Alliance Duel: Monday
1. Overview
Day 1 of the Alliance Duel focuses on Radar Events, Gathering Resources, Mod Vehicle Upgrades, and Zombie Hunting. To maximize your points, you should prepare in advance on the rest days of the week and coordinate your efforts during the Golden Hour (when Full Preparedness tasks align with the Alliance Duel).
2. Preparation
Proper preparation is the key to outscoring your opponents right as the Duel starts:
- Radar Events: We have to keep the Radar Events from Sunday so you can claim them on Monday. There are a few events that expire in the morning, so we have to complete them on Sunday. This can potentially double the number of radar events you can complete on Monday. Updating the hero Laura is a good way to get more radar events, I have 20 extra each day.
- Gathering: Send your troops to the highest level resource nodes for Zents on Sunday, before going to sleep. Time their return so they finish gathering after the Monday reset. Zents give 3x more points per 1000 units than regular resources! When you don't play on Monday have the troops mine for Zent.
- Hoard Items: Save your Modification Blueprints, Golden Wrenches, Mod Vehicle Exterior Module Chests, and Tactical Plugin Chests. Do not use them in any other day! In the worst case, when you wnat to open all 3 chests in Full Preparedness, use only a few Modification Blueprints.
- Fuel Management: Save some fuel packages so you have enough to hunt Zombies: Snow Leopards and Frostbanes on Monday.
- Hero Mia: Upgrade the hero Mia to get more free modification blueprints.
- Full Preparedness: completing it every day rewards you the plugins and the exterior modules that are needed for the mod vehicle upgrades.
3. How to Score Points
Here are the ways to earn points on Day 1, based on the in-game tasks:
3.1 Radar and Gathering
| Task | Points |
|---|---|
| Complete 1 radar event | 16.3K points |
| Send Troops to Mine 1000 Zents | 12 points |
| Gather 1000 Wood | 4 points |
| Gather 1000 Electricity | 4 points |
| Gather 1000 Food | 4 points |
Strategy: Wait for your troops that you sent out on Sunday to return. Recalled troops only give points for what they gathered after the reset! Keep on troop gathering all day, if possible.
3.2 Mod Vehicle & Plugins
| Task | Points |
|---|---|
| Consume 1 Modification Blueprint | 85 points, updating the hero Mia gives 300 more each day. |
| Consume 1 Golden Wrench | 21.3K points |
| Open 1 Mod Vehicle Exterior Module Chest | Level 1: 1.6K Level 2: 4.9K Level 3: 14.7K Level 4: 44.2K Level 5: 132.7K Level 6: 398.2K Level 7: 1.1M |
| Open 1 Tactical Plugin Chest | Green: 9.8K Blue: 40.9K Purple: 163.9K Orange: 819.5K |
Strategy: Save your wrenches and Modification Blueprints for the Golden Hour when Full Preparedness has the "Mod Vehicle Boost" task (usually at 11 AM local time, and 11 PM local time, for France). This way, you score for both events at the same time!
3.3 Zombie Hunting (Snow Leopards & Frostbanes)
| Task | Points |
|---|---|
| Kill 1 Zombie (Snow Leopard) | Lv.1-10: 2.1K Lv.11-20: 2.5K Lv.21-30: 2.9K Lv.31-40: 3.4K Lv.41-50: 4.2K Lv.51-60: 5.1K |
| Start a team-up and kill a Bane Zombie (Frostbane) | Lv.1-10: 4.2K Lv.11-20: 5.1K Lv.21-30: 5.9K Lv.31-40: 6.8K Lv.41-50: 8.5K Lv.51-60: 10.2K |
Strategy: Bane Zombies give exactly double the points of normal zombies for the same level! Prioritize joining and starting Bane Zombie rallies with your alliance members. Use your saved fuel.
3.4 Premium Options

4. When to do it (Golden Hour)
The most efficient time to use your Mod Vehicle items is during the Golden Hour.
- Check the Full Preparedness schedule.
- Look for the Mod Vehicle Boost task.
- When this task is active, use your Blueprints, Wrenches, and Chests. You will max out your Full Preparedness chests while simultaneously putting huge points on the board for the Alliance Duel.
