Frontier Conflict Overview

In the lawless expanse of the Golden Wasteland, a new era of frontier conflict dawns.

Season 5 beckons alliances to a sprawling battlefield, where the pursuit of wealth fuels every skirmish.

King Spade, the formidable Mine Lord, casts a long shadow over this land, his CrystalGold empire the ultimate prize.

To challenge his reign, commanders must master a delicate balance of commerce and conquest.

Control over critical bank strongholds becomes the lifeblood of any campaign, funding ambitious offensives.

Valuable seasonal resources like aromatic coffee, raw beans, and aged whiskey are vital for sustaining a fighting force.

The introduction of the cross-warzone Trade Train creates dynamic new arteries for wealth and vulnerability.

Strategic territory control expands, turning every captured city into a node in a vast economic network.

Alliances must now think like empires, where savvy resource management is as crucial as battlefield courage.

Deposits in secured banks generate returns, rewarding those who can defend their holdings against relentless rivals.

In this golden wasteland, true dominance is not won by strength alone, but through cunning economic warfare and unbreakable alliances. 16 guidesSeason 5 of Last War kicks off with a two-week pre-season period, setting the stage for new challenges and adventures.

Players will spot the Season 5 icon positioned just beneath the Duel VS icon—or the Meteorite Iron War symbol—on the right side of the game interface.

A countdown timer signals when your server will officially transition into Season 5. Keep in mind, this countdown may differ from the standard server reset time since each server operates on its own schedule. Once the timer reaches zero, it generally takes between 10 to 30 minutes for Season 5 activities to begin.

Unlike Season 4, this new season draws inspiration from Season 1, incorporating familiar elements and refreshing the gameplay experience.

To help you navigate the changes, comprehensive guides are available covering the entire season timeline—from pre-season through weeks one to eight—and even the season’s grand finale.

Additionally, there are specialized guides focusing on professions, allowing you to optimize your strategies within this Wild West-themed season.

Eight warzones converge onto a single, colossal battlefield, each alliance vying for supremacy and the title of ultimate ruler.

This season unveils an expansive new map, an innovative banking system, and a dynamic cross-zone trade train, blending the thrill of combat with the allure of wealth accumulation.

🔥 Key Features of Season 5

1. Vast Map Enlargement

The battlefield now stretches to nine times its previous size, featuring intricate terrains and abundant resources scattered throughout. Navigating troops between regions and dispatching reinforcements over long distances are crucial strategies. This expansive environment offers alliances diverse opportunities for survival and conquest.

1. Streamlined Combat Schedule

Say goodbye to nonstop battles! Combat is confined to three daily fixed war periods, enhancing strategic planning. Alliances can activate immunity periods, granting members up to 15 hours of uninterrupted rest for recovery. During immunity, players retain offensive capabilities, allowing them to strike while maintaining rest.

1. Inter-Warzone Trade Train

A persistent trade train traverses the continent, halting at various stations where players can engage in commerce. Participants may consign goods for profit or orchestrate raids on the train’s route to earn additional rewards, leading to direct clashes with rival commanders. Each station represents a high-risk, high-reward opportunity for those daring enough to capitalize.

1. Reimagined Bank Strongholds

Traditional strongholds have evolved into banks, enabling the deposit of seasonal resources. The longer assets are held, the greater the returns. However, if a bank is overtaken, all stored resources become loot for the conquering enemy, adding a layer of risk to resource management.

His empire, built on the glowing veins of CrystalGold, fuels both the economy and the engines of war.

But his power stems from a darker source: a pact with the enigmatic Dr. Nier.

A sinister virus grants unnatural strength to his followers, chaining them as mindless labor to expand his mines.

Now, with ambitions inflamed, King Spade sends his challenge.

Yet, hope rides from the east.
