If you’ve been playing Fate War for more than a few days, you’ve probably tapped that little VIP badge in the corner and wondered how much it actually matters.
On paper, VIP looks like a simple bonus—some extra speed here, a bit more efficiency there. But once you dig into it, the system is much more strategic than it appears.
VIP in Fate War isn’t just a “nice perk.” Used the right way, it becomes a quiet engine that speeds up construction, reduces upgrade times, and makes your long-term growth smoother. The key is understanding how the VIP system actually works, because Fate War uses a slightly different setup compared to other IGG titles.
This guide breaks it all down in a clean, no-nonsense way so you can decide whether VIP fits your playstyle, and when activating it actually makes sense.
Every player has a VIP level (1 through 10). Higher VIP levels unlock more potential bonuses—things like better build speed, research efficiency, and general account boosts.
But there’s a twist: VIP benefits do NOT activate automatically.
Even if you’re VIP 7 or VIP 10, none of those perks work unless you manually activate VIP using a VIP access pass purchased with gems.
This is the part that confuses a lot of players. You can be sitting on a great VIP level, but if you don’t activate it, your account behaves like VIP 0.
To turn VIP on, you need to buy timed access:
Once activated, your bonuses kick in immediately. It’s a simple system, but it’s easy to burn gems if you activate it at the wrong time or without a plan.
Think of it this way:
You can climb VIP levels however the game allows (through events, chests, or purchases), but you still need a pass to activate the benefits.
Here’s an example from a real in-game test:
The extra +10% only appeared after VIP access was turned on. This is why VIP timing matters—activating it while you’re idle is basically a waste.
Fate War doesn’t publicly display every VIP perk in the transcript, but based on the structure and the single test shown, VIP bonuses typically influence:
The key thing to understand is this:
Higher VIP = stronger multipliers.
VIP activated = those multipliers actually apply.
Even a small boost, like +10% or +17% build speed, adds up fast during a long upgrade cycle or event race.
Short answer: it depends on how you play. Let’s break it down.
For F2P players, VIP can feel expensive. 2,500 gems for just one day is a big chunk, and if you activate VIP without planning, you’ll get little value from it.
But used strategically, even F2P players can benefit from occasional VIP bursts, especially during building-heavy events, research push days, or oments when you have multiple long upgrades stacked.
F2P shouldn’t aim for constant VIP uptime, but timed activation can save hours or even days of waiting.
Light spenders get the most balanced value from VIP. You can activate it:
For mid spenders, VIP becomes a tool for momentum.
Because you progress faster, you’re constantly upgrading something. A +10% or +17% speed boost compounds across your entire account.
The 7-day pass becomes a great middle ground—cheap enough to maintain occasionally, long enough to cover event windows and planned progress pushes.
Now Whales, you benefit the most, as expected. If you spend consistently and upgrade constantly, keeping VIP active is simply efficient.
You’re converting gems into speed, progress, and account power—something whales naturally value.
The 30-day pass is the best option in this case. It’s cheaper per day, and it keeps your entire account running at full potential.
If you activate VIP at random times, you’re wasting gems. If you activate VIP before major pushes, you get maximum value.
Here’s when activation makes the most sense:
1. When you’re upgrading multiple buildings at once. Stack your upgrades, then activate VIP to speed everything during that cycle.
2. When preparing for long construction timers. VIP shaves off hours or days, especially useful at higher levels.
3. During research days in events. Fate War loves to push research milestones, and VIP speeds this up while saving your speedups.
4. During Tribal Showdown (building or research days). These days matter—VIP helps you push higher milestones with less effort.
5. When you’re online enough to upgrade repeatedly. VIP is wasted if you’re sleeping or AFK for long stretches. Use it during active play windows.
VIP in Fate War is about activation timing, not constant uptime.
A quick comparison:
If you’re unsure, the 7-day pass is the safest middle ground.
VIP doesn’t cost money, it costs gems. If you’re buying gems through the in-game store, you’re paying full price.
