Top 10 Common Mistakes New Fate War Players Make and Their Solutions

In deep and competitive strategy games like Fate War, the early stages of your journey determine your destiny for the weeks to come. Many new players fall behind the server’s pace by mismanaging their resources and time. We have compiled the 10 biggest mistakes that 90% of players make—and their solutions—to save you months of progress as you build your kingdom.

1. Joining a Tribe (Alliance) Too Late

• The Mistake: Trying to play solo right after starting or delaying joining an alliance.
• The Solution: Join one of the most active tribes as soon as you enter the server. “Help” button taps from alliance members significantly reduce your construction and research times. Buildings that would take days alone can be finished much faster with an active tribe.

2. Spending Gems Improperly and Hastily

• The Mistake: Wasting gems to buy basic resources, speed up standard buildings, or purchase mediocre gear from the market.
• The Solution: Gems are the most valuable currency in the game. Save them to increase your VIP level (which provides permanent bonuses, especially for F2P players) or for special events like the “Enchanted Roulette” to unlock powerful commanders like Erin.

3. Investing in Every Commander (Hero)

• The Mistake: Randomly distributing all experience books and sculptures (heads) across blue, purple, and legendary heroes.
• The Solution: Pick one primary troop type to focus on (Cavalry, Archer, or Berserker) and invest your resources into 2-3 main commanders that provide synergy for that specific troop. Remember, a well-built purple team will often outperform a poorly optimized legendary team.

4. Neglecting In-Game Events

• The Mistake: Using speed-ups and large resource chests as soon as you get them on a regular day.
• The Solution: Always check the event calendar. Use your construction speed-ups during “Construction Events” and your troop training speed-ups during relevant military events. This way, you can climb the leaderboards and earn extra legendary rewards for the same amount of spending.

5. Over-Investing in T2 and Low-Level Troops

• The Mistake: Consuming massive amounts of resources to produce too many T2 or T3 troops early on.
• The Solution: In the beginning, produce only enough low-level troops to gather resources and complete basic activities. Save your main resources and universal speed-ups for after you unlock T4 and, eventually, the game-changing T5/T6 units.

6. Upgrading Buildings Randomly

• The Mistake: Thinking “this building’s level is low, I should upgrade it too” and wasting time on non-strategic structures.
• The Solution: You should have one goal: reaching the requirements for your main Shrine and the barracks that produce high-level (T5/T6) troops. Prioritize prerequisite buildings like the War Hall and Sentry Tower.

7. Opening Resource Chests Prematurely

• The Mistake: Withdrawing millions of wood, stone, and coin from your inventory into your storage just because “you might need them.”
• The Solution: Never keep resources “open” in your storage. Resources that exceed your warehouse capacity make you an easy target for the server’s strongest players (whales). Only open chests when you are about to start a building and only as much as you need.

8. Researching Technology Without a Plan

• The Mistake: Randomly selecting the cheapest or shortest technologies in the research tree.
• The Solution: Technology has a “snowball effect.” First, strengthen your foundation with economic research (construction speed, gathering speed), then focus entirely on maxing the stats of your chosen troop type (e.g., only Berserker stats).

9. Skipping Daily Quests

• The Mistake: Logging in just to send troops to war and ignoring the seemingly “boring” daily tasks.
• The Solution: Daily quests are the backbone of the game. The gems, speed-ups, and resources they provide consistently create a massive gap over time. Never miss daily PvE events like the “Jotun Invasion.”

10. Mixing PvE and PvP Runes

• The Mistake: Using the same rune sets for fighting monsters on the map as you do for battling other players (PvP).
• The Solution: For events like Jotun, you must use runes that deal damage to “Black-forged” enemies. However, when heading into GvG (Alliance Wars) or open-field battles, you must swap these for war runes suited to your troop type (Speed and Damage for Cavalry, HP and Defense for Berserkers).

By avoiding these mistakes, you can turn your kingdom into one of the most feared powers on the server and use your resources with maximum efficiency. Good luck on the battlefield!
