How Troop Training Works in Last War
Last War: Survival Game's progression revolves around training troops to defend your base and attack enemies. Troops are organized into tiers (T1 through T9+), with higher tiers offering dramatically more combat power per troop but requiring longer training times and more resources.
Troop Tiers Overview
Training time and resource costs increase exponentially per tier. Unlock higher tiers through Barracks and Research upgrades.
Training Queue Mechanics
Last War allows multiple simultaneous training queues: - Queue slots — each Barracks building provides one training queue - Batch size — determined by troop capacity per Barracks level - Time reduction — Research, VIP level, and commander skills reduce training time
Higher Barracks levels unlock larger batch sizes, allowing more troops per training run without increasing the number of separate queues.
How the Troop Training Calculator Works
The Troop Training Calculator estimates: 1. Total training time — for a given number of troops at a given tier 2. Speedups required — how many speedup items are needed to complete training immediately 3. Resource cost — food, gold, and other materials needed 4. Batch efficiency — optimal troop count per batch given Barracks capacity
Inputs
Example Calculation
Training 50,000 T5 Infantry: - Base time per troop: 2 minutes - Total raw time: 100,000 minutes = ~69 days - With 20% training speed research: 55,200 minutes = ~38 days - Speedups required (8-hour speedups): 115 speedups
The calculator shows both time-to-complete and speedup equivalents so you can plan whether to train organically or accelerate with speedups.
Training Efficiency Tips
Troop Loss Recovery
When troops die in combat, they go to a "Seriously Wounded" pool: - Seriously Wounded — recoverable via Hospitals (up to Hospital capacity) - Dead (exceeding Hospital capacity) — permanently lost; must re-train - Keeping Hospital capacity high reduces troop losses - The Training Calculator can project how long re-training a killed army takes

Frequently Asked Questions
- How long does it take to train high-tier troops in Last War?
- Training time increases dramatically by tier. T5 troops may take 1–3 minutes each; T7 may take 15–30 minutes each; T9 can exceed several hours per troop. For large armies of 50,000+ troops, this translates to weeks or months of raw training time. Research upgrades, VIP bonuses, and commander skills can reduce training time by 20–50%. The Troop Training Calculator shows the exact time and speedup count for your specific setup.
- Should I train T1 or high-tier troops in Last War?
- For early-game, T1 and T2 troops are fine for completing quests. For mid and end-game, focus on T5+ — they provide far more combat power per troop slot. T1 troops may seem efficient because they train instantly, but they provide nearly zero combat value against stronger players. Unlock higher-tier troops as soon as possible through Barracks and Research upgrades.
- How many training queues can I have running simultaneously in Last War?
- The number of simultaneous training queues equals the number of Barracks buildings you have constructed. Each Barracks contributes one active queue. Some VIP levels or special events may grant temporary bonus queues. Maximizing the number of Barracks and their levels is one of the most impactful long-term investments for troop production speed.
- What speedups should I use for troop training in Last War?
- Save large speedups (8-hour, 24-hour) for critical moments — troop rushes before alliance wars, recovering from a large attack, or when research is near completion. Use small speedups (1-minute, 5-minute) freely to clear queues. The Troop Training Calculator shows exactly how many speedup hours are required for a given training target, helping you decide whether your speedup stock is sufficient before committing.
