Season 4, Week 1 Storyline & Progression (Last War)

  • The overall season loop remains the same:
    • Raise your Resistance
    • Dig up dig sites
    • Kill Doom Elites to progress season buildings

New additions in Season 4

  • Blood Knight descends event: a new PvE activity running in stages.
  • A light mechanic built around a Lighthouse:
    • The Lighthouse must be upgraded
    • It must be kept active/used strategically
  • Protector Field reworked:
    • It now provides more than troop capacity
    • Includes a troop-type boost

Gameplay Highlights & Major Systems Introduced/Changed

1) Week 1 Rewards & Goals

  • Rewards structure is similar to earlier seasons:
    • Rank rewards
    • Faction rewards
  • Season goals focus on:
    • Keeping the Lighthouse lit for a required number of hours
    • Earning progress toward unlock rewards
  • Alliance target goals revolve around:
    • Capturing dig sites
    • Alliance dig site control ties to completing these goals

2) Alliance Center & Season Buildings Schedule

  • Week 1 unlocks cities and begins the usual alliance donations.
  • Alliance Center building count changes:
    • 4 buildings total this season (vs. 5 in Season 3)

Buildings (unlock timing)

  • Stone Warehouse: unlocks around 8 hours into availability (Week 1)
  • Oil Warehouse: unlocks at the start of Week 2
  • Megatama Warehouse: unlocks at the start of Week 4
  • Megatama:
    • Needed for Season 4 shop items
    • Collectible via events (notably Blood Knight)

3) Treasure/Zombie-Related Collection

Treasure items (including small “cats” mentioned) can be found by:

  • Lighting up your base/area, and/or
  • Attaching an Electrician to marches that attack monsters/targets to trigger mini treasure drops

Notes from the description:

  • There appear to be small and larger treasure types
  • There’s a stated cap of about 15 collectable units/people/items (as described)

4) Passes (What’s Emphasized)

  • $20 battle pass
    • Standard resources/profession/hero progression
    • Auto-caller notes weapon shards are missing here (though weapon shard content exists elsewhere)
  • $5 pass (strongly recommended)
    • Includes a free Level 5 Drone Component chest
    • Speaker says this is the one to take/claim every time
  • Weekly pass
    • Includes:
      • Resistance
      • March speed
      • Daily login rewards
      • Protector Horns (protectors are back)

5) Protector Field (Rework)

Protector Field is no longer just troop capacity:

  • It now houses a troop-type boost as well

Leveling logic

  • Levels 1–9: use normal resources (food/iron)
  • Level 10+:
    • Requires quartz
    • Speaker notes this effectively ties behind having completed the Lab

6) Season Buildings: Lab + Leveling Strategy

  • Core buildings include the Lab and the other season structures (including Lighthouse-related progression).
  • Key resource tip:
    • When upgrading season buildings, upgrade them evenly
    • Reason: each level provides the same resource production, so pushing one unevenly is inefficient

Lighthouse Mechanic (Key Season 4 Feature)

How the Lighthouse unlocks/levels

  • Lighthouse generators unlock at certain Lab milestones:
    • First Lighthouse generator: unlocks right away
    • Additional generator unlocks at Lab level 5, 10, and 15
  • The Lighthouse itself can be upgraded up to level 10 until the Lab is finished (similar dependency to Protector Field)

Why Lighthouse matters (power + boosts + timing)

  • Lighthouse capacity/power generation affects how long you can run “higher boost” levels.
  • During Blood Knight, power drains faster, so:
    • More engineers
    • And more generators help sustain lighting/boosts
  • Players can send engineers to other players to temporarily boost power generation.

Tactical use: boost short bursts

  • Lighthouse levels provide:
    • Larger illuminated area
    • Resistance buffs (example mentioned: “virus resistance”)
  • Best practice described:
    • Turn Lighthouse boost on
    • Start a rally/attack Doom Elites
    • Turn it off to preserve power while still gaining key resistance/sensitivity advantages

Dig Sites + Doom Elites Strategy (Early Season 4 Focus)

  • Dig sites and Doom Elites are emphasized as the main early method to secure season resources (noted as stone and quartz).
  • Speaker advice:
    • Push dig sites as fast as possible early because:
      • Higher Doom Elite stages require much more virus resistance
      • Upgrading the Lab takes time/resources

Blood Knight Event (Week 1 Portion)

What changes during the event

  • The map darkens with a red flame effect
  • Doom Elites wander/reset
  • Zombies (part of the event) also reset to earlier levels
  • Progression mechanic:
    • Higher stage level requires re-clearing earlier stages when the event resets
    • It does not fully reset completely every time—you may still progress further each occurrence

Why it’s valuable

Blood Knight is presented as one of the best ways to farm:

  • More season resources than normal grinding
  • Tactic cards from event enemies
  • Megatama drops for purchases in the Season 4 shop
  • Additional rewards via recruiting tied to event progression (hero recruitment tickets mentioned)

Timing in Week 1

  • Presented as Part 1 during Week 1 (PvE-focused)
  • PvP aspect not yet present in Part 1
  • Additional stages in Stage 2 are expected later (week or next week)

PvE city “ghost/general” boss

  • A PvE mechanism where a ghost appears on cities:
    • If a player owns the city, they can attack a boss/general for rewards

Lighthouse generator fuel (zombie collection)

To start Lighthouse generators:

  1. Go to the world map
  2. Attack any level zombies
  3. A cage icon indicates collection progress
  4. Once enough is collected, the generator can be activated

New Tactic Card & Profession Constraints

  • Tactic card system tied to profession:
    • Profession tree is capped at level 100 (stays there)
    • Core cards require profession level 80 to use (speaker calls this annoying)

Card loadout restrictions

  • Cannot stack identical cards in every slot
  • Cannot fill all slots with only battle cards or only resource cards

Card variety rules

  • Cards have random stats selected from lists
  • Other players won’t necessarily get the same stat rolls for similar cards
  • General tendency:
    • Battle cards skew more PvP-focused
    • Resource cards skew more PvE/engineer focused
      • Output increase, construction time reduction, free speedups, etc.

Exclusive Weapon / Hero Week

  • Exclusive weapon offering changed:
    • Week 1 features an aircraft hero instead of the prior pattern
    • Lucius is the highlighted hero for Week 1
  • Speaker notes:
    • Battle pass is similar structure
    • Week 2 likely brings more content (another event stage and possibly the “restaurant”/another rewards feature)

Gamers or Sources Featured

  • No other gamers, channels, or sources are explicitly named in the subtitles.
  • The speaker is referenced generically (no clear name provided).
