SvS Prep Guide: What to Save and When to Spend

Before The Prep Window

• Build one score sheet before the prep phase starts so you can shift resources without losing track.
• Separate construction, training, research, and equipment score instead of calling everything “speedups”.
• Know which days your state expects strong contribution and which days are flexible.

Five-Day Pacing Decisions

• Use the SvS prep calculator as the main worksheet and import totals from the supporting tools.
• Hold premium resources until you know whether they complete a real threshold.
• Treat Day 1 construction and late-phase research as separate strategy problems.

SvS Limits And Failure Modes

• Do not spend rare materials on the wrong day just because you have enough to move one number.
• Do not assume alliance leadership will keep the same score request after the event starts.
• Do not ignore carry-in score that is already available from planned upgrades.

Day 1: City Construction

• The highest-priority Day 1 spend is building work: Fire Crystals, Refined Fire Crystals, construction speedups, Fire Crystal Shards, and research speedups.
• Chief charm score also fits here once that progression era is unlocked.
• Troop and expert-skill speedups can still score, but they are usually weaker filler than true construction resources.

Day 2: Research Day

• Day 2 is where research speedups, Fire Crystal Shards, Expert Sigils, Books of Knowledge, Lucky Wheel spins, and hero shards belong.
• Gathering is also part of Research Day, so send marches before reset and make sure the returns land during Day 2.
• Construction, troop, and expert-skill speedups still work as fallback spend if your better research resources are already committed.

Day 3: Beast Slay

• Day 3 centers on beast kills, Polar Terror rallies, pet advancement, and both Common and Advanced Wild Marks.
• Lucky Wheel, hero shards, Books of Knowledge, Expert Sigils, and later charm score can still be routed here when needed.
• Prepare stamina, Gina, auto-hunt settings, and alliance rally coverage before reset so the day is spent scoring instead of setting up.

Day 4: Hero Development

• Day 4 is the hero-material spike: Essence Stones, widget materials, Mithril, and later charm score.
• Troop training remains part of the practical Day 4 plan, especially when queues were started earlier so they finish on the correct reset.
• Use this day to cash in the training preparation you staged on Day 2 or Day 3.

Day 5: Power Boost

• Day 5 is the mixed-resource cleanup push: pet advancement, Wild Marks, Chief Gear score, Essence Stones, widgets, Mithril, Fire Crystals, Fire Crystal Shards, and every major Speedup type.
• This is the right place for leftover construction, research, troop, and expert materials that were held for a final burst.
• Keep the SvS prep calculator open while you spend so the last-day push stays coordinated instead of turning into several disconnected guesses.
