For Last Asylum: Plague R5/R4 alliance leaders spending $1,000+/month who want to dominate the new Hunt Battle event from day one — before your competitors figure out the mechanics.
Hunt Battle is a brand new alliance event coming to Last Asylum: Plague. This is the first dedicated alliance-wide combat event outside of Alliance Duel, and it introduces a completely different scoring mechanic: wave-based Blight clearing on a timer within your alliance territory.
For alliances running $1,000+/month rosters, Hunt Battle represents an opportunity to convert coordinated troop power into alliance-wide rewards at a scale the game hasn't offered before. But the event's mechanics reward preparation and timing, not just spending. Alliances that understand the wave structure, difficulty selection, and deployment windows before the event launches will extract significantly more value than those who react in real time.
This guide covers the Hunt Battle event rules, difficulty mechanics, wave structure, and — most importantly — the alliance coordination strategy that turns this event from a chaotic scramble into a controlled reward extraction operation.
The rules are simple. The mistakes alliances make with them are not. Here are the mechanics that separate alliances who extract maximum rewards from those who stumble through their first attempt:
Difficulty selection: When initiating Hunt Battle, the alliance chooses one difficulty level. This choice is locked for the entire challenge — you cannot switch difficulty mid-event. The difficulty you select determines the strength of the Blight waves and the corresponding reward tier.
Preparation phase: After the event starts, the first 5 minutes are preparation time. During this window, Blight spawn points appear in your alliance territory. No Blights spawn yet — this is your setup window to position squads and coordinate deployment.
Combat phase: After preparation, 15 waves of Blights spawn with increasing difficulty. Each wave is harder than the last. The more Blights your alliance kills within the specified time limit, the more rewards the alliance receives.
March mechanics: Troops attacking event Blights have a fixed march and return time of 15 seconds. This is standardized across all members regardless of territory position. Additionally, alliance members can participate even if their territory is not near the alliance territory — distance does not affect participation.
The difficulty selection is the single most consequential decision in Hunt Battle, and it happens before the event even starts. Choose too low, and your alliance clears all 15 waves easily but leaves higher-tier rewards on the table. Choose too high, and your alliance stalls on mid-waves, fails to clear, and walks away with fewer total rewards than a lower difficulty would have produced.
Since Hunt Battle rewards scale with total Blight kills (not just completion), the optimal difficulty is the highest level where your alliance can reliably clear all 15 waves within the time limit. Clearing 15/15 waves at difficulty 3 produces more total rewards than clearing 10/15 waves at difficulty 5.
Before the event, alliance leaders should assess:
Active member count during the event window. Having 20+ members is the minimum to initiate. But if only 15 are online during the actual combat phase, your effective firepower is reduced. Coordinate a specific start time and confirm attendance in advance.
Average troop tier across participating members. If most of your active roster is T8+, you can push higher difficulty. If half your roster is still running T5-T6, scale down. The weakest members determine whether late waves become a wall.
Hero investment depth. Members with maxed S-tier heroes and strong team compositions will contribute significantly more damage per march than members with scattered hero investment. Factor this into your assessment.
Hunt Battle sends 15 waves of Blights with increasing difficulty. The early waves exist to build momentum. The late waves are where most alliances fail. Here is how to approach the event structure:
The first five waves should be cleared quickly and cleanly. These waves test whether your alliance has enough active participants and basic coordination. At competitive spending levels, waves 1-5 should not be challenging. The goal here is establishing a fast clearing tempo that carries into mid-waves.
Key action: make sure every online member is actively sending marches. The 15-second fixed march and return time means rapid re-deployment is possible. Members should be sending marches continuously, not waiting for a Blight to die before targeting the next one.
Mid-waves increase Blight HP and damage significantly. This is where uncoordinated alliances start to slow down. The fix is simple: focus fire. Rather than spreading marches across multiple Blights, coordinate members to target the same Blight until it drops, then move to the next.
Alliance leaders should assign target priorities in real time using alliance chat or an external coordination channel. With the 15-second march cycle, even brief coordination produces measurable results.
Members with the strongest troop tiers and highest squad loads should be leading the target switches. Their marches deal disproportionate damage, so getting them onto the right Blight first matters more than getting every member perfectly aligned.
The final waves are the hardest and the most rewarding. Blight HP will be at its highest, and the time pressure intensifies. This is where pre-event preparation pays off.
At this stage, any combat buffs your alliance has available should be active. If Last Asylum: Plague offers alliance-wide buff items or event-specific boosts, deploy them before wave 11. Don't save buffs for a wave that may not arrive — use them when you know they'll affect the most critical phase.
Members should be sending marches as fast as the 15-second cycle allows. No idle time. Every second a march sits in queue is a Blight that lives longer. Alliance leaders monitoring the event should call out if any member has gone inactive and redistribute target focus accordingly.
The 5-minute preparation phase before combat starts is not downtime. It is the most important coordination window in the entire event. Here is what your alliance should do during preparation:
Confirm active headcount. Count how many members are online and ready to send marches. If your count is significantly lower than expected, you may need to adjust your mental model of which difficulty your alliance can actually clear.
Assign wave commanders. Designate 2-3 members who will call targets during the combat phase. These should be your most experienced leaders — the ones who can track Blight HP, identify which targets are nearly dead, and redirect firepower efficiently.
Review spawn point locations. Blight spawn points appear during preparation. Map awareness matters — knowing where Blights will appear lets your alliance pre-position attention and avoid chasing targets across the territory.
Remind members of march mechanics. Fixed 15-second march and return. No benefit to being physically close to the alliance territory. Everyone participates equally regardless of position. Make sure every member understands this so no one sits out thinking they're "too far away."
If you're the R5 or R4 initiating Hunt Battle for your alliance, here is the coordination framework that competitive alliances should follow:
One week before the event: Survey your active roster. Count confirmed participants for the event window. Check average troop tiers and hero investment levels. Make the difficulty selection decision based on data, not optimism.
24 hours before: Announce the exact start time in alliance chat and any external channels (Discord, LINE, etc.). Confirm R5/R4 availability to initiate. Remind members that distance from alliance territory does not affect participation.
During preparation phase (5 minutes): Count active members. Assign wave commanders. Review Blight spawn positions. Ensure all members understand the 15-second march cycle and continuous deployment expectation.
During combat: Wave commanders call targets. Focus fire on one Blight at a time during mid and late waves. Monitor member activity — idle members cost the alliance kills. Deploy any available alliance buffs before wave 11.
After the event: Review total Blight kills, time remaining, and whether the difficulty selection was optimal. Adjust for the next cycle.
For alliances building toward Hunt Battle readiness, ensure your members are following the research priority guide and sanctuary upgrade path that produces the fastest troop progression.
Hunt Battle rewards alliance-wide coordination, which means every member's individual progression contributes to the collective result. The alliance that clears wave 15 isn't the one with one whale account — it's the one where 20+ accounts all have strong troop bases, invested heroes, and the research foundations to support them.
