1.  SEASON 3 OVERVIEW

What is Season 3?

Season 3 — known as the Everfrost Era or Ice Season — is the third major seasonal phase of Last Z: Survival Shooter.  The map transforms into a frozen tundra where the old desert ruleset is completely replaced and mountains become frozen lakes.  If you survived Season2(Desert/Tiles/Sapphire/Cactus), consider S3 a fresh start with new rules.

Key Differences vs Season 2

💡  PRO TIP:  S3 is fundamentally simpler than S2 in terms of map complexity — no tiles means no need for complicated tile-capturing logistics.  Your energy pivots to creature kills and event participation. Manage Fuel

2.  SEASON TIMELINE

Understanding the season calendar lets you plan your resources weeks in advance.  Use this as your roadmap.

⚠  WARNING:  The Snowman activity was reset mid-season in the first S3 batch with NO NOTICE — all progress was lost.  Push hard to Level 20 early in case this happens again.  Do not rely on slow, steady progress.

3.  SEASON 3 RESOURCE ECONOMY

In S2 you fought over tiles.  In S3 you fight creatures.  Everything revolves around two core actions: killing creatures for season resources, and spending those resources to upgrade season buildings.

Season Buildings Strategy

Your Greenhouses and Bio Lab are the backbone of your S3 resource engine. How you level them directly controls which Boomer and Leopard tiers you can unlock — and therefore how fast your frost cores and season resources accumulate.

ALLIANCE TIP (iEmil)  Constantly upgrade your Greenhouses and Bio Lab to unlock higher-level Boomers and Leopards. This will increase your rate of resource gain. Similar to Season 2 — spread the levels of Greenhouses and Bio Lab equally, then move on to the next level together.

• Keep Greenhouse and Bio Lab levels as equal as possible — do NOT push one far ahead of the other
• Military buildings: level them as resources allow — Command Post is the most important military building as it provides a Damage % bonus
• Command Post = your primary power-increase military building for S3

Primary Resource Loop

• Kill Boomers → Season Resources (Better Choice)
• Kill Creeps / Leopards → earn Season Resources
• Kill Yeti / Glacier Kong→ earn Snowballs for Snowman Mania
• Upgrade Season Buildings with accumulated resources
• Higher Greenhouse + Bio Lab levels unlock higher Boomer tiers

Creature Reference Table

ANIMAL RESCUE PRIORITY (iEmil)  Go for Large Ice Sculptures first. Mammoths and Mooses give the highest value. Hogs if you need fuel/diamonds. Avoid Foxes — orange skill books are not worth the fuel cost. Animals Rescue runs Monday to Wednesday.

💡  PRO TIP:  F2P Priority Order: Boomers/Frostbanes x15 daily (frost cores + snowballs) + Cold Hoofs (badges) + Mammoths (orange equip frags) + Creeps (snowflakes) + Pigs only if you need fuel/diamonds. SKIP Foxes.

4.  SEASON 3 EVENTS

4A — Snowman Mania

Snowman Mania is the flagship S3 event. Your goal is to level up your Snowman to 5-stars, which grants a massive 30% boost to troop attack AND defense. This is non-negotiable — every active player must push this.

Daily Snowman Routine

• Remember to assist in clearing snow off other members' HQs daily
• Claim the 5 Snowballs from other members in the Snowman tab daily
• Complete daily Snowman tasks — do not skip a single day

• Defeat Creeps → collect Snowflakes
• Combine Snowflakes → create Snowballs
• Throw Snowballs → earn Snowman upgrade points
• Clear snow from allies' shelters (up to 5x/day) → earn bonus Snowballs
• Snowman levels up as points accumulate — max Level 5 (decoration) requires dedicated effort

⚠  WARNING:  Snowman progress was WIPED mid-season in the first S3 run with zero notice. Players lost all progress at around Level 20. Push hard early — do not pace yourself slowly. Level 17+ after a reset is achievable; Level 20 before the reset is the ideal.

💡  PRO TIP:  Attack Yeti and Boomers (Frostbanes) as your DAILY PRIORITY for snowball farming — they drop the most snowballs of any enemy.

F2P Level 5 Snowman Decoration — Exact Path

It IS possible to earn the Level 5 Snowman decoration (which grants the +30% ATK/DEF buff) as a F2P player. But it requires all three conditions to be met:

4B — Yeti / Glacier Kong Hunts

Yetis and Glacier Kongs are your other major source of seasonal resources. Unlike Boomers which have a daily limit tied to frost cores, Yeti kills are about consistency and smart fuel management.

• Defeat Yetis TWICE per day minimum — 5 times on Sundays for maximum weekly rewards
• Let the alliance member who has NOT yet hit their daily Yeti quota get the LAST RALLY HIT — they receive the daily reward
• Rally Square at Level 25 or 30 is essential — higher level = more damage per rally = less fuel wasted per kill

GLACIER KONG TACTIC (iEmil)  When a Glacier Kong appears: attack it ONCE to lure it toward your hive, then send multiple rallies in quick succession. This concentrates firepower and kills it before other alliances can interfere. Act fast and communicate in alliance chat when you spot one.

⚠  WARNING:  If a Yeti is targeting your HQ: immediately start a rally on it then cancel the rally. This diverts the Yeti's attention away from your HQ without spending fuel.

4C — Boomers and Leopards — Fuel Management

ALLIANCE TIP (iEmil)  S3 is ALL ABOUT managing your fuel properly. This is the key lesson that separates good players from great ones this season.

• Target 15 Boomers per day to reach your daily frost core limit — check the reward claim screen to track how many you've done
• Leopards should ONLY be used for First Clear after you've already collected frost cores from your Boomer runs
• Exception: use Leopards if you are critically low on fuel and have no other option
• Do your Saga Zombies on Sunday or Tuesday using free fuel from daily tasks
• On the first day of Alliance Duel — everyone should contribute Boomer kills for Alliance Duel points

💡  PRO TIP:  Fuel Rule: Boomers first (frost cores daily limit) → Leopards only for First Clear → Yetis twice daily → Saga Zombies on Sunday/Tuesday with free fuel. Never burn fuel on Leopards before your Boomer quota is done.

4D — Animals Rescue (Monday to Wednesday)

Animals Rescue is a time-limited event running Monday through Wednesday. Ice sculptures appear on the map containing frozen animals. Prioritize by value — not all rescues are equal.

4E — Frozen Rescue (Cold Snap Events)

Cold Snaps periodically trigger across the map. During these windows, ice creatures and mysterious sculptures appear. Rally your alliance to rescue them before they disappear.

💡  PRO TIP:  Assign 2-3 dedicated scouts in your alliance to monitor the map during cold snap hours and immediately ping coordinates in chat.  Speed wins this event.

4F — Arctic Fishing Hole

A weekly mini-game where your alliance fishes using hooks earned through Daily Task completion.  Each hole (and its level) contains different fish species — careful hole selection is critical.

• Not all Level 3 holes contain the same fish — verify before casting
• Catching every fish species is critical for F2P players to earn the Level 5 Snowman decoration
• Activate caught fish immediately to receive Diamonds
• Gift duplicate fish to allies who need them — enables further gifting trades
• Coordinate with alliance on which fish each member needs to optimize trades

💡  PRO TIP:  Track which fish you need in alliance chat.  One missed fish species can block your Level 5 Snowman decoration — trade aggressively with allies.

4G — Glory War (Begins Week 3)

Glory War returns with the same core objective: destroy the opposing alliance's Alliance Center.  The S3 version is essentially identical to S2's Glory War — but without the sapphire/cactus complications that caused defensive headaches.

Defensive Formation (S3 Simplified)

Without sapphire/cactus tiles as gaps, your defensive web can be cleaner than in S2.  The principle remains the same: surround your Alliance Centers like a circle with no holes.

FORMATION RULE : Same as S2

• R5/R4s will coordinate formation layout BEFORE Glory War starts

⚠  WARNING:  Do NOT trash your structure without explicit instruction from R4/R5.  Accidental trashing during Glory War creates gaps that enemies can exploit immediately.

5.  NEW HEROES — S3 ARRIVALS

Season 3 introduces three new heroes. We suggest start pushing Wings of Dawn faction forward.  If you've been a Blood Rose player, now is the time to evaluate a gradual transition — though players who have maxed Blood Rose heroes will face a harder switch.

Hero Level Swapper — NEW FEATURE

Every player receives ONE free Hero Level Swapper during Week 1.  This is a powerful tool if used correctly.  Use it wisely — you cannot get another one for free.

💡  PRO TIP:  Use your free Swapper to redirect investment from a maxed-but-less-useful hero toward one of the new S3 arrivals.  Plan this carefully before using — it cannot be undone.

BLOOD ROSE VETERANS  If you have deeply invested in Blood Rose heroes, do NOT panic-swap everything.  Evaluate whether transitioning delivers enough marginal improvement given how many new hero fragments you can realistically earn in S3.  Gradual investment in Wings of Dawn while keeping Blood Rose for existing battles may be more efficient.

6.  SPENDING GUIDE (F2P + SPENDERS)

Battle Pass

The Battle Pass remains one of the best investments in S3.  It includes hero fragments (Licia), speedups, resources, and more.  If you are going to spend anything this season, the Battle Pass is it.

Season Journey

Most Value for money. Must buy even for low spenders (2000 Gold bars)

Wartime Investment

The Wartime Investment option boosts march speed, virus resistance, and resource production.  For active, daily players these translate to real advantages — especially during Glory War.  For casual players the impact is less pronounced.

F2P Strategy Summary

• Complete ALL Daily Tasks every day — free hooks, resources, and merit points add up significantly
• Kill Boomers (Frostbanes) daily for snowballs + frost cores — 15 per day is the target
• Collect Cold Hoofs from frozen animals for badge income
• Fish the correct holes (track which fish you need) for the Snowman decoration path
• Help 5 allies daily with snow clearing — free snowballs with zero cost
• Never skip a Full Preparedness reset — plan 3-4 task types and complete 2 chests minimum per task

8.  ALLIANCE COORDINATION GUIDE

S3 rewards active alliances much more than solo grinders.  Creature kills, Frozen Rescue, Snowman cooperation, and Glory War all benefit massively from coordination.

Daily Alliance Checklist

Yeti Threat Response

Yeti creatures can target and attack your HQ directly. This is disruptive and can cause troop losses.

YETI DIVERSION TRICK  If a Yeti is targeting your HQ: immediately START a rally targeting it, then CANCEL the rally. This diversion action forces the Yeti to redirect its attention elsewhere without expending any troops.

💡  PRO TIP:  Advanced use: Yetis can be used to deliberately eliminate EXCESS or UNDESIRED troops that you want to clear from your roster. If you have troops you need to cull, let the Yeti attack — it's a fuel-free way to remove them.

9.  TROOP & META GUIDE FOR S3

The main target for most players should be to get all 3 marches to a similar power level. Only then swap to Wings of Dawn. Go slow, don't be weak in Arena

Faction → Troop Synergy
