Stage Swap: how and when to use your one daily swap
- You can swap the active Arms Race phase once per day. Your swap refreshes at the game’s daily reset.
- Before swapping, finish the active phase and claim its available chests when practical. Check whether any unclaimed rewards or remaining-time restrictions block the swap.
- To swap: open Arms Race, open the phase schedule or How to Get Points panel, choose an available swap icon, review the confirmation and confirm.
- Use the swap when it brings a useful phase into the time you can play or lets you act during matching VS tasks. Save it if the current phase already works for you.
- Stage Swap rearranges phase timing; it does not add another set of daily rewards. Confirm the current game-panel rules before using your only swap.
Before spending: four checks
- Open Alliance Duel (VS). Read the current day’s scoring tasks and how much time remains.
- Open Arms Race. Compare its active phase and upcoming phases with the VS tasks.
- Check the exact action that awards points. Starting, finishing and collecting can have different rules.
- Wait only when the timing helps and delaying does not hurt your account or alliance.
What to hold when timing helps
- Building and research: consider delaying a safe completion or speedup until the matching task is active. Confirm the scoring trigger first.
- Hero materials: check whether EXP, recruitment or another hero action is listed before using limited items.
- Troops and drone tasks: check training or promotion, stamina, radar and drone actions separately; they may not share the same scoring window.
- Keep essential resources for immediate progression or alliance orders; event points are not the only priority.
Three practical choices
- Spend now: a required upgrade, defense or alliance action cannot reasonably wait.
- Wait for overlap: VS lists the action, a matching Arms Race phase is upcoming, and delaying is safe. Recheck both task panels before acting.
- Check again: the event clock is near reset, tasks differ, or the scoring trigger is unclear.
- Stage Swap and similar options can change which phase is available. Read the current conditions before using a swap.
Important distinctions
- Alliance Duel (VS) is not the same event as seasonal Faction Duel or Rush Duel.
- A matching phase does not guarantee that every item scores in both events. Compare the actual tasks, not just the phase names.
- Universal weekday, reset-time and chest-point tables are intentionally omitted. Check your active event panels.
For alliance leaders
- Share the current VS objective, the matching Arms Race task if there is one, a suggested window and any urgent exceptions. Tell members to verify their own event panel.
