How the arms race works
The Arms Race is an ongoing event that alternates 4-hour phases in which you complete specific actions to earn points.
Each day, you compete against 12 to 20 commanders for rewards based on your score that day.

The importance of taking part
You need to take part every day, as you'll earn some great rewards.
To unlock the daily chest, you need 18 badges.
Each daily theme allows you to earn up to 6 badges: 1 badge in the first chest, 2 badges in the second chest and 3 badges in the last chest.
To obtain 18 badges, you can, for example, complete 3 themes (3 x 6 badges) or complete only 2 chests in each theme (6 x 2 badges).
If you're in an alliance, it's easy to complete certain themes by synchronising your participation with the alliance duel.
For example:
- Monday: Drone Boost
- Tuesday: City building
- Wednesday: Technological research
- Thursday: Hero advancement
- Friday: Unit progress
You then have 2 themes to focus on.
Completing 3x6 themes and unlocking the daily chest will earn you at least :
- Diamonds (x350)
- Legendary recruitment tickets (x10)
- UR Hero Fragments (x2)
- SSR hero fragments (x7)
- 5-minute acceleration (x204)
- Skill medal (x4800)
- Chests of gold, food and iron
