Server time is assumed UTC unless overridden. Start-of-cycle times are localised to your device below.
Per-server drift. Because phases shift 4 hours earlier each day, the schedule you see today is not what you'll see tomorrow — check back at reset. If your server's Arms Race baseline doesn't match, set a custom offset below.

Enemy Buster Saturday · prep panel KB §09

The 4-VP day. Prep starts Friday night.

Saturday prep

Saturday alone is 4 VP — more than any 3 other days combined. A losing week can flip on Saturday if you show up prepped. Below is the checklist.

Friday-night checklist

  • Activate 24h shield after last training queue completes (Friday ~11pm server) — protects your city while you're not online during the Saturday scoring window.
  • Cash all trade trucks + secret tasks Friday night — those are 200k/150k pts on Tuesday, only 200k Sat if you hold them.
  • Empty barracks queue — troops in training don't fight. You want the max standing army for Saturday.
  • Refill stamina + drone-data caps — you'll spend them Saturday morning on radar & PvP.
  • Confirm your paired rival tag — Saturday has a 5× multiplier ONLY on rival-alliance kills. Post the tag in alliance chat.

Hero comp for PvP (Saturday)

  • Marshal: Kimberly (attack buff + shield break) OR Marcus (armor pen). Both legendary.
  • Vanguard: Molotov specialist (Nikola, Reagan) — first-strike DPS matters when you're hunting rival trucks.
  • Missile/Aircraft slot: Highest-rank hero with matching gear affix; missile carriers score higher per-troop in PvP.
  • Formation: Cavalry-heavy for chase & catch. Rival trucks flee — you need speed to catch them before they garrison.
  • Skill medals: Refresh all skills to max before Sat 00:00 server; medals used earlier in week don't refund.
Ready to plan — Saturday scoring window opens at 00:00 server on Sat.

Every-week strategic rules KB §08 · §09

  • Saturday alone = 4 VP — the single biggest swing of the week. Win it plus any 3 of Days 2-5 and you flip a losing week.
  • Tuesday Base Expansion is where banked speedups pay off — pre-queue upgrades, dump construction speedups Tuesday, points score on completion.
  • Points score on completion, not on speedup use. Start the queue BEFORE the day flips; dump speedups to finish it inside the window.
  • Arms Race "Gift Box" exploit — complete a building/research the day before, leave the reward unclaimed, open it during the matching Arms Race phase. Points fire on unwrap, not on timer completion.
  • Waterfall barracks training — stack multiple lower-tier queues, upgrade a barracks during Unit Progression phase to auto-promote all queued troops. Points score on the arrival level.
  • Arms Race overlap — when the VS Day theme matches the active Arms Race phase, the same action scores in both events. (Tuesday Base Expansion × City Building phase, Friday Total Mobilization × Unit Progression phase.)
  • Saturday Enemy Buster: 5× multiplier vs. your paired rival alliance. Kill their troops, not just anyone's.
