Troops are one of the main foundations of your army in Last War: Survival.
Heroes provide abilities and combat bonuses, but troops determine the size and strength of your marches.
A strong account requires both developed heroes and upgraded troops.
How Troop Development Works
Troop strength depends on:
- Troop tier
- Number of troops
- Training buildings
- Research bonuses
- Account progression
Higher-level troops provide better combat performance and increase the strength of your marches.
Training Troops
Troops are created through training buildings.
Keeping training active is important because unused training capacity slows your account growth.
Good habits:
- Keep training queues active.
- Plan training around events.
- Avoid long periods without troop production.
Troop Tiers
Higher troop tiers provide stronger units.
Upgrading troop tiers improves:
- Combat effectiveness
- March strength
- Overall army performance
Higher-tier troops require significant investment, so progression should be planned carefully.
Troop Quantity
Having strong troops is important, but quantity also matters.
A powerful hero lineup with too few troops will not perform at full capacity.
A balanced account needs:
- Developed heroes
- Strong troop tiers
- Enough troop quantity
Troop Types
Last War has three main troop types:
Tank
Tank units focus on durability and frontline strength.
They are effective when you need:
- More survivability
- Strong defensive formations
- Longer battles
Aircraft
Aircraft units focus on offensive pressure.
They are effective when you need:
- Strong damage output
- Aggressive combat strategies
Missile
Missile units focus on ranged damage.
They are effective when you need:
- High damage potential
- Strong offensive performance
Each troop type has advantages and disadvantages against others.
Troop Research
Research plays an important role in troop performance.
Research improves:
- Attack
- Defense
- Health
- Combat efficiency
A strong troop army requires both upgraded units and strong research.
Training Priority
A good progression approach:
- Unlock higher troop tiers.
- Improve training capacity.
- Increase troop quantity.
- Upgrade combat research.
- Continue long-term improvements.
Your priorities depend on your current account progression.
Troops and Events
Many events reward troop-related activities.
Plan carefully around:
- Training events
- Upgrade events
- Competitive activities
Saving training speedups and resources can provide additional rewards.
Common Troop Mistakes

To improve your army:
- Keep training active.
- Upgrade troop tiers.
