If you’ve played even one Oil Clash event in Tiles Survive, you already know this event isn’t about “who hits hardest.” It’s about timing, positioning, and using your daily attempts with surgical precision.
If your alliance plays this event casually, stronger or more organized teams will lock you out of conflict zones before you even start scoring.
This guide breaks down strategies that help top alliances secure more oil per minute, waste fewer attempts, and push enemy alliances back into their bubble.
Let’s get into it...
Your budget gives you options — these strategies show you where to deploy that power so you stay ahead of every server cycle.
5 Strategic Moves That Give Whales the Edge in Oil Clash
These are the core mechanics high performers use every single day of the event. Assume your alliance has multiple spenders and you’re coordinating them, not just playing solo.
1. Secure Per-Minute Income Early (Morning = Setup Phase)
The biggest misunderstanding players have about Oil Clash is thinking the event is about early aggression. It’s the opposite...
Your first job of the day is to garrison key locations and lock in the per-minute oil income that snowballs throughout the 24-hour cycle.
Here’s what matters:
- Barrels → +2 points/min
- Cranes → +1 point/min
- Locations with multiple structures scale extremely fast when fully garrisoned
- Early garrisons force weaker alliances to think twice before committing attempts
Whales treat the morning like a setup window, not a damage window.
If you attack early, you wake up the enemy and spark a counter-war that drains your alliance’s attempts before they even become meaningful. If you garrison first, you secure half the day’s score just by existing on the map.
Morning = stabilize. Evening = score.
If you’re leading an alliance with 5–10 spenders, assign “income captains” for the morning so whale accounts focus on locking barrels/cranes instead of wasting premium marches on random early fights.
2. Save Your Attacks for the Final 5–8 Hours
Oil Clash attempts are a limited resource, and they’re the real win condition.
Strong alliances don’t waste attacks at noon just to “win a skirmish.” They wait until the final 5–8 hours of the day, when:
- the enemy has already burned their attempts
- tiles they’re defending no longer matter
- they can’t swing the score even if they try
- you can control multiple locations uncontested
This window is where whales generate the majority of their daily score, because every successful attack pushes the enemy further behind in a period when they simply cannot respond.
If you’ve ever wondered why top alliances look “quiet all day” and then explode at night — this is why.
As a whale, your attempts are worth more than the average player’s — treat them like a finisher, not an opener, and only spend them when your R4/R5 calls a coordinated push in this final window.
3. Focus Attacks on High-Value Towers (Most Teams Waste 50% of Their Points)
Not all towers are equal, and this is where casual teams hemorrhage points.
Oil value → determines points per attack:
- Small towers → ~3,000 points
- Medium → ~6,000 points
- Large → ~10,000 points
A player who spends all attempts on small towers will always fall behind a player who hits only large towers, even if both have the same power and activity.
Whales evaluate every target through one lens:
“How many points does this attack generate?”
If your team spreads attempts across low-value rigs, you are donating thousands of daily points to the enemy.
Align attempts on high-value targets, and your score curve spikes dramatically.
4. Prioritize Strategic Nodes Over Pure Oil Value
One of the highest impact from Oil Clash is understanding that map control matters more than oil per tile.
Some rigs have:
- four entry points
- multiple paths branching behind them
- or connections that unlock entire regions of the map
These are strategic nodes, and controlling one is often worth more than controlling three isolated high-oil tiles.
These nodes matter because they cut enemy routes, open new attack paths, isolate alliances in their bubble, and let you secure conflict zones with fewer daily attempts.
This is why top alliances sometimes ignore a 480-oil rig and push aggressively for a 300-oil one instead — because the route it controls determines the next 48 hours of the war.
If a tile opens new territory or closes enemy rotation lanes, it becomes priority #1.
Whale marches are the best tools for cracking these strategic nodes — as an alliance leader, call your biggest spenders to these fights first, even if the raw oil number looks lower on paper.
5. Use Ship Bonuses to Win More Fights
A properly leveled ship gives huge advantages in Oil Clash:
- +% troop damage
- +% damage reduction
- + hospital capacity
- + faster training
- free heals
- passive enemy wounded increase
- passive self-wounded reduction
These bonuses mean your garrisons hold longer, your counterattacks hit harder, and your alliance burns far fewer resources during long conflicts.
In events where every attempt counts and every troop matters, these passive ship boosts create a noticeable gap between whales and mid-spenders, even when they share the same marches.
If you’re investing in your account, leveling the ship is one of the highest-impact upgrades for Oil Clash performance.
