Scarlett is the Wings of Dawn Season 1 hero whose third skill provides seventy percent Shooter troop training speed for WoD-aligned units. She is a Warrior Battle Pass exclusive, she has exclusive equipment, and at five stars her training speed bonuses expand to reduce resource costs for Shooter training and apply to all troop types. For serious Wings of Dawn accounts, she is the Season 1 formation investment that the rest of the WoD lineup builds on top of.
This Last Z guide covers Scarlett's skill priority, the training speed passive mechanics, gear priority, and formation placement for serious Wings of Dawn accounts.
Why Scarlett's training speed passive is foundational for Wings of Dawn...
Shooter troop training in Last Z is the specific bottleneck that determines how fast a Wings of Dawn account can rebuild after combat losses, fill troop capacity after upgrades unlock new tiers, and maintain army size across sustained event weeks.
Scarlett's third skill provides seventy percent training speed for Shooter troops within her faction. At higher star levels, this expands and resource costs for training reduce. At five stars, the bonuses apply across all troop types rather than only WoD-specific Shooter units. The practical effect is not just faster training on any given day, it is a permanently lower time-per-troop that compounds across every training action the account takes from the moment the skill is active.
For accounts running through T9 and T10 Shooter training at competitive account levels, the training cycle time difference between an account with Scarlett's third skill maxed and one without is measurable in days per batch. Over a full SvS recovery cycle, the period between a major PvP event and the point where troop count is fully restored. The Scarlett advantage translates directly into readiness for the next event window.
She also has exclusive equipment, placing her in the same investment tier as Selena, Katrina, and Sophia. Her attack-type classification and competitive combat stats make her a genuine formation contributor. She is in the back row delivering damage while the training speed passive runs in the background.

Scarlett Skill Upgrade Priority for Competitive Players in Last Z Survival
The third skill is the first priority. Seventy percent Shooter training speed is the foundational passive that makes everything else Scarlett contributes to a WoD account possible. Every star breakpoint increases this value and eventually unlocks resource cost reductions for training. Get this moving immediately.
The first and second skills are the second priority cluster, developed in parallel to maintain Scarlett's combat contribution as a back-row DPS hero. She is an attack-type hero with real damage output. Her active skill and normal attack contribution matter for the formation's damage total, and leaving them underdeveloped while waiting for the third skill creates a formation hole in the back row.
The fourth skill rounds out her stat profile and expands the third skill's bonuses at five stars, making it the last priority once the first three are established.
Last Z Scarlett Gear Priority
Scarlett is an attack-type hero. The gear system in Last Z for attack heroes puts the weapon slot first: Attack Percentage on affixes, followed by helmet, armor, and boots in sequence. Orange gear only. Level 20 before promoting. All five hexagons for whale accounts. Mythic transformation: weapon first for attack-type hero.
Scarlett's training speed passive means every recovery period after a major event runs faster. Gear that keeps her in the formation and therefore keeps the training speed passive active, is gear that compounds the WoD account's entire rebuild cycle.
How Scarlett fits into formation placement and faction synergy...
Scarlett is a back-row DPS hero in Wings of Dawn formations. The front row is for Laura and Alma. The back row runs Scarlett, Liliana at S3, and the highest-priority WoD season hero available. Five Wings of Dawn heroes in the same formation activates the full faction deployment bonus: +5% troop ATK/DEF per hero and +10% troop capacity at full deployment.
Scarlett's training speed passive is always on regardless of formation position, but keeping her in the formation ensures the faction bonus and her combat contribution are also active simultaneously.
What five-star Scarlett enables...
At five stars, training speed bonuses expand to all troop types, resource cost reductions for training activate, and her attack and defense stats reach their ceiling. A five-star Scarlett with a maxed third skill running in a full WoD formation is the training infrastructure that keeps the account's Shooter army at full strength across an entire event calendar.
Last Z accounts that built Scarlett at Season 1 launch and pushed her third skill have been completing Shooter training cycles faster than comparable accounts ever since: more troops rebuilt per event week, faster recovery after losses, a formation at full strength when it matters.
Alliance Leader Playbook (Scarlett investment across your alliance)
Frame Scarlett as the WoD rebuild engine. The most effective alliance argument for Scarlett is the same as Katrina for Blood Rose: she is not the most impressive hero in combat but she is the infrastructure that makes competitive play sustainable.
After every kill event or SvS engagement, WoD accounts with Scarlett at high stars reach full Shooter strength faster than accounts without her. That rebuild speed is directly visible in event-week performance and directly invisible in power rankings, which is exactly why members underinvest.
Coordinate Battle Pass timing across WoD members. Scarlett is Warrior Battle Pass exclusive. For alliances where multiple WoD members are deciding whether to purchase, the members who run the most Shooter training cycles per week (highest HQ level, most active event participation) return the most value from her third skill.
For heavy spenders who already know the commitment, Whale+ gives you verified status on the Play Smarter Community Discord and access to a VIP channel exclusively for high-spending players and alliance leaders.
Last Z Scarlett Build FAQs...
What does Scarlett’s 70% Shooter training speed actually mean in practice?
Seventy percent training speed means Shooter troop batches that would normally take 100 units of time complete in approximately 59 units of time with Scarlett’s passive fully active. At high HQ levels where individual training runs may take hours, a seventy percent speed reduction is the difference between a training cycle that completes overnight versus one that extends into the following day. Across a full SvS recovery period, that reduction compounds into days of faster rebuild time.
Is Scarlett worth the Warrior Battle Pass cost for a Wings of Dawn account?
For serious Wings of Dawn accounts that engage in SvS, Versus Day, and kill events regularly, yes. Scarlett’s training speed passive is active continuously from the moment the third skill is upgraded. For accounts at HQ 20 and above where training cycles are the primary constraint on army rebuild speed, the passive return starts immediately and never stops.
Does Scarlett’s training speed stack with research bonuses?
Yes. Research nodes that provide training speed bonuses are additive with Scarlett’s passive. Accounts investing in both research training nodes and Scarlett’s third skill see the largest total training speed multiplier. Both sources compound together rather than one overwriting the other.
Should Scarlett be in the front row or back row?
Back row. Scarlett is an attack-type hero and belongs in one of the three back-row DPS positions in a Wings of Dawn formation. The front row is reserved for defense-type heroes: Laura and Alma in the optimal WoD lineup.
