Sunday Prep Strategy

Sunday Cooldown & New VS Week Prep
Sunday Prep VS

Team HLIX, Sunday is our prep day. If you want to maximize your rewards for the new VS week starting tomorrow, here is your playbook:

  • 🔴 Stop Spending: Do not burn speedups, hero EXP, or drone parts today. Save everything for the upcoming VS days.
  • 🏆 Sunday Start, Tuesday Pop: Start your longest building and tech upgrades today so the timers finish (pop) on Tuesday (Building Day) or Wednesday (Tech Day).
  • 🍄 Farm Smart: Send your squads out to gather resources today, but time them so they return after the daily reset on Monday to instantly score gathering points.
  • 🧺 The Radar Trick: Stop doing Radar tasks today. Let your radar fill up to 1 slot under max so you can clear them all immediately after the Monday reset for a massive VS head start.
  • 🚚 Hoard Drone Items: Keep your drone parts locked away until Monday's Radar & Drone day.
  • 🧟 Golden Zombies Prep: Start hoarding your stamina now so you have a massive stockpile ready for Wednesday's Golden Zombie invasion.

Prep smart today so we can dominate tomorrow! 💪

Monday VS & Warzone Focus

Warzone Duel: The Race to Invade!
Monday VS Warzone

Team HLIX, the Warzone Duel is underway! Right now (Monday - Friday), we are in the Invasion Right stage. We must outscore the enemy server to earn the right to invade them on Saturday.

Today's VS Priorities (Radar & Drone)

  • 🧺 Empty the Radar: Collect all completed tasks and burn through your fresh ones. This is the fastest way to stack points today!
  • 🚚 Drone Dump: Burn your Drone Parts and Battle Data now to secure our lead.
  • ⚠️ Resource Reminder: Be mindful of your Hero EXP and Stamina today. Thursday is the big day for Hero EXP, so try to go light. Also, Wednesday starts the Golden Zombie Invasion with massive rewards — you don't have to hoard, but if you don't need to burn all your stamina today, save a little each day so you can go wild on the gold zombies!

How We Win the Invasion Right

  • ⚔️ Alliance Duel Victory: Winning our VS matchup today gives the server a massive +30,000 points.
  • 🚋 Hostile Warzone Plunder: Only target the enemy server! Use the Train Station filter to ensure you aren't hitting our own. Every plunder steals their points.
  • 💥 Arms Race Strategy: Aligning your VS tasks with the Arms Race schedule is key. We are fighting for that 1st Place (Individual) spot which grants a massive +150,000 point bonus to our server!

Focus on the Radar, keep an eye on your stamina, and let's make sure we are the invaders! Let's get to work! 💪

Tuesday VS: Builders Day Playbook

Tuesday VS Builders Day Playbook
Tuesday VS Strategy

Team HLIX, it's Builders Day! Here is the quickest way to maximize your VS points today:

  • 🎉 The Sunday Pop: If you started massive upgrades two days ago, you just saved almost 2 full days' worth of speedups. Burn those saved speedups on a new major build today to double up your points!
  • 🤝 Alliance Helps First: Wait for as many Alliance Helps (handshake icon) as possible before using any speedups. Let the team shave off time for free first.
  • 💥 Double-Dip Arms Race: Time your biggest building finishes and speedups strictly during the "Base Building" Arms Race blocks to stack individual and server points.
  • 🚋 UR Trucks & Tasks: Refresh your Trade Trucks and Secret Tasks until they are Legendary (UR) before starting them. This is the absolute best way to stack passive points all day.
  • 🔴 Speedup Discipline: Today is for Building and General speedups only. Save your Tech speedups for tomorrow. Exception: Only use Tech speedups today if you absolutely must to unlock your 3 daily Arms Race boxes.

Let's keep the pressure on! 💪

Honorable Campaign Tactics

Pushing vs. Farming
Strategy Events

Team HLIX, getting stuck on a level in the Honorable Campaign happens to everyone. Here is how you keep your progression moving when you hit a wall:

  • 📱 The "Gear Strip" Strategy: If your 1st Squad is stuck on a tough level, strip the best UR gear off your 2nd and 3rd squads and put it on your 1st Squad's weaker links.
  • 🚗 Farming vs. Pushing: If you absolutely cannot beat a new level even after swapping gear, stop wasting attempts. Fall back and farm the highest level you can comfortably "Quick Fight" to 100% completion. This maximizes your hourly rewards until your squads are strong enough to push again.

Gear Leveling & Progression Rules

Crucial Gear & Squad Priority (The 10-20-30-40 Rule)
Gear Strategy

Team HLIX, managing your gear is the difference between winning and losing fights. Here are the hard rules for gear progression:

  • 🏅 100% Focus on Squad 1: Your 1st Squad wins wars. Do not spread your best gear out among your backup squads. Feed your best items to your main hitters first.
  • ♻️ Dismantle Blue & Purple: Once you start getting Legendary (UR) gear, immediately dismantle your old Blue and Purple gear. They are only useful for the ore they provide to upgrade your UR pieces.
  • 🎯 The 10-20-30-40 Rule: When leveling up your UR gear, keep it balanced. Level all pieces to 10, then all to 20, then 30, and so on. Do not max one piece to 40 while the rest sit at 0. Balanced gear gives your squad the survivability they need to win.

Mid-Day Gear & Boss Hacks

Mid-Day Tips: UR Gear & Boss Damage
Gear Events

Team HLIX, here are two quick tips to keep your progression on track and your damage high:

🎨 The UR Gear Trap

Once your 1st Squad has a full set of UR gear, do not start blindly crafting UR gear for your 2nd Squad. I made this mistake myself, and I want to make sure my mistake doesn't turn into your mistake too.

  • The Cost: Adding stars is a massive power spike but incredibly expensive. It costs 1,110 Dielectric Ceramic per stage (5 stages total) plus 50 Blueprints just to reach 1 star.
  • The Exception: If you absolutely must craft UR gear for your 2nd squad right now, only craft Railguns and Data Chips for your main attackers, then stop!
  • The Fix: Funnel the rest of your Ceramics and Blueprints into starring up your 1st Squad until they are rolling with star-powered gear. They are the ones who win wars!

🎯 Wanted Boss Damage Hack

The daily Code Boss is a 30-second DPS check and doesn't hit hard enough to wipe you out. To maximize your 3 daily hits, go pure offense.

  • The Swap: Check the daily "Code" (50% boost to Tanks, Aircraft, or Missiles). Drop a heavy defender from your front line and swap in your highest-damage attacker from that boosted troop type. This swap could be the extra juice you need to hit the next damage goal and reap the massive rewards!

Let's keep pushing! 💪
