Alliance Duel is one of those events where most players either waste everything randomly or barely make progress. The difference between average rewards and top-tier rewards isn’t spending—it’s timing. If you understand how to prepare, hoard, and release resources at the right moment, you can hit high milestones consistently without burning your entire inventory.
This guide breaks the entire event down in a clean flow so you can follow it phase by phase without confusion.
Last Asylum Plague Alliance Duel Event Guide
Before even talking about phases, you need to understand the main idea behind Alliance Duel.
You don’t play the event daily—you prepare for it before it even starts.
Saving resources like:
- Falcon Quests
- Speed-ups
- Hero EXP
- Shards
- Building progress
allows you to dump everything at the right time and instantly spike points. That’s how players hit high tiers quickly while others struggle.
Also, unlocking Alliance Duel research (Lab Level 15) is important because it boosts your scoring potential significantly.
Event Flow
The smartest way to move through the event is not random. You follow a structured push:
You start by rushing early reward tiers quickly, then push Arena Expert milestones, then continue pushing higher tiers, and only after that do you start maxing everything else. This ensures you secure guaranteed rewards first before going for extra points.
Phase 1 – Enhance Raven (Strong Start Setup)
This phase is all about preparation and smart release of saved resources.
You should enter this phase with Falcon Quests already saved from the weekend. When the phase begins, you start using them immediately to gain early points. At the same time, any Raven Essence and fruits you’ve been saving should be used here, especially if Raven Survival Battle is active since you can double dip points.
While doing this, your squads should already be out gathering resources because passive gathering also contributes to your score. Using some antitoxin during Hero Survival Battle also gives extra value, but you don’t want to overspend—save enough for later phases.
A small but important trick here is starting builds and not finishing them. You begin construction, but instead of completing it, you leave the final tap (hammer) for later phases where it will give more value.
Phase 2 – Territory Development (Controlled Spending Phase)
This is where players usually overspend—and regret it later.
During this phase, you use your building speed-ups, but only enough to reach your point cap. Don’t dump everything. Focus on upgrading required buildings or smaller structures that give quick points.
A smart move here is pre-building. If you have long upgrades (over 1 day), start them before the phase begins but don’t complete them. Then, during the event, you finish them for instant points.
Another important habit is not tapping completed builds immediately after finishing. Save those completions for later phases like Phase 5, where they will count again.
Phase 3 – Tech Research (Big Point Spike Phase)
This is one of the most important phases for scoring.
You should come into this phase with:
- Falcon Quests saved
- Long research timers ready
- Speed-ups available
The ideal play is to start long research upgrades right at reset or slightly after. This maximizes how many points you gain during the phase.
This is also the best time to open Raven chests that you’ve been saving from previous days and events. Opening everything here gives a massive boost in points.
The key mindset here is efficiency. Use just enough resources to hit max rewards, not more.
Phase 4 – Hero Growth (Heavy Investment Phase)
This is where your saved resources finally get dumped properly.
You focus entirely on your main heroes by:
- Leveling them up
- Increasing star levels
- Upgrading skills
All your saved EXP items, universal shards, and recruit tickets should be used here. This is one of the highest scoring phases, especially if you’ve been saving properly.
Even though it’s tempting to use everything, it’s still smart to hold some resources for Survival Battle events if you’re trying to maximize overall efficiency.
This phase is where your account power noticeably increases.
Phase 5 – War Preparation (Mixed Resource Usage)
This phase combines multiple systems, which makes it flexible.
Here, you start using:
- Saved Falcon Quests
- Training speed-ups
- Some building or research speed-ups
However, timing still matters. If a Troop Training Survival Battle is active, it’s better to align your training with that to gain extra value.
This phase rewards players who planned ahead rather than those who try to rush everything last minute.
Phase 6 – Raid Enemy (Risk vs Reward Phase)
This is the only phase where your playstyle really matters.
If you’re not interested in PvP, you can simply shield and avoid losing resources while still completing smaller tasks.
If you are active in war, you can:
- Attack enemies
- Defend alliance members
- Garrison bases
Defending or helping allies can still give points, especially if you’re strong enough to hold against attackers.
At the end of the day, this phase reminds you of one thing:
This is a war game. Playing safe is an option—but playing aggressive gives more rewards if you can handle it.
The biggest difference between average and top players in Alliance Duel is discipline. You don’t use resources when you get them—you save them for when they matter most.
Another important habit is only pushing until max reward thresholds. Anything beyond that should only be done if you’re competing for rankings.
Also, always try to align your actions with Survival Battle events whenever possible. This lets you earn points in two systems at once, which is the most efficient way to progress.
