Alliance Duel: Thursday
1. Overview
Day 4 (Thursday) of the Alliance Duel is heavily focused on Heroes and Equipment, specifically consuming fragments, upgrading gear, and recruiting.To maximize points, pull your recruits and use your experience points during the Golden Hour when Full Preparedness tasks align with the Alliance Duel.
2. Preparation
Proper preparation is the key to winning Thursday:
- Recruitment Tickets: Hoard your Prime Recruitment tickets all week. Thursday is the day to spend them! In Full Preparedness, use only the experience points to upgrade your hero level.
- Hero Fragments: Save all Orange, Purple, and Blue hero fragments. Do not consume them to upgrade hero skills on other days.
- Equipment Materials: Save your Enhancement Alloys, Orange Skill Books, Power Cores, and Exclusive Equipment Fragments. Do not upgrade equipment on other days! You can only consume the green and blue equipments you get in Area Exploration to update the existing equipments used by your heroes.
- Purple and Blue Skill Books: These are the only skill books you can consume anytime, they give no points in the Alliance Duel, or any other event. Focus on the purple heros used in your teams, max out their skills.
- Gifting Roses: gives 6 Orange universal hero fragments per week
3. How to Score Points
Here are the ways to earn points on Thursday:
3.1 Hero Upgrades & Recruitment
| Task | Points |
|---|---|
| Consume 1 Orange Hero Fragments | 16.3K points |
| Consume 1 Purple hero fragments | 5.7K points |
| Consume 1 Blue hero fragments | 1.6K points |
| Perform 1 Prime Recruits | 2.1K points |
Strategy: This is where you blow your Prime Recruitment tickets. Using tickets will naturally give you fragments, which you then consume to upgrade your heroes, double-dipping on points. Make sure to check the Hall of Honor for heroes that have their own unique fragments. Use those first, then combine them with universal fragments to upgrade your purple and blue heroes. Try to get at least one Orange hero at the next star level, to use the skill books too on it, for more points.
3.2 Equipment & Enhancements
| Task | Points |
|---|---|
| Consume 1 Orange Equipment as Promotion material | 983.4K points |
| Spend 1 Exclusive Equipment Fragments | 16.3K points |
| Consume 1 Power Cores | 1.7K points |
| Consume 10 Enhancement Alloys | 9 points |
| Consume 1 Orange Skill Books | 32 points |
Strategy: Promoting equipment using Orange Equipment as material drops an absolutely massive near-1-million points per use. Wait for Thursday to do all of your gear enhancements.
3.3 Premium Options
| Task | Points |

| Buy packs containing Diamonds [1 Diamond] | 30 points |
4. When to do it (Golden Hour)
The most efficient time to use your Prime Recruits and Hero EXP is during the Golden Hour.
- Check the Full Preparedness schedule.
- Look for the Hero Initiative task.
- When this task is active, use your resources. You will max out your Full Preparedness chests while simultaneously putting massive points on the board for the Alliance Duel.
- Sometimes we use all we got on Thursday, so we can get the most points possible, other times we have to leave some fragments for next week if we plan to update a certain hero to the next star level.
- After each Thursday we can see if we can finish the level in the Hero Battlefield.
