Beginner’s Guide

Starting out in Fate War can feel overwhelming. With so many buildings, resources, troops, and events, it’s easy to make mistakes that slow down your progress. This guide gives you the big picture of the first month, with essential tips and strategies — plus links to detailed guides on each topic.

1. Join a Tribe Early

A strong tribe is the single most important factor for growth. Tribes give you support, rewards, protection, and guidance. Playing solo will dramatically slow down your progress.

👉 Tip: Look for an active tribe with daily communication and leadership. You can write in the Kingdom Chat that you are looking for a tribe to guide you.

➡️ For more, see our Tribe & Social Play Guide.

2. Follow the Story & Unlock Territories

The map has 33 fog-covered territories. Revealing them unlocks resources, Witch Huts, chests, peasants, and soldiers. Always follow the main quests instead of building randomly — this keeps your growth balanced and ensures you don’t run out of resources.

Some new players rush buildings too early, only to get stuck later when a quest requires the same building at a much higher level. Following the story avoids this trap.

👉 Tip: Prioritize quests and territory expansion for steady rewards.

➡️ See Territories & Storyline Progression.

3. Complete Daily Tasks

Daily tasks reset every 24 hours and are a reliable way to gain resources, speed-ups, and hero items. They also guide you on what to focus on each day.

Making them a routine will keep your development on track.

➡️ See Daily Tasks & Rewards Guide.

4. Don’t Waste Gems on Resources

Many beginners spend gems on resources — this is a trap. Instead, gems are best used for:

• Speed-ups
• Hero calls
• Special events
• Stamina

Your main resources should come from nodes, Witch Huts, quests, and daily tasks.

5. Focus on Resource Nodes Early

Food and Lumber are the backbone of early growth. Later, Stone, Knowledge, and Iron become more important for upgrades.

👉 Pro tip: Balance Production vs. Transportation — if transportation is high but production is low, you won’t gain much.

6. Upgrade Your Chieftain Hall (CH)

The Chieftain Hall unlocks most features and allows your kingdom to grow. Keep CH upgrades a top priority, supported by resource buildings and barracks.

7. Always Train Soldiers

Your barracks should never stay idle. Train as many high-level troops as possible, but don’t forget to upgrade lower-tier soldiers later. Soldiers are needed for quests, events, resource gathering, and defense.

👉 More details in our Army & Defense Guide.

8. Use Speed-Ups Wisely

Save speed-ups for events whenever possible to gain bonus rewards. A smart routine:

• Use training speed-ups before sleep → complete current batches & start new ones
• Use training speed-ups in the morning → repeat

This way, your army grows steadily without waste.

9. Protect Your Kingdom

Enemies can raid your kingdom early on. Protect yourself by:

• Using shields when you’re offline, especially during kill events
• Hiding troops or avoiding leaving them gathering overnight
• Joining a tribe with good diplomacy

10. Events = Rewards

Events like Tribal Showdown, Call of Valhalla, Blood & Steel, Jotunheim give powerful rewards. Even if you can’t win, participation brings steady progress. Coordinate with your tribe for maximum points.

➡️ See Events Overview.

11. Heroes Are Your Backbone

All players start with Baldur (B rank), but quickly gain more heroes. Use Starglitter to summon them, then collect Hero Mementoes to unlock new ones.

In the first 1–2 weeks:

• Summon as many heroes as possible
• Learn their roles (DPS, tank, healer, gatherer, garrison)
• Use game-recommended assemblies until you gain experience
• Focus upgrades on a few strong heroes instead of spreading too thin

Heroes come in B, A, and S ranks, with S being the strongest. Upgrading star ranks unlocks more skills. Focus on core heroes like Baldur, Voll, Kalthas, Iris, Vista, and Kiana.

➡️ Full details in Heroes Guide.

12. Call to Arms – The Constant Event

This event runs all the time, changing every 3 hours. It rewards points for simple actions like training soldiers, researching, or attacking monsters.

👉 Tip: If you’re about to upgrade a building or research a tech, wait until the right task appears. That way, you gain rewards that others pay real money for.

➡️ See Call to Arms Guide.

Common Beginner Mistakes to Avoid

• Buying resources with gems
• Ignoring daily tasks
• Spreading hero upgrades too thin
• Building randomly instead of following quests
• Training too many troops without enough resources to support them

➡️ See our Growth Strategy Guide.

Final Tips for Beginners

• First month priorities: join a tribe, focus on resources, train troops, and learn events
• Ask questions in tribe chat — experienced players are your best teachers
• Balance economy, army, and research — don’t over-invest in just one
