For Dark War Survival alliance leaders and players who spend and are in, or heading into, Season 6. Checked November 9, 2026.
Short answer: Dark War Survival Season 6 is Conquest Season: Origin Lands, an Ancient Egypt map where alliances join the Order Tribe or the Vengeance Union and fight over temples, cities, passes and Strongholds. Whether it is live for you depends on your server age, because the oldest servers moved on to Season 7, Ragnarok, in late July 2026. We found no official phase list or start date, so the plan below is our own frame, and every map detail from players is marked as such.
Our seasons guide covers all seasons in short. This post goes deeper on Season 6: the map, the war rules that changed this year, and where spend helps and where it does not.
Is Season 6 live on your server?
It depends on how old your server is. Dark War seasons run about eight weeks, and newer servers start at earlier seasons. The oldest servers reached Season 7, Ragnarok, in late July 2026, so for them Season 6 is over. Check the season screen in game. If you are about to enter Ragnarok instead, read our Ragnarok season guide.
The Season 6 map at a glance
| Feature | What it does | How sure we are |
|---|---|---|
| Two camps | Order Tribe and Vengeance Union. You keep your own alliance inside a camp | Players report |
| Oases | Give Holy Water, which upgrades season buildings | Players report |
| Holy Altar and Obelisk | The altar makes Holy Water. The Obelisk raises resistance to curses, the new name for the old virus | Players report |
| Temples | Eight in the middle, each with Ruin Tasks. Rewards from only two Ruin Tasks a day | Players report |
| Portals | Move troops fast. You can build them near captured tiles | Players report |
| Strongholds | The enemy camp can attack them only during Saturday's war declaration | Official, App Store notes |
| How a camp wins | Guides say the camp holding the most tiles and structures at the end. Rewards are not confirmed | Players report |
The map is a grid of tiles that you take one at a time with troops. Guides say each capture must touch a tile your alliance already owns, so a chain of tiles matters more than one big march.
What the April 2026 update changed
These come from the official App Store update notes in late April 2026, so they are the firmest rules we have.
- The war declaration window is now 2.5 hours, down from 4 hours. The Great Merit requirements were lowered to match.
- A captured Neutral or Enemy Camp city gets a 1.5 hour truce. Other captures get 2 minutes.
- You can teleport to tiles owned by your own camp or alliance during Origin Lands. Tiles under your shelter keep their owner after you teleport.
- Season reward changes moved which alliance ranks get Conquest and Vanguard rewards.
Phases: what we could and could not confirm
We found no official phase list and no start date for Season 6. A standard season runs about eight weeks, and Season 5 ran nine. Players also report war days on Wednesday and Saturday, with a Saturday window for Stronghold attacks. Times are server time and can change, so use your in-game calendar. The table below is our planning frame, not an official schedule.
| Stage | What to do |
|---|---|
| 1. Setup | Take Oases, build the Holy Altar and Obelisk, and get your curse resistance up |
| 2. Connect | Build tile chains toward temples and cities. Players say an attack on an enemy city needs an unbroken chain |
| 3. War days | Be ready before the window opens. Keep healing and speed-ups in stock. Stronghold attacks only on Saturday |
| 4. Last week | Claim every ranking and milestone reward, and use season items before they are removed |
For spenders and alliance leaders
What to buy before Season 6
- Permanent buys first. A second construction queue costs about $3 and stays. Our tips guide has the order we use.
- War day stock. In our view, healing and speed-ups before a war window are the spend that helps most, since a 2.5 hour window leaves no time to wait for a timer.
- Rubies for Ruin Tasks, only if you planned to spend anyway. Players report some tasks ask you to spend a set amount of Rubies. With rewards from only two tasks a day, do not buy extra for them. See our best packs to buy.
- Recharge events. If you were going to top up anyway, do it inside the event window. Our October update notes list the current ones.
What to skip
- Spending to chase Holy Water. Players report it comes from Oases. We found no pack that sells it.
- Season items in the last week. Season items can be removed at the end. Use them or do not buy them.
- Season packs before you check the shop. We could not confirm a season shop in any source, so look at your own screen first.
- Timers and random summons. Our tips guide advises against spending Rubies on them.
Alliance coordination
- Choose your camp together, before members scatter across the map.
- Set one meeting time for each war day and post it a day early.
- Give each officer a tile chain to build, so you do not all push the same edge.
- Plan Stronghold attacks for Saturday only.
- Our alliance leader guide covers roles, and the alliance leader page shows how we work with alliances.
