Hey Survivors!
I’m Pronobs from Server 48, and today I’m back with another exciting post – this time, we’re diving deep into equipment strategy in Last Z Survival Shooter. I’m also thrilled to share that I’m on the verge of hitting the 100 million power milestone – currently sitting at 99.047 million. Let’s push to the elite club together!
🔧 1. Equipment Overview
Currently, there are four types of wearable gear in the game:
- Gun (Submachine Gun) – Focused on hero attack and damage dealt
- Helmet – Boosts attack, hero defense, and damage dealt
- Heavy Armor – Enhances hero defense and troop HP
- Power Boots – Offers a mix of hero attack, hero defense, and troop HP
Additionally, there’s a fifth, special equipment you can purchase via a $5 pack, usually available a month after its launch. Not free-to-play friendly yet, but possibly in future events.
🎯 2. Equipment Priority Order
✅ For Attackers:
Attack-focused gear should always come first. Here’s the recommended upgrade priority:
- Gun – Maximum hero attack and damage dealt
- Helmet – Moderate attack and defense boost
- Boots – Small attack boost + troop HP
- Armor – Defense and HP, less helpful in attack
Upgrade path for attackers: Gun → Helmet → Boots → Armor
🛡️ For Defenders:
Defense-focused gear helps with rally holds and survivability.
- Armor – Best defense and troop HP
- Boots – Balanced with decent defense
- Helmet – Slightly less defensive stats
- Gun – Least useful for defense
Upgrade path for defenders: Armor → Boots → Helmet → Gun
⭐ 3. Star Upgrade Strategy
Upgrading stars increases your gear’s power. But here’s the catch:
- Cost increases drastically with each upgrade.
- Start by upgrading every piece to 1-star, then move to 2-star across the board.
Why?
You’ll unlock bonuses like Damage Dealt + Troop HP, and spreading the upgrades ensures balanced growth.
💡 Focus on uniform star upgrades across your main 20 gear pieces (for 5 heroes).
🧠 4. Gear Allocation Strategy
Here’s how to smartly assign gear to your heroes:
Prioritize these hero types:
- S-grade (Orange) Heroes
- Heroes with exclusive gear you plan to purchase
- High DPS (Damage Per Second) heroes
If you don’t have enough S-grade heroes, it’s okay to use purple (A-grade) heroes temporarily, especially if they give squad bonuses (e.g., troop capacity boosts with Blood Rose heroes).
✅ Rule: Focus gear only on your main 5-hero team
🛠️ 5. Upgrade Milestone Guide
You can only promote a gear piece after reaching level 20.
So, the process is:
- Upgrade gear to level 20
- Unlock the Promote feature
- Promote using Power Cores (starting at 100–300+ depending on level)
Only orange gear (S-quality) can be promoted.
Avoid wasting resources on purple, blue, or green gear for long-term progress.
🌱 6. Tips for New Accounts
Starting fresh? Here’s what to do:
- Focus on just one 5-hero team
- Upgrade only 20 pieces of gear (5 each of gun, helmet, armor, boots)
- Don’t scatter upgrades – concentrate on your main team’s growth
- Save materials by not upgrading gear on unused heroes (like temporary purple heroes)
🎁 7. Where to Get Gear Promotion Materials
- Alliance Duel Event
- Tyrant and Pharaoh’s Secret event
- Weekly Shop purchases
Be strategic – prioritize core materials like Power Cores and Enhancement Alloys for your top 20 gears.
🧭 8. General Tips for Progression
- Upgrade gear evenly across heroes to maximize battle strength
- Upgrade only the equipment equivalent to the best 5 heroes in your march
- Use events like Hero Upgrade Day to make bulk upgrades
- Keep an eye out for gear packs if you’re a spender
