The Best Guide to Last War Season 2 Week 2: Polar Dishes, Beast Crisis, and Level Swap

Week 2 in Polar Storm is not just another collection of side events. It is a very practical progression week built around resource acceleration, alliance coordination, and cleaner roster management. Players who stay organized here build a much stronger base for the harder seasonal pressure that follows.

The main reason this week is so valuable is simple: it gives several different ways to secure Coal and Titanium Alloy without relying on only one activity. Polar Dishes adds reliable daily value, Beast Crisis creates a major alliance reward window, and Level Swap lets you upgrade your real combat lineup without rebuilding a hero from scratch.

The Polar Dishes event begins on the first day of Season 2 Week 2 and continues through the rest of Season 2. The event revolves around collecting ingredients, checking Snowflake's requested recipe, and cooking the correct dish for the best reward chest.

At a basic level, the system is simple: gather ingredients through daily play, look at the Recipe button in the event menu, and combine the right ingredients to match the dish Snowflake currently wants. The difference between doing this casually and doing it efficiently is the size of your Coal payout over the course of the season.

Your primary source of ingredients is daily task progression. That means the best Polar Dishes strategy is not a special farming trick, but a reliable daily routine that ensures you finish all five daily task chests consistently.

The fifth chest is especially important because it gives an Ingredient Choice Box. Unlike normal drops, this box does not open by itself. You need to go into your Inventory, open the Special tab, use the box manually, and then choose the exact ingredient your current recipe still needs. That last step is where a lot of players quietly lose value by opening items carelessly or forgetting the box altogether.

If your ingredient drops are uneven, the alliance trading menu is the system that fixes the problem. The Trade Ingredients button lets you post what you have too much of and look for what allies are offering in return. Used well, this is the fastest way to turn awkward inventory into a correct recipe instead of settling for a lower-value random dish.

The best outcome is feeding Snowflake the exact requested dish. When the game says the dog likes the food, you receive the higher-tier gold chest. Random dishes still give useful Coal and resources, so leftover ingredients should still be cooked rather than wasted, but the main target should always be the desired recipe first.

Beast Crisis is one of the most alliance-dependent events in Season 2 Week 2. It runs for 18 days and functions similarly to Zombie Siege, but inside the Polar Storm context it becomes even more important because the reward pool includes both Coal and Titanium Alloy.

During the event, waves of Mutant Beasts attack your Alliance Furnace. There are 30 total waves, and the alliance needs to keep the furnace standing through the entire sequence. If you succeed, the rewards include Gold, Speedups, Coal, and Titanium Alloy, which makes this one of the best cooperative progression windows of the week.

To clear Beast Crisis cleanly, your alliance should treat the Alliance Furnace like a live objective that needs constant attention for the full event duration. Everyone who can participate should send their strongest squad to garrison before the countdown finishes, because later waves punish weak coverage very quickly.

The most important mechanic to understand is squad ejection. After certain waves, squads that are defeated or heavily weakened may be kicked out of the furnace automatically. This means the defense is not truly passive. Players and leadership need to watch the map and re-send their best squad immediately if they get removed, otherwise the furnace becomes easier to break in later waves.

If furnace durability drops to 0, the Alliance Furnace turns into ruins and the alliance effectively fails the rest of the event. That makes re-garrison speed more important than casual participation. A strong alliance that watches the event closely will outperform a stronger-on-paper alliance that assumes the garrison will hold by itself.

One detail that confuses many players is the targeting and ranking display during Beast Crisis. Not every alliance member will necessarily be directly attacked by the Mutant Beasts, and not everyone will appear on the visible ranking in the same way.

That is normal. For example, an alliance may have far more players garrisoning the furnace than the number of players directly targeted during the battle. Even if only part of the alliance shows up in the attack records, everyone who actively participated in the garrison can still collect the tier rewards after the event ends. The important thing is contribution to the furnace defense, not whether you personally got highlighted by the combat log.

The Level Swap event returns in Week 2 and gives you a direct way to improve your active lineup without repeating the full EXP grind. The feature lets you permanently swap the levels and base combat attributes of two heroes, including the practical stats that matter for immediate battle performance.

This is especially strong when you have a newly acquired UR hero that deserves frontline use, but your EXP is still tied up inside an older SSR hero you no longer use. Instead of slowly rebuilding from zero, you can move that investment onto the stronger hero and bring them into real combat much faster.

A key Week 2 warning is that players have reported not receiving new free Level Swap Tickets during this phase of Season 2. Whether that remains true for every server or not, the safe assumption is that you should check your current inventory instead of waiting for an extra free ticket to appear.

If you saved Level Swap Tickets from Season 1, they still work. That makes Week 2 a perfect time to open your Special inventory items, confirm what you still have, and use those saved tickets on a hero change that actually improves your main march for Polar Storm.

Season 2 Week 2 rewards players who connect daily efficiency with alliance discipline. Polar Dishes improves your daily Coal flow, Beast Crisis turns alliance coordination into progression materials, and Level Swap helps your best heroes actually keep pace with the seasonal difficulty curve.

If you want a simple Week 2 rule set, it is this: clear all daily task chests, trade ingredients before settling for weak dishes, schedule Beast Crisis participation with your alliance, and spend saved Level Swap Tickets only where they improve your real combat roster. That approach gives you much more value than treating each event as a separate mini-game.
