Looting

By Dreads ·

Attack other alliances and take their resources by force — the most effective way to gather in the game.

Quick Overview

  1. Scout (optional)
  2. Teleport to target alliance
  3. Scout targets methodically
  4. Attack
  5. Max 3 attacks per HQ — never hit below 50% health
  6. Return to your HQ after each hit
  7. Watch your daily loot limit
  8. Play smart
  9. Return to your own hive
  10. Looting complete
Warning: You cannot shield for 10 minutes after attacking another player's HQ.

Step 1 — Pre-Scout (Optional)

Before teleporting anywhere, scout 2–3 players in different alliance hives from your current position. This gives you an early indication of which alliances might have resources or troops worth targeting.

You can send up to 3–4 scouts at once. On your world map, the icon above your 3 formations (right edge of screen) lets you switch to viewing your active scouts.

Step 2 — Teleport

Pick your target alliance and teleport over using an Advanced Teleporter. Aim for the centre of the hive, but think carefully about exactly where you land and what level the surrounding HQs are. You can also land in the space between two alliances if they're close enough.

Step 3 — Scout Methodically

Scout all nearby bases in small groups so you can easily track who you've already checked. Work through the reports starting from the bottom of the list (Mail → Reports).

You're looking for HQs that have:

  • High food, wood and zent
  • Low electricity (preferably)
  • Troops at least 1–2 tiers lower than yours
Tip: Generally avoid hitting anyone at the same HQ level as you, to avoid unnecessary troop losses.

Step 4 — Attack

Select your chosen target based on the scout report and press attack. Ideally, send only your strongest formation. This is the most fuel-efficient method and keeps more troops defending your HQ in case of a counter-attack. You'll get the most resources per load thanks to higher troop count and troop load.

Short on time? Sending 3 formations at once is faster, but you'll take more troop losses overall.

Step 5 — The Rules

  • Maximum 3 attacks on the same HQ per day
  • Never hit an HQ once its health drops below 50%

This is a server-wide rule — respected by all.

Step 6 — Return After Each Hit

After each attack, your formation must return to your HQ to drop off the gathered resources. Troops can only carry so much at once, based on troop count and troop load.

Step 7 — Daily Loot Limit

All players have a daily loot limit based on their HQ level. To check yours:

  1. Open the report you receive after an attack
  2. At the top, it shows how many resources you got
  3. Near the top right, tap the small icon to open a tab
  4. Your current loot amount and daily limit are shown at the top

Step 8 — Play Smart

Smaller alliances are getting better at the game and will sometimes fight back. If the counter-attack is overwhelming, it may be best to move on and make a note to come back when you're stronger. At some point it may stop being worth staying if you're losing troops.

Tip: Consider travelling in a pair or a three if you're new to looting. Just ask in alliance chat — there's usually someone who can come with you.

Step 9 — Return Home

Once you've hit your daily loot limit or run out of time, use an Alliance Teleporter to get back to your hive. These are significantly cheaper than Advanced Teleporters — make sure you use the right one!
