The Long Road to T5 and T6 Troops in Fate War: Requirements and Optimization

In Fate War, the biggest turning point for mid-to-late game players is undoubtedly unlocking Tier 5 (T5) and eventually Tier 6 (T6) troops. The moment T6 soldiers step onto the battlefield, your account statistics increase by 1.5x, turning you into an unstoppable force on the server. However, this journey is long, expensive, and requires strategic planning.

Here are all the requirements you need to know and tips on how to optimize your resources while unlocking T5 and T6 troops:

Unlocking T5 Troops: The First Major Test

To reach T5 units, performing military technology research alone is not enough; you must bring the core buildings of your Shrine to specific levels.

Base Building Requirements:

• Shrine Level 25: The main building that unlocks T5 research.
• Barracks Level 25: It is mandatory to have your Infantry, Archer, and Cavalry barracks all at level 25.
• War Hall Level 25: You will need “Badge of Victories” to upgrade this building. You can purchase these weekly from the shop using Merit points earned from PvP events or collect them by defeating “Crazed Fire Giants” on the map.
• Sentry Tower Level 25: Upgrading this requires “Outpost Toolboxes.” You can obtain these items daily by defeating Black-forged enemies or through the Friendship Shop.

Technology (Research) Requirements:

• Attack and Defense research for Infantry, Archer, Cavalry, and Beast Rider units must be at least Level 5.
• Troop HP and individual stat researches must reach Level 10.

The Path to T6 Troops: The Peak of the Game

The game doesn’t end after unlocking T5; that is when the real race begins. T6 units are the biggest leap that brings you closer to “Whale” status.

Base Building Requirements:

• Shrine Level 30: Mandatory for T6 research.
• Beast Rider Barracks Level 30: You need “Proof of Beast Masteries” to upgrade this building. These items, which can be bought weekly from the Merit Shop, are one of the biggest obstacles on the road to T6.

Optimization Tactics for Fast Progress

Many players lose months during this process. Follow these rules to manage your time and resources correctly:

1. Save Your Speed-ups

This is the golden rule: never waste your Universal or Research speed-ups to train T4 troops or below. The final researches on the way to T6 can take approximately 30 days each. Keep your speed-ups in your inventory for these massive research projects.

2. Shorten Times with Alliance Help

You can reduce a 30-day research project to about 20–22 days through the “Help” clicks of an active alliance. This mechanic alone saves you weeks of time. Make sure you are in a crowded and active Tribe.

3. Don’t Spend Gems on Special Items

It might be tempting to buy the special upgrade items for the War Hall and Sentry Tower with Gems. Be patient; collect these materials for free by completing daily activities and using event shops. Save your Gems to increase your VIP level.

4. The Snowball Effect

Instead of spending all your resources on training troops after unlocking T5, stay locked onto the T6 goal. Do not waste time with unnecessary side researches; focus solely on bringing the Shrine and the required barracks to level 30.

The moment you hit the button for T6, your life in Fate War will change completely. Manage your resources wisely and stay focused on your goal to establish dominance on the battlefield!
