How to Progress Faster in Fate War (7 Tips, Tricks & Cheats)

‍

Leveling up in Fate War isn’t just about rushing upgrades or training endless troops…

‍

It’s about making smart choices with your resources. The players who surge ahead aren’t grinding harder… they’re just playing smarter.

‍

Whether you're aiming to unlock Tier 4 units, power through chapters, or snowball your economy early, these Fate War tips and tricks will help you build faster and stay ahead of your server rivals.

‍

Let’s dive in…

‍

1. Complete Through Chapter Quests First

‍

Chapter quests are your best early-game compass. They unlock key buildings like the Shrine, trigger city expansions, and grant tons of free resources including Starglitter (for hero summons), XP, and knowledge boosts.

‍

Stick to these quests like they’re your main story mission in an RPG. Even if you’re tempted to explore or upgrade freely, following chapter progression will open up more of the game faster.

‍

Once you reach Chapter 4, you’ll unlock key systems like Research, Overworld exploration, and Black Forge hunts, so don’t waste time.

‍

2. Set Your Research Path Toward Tier 4

‍

Research in Fate War is gated by knowledge, not just timers. And reaching Tier 4 troops should be your number one research goal in the first 7–10 days.

‍

Start by lightly investing in the Economy tree (Gravel Roads, Scholar Circle, etc.) to increase knowledge generation. Then shift to the Military tree, working through prerequisites until Tier 4 unlocks.

‍

After you reach T4, go back and max out Scholar Circle, Taxation, and Mathematics to strengthen your production base.

‍

This split approach ensures you get early power spikes while building for long-term sustainability.

‍

3. Train T1 Only Until You Unlock T3

‍

Troop training is a common trap. Many new players start queuing T2 as soon as it’s available, but in Fate War, you’ll unlock Tier 3 within a day or two.

‍

Training T2 troops wastes resources and time. Instead, stick with Tier 1 troops until you reach T3. Then shift your queues. Don’t use speed-ups yet, instead, save those for Tier 4.

‍

And unless you’re 100% sure of your formation strategy, avoid training Beast Riders until T4. There’s still a lot we don’t know about their long-term value.

‍

4. Prioritize Knowledge Production Before Anything Else

‍

Knowledge is the currency that powers all research, and it’s generated passively through Scholar Circles (small, medium, and large).

‍

Ignore most other production buildings early on and focus your upgrades here. Prioritize Scholar capacity, Study rate, and Transport speed.

‍

The goal is to leave nothing in your stockpile and have knowledge constantly flowing into your Shrine. The sooner you max out Scholar Circles, the faster your research (and power level) climbs.

‍

Also upgrade Housing early so you can collect more Coins during Taxation (do this at the end of your play session to get the highest return).

‍

5. Unlock and Farm the Overworld (But Focus Inside Your City)

‍

Once you unlock the Overworld, you’ll be able to hunt, gather, and explore.

‍

Start by targeting Black Forge enemies inside your city walls. They scale faster than the ones outside, give better loot, and reward more XP, which is perfect for leveling up early heroes.

‍

Don’t hoard stamina. It refills passively, and you can buy more with gems (a worthwhile spend early on). Farming Black Forge also rewards gems, so it pays itself off over time.

‍

6. Level Up Hunter-Tagged Heroes First

‍

Your starting heroes include Baldur, Rex, and Elia. Focus on Baldur and Elia first, since both have the Hunter tag which boosts resource rewards from Black Forge.

‍

Level them to 23 ASAP to max out that Hunter talent. This one upgrade snowballs your income, feeding more XP books and resources into the rest of your hero roster.

‍

Later you’ll unlock other Hunters like Raynald and legendary heroes, so level them the same way to multiply your growth.

‍

7. Use Event Quests and Watchtower Wisely

‍

Your Watchtower is a key driver of early progression. As soon as it unlocks, upgrade it regularly and collect from it daily.

‍

It also triggers event quests, many of which overlap with what you’re already doing (training troops, upgrading buildings, hunting Black Forge). Time your speed-ups and big upgrades during event windows for bonus rewards.

‍

And when you find chest rewards while exploring, prioritize Lumber for building upgrades and Treaties or Hero XP to power up your Hunters.

‍

Want to Progress Faster Without Wasting Resources?

‍

Now that you’ve got the strategy, it’s all about how efficiently you grow in Fate War.

‍

Whether you're unlocking Tier 4 troops, upgrading your Shrine, or maxing out your knowledge production, Fate War ramps up fast, and the higher you go, the more it demands. Sure, you can grind… but smart players know when to boost.
