Last War Survival VIP Showdown: Is Pushing Higher Worth It?

You unlock VIP in Last War Survival and the perks start stacking. Faster builds, bigger marches, more resources flowing in every hour… it feels like you’ve found the secret engine behind top players.

‍

Then you peek at the next VIP bar and realize just how steep the climb gets. Gems vanish fast, and suddenly the question hits: is it worth pushing higher, or should you stop and spend elsewhere?

‍

That’s exactly what this guide is here to answer. We’ll break down how the VIP system works in Last War, which levels actually matter, and how to get the most value out of your gems and packs without wasting them.

‍

‍

How VIP System Works in Last War Survival

‍

The system looks simple on the surface but trips a lot of players up.

‍

There are actually two layers to it:

‍

1. VIP Level is permanent. You raise this with VIP points (from the daily chest, alliance gifts, or gems). Higher level means stronger perks unlocked.

‍

2. VIP Status is temporary. Even if you’re level 11, none of those buffs are active until you activate VIP for 1, 7, or 30 days. You can use gems, or grab the monthly pass which adds extra goodies like stamina and a 4th squad.

‍

That’s why sitting at VIP 5 but forgetting to activate is the same as being VIP 0—you’re not getting the speed boosts or bonuses unless your status is on.

‍

Which VIP Levels Actually Matter?

‍

For casual players, VIP 3 and 5 are nice early checkpoints. At 3 you finally unlock faster builds (+10%) and extra block clears, while 5 adds better crafting speed and the famous “shake to collect.” Helpful, sure but these are appetizers.

‍

The real VIP system is built for whales. The deeper you climb, the more the game shifts in your favor. Let’s break down the levels where spending actually changes your account.

‍

VIP 8: Efficiency on Autopilot

‍

This is the first level where whales stop grinding and start flying:

‍

• +20% food, iron, and gold production keeps your base fat with resources.
  
  
• +10% march speed shaves hours off daily runs.
  
  
• Auto mode for Honorable Campaign stages = zero grind, all rewards.

‍

For mid-to-high spenders, VIP 8 is basically the “buy-in” point for efficiency. It’s where you start playing the game faster than everyone else.

‍

‍

VIP 11: Builder’s Paradise

‍

At VIP 11, your account hits a whole new gear: +50% construction speed and +15% research speed.

‍

If you’ve ever groaned at those week-long timers, this is the fix. For serious players rushing tech and HQ upgrades, VIP 11 is one of the sharpest power spikes in the game.

‍

VIP 15: PvP Turbocharger

‍

This one is all about armies and healing: +10% training speed (on top of earlier perks), and +20% healing boost carried over from VIP 14.

‍

If you’re deep into PvP, this level is gold.

‍

Faster queues + faster healing = you’re back on the map hours before your opponents. Rally leads and war whales treat this level as non-negotiable.

‍

‍

VIP 18: The Prestige Level

‍

The summit. Painful to reach, but packed with flex value:

‍

• +12.5% hero HP, ATK, and DEF: flat stat boosts across every squad.
  
  
• Exclusive custom base skin, designed with the devs. Pure prestige, pure bragging rights.

‍

Let’s be clear: only true whales hit 18. The stat boost is strong, but the real prize is that custom skin, the kind of thing that makes you instantly recognizable on any server.

‍

How to Climb VIP Faster Without Burning Out

‍

Getting to the juicy levels (11, 15, 18) isn’t just about tossing gems blindly. The VIP system has a few tricks that make the climb smoother, especially if you know where the free points hide.

‍

• Daily VIP Chest. This one’s a no-brainer. Log in, tap it, and you’re getting up to 200 VIP points a day for free. Miss it, and you’re literally throwing away progress.

‍

• Alliance Gifts. When someone in your guild buys a premium pack, you get a slice. It’s not game-changing on its own, but over months it adds up. The higher your alliance gift level, the fatter those slices become.

‍

• Gems = VIP Points (1 gem = 1 VIP point). You can dump up to 2,500 at once. This is where whales sprint, since gems translate directly into levels. But if you’re dropping gems, make sure you’re climbing during rebate or milestone events for max return.

‍

• Monthly Pass. If you’re activating VIP anyway, the monthly subscription is worth considering. It unlocks a fourth march slot, adds +10% gathering, reduces monster damage, and gives you daily stamina + gems. It’s basically efficiency in a bundle.

‍

‍

The VIP Store: Where Top Players Double Dip

‍

One of the most underrated perks in the game is the VIP Store. A lot of players overlook it or think it only matters when their VIP status is active, but the truth is you don’t need to have VIP turned on. As long as you’ve unlocked the level, the store is there.

‍

Every Monday it refreshes, and the lineup is usually stacked with things you’d end up buying anyway: speedups for those never-ending timers, legendary recruitment tickets, stamina refills, hero XP, and even resource packs to keep your base topped up.

‍

The big difference is that instead of paying full gem price in the regular shop, the VIP Store gives you the exact same items at heavy discounts, sometimes as high as 80% off.

‍

For whales, this turns into a weekly ritual. You log in, clear out the best deals, and walk away knowing you’ve saved thousands of gems on stuff you would’ve bought regardless.

‍

And here’s where it gets even smarter: the gems you don’t spend here can be funneled right back into VIP points, pushing you closer to those milestone levels like 11, 15, or even the elusive 18.

‍

It’s a loop that feeds itself: the higher your VIP level, the better the store becomes, and the better the store becomes, the faster you climb VIP.

‍

That’s why whales who know the system treat the VIP Store as a non-negotiable stop every single week. It’s not just about saving gems, it’s about stretching your progress further than the guy next to you who ignores it.
