Track the WAR HUD — Reward pool and power percentage lead
Once war begins, the WAR HUD in the bottom-right displays the total cash bounty (e.g. $3.24Dd) and comparing combat power between attacker and defender. Keep your Power share above 50% to maintain momentum toward victory.

Aim at the enemy base grid — lock onto the target skull marker
When targeting a rival base, align your trajectory with the prominent neon green skull crosshairs in the center of their pad grid. Direct hits into this target zone deal maximum infrastructure damage and crack defensive timers.

Direct strikes on the central targeting skull maximize war damage and break defensive shields.Watch at 2:35 - 3
Launch purple top-tier warheads directly into enemy territory
Save your highest-tier purple warheads specifically for war salvos. Launching top-tier ordnance deals millions of combat damage, rapidly shifting the war power meter in your favor while depleting the enemy's defenses.

Launching your heaviest missiles directly impacts the war power meter and overwhelms rival defenses.Watch at 0:30 - 4
Observe enemy shield status and vulnerable launch pads
Use the overhead camera to scout the defender's base. Check whether their blue Lock shield bubble is active or flickering. Timing your biggest missile impact for the exact second their shield drops ensures total devastation.

Monitor when the rival's protective Lock shield expires to unleash your full missile salvo.Watch at 0:45 - 5
Equip combat commanders like Siegebreaker and Recon for war perks
Open the COMMANDERS menu to equip specialized war commanders. Siegebreaker's 'Counter Battery' trait cuts enemy lock timers by 43%+ and buffs subsequent nuke damage by 54%+, while Recon's 'Crippling Shot' snipes and disables the enemy's best commander.

Commanders like Siegebreaker weaken enemy lock timers and boost retaliatory strike damage.Watch at 0:55 - 6
Field a full arsenal of Final Shutdown missiles (DMG 3.79M)
The ultimate war tactic is preparing an entire grid of endgame warheads before declaring war. Launching a synchronized barrage of Final Shutdown missiles (DMG 3.79M each) guarantees decisive victory and secures the massive bounty pool.

The mechanics of war scoring and bounties
War scoring evaluates relative damage dealt, commander debuffs, and target accuracy. Landing precision strikes on the central skull marker while leveraging commander traits allows attackers to overwhelm even fortified defenders and loot enormous bounty pools.
