From Capital Clash mechanics to reward breakdowns and scoring tactics, this guide covers everything you need to know to lead your state to victory.

Let’s dive into the full structure, rules, and pro tips that can help your server become the next State Ruler!

Rules

Event Overview

The Cross-State Capital Clash is a 1v1 competition between States, where the winner is determined by capturing the opponent’s Capital. 4-8 States are matched into a group for a 2-3 week battle until a champion State is crowned!

Becoming the champion is no easy feat- it takes the president’s leadership to unite all the state forces!

Event Rules

States within a group are matched randomly, and the winning State advances to the next round, facing other winners until a champion is crowned.

Matching Rules

Winners are matched with winners, and losers are matched with losers. Victory is achieved by capturing the enemy State’s Capital.

Event Phases

Sunday to Friday: States compete for points by winning in various events to increase their state score.

Invaders and Defenders: At the end of Friday Apocalypse Time, the side with the higher state score becomes the invader, and the lower-scoring side becomes the defender.

Capital Clash

Starting Saturday, the invader can teleport to the defender’s state to attack their capital and contest ownership. The rules for cross-state capital contests follow the same format: during the contest period, the state that reaches 100% progress successfully occupies the capital. If no state succeeds in capturing the capital by the end of the contest period, the capital belongs to the state with the highest occupation progress.

If the invader wins, 2 new official positions will be granted. Once the capital is captured, many diamond mines will spawn within its range, and only the winning side can gather them. For survivors within the same state, unity and cooperation are essential!

Match Info

🔥 State Ruler Event: How the Matchmaking Works

The State Ruler event is one of the most exciting parts of the game — a true test of teamwork, power, and strategy across servers. Understanding how matchmaking works is key to preparing for victory.

🛡️ Server Matchmaking Overview

During the Matching Period, 4 servers are grouped to compete in a two-round elimination format. These matches will decide which server walks away as the State Ruler champion and which falls short.

⚔️ Round 1: Random Matchups

All four servers face off in two randomly assigned matches.

The winners of Round 1 advance to compete for the 1st and 2nd positions.
The losers of Round 1 move into a separate match to determine 3rd and 4th place.

This means every battle matters — winning Round 1 puts you one step away from the crown.

🏆 Round 2: Final Standings Decided

Round 2 is where final placements are locked in:

Round 1 winners face each other for the State Ruler title (1st place) and runner-up (2nd place).
Round 1 losers battle for 3rd and 4th place, fighting for honor and ranking.

So, no team is eliminated early — all four servers get two matches, and every match directly influences their final position.

⚠️ Summary:

4 servers matched during the event.
Round 1: Random matchups.
Round 2:
- Winners vs. Winners → 1st & 2nd place
- Losers vs. Losers → 3rd & 4th place

Both rounds are crucial, whether you’re aiming for the crown or defending your pride. Rally with your alliances, sharpen your tactics, and prepare for war — your server’s glory is on the line.

🛡️ Last Z: Survival Shpoter- Preparation Phase Guide – How to Gain Points and Become the Invader

The Preparation Phase in Last Z: Survival Shooter decides who will gain the upper hand in the State Ruler by becoming the Invader. Points are earned through individual, alliance, and state efforts. The server with the highest total score gets to invade the opponent’s territory.

🔹 Individual Points – Personal Glory, State Pride

Earn individual points in the following ways:

🥇 Rank 1 in Alliance Duel (Daily) – 6,000 points
🏆 Champion in [Full Preparedness] – 500 points
⚔️ Champion in [Arena] – 20,000 points
🚛 Successfully Plunder an Enemy State Truck – 100 points

🔸 Alliance Points – Strength in Unity

Your alliance earns points by:

🤝 Winning the Alliance Duel – 30,000 points

🔺 State Points – Collective Power

💥 The total damage dealt by the top 200 players on Furylord on each server will contribute to the State Points, with the highest damage dealer – 30,000 points

🧮 Example: Final Calculation – Server A vs Server B

Let’s compare two states:

Category	Server A (Winning)	Server B (Losing)
Rank 1 in Alliance Duel (Daily)	12,000	6,000
Full Preparedness Champion	500	500
Arena Champion	40,000	20,000
Enemy Truck Plunder Success	100	300
Alliance Duel Victory	30,000	0
State Top 200 Damage Contribution	90,000	90,000
Total Points	172,600	116,800

🏆 Result: Server A Becomes the Invader

Since Server A has the highest total score (86,600 points), it becomes the Invader.

Server A (Invader) can:

Capture the enemy throne
Attack any unshielded player, gathering troops and tanks on Server B

Server B (Defender):

Can only attack if server A players enter Server B
Cannot go and attack server B players.

✅ Final Notes

Encourage strong individual participation
Focus on winning the Alliance Duel
Make sure your top players deal maximum damage

🔥 The Preparation Phase is more than just warm-up—it’s the foundation for domination.
