The New Year Event 2026 in Last War feels like one of those updates that quietly offers massive long-term value if you know where to spend and what to avoid. I went through every tab, tested the activities, and compared the value of each reward so you can enjoy the event without wasting your hard-earned money or time.
This Last War New Years Event 2026 Guide breaks down everything so you can walk away stronger when the event ends.
New Year Battle Pass
The New Year Battle Pass is priced very low and surprisingly delivers excellent value. It mainly shines because of the level five drone component choice chest, which remains one of the most powerful upgrades you can add to your account.
Alongside that, you also receive drone parts, resource choice chests, fireworks, and battle data. For newer players who are still building their foundation, the battle data alone can save days of progress. Even for experienced players, the drone components make this pass feel more like a must-have than an optional purchase.
If you are going to spend anything during this event, this pass should be your first pick.
New Year Rhythm
This mini-game works like a simple rhythm tap challenge. You receive free attempts every day just by logging in, and more attempts by playing. There is no penalty for missing taps, so you can freely spam the button and still score points.
The best part is that the rewards stack over time. This means you do not need to rush or spend money. By simply playing daily, you slowly unlock speedups, items, and useful materials. It is one of the easiest ways to collect free resources during the event.
New Year Mega Deals
This section is where your spending decisions truly matter.
Every day, you can bargain items down to a cheaper price. One item per day can be obtained for free, and some of these freebies include extremely valuable rewards such as universal shards or legendary decorations. Never skip the free daily bargain.
Among the paid bargains, the level five drone component choice chest stands out as the best investment. These components directly boost your combat performance and provide far more long-term power than most cosmetic upgrades.
The frame selection chests are also strong picks, especially if you need HP, attack, or defense boosts. These frames provide consistent value over time and are safe choices if you already have decent drone upgrades.
What you should avoid are survivor tickets and overpriced decoration components. While they appear cheap, they offer very little long-term progression compared to drone-focused upgrades.
Day-Wise Highlights You Should Know
Day two introduces the cornucopia and decoration choice chests. These are solid options if your decorations are not fully leveled yet.
Day four offers a base skin selection chest. While it looks tempting, this is not recommended for most players, especially newer accounts. Base skins are expensive and only become truly impactful at very high power levels. Investing the same resources into drones gives much better growth early and mid-game.
Day five includes nameplates, which are purely cosmetic and safe to skip unless you really like the visuals.
Day six provides base effect selection chests. These are cheaper than base skins but still fall behind drone investments in terms of raw power gain.
New Year Celebration – Easy Bargain Tickets
This tab rewards you for simple daily activities like logging in, completing radar tasks, and collecting food on the map. These actions generate bargain tickets that you use in the Mega Deals section.
It is one of the most casual parts of the event. Just by playing normally, you naturally earn enough tickets to reduce costs and unlock more bargains.
Spend More, Get More
This section is aimed mainly at heavy spenders and older servers. It provides exclusive shards, weapon items, and special materials that are not usually available.
While the rewards are better than previous events, they require high spending thresholds. If you are not planning to invest heavily, this tab can be ignored safely.
Focus on drone upgrades first, especially level five drone component chests. These provide direct combat strength and scale extremely well over time.
Avoid spending on base skins unless you are already running very high power marches and understand their long-term value.
Collect all free bargains every day, play the Rhythm mini-game, and complete radar tasks to stack your free resources.
By following this approach, you will finish the New Year Event 2026 noticeably stronger without overspending.
