🗓 Updated: 2026-10-12

Most mobile strategy games seem deceptively simple at first glance: upgrade buildings, level heroes, and tap buttons with red dots. However, beneath the surface of Last Asylum: Plague lies a sophisticated mathematical engine with dozens of unwritten rules that the game never explains.

Survivors who understand these mechanics progress 2 to 3 times faster, never lose their army to surprise midnight raids, and consistently defeat opponents with 30–50% higher Might. Below is the curated compendium of non-obvious rules, hidden nuances, and battle-tested tactics used by top alliance veterans.

So, guys, I have played this game for 7 months and today we're going to discuss my top five regrets that I didn't do from the start of this game. Uh you guys
know what to do. If you like these contents, smash that like, hit that subscribe, and let's get straight into it. So, of course, my first regret is
that what I do at the start of this game, I have bought these curio chest instead of going straight for the gear blueprints. So, if
you're a new player, uh don't do the same thing. Save up your honor coins or honor tokens and start buying these gear blueprints and never ever buy the gear
curio chest or the UR hero uni shards uh whatsoever. You only want to buy the gear blueprints cuz these will really help your account. Up to my second
help your account. Up to my second mistake.
My second mistake uh was as followed.
Um I have pushed a lot of my UR shards into uh Arthur and that was really uh bad one to do cuz you really want to show use your UR shards only for Milena
to get her to the 10 red stars cuz she is going to carry your warrior squad all through the first 30 to 60 days. And, of course, the other uh thing I did here
was uh I invested into all my stuff in the warrior squads when I should have really went straight for the ranger squads to
really uh get ahead of the pack. So, uh for you guys that are going to start and you're going to be a medium spender, get
those ranger squad heroes and you can ignore the warriors. Only Milena is worth upgrading here. So, my third mistake that I did was I started really
late with the smelting workshops. So, uh my advice is to really don't ignore the smelting workshops.
Get them uh to level 25 as soon as you can to really start upgrading your gear as well and to really get into it.
And of course, we are not stopping with the gear. The fourth mistake uh that I made uh was upgrading the wrong gears and also really spending a lot of my uh
gear stones on purple gear. Uh of course, that was that was a mistake. You should always focus on the right gear for the right hero. For DPS, it's swords
and gloves and the boots. And for the tanks, it's going to be the chest plate and the boots only. You don't want to invest into gloves or sword. Some tanks
do require good gloves, but that's it.
And uh you don't definitely don't want to upgrade the sword for the tanks. That is not necessary.
And of course, uh what everyone did when they started playing is upgrading uh the wrong hero skills. There are some purple
hero skills that you can upgrade like Ash uh focus to increase the damage done to world boss. And uh Cecilia uh for some extra resources you get from
uh for some extra resources you get from uh world bosses as well.
But you don't want to upgrade anything else from the purple heroes. You really want to focus your skill stones on the UR heroes and definitely on the
UR heroes and definitely on the Marlena um of course and uh Cynthia, the main DPS. So, you want to start uh spending your skill stones on that and what you
don't want to do is upgrade skills like attack skills for your tanks cuz that's not necessary.

Hey guys, what's up? Corpus Gaming here, and today we're going to talk about the shopping list for Lost Asylum, what you want to buy weekly, and how to really
improve in your free-to-play progress.
At the end of the video, I will also have some suggestions for the whale players on what to buy in the VIP shop, and where to really focus on. You know
what to do. If these guys are helping you, hit that subscribe button, smash that like button, and let's dive into that like button, and let's dive into it.
Now, at what we're going to buy first in the Sanctuary shop, and you want to get these Raven Essences. You want to get all of them.
And secondly, you want to get the UR And secondly, you want to get the UR shards.
And then you have the gear stones that you want to buy, and I cannot buy everything yet, but at the end of this week, I will be able to catch all of
these. This is basically what you want to get from the Sanctuary shop.
And next up is the Expedition shop, and what we want to get here. And I'm going to show you guys. All right. For the Expedition tokens, we need to do the
Expedition battles, and you can find them in the watchtower, and we are going to just do a quick challenge right here.
Just going to show you right off the bat how this is going to be done. And here we go. And here we have the Expedition tokens and some other great stuff to
improve in your account. And that is it about how to get the Expedition tokens.
Okay, this is the Expedition shop. We got our Expedition tokens, and now we're going to buy our stuff that we need. We want to get our Raven Essences first.
Let's buy it. We want to get the UR Let's buy it. We want to get the UR shards.
We want to get the gear stones.
Get the African chests.
And we want to get both of them.
And this is also really high need for the Alliance duel. We got want to get these shards cuz we need them as a free-to-play player. We got want to get
the Raven chest, and at last, if you have leftovers, you want to get these Expedition chests as well. As as you can see, I've just bought everything I need,
and I still have a lot of backup tokens ready for next week.
Now we go over to the honor shop to buy the gear blueprints. You only want to buy these gear blueprints. I've collected a lot of honor coins
uh so I can really upgrade another store on my sword, get it to four stars, which is really amazing. And now we continue off to the alliance shop.
Here we are at the alliance shop and here we really want to buy a lot of stuff and you really need to pick and choose what you want to buy and how you
want to really spend your tokens. I'm going to show you guys where to collect these uh tokens right now and there are multiple ways to do this.
So you really want to make sure that you donate uh every few hours to your alliance to really push those numbers up.
And as you can see they go up around 1K now and I have only did like uh 10 donations. I also try to push a little bit on these diamonds and go around 20
diamonds max. Maybe sometimes I go around uh 30 and that's about it for this one. And this I do on a daily basis and then you can get around 180K. That's
not enough for uh uh the weekly buy but yeah, this is it and you can also get some with uh the events and those are right here. Now is
Cecilia hunting day which also is a good chance for us to get some of these alliance uh tokens to buy the stuff we alliance uh tokens to buy the stuff we need.
Okay, we are in the alliance shop and we are going to buy the stuff we need and it's going to be as followed. First, we want to do the the raven essence cuz
these are most important for me. And second, I want to get uh you are shards.
I want to get uh some shields for kingdom versus kingdom so I can not be zeroed after reset. So I'm going to buy zeroed after reset. So I'm going to buy one.
Here we go.
And then I want to go all the way down.
And at the moment, I'm already maxed out with my buildings. So, for me, I'm only going to buy these uh alliance speed research. So, you really
also want to see in where you want to invest in. If you are still building to get to level 30 sanctuary, you want to buy speed-ups for buildings. If you are
already at level 30, just buy the research speed-ups. And maybe if you need the troops, you can buy these, but I don't recommend it. I would wait off
on that one to really get the shields, the the Raven essence, the UR shards.
And what you can also buy, these ones are free, of course, so we are going to take them. We're going to take the Raven gear cuz we need a lot of those. We want
to get the African chest. And we want to get these skill books. And as you can see, I've bought everything I need for this week to survive. And everything
that's going to be extra, I will buy.
And maybe I will save up for next week to really uh get the circle going, you know, and keep on buying the stuff I need to improve my
account. And this this differs from everyone uh in what uh phase they are in the game.
Okay, this is the VIP shop, and this is basically only for the wheels and what they are going to buy. At first, we want to buy the stamina potions cuz you need
a lot of them also for kingdom versus kingdom war. Uh you want to get the Raven essence. You want to get the antitoxins. If you have a lot of
diamonds, you want to buy both of them.
Uh you want to get those speed-ups cuz they are universal, so you can use them for everything you want. But you mainly need them for your research to get the
higher tier troops and to save up some money for other things. And what you also can buy are the UR shards. I am not heavy pay to win, so I'm just going to
buy them also cuz I need a lot of them.
And that's it for this video. I hope you guys liked it. And if you want more to more of these guides and play-throughs, uh hit that subscribe button so you keep

❓ FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best F2P team in Last Asylum: Plague?

The canonical F2P squad is Arthur, Daskal, Marlena, Harper, Claire (all Warriors — mono-faction gives +20% HP/ATK/DEF). Arthur is free from day 1; the $1 Marlena top-up is considered the best value in the game. Daskal arrives in the first Era of Revival season (day 120+).

What should I upgrade first?

Sanctuary first, always — it gates every other building and your hero level cap. Then Training Grounds, Barracks, Research Lab, Infirmary, Wall. Keep the Builder’s Hut at Sanctuary level until Sanctuary 15 for free construction speedups.

When does Marlena unlock?

Day 66 for free — or immediately via the $1 starter top-up. Save UR shards so she lands at 8★ right away, then push 10★.

How do I get Cynthia as F2P?

Cynthia arrives via the Wishing Wheel on day 8. Save diamonds from day 1 (skip everything else) — ~11,500 diamonds total, and always spin ×10 (single spins waste tokens).

How do I get antitoxin?

Antitoxin Workshop + Stable production, every building upgrade completion, Falcon Quests (nearly all of them), Covert Ops and Caravan Trade (including plundering others’ ops — up to 5/day), and Blight/Elite Blight hunts (10/20 stamina). Events pay large amounts.

Why did my plunder income drop to almost nothing?

You hit the daily plunder limit: below the limit 100%, from 1× the limit you keep only 15%, from 1.3× only 5%. It resets at 02:00 UTC. The limit scales with Sanctuary level (2.5M at Lv.10–12 up to 30M at Lv.30) and rises immediately when you upgrade Sanctuary. A yellow triangle under your Might shows the status.

What should I buy in the shops?

Sanctuary/Expedition/Alliance shops: Crow Essence and UR Hero Omnifragments first. Honor shop is for gear blueprints only (never epigraph chests there). All shops restock Monday.

Are diamonds worth spending on speedups?

Only the VIP-shop 8h speedups are considered acceptable purchases — and only after hero resources. Community rule: never dump diamonds into speedups over hero wheel events (Cynthia day 8, Joker after day 15).

What faction should I build?

Warriors are the best early game (free Arthur/Harper shards, $1 Marlena). Rangers peak mid game (counter Warriors). Warlocks are the best late game but need heavy long-term investment. Mono-faction (5 heroes of one type) is the current meta because UR epigraphs buff a single faction.

How does Claire SSR→UR conversion work?

Opens on Era Day 8. She lands at 6★ and the run to 10★ costs 1,600 SSR shards (each substage costs 2× the SSR price). There’s a team-buff dip between 6★–9★ — skip it by banking Hall of Honor levels before converting (Lv.60→8★, Lv.100→9★, Lv.160→instant 10★).

How do I redeem gift codes?

In-game: Avatar (top-left) → Settings → Gift Code. iOS or web: log in at the official redemption page with your linked Facebook/Google account, pick server and character, enter the code.

What are the biggest beginner mistakes?

Upgrading everything equally instead of one main squad; judging heroes before high stars (Marlena is the classic late bloomer); splitting Awakening materials across heroes; wasting gems on VIP levels over hero wheels; skipping daily plunder (~27M resources/day); letting stamina cap.
