🏝️ Alliance Event Meta Guide: Mastering Lost Island & Barren Land

Attention all members! Stop rushing single buildings to Level 25 with your season resin—the old strategy is dead.

The current game meta relies entirely on the Island Enhancement Average Level system. To maximize our combat power and resin efficiency, we need to stop wasting resources and start upgrading evenly.

:warning: The Core Problem: Linear Buffs vs. Exponential Costs

Older guides told you to max out individual buildings, but they completely ignored cost scaling. Building attributes scale linearly, while Enhancement Resin costs scale exponentially.

* Levels 1 to 13: Highly efficient resin-to-honor ratio.

* Levels 14 to 18: Moderate cost—the optimal baseline for your entire hill.

* Levels 19 to 25: Extremely expensive. For example, pushing a Pro Rally Center to level 25 costs an atrocious 38 resin per single honor point.

The Golden Rule: Push all buildings to Level 18 first, then Level 21, and only max to Level 25 once our foundational baselines are fully secured.

:clipboard: Alliance Upgrade Priority Order

Follow this exact upgrade path to smash through the 40,000 honor threshold as fast and efficiently as possible:

:1st_place_medal: Tier 1: Global Stats & Fruits (Immediate Priority)

* Queen & Troop Tunnel: Absolute priority. These provide flat attack, defense, and health bonuses across all soldier ant types.

* Evolution Fungi: Rush this to Level 21. It grants a massive season soldier ant attack bonus and heavily increases your daily season fruit yields.

:2nd_place_medal: Tier 2: Combat Optimization

* Main Class Ant Nest: Level your primary unit nest (Shooter, Guardian, or Carrier) to Level 18 to unlock T12 soldier output and drastically reduce heavy healing costs.

* Alliance Center: Boosts overall health for season soldier ants and dramatically increases alliance healing speed during war.

:3rd_place_medal: Tier 3: Fortress & Tower Warfare

* Mutation Flora & Entrances: These now directly provide health, attack, and defense buffs specifically tailored for fortress and tower battles.

* Insect Habitat: Grants critical defensive and offensive stat blocks when contesting node towers.

:sports_medal: Tier 4: Rallies (Save for Last!)

* Rally Centers (Pro, 1, 2, 3): Save these for the very end. While they now buff all troops (not just pro units), they remain the least efficient buildings for honor gains.

:bullseye: Action Plan for Players

* Check your hill and bring lagging structures up to match your current baseline (aim for Level 18 across the board).

* Stop dumping all your resin into Rallies or single high-level structures.

* Focus your resin strictly on Tier 1 & Tier 2 priorities to secure our alliance’s dominance in the upcoming event!

Hello, my friend!

Thank you for sharing your experiences with us. I’d suggest adding some images to your posts as well. It would make them much easier to understand, especially for those who use a translator.

Please keep up the great work! :blush:
