The Strike First event is the premier onboarding sprint for new servers and starting commanders in Last Asylum: Plague. Triggered immediately upon account creation, it serves as your primary growth accelerator during Week 1: completing foundational milestones awards an abundance of free diamonds, speedups, recruit tickets, and hero shards.
🎯 Event Overview & Task Structure
Strike First functions as a tiered milestone checklist tied directly to your Sanctuary progression and early-game combat preparedness:
-
Sanctuary Milestones:
- Upgrading your Sanctuary to Lv.5, 8, 10, 12, and 15.
- Each milestone unlocks massive caches of free diamonds, building speedups, and essential resources.
-
Blight Purge (Monster Hunts):
- Eliminating roaming undead mutants and Blight Walkers on the world map.
- Yields research speedups, Raven essence, and hospital recovery supplies.
-
Military Mobilization:
- Training tier 1, 2, and 3 troops (T1–T3).
- Expanding barracks capacity and unlocking additional march slots.
-
Tavern Recruitment:
- Spending Normal and Advanced Recruitment Tickets.
- Unlocking foundational heroes (Celia, Bella, Arthur).
-
Arena of Fate Debut:
- Participating in server-wide arena duels to establish an early PvP ranking.
🎁 Milestone Rewards
Full completion of Strike First delivers game-changing starter value:
- Diamonds: 5,000+ free diamonds.
- Advanced Recruitment Tickets: 20+ tickets for Tavern summons.
- Hero Shards: Fragments for UR Arthur (tank) and SSR Celia (support).
- Speedup Bundles: Tens of hours in universal, building, and research speedups.
- Antitoxin Reserves: Crucial serum to elevate your core carry’s level immediately.
⚠️ 4 Fatal Beginner Mistakes to Avoid
1. Blowing Free Diamonds on Standard Tavern Pulls
The single biggest mistake new players make is dumping free diamonds into standard recruit pulls. Do not do this. On Day 8 of your server, Cynthia’s Lucky Wheel arrives — an S-tier ranger carry requiring banked diamonds. Only pull using free tickets; hoard diamonds for the Wheel and VIP progression.
2. Disorganized Construction Queues
Do not waste building queues on vanity upgrades or unnecessary resource plots. Always inspect the prerequisite buildings for the next Sanctuary level (typically Wall + Research Lab or Wall + Barracks) and upgrade strictly along the critical path.
3. Wasting Stamina Outside Event Windows
Only hunt the specific monster tiers required to trigger milestone completions. Conserve remaining stamina for double-dipping opportunities.
4. Premature PvP Raiding
Attacking neighboring player bases during Week 1 fills your Infirmary with wounded troops, consumes valuable healing food, and stalls Sanctuary upgrades. Keep your peace shield active and focus entirely on PvE development.
📋 Quick Start Checklist
- Unlock the second builder queue immediately.
- Maintain 24/7 research queues focused on the “Base Development” tree.
- Keep barracks constantly training troops in manageable batches.
- Join an active Top-5 alliance: member assistance taps shave off hours of construction timers.
- Claim all Strike First milestone rewards before the event timer expires.
