Play Now: War Master

A 10-Year Strategy Gamer’s Step-by-Step Progression Manual

Introduction

As a player with over ten years of experience in strategy and battle games, this guide will help you steadily progress through every stage of War Master — from your very first Soldier Camp upgrade to unlocking Tanks, managing silver-coin economy, using nukes and helicopters effectively, and capturing the flag to advance to the next round.

This complete guide explains:

• How to efficiently upgrade Soldier Camps

• How silver coins are generated and recycled

• When to unlock the Armory

• How to upgrade Tank Camps to Level 5

• How nukes and helicopters work on 5-minute cooldown

• What to prioritize in each progress round

• How the “multi-round reset system” works

1. Game Start — Upgrade the Soldier Camp First

At the start of each round, you have no pressure or enemy interference.
Your first and only correct action is:

Upgrade one Soldier Camp and begin producing soldiers immediately.

The Soldier Camp determines:

• Soldier Level

• Soldier Production Speed

For most players, the most important rule in early development is:

Push Soldier Camp to Level 2 as soon as possible.

Reaching Level 2 allows you to unlock the Armory, which is crucial for mid-game combat.

2. Producing Soldiers — Understanding the Silver Coin Loop

After upgrading the Soldier Camp, start generating soldiers.

In War Master:

• Killing enemies generates Gold (used solely for leveling up)

• Your fallen soldiers return Silver Coins

This is the foundation of the entire economy:

Silver Coins = refunded when your soldiers die.
Bigger battles = more casualties = more silver.

This loop accelerates your entire base development.

3. First Battle — Gold for Leveling, Silver for Development

Once your squad is formed, move to your first battle.

Battle rewards:

• Gold → increases your round level

• Silver Coins → upgrades all camps, Armory, and future expansions

Winning the first battle unlocks the core “progress-round cycle,” and gives you enough silver to start real upgrades.

4. Level 2 Reached — Unlock the Armory

Once your level reaches 2, the Armory becomes available.

The Armory allows:

• 1 Silver Coin = 1 Equipment Set

• Body Armor

• Weapon Upgrade

Without the Armory, you will struggle heavily against elite soldiers in later rounds.
This is why the correct timing is always:

Reach Level 2 → unlock Armory immediately.

5. Upgrading Other Camps — Formation > Soldier Camp > Tank Camp

As battles continue and silver income increases, begin upgrading three main structures.

5.1 Upgrade Formation (阵列) — Determines Maximum Troop Capacity

Formation level controls:

• How many soldiers you can bring into battle at once

• How quickly you can cycle silver income through casualties

Veteran rule:

Upgrade Formation to Level 3–4 as early as possible.

This significantly stabilizes your battle performance.

5.2 Upgrade the Soldier Camp Further

Higher-level Soldier Camps produce stronger soldiers, which:

• Survive longer

• Return more silver on death

• Increase your overall army strength

This is the second layer of the silver-coin economy.

5.3 Upgrade the Tank Camp — Level 5 for Late-Game Stability

Tank Camp is a major breakthrough:

• Extremely durable

• High firepower

• Ideal for elite enemy waves

Optimal upgrade path:

• Unlock Tank Camp → keep at Level 1

• When stable, upgrade to Level 3

• For difficult battles, push to Level 5, creating a massive power spike

6. Skill Zone — Nukes & Helicopters (5-Minute Cooldown)

Throughout all progress rounds, only two things persist:

• Your Level

• Nuke and Helicopter availability (each refresh every 5 minutes)

6.1 Nuclear Strike

Nukes are best for:

• Clearing dense enemy groups

• Resetting a collapsing frontline

• Removing elite squads in bulk

Use only when necessary, as improper timing wastes potential.

6.2 Helicopter Strike

Helicopters are ideal for:

• Picking off key enemy shooters

• Clearing ranged units

• Finishing off elite survivors

Nukes = Area Damage
Helicopters = Single-Target Precision

7. Eliminating All Enemies — Capture the Flag

After defeating all enemy units, proceed to the Capture Zone.

Capturing the flag:

• Ends the current round

• Moves you to the next wave

• Or advances you to the next progress stage

But note:

All camps reset to Level 1.
Only your Level, Nuke, and Helicopter cooldowns remain.

So each new stage requires repeating:

• Soldier Camp upgrade

• Soldier production

• First battle

• Silver accumulation

• Base rebuilding

This “multi-round reset system” defines War Master’s core rhythm.

8. Veteran Summary — The Safest, Most Stable Growth Route

Memorize this sequence for consistent success:

1. Upgrade Soldier Camp → Produce soldiers

2. Win first battle → Gold increases level → Silver restarts economy

3. Reach Level 2 → Unlock Armory immediately

4. Upgrade Formation to Level 3–4

5. Upgrade Soldier Camp to Level 2–3

6. Upgrade Tank Camp to Level 5 (mid-late game)

7. Use nukes & helicopters wisely

8. Defeat all enemies → Capture the flag → Advance to next round

9. Camps reset → Repeat the progression loop

This path ensures smooth advancement without resource shortages or combat bottlenecks.
