• You are upgrading gear stars.
• Ore, ceramics, or blueprints are your current bottleneck.
• You are pushing multiple gear pieces at the same time.
• You are preparing your main squad for Duel, war, or cross-server fights.

Skip it when:

• Your gear upgrades are not urgent this week.
• Drone materials would help your account more.
• You are still in the early game and gear is not a real constraint yet.
• The pass does not include the exact materials you need.

Special Training Pass is a timing purchase. It is good when you can use the materials immediately.

 

Hero Growth Battle Pass: Only Buy for Heroes You Use

Hero Growth Battle Pass is a short hero-focused pass that may appear in Hot Deals during certain rotations. It focuses on hero progression, usually through featured-hero shards, Exclusive Weapon materials, or other hero-related rewards depending on the rotation.

The most important thing is the featured hero. If the main rewards are tied to a hero you do not use, the paid tier loses a lot of value.

Buy it when:

• The featured hero is in your main lineup.
• The pass helps you reach an important star level or weapon breakpoint.
• You are building that hero long term.
• The rewards directly support your main squad.

Skip it when:

• The featured hero is not on your active team.
• You have not committed to building that hero.
• You only want the side rewards.
• Drone or gear progress would help you more this week.

Hero shards always look useful, but shard value depends on where they go. Do not pay for a hero pass unless the hero matters to your account.

 

Seasonal Battle Pass and Season Passes: Time-Sensitive Value

Seasonal passes, including the main Seasonal Battle Pass and any season-specific weekly offer your server may show, are tied to the current season’s systems. Rewards may include resistance materials, season building resources, season currency, or items used in season progression.

Timing matters a lot. Buying early gives you more time to use the rewards. Buying late can reduce the value, especially if the season is close to ending.

Buy it when:

• You are active in the current season.
• Your alliance is pushing season rankings, cities, or major objectives.
• The rewards help with resistance, season buildings, or seasonal upgrades.
• You are buying early enough to benefit from the materials.

Skip it when:

• The season is nearly over.
• The rewards are mostly generic resources.
• You are not engaged with season content.
• Your main squad needs drone, gear, or hero progress more.

Seasonal passes can be strong, but only when you are actually playing the season systems.

 

Event Passes: Read the Shop First

Limited-time events sometimes include their own pass or reward track. Some last about a week, while others run shorter or longer. Because reward quality changes with every event, these passes cannot be ranked in a fixed way.

Before buying, open the event shop and check what the paid track actually gives. Good event passes offer rare hero shards, strong upgrade materials, or items that are hard to get elsewhere. Weak event passes mostly give filler currency and generic resources.

Buy it when:

• The event shop has items you genuinely need.
• The event still has enough time left.
• You can reach the reward tier you want.
• The paid rewards are better than a normal Hot Deals pass.

Skip it when:

• The event is almost over.
• You cannot reach a meaningful reward tier.
• The shop is full of generic resources.
• The rewards do not match your current account priorities.

Event passes should be judged one by one. Never buy them just because they are limited.

 

Recommended Buying Order

For low to mid spenders, a sensible priority order looks like this:

1. Super Monthly Pass — if you log in daily, this is usually the baseline purchase.

2. Seasonal Battle Pass — if the current season rewards are strong and you are active.

3. Drone Training Pass — when drone materials are your bottleneck.

4. Special Training Pass — during active gear upgrade weeks.

5. Hero Growth Battle Pass — only when the featured hero is in your main lineup.

6. Season Weekly Pass — if it gives meaningful season progress and the season is not nearly over.

7. Event passes — only after checking the event shop and milestones.

This order is only a starting point. If your drone is badly behind, move Drone Training Pass higher. If you are building a key hero, Hero Growth Battle Pass may become more important. The principle stays the same: match the pass to your current bottleneck.
