The Best Guide to Last War Survival: Season 3 Week 3 Events, Strategies, and Tips

A complete Last War Survival Season 3 Week 3 guide covering the Oasis Project, Faction Awards, Scarlett's UR Hero Promotion, Sandworm Hunter traps, City Clash Level 5 and Level 6 cities, Trade Posts, and Desert Bazaar priorities.

Last War Survival Season 3 Week 3 pushes Golden Realm into a much more competitive phase. Factions finally take shape, Scarlet and Golden diplomacy starts to matter, Sandworm trapping replaces simple worm-killing, and Scarlett's UR promotion becomes one of the biggest account spikes of the week.

This guide turns Week 3 into a practical checklist. Keep Oasis Project progress moving, coordinate faction choices early, get the Curse Research Lab to Level 30 before Hero Promotion stalls, unlock Trap Landmine before Sandworm Hunter starts, and plan around Saturday's Level 6 City Clash rewards.

Key takeaways

  • Week 3 is the week where politics and coordination matter more because faction selection can split friendly warzones if presidents do not communicate early.
  • Scarlett's UR Hero Promotion is one of the highest-value Week 3 upgrades, but it is gated by both server coin donations and a Level 30 Curse Research Lab.
  • Sandworm Hunter is not a normal attack event; players need the Trap Landmine profession skill and a steady source of trap refills before they can compete.
  • Saturday's Level 6 City Clash is the marquee objective of the week because it can reward Hero's Return Recruitment Tickets and other high-end loot.

Part 1: Keep the Oasis Project Moving

The Oasis Project continues in Week 3 and remains a reliable source of Professional Experience, Diamonds, Resource Chests, and Construction Speed-ups. It is not the flashiest event on the calendar, but it still supports your long-term season progression and skill unlock pace.

The routine is simple: find the border between grassy land and desert on the world map, tap the Greenify icon beside the target building, and send a scout plane to convert the surrounding tiles. If you ignore it because other Week 3 systems look more exciting, you can quietly fall behind on Professional Experience that matters later in the season.

  • Look for untouched grass-desert borders near active cities.
  • Use spare activity windows to keep recon planes working instead of letting greenification stall.
  • Treat Professional Experience as the real reason to stay consistent with the Oasis Project.

Part 2: Manage Faction Awards and Warzone Diplomacy Carefully

Week 3 is when the Scarlet Legion versus Golden Tribe structure starts to matter. The two strongest warzones in a grouping become the faction leads, and presidents from other warzones decide which side to join. If a faction fills up, presidents can push another warzone out, so this system is only partly about raw power and heavily shaped by diplomacy behind the scenes.

Faction scoring comes from converting dead units into Desert Protectors, which also pays out Diamonds, Mithril, and Sacred Water. By this point in the season, some players may already feel overloaded with Mithril or Sacred Water, but the ranking pressure and long-term faction positioning still make the event worth coordinating closely.

  • If you are a Warzone President, contact allied warzones early instead of waiting for last-minute faction decisions.
  • Keep friendly warzones on the same side when possible so your Total Spices ranking stays competitive.
  • Convert dead units with faction scoring in mind, not as an isolated cleanup action.

Part 3: Prepare Scarlett's UR Hero Promotion Before the Event Opens

Hero Promotion is one of the biggest Week 3 account spikes because this season lets players upgrade the epic hero Scarlett into a Legendary UR hero. That kind of promotion can easily become the centerpiece of your weekly plan, but the unlock path has two separate gates that catch unprepared players.

First, the server must collectively donate 3,000,000 coins before the Hero Promotion activity appears. Second, and much more important for individual readiness, you need the Curse Research Lab at Level 30 to obtain the promotion tokens required for Scarlett. Players who ignore Curse Lab progress can watch the event open and still fail to convert that timing into an upgrade.

  • Watch server coin donation progress so you know when Hero Promotion is about to unlock.
  • Push the Curse Research Lab to Level 30 before promotion materials become the bottleneck.
  • Do not treat Scarlett's UR promotion as automatic just because the server unlocks the feature.

Part 4: Unlock Trap Landmine Before Sandworm Hunter Starts

Week 3 replaces the old Sandworm Crisis kill pattern with Sandworm Hunter. You are no longer solving the event by simply attacking worms. The entire loop shifts toward finding, trapping, and then capitalizing on higher-value Sandworm catches.

The first requirement is unlocking Trap Landmine in your seasonal profession skills, whether you are on the Engineer or War Leader path. Without that skill, you cannot place traps at all. Trap refills can come from storyline survivors visiting your base or from the Desert Bazaar using Sandworm Scales, so players who start stockpiling too late usually lose event tempo immediately.

There are separate daily rankings for Discoveries and Damage Dealt. Discoveries reward items such as Alliance Compasses and the Worm Master commemorative coin, while damage rankings can pay out universal exclusive weapon shards, resources, and speed-ups. A known bug has affected the Worm Expert tracking tab on some servers, so be prepared for tracking inconsistencies until the developer side is corrected.

  • Unlock Trap Landmine in the seasonal profession tree before you expect to participate.
  • Use the Desert Bazaar to keep trap refill supply healthy if storyline drops are not enough.
  • Compete in both discovery and damage rankings because they reward different high-value items.

Part 5: Plan the Week Around Level 5 and Level 6 City Clash Openings

Week 3 raises the map stakes by opening Level 5 and Level 6 cities. Level 5 cities begin opening earlier in the week after Doom Elites are cleared, while the Level 6 Square of Judgment unlocks on Saturday and becomes the headline alliance target.

The reason to organize around Saturday is simple: Level 6 fights carry some of the best seasonal loot, especially Hero's Return Recruitment Tickets that can convert into valuable legendary hero pulls. This is the part of Week 3 where scattered alliances get exposed and disciplined alliances pull ahead.

  • Track Doom Elite clears so your alliance is ready for the Level 5 city timing window.
  • Set Saturday plans in advance for Level 6 Square of Judgment instead of improvising after unlock.
  • Treat Hero's Return Recruitment Tickets as the signature reward worth scheduling around.

Part 6: Reuse Trade Posts for Diamond Value and Map Control

Trade War returns in a familiar format through Trade Posts. During the first half of the week, alliances can capture Trade Posts across any warzone and use them to buy goods with Diamonds. That gives Week 3 another reason to pay attention to territory pressure outside your immediate home route.

Captured posts enter a six-day protection cycle before becoming vulnerable again. That means early capture timing matters, especially if your alliance wants stable access to a post's inventory before rival players or alliances start contesting it.

  • Grab useful Trade Posts early so your alliance can spend Diamonds before protection ends.
  • Watch the six-day protection timer because the recapture window changes how safely you can hold value.
  • Use Trade Posts as both an economy tool and a pressure point in cross-warzone play.

Part 7: Spend Desert Bazaar Currency on Week 3 Bottlenecks

Recurring seasonal systems still matter in Week 3. Desert Treasure remains important because Alliance Compasses from Sandworm Hunting can reveal Alliance Vaults, while Hammers break Personal Vault blocks to uncover artifacts and rewards.

Desert Bazaar should be treated as a bottleneck solver, not a random shop. This week, the highest-value purchases are usually Trap Landmine Refills, Hammers, and Compasses, because each of those feeds an active Week 3 loop instead of sitting in inventory unused. Desert Blessing is also worth checking so seasonal decorations and hero combinations continue giving passive buffs such as reduced monster damage taken.

  • Spend Sandworm Scales where they remove active Week 3 bottlenecks first.
  • Prioritize trap refills, hammers, and compasses over lower-impact convenience buys.
  • Keep Desert Blessing buffs active if your current decoration and hero set can improve PvE efficiency.

Final Season 3 Week 3 Strategy

Season 3 Week 3 is where short-term event execution starts feeding long-term faction control. Good alliances keep Oasis Project experience moving, settle faction politics early, unlock Scarlett's promotion path before it becomes urgent, and approach Sandworm Hunter as a preparation event instead of a simple combat event.

If you want the cleanest rule set for the week, use this: keep greenification running in the background, coordinate faction choices as soon as presidents can act, push Curse Research Lab to Level 30, unlock Trap Landmine before the first serious Sandworm Hunter push, and schedule your strongest attendance for Saturday's Level 6 City Clash.

  • Do the political coordination early because faction mistakes are hard to unwind later.
  • Prepare for Hero Promotion and Sandworm Hunter before the events start paying out.
  • Anchor the week around Saturday's Level 6 battle if your alliance wants the best reward swing.
