Last War Overlord Gorilla & Capitol War Guide
The Overlord Gorilla in Last War: Survival is a late-season tactical companion that fights alongside your primary squad, providing massive HP/Attack/Defense stat aura buffs and an active ground-slam skill. In Capitol War (and Server vs Server Warzone Duel), alliances battle inside the central Contaminated Mud zone to hold the Capitol and 4 surrounding Missile Cannons for 4 cumulative hours.
- Overlord Gorilla Unlock & Progression: Unlocked in later seasons via the Overlord Den; upgraded through Training Certificates, Bond Badges, and Overlord Skill Manuals.
- Capitol War Win Condition: The first alliance to accumulate 4 hours of Capitol occupation (or hold the longest occupation time when the timer expires) wins the Server Presidency and First Lady / Secretary titles.
- Contaminated Zone (Mud) Rule: Teleporting onto the dark mud around the Capitol disables your base shield and slows march speed—only rally leaders and active reinforcers with empty hospitals should port into the mud.
- The 4 Cannons vs. Capitol Center: Holding the 4 outer Missile Cannons bombards the enemy garrison inside the Capitol every few seconds, making Cannon control mandatory to break whale garrisons.

Last War Overlord Gorilla Guide: Unlock, Bond & Skills
Once your server reaches the Overlord expansion, completing the Overlord Gorilla rescue tasks unlocks the Gorilla Den on your base. Assigning the Overlord Gorilla to your main march adds a 6th/7th combat presence that absorbs frontline damage and buffs all 5 heroes. Save all Overlord Training Certificates and Bond items for their designated Alliance Duel VS scoring days.
Capitol War Rules, Presidency Titles & Secretary Buffs
Winning Capitol War grants the reigning alliance leader the President title, who can appoint the First Lady (who approves automatic 24/7 ministry queues) and 6 Cabinet Secretaries: Secretary of Development (+25% Construction Speed / +25% Research Speed), Secretary of Science (+50% Research Speed), Secretary of Interior (+100% Resource Production), Secretary of Security (+20% Troop Training Speed & Cap), Secretary of Strategy (+20% Hospital Cap & Healing), and Commander (+5% Troop Attack/Defense). Always apply for the matching Secretary title before starting HQ 30–35 or T10 Special Forces queues!
Last War: Survival: Optimal Meta Play vs. Common Resource Traps
- ●Stop upper Special Forces tech nodes at Level 4/10 (40%) so you save Gold for the bottom 4 nodes (HP, ATK, DEF, Unit X) to unlock T10 troops (~10.4B Gold total).
- ●Run 5 heroes of the same faction (5 Tank, 5 Aircraft, or 5 Missile) for the full +20% HP/ATK/DEF formation bonus.
- ●Sync all Radar tasks (Mon), HQ upgrades (Tue), Valor tech (Wed), Hero tickets (Thu), and Troop promotions (Fri) with the 02:00 UTC Alliance Duel VS reset.
- ●Do not max upper Special Forces branches to 10/10 before unlocking T10—it wastes billions of Gold and delays Unit X by months.
- ●Do not put Railgun or Data Chip priority on frontline tanks (Williams/Murphy); craft Radar and Armor for your front row first.
- ●Never open wrapped HQ gift boxes before Tuesday 02:00 UTC (Base Expansion) or Drone Component Chests before Wednesday 02:00 UTC (Age of Science).
