## What Is Alliance War in De-Extinct?
Alliance War is a mode where alliances compete by attacking each other is bases. Your defensive lineup is set on your base, and players from rival alliances attempt to break through it. At the same time, your alliance members are attacking their bases. The side that performs better across all members wins the war.
Based on player experience, the most important thing to understand about Alliance War is that individual performance affects the whole alliance. A single player can make the difference between winning and losing a close war.

## How to Prepare Before Alliance War
Preparation starts hours โ sometimes days โ before the war actually begins.
### Upgrade Your Strongest Dinosaurs
In the days before a war, push your primary dinosaur line to its current maximum level. Even one extra level on your main damage dealer can shift the outcome of a close battle. Prioritize upgrades on the dinosaurs you actually use in your war lineup, not on new experimental units.
### Save Resources for Battle
Resets and healing cost resources. Before a war, accumulate extra food and gold so you can rebuild your lineup immediately after a battle. Players who run out of resources mid-war and cannot rebuild are forced to fight with partial formations โ and partial formations rarely win.
### Coordinate With Alliance Members
The alliances that win consistently are the ones that communicate. Before war day, talk to your alliance about:
– Who is attacking which targets
– Who is focusing on defense
– Whether you have enough members to cover all rival targets
Alliances that go into war without coordination tend to scatter their attacks and miss opportunities for coordinated breakthroughs.

## Best Team Setup for Alliance Battles
Your lineup in Alliance War is a formation, not just a collection of strong dinosaurs. How you arrange that formation matters as much as how strong the individual units are.
### Frontline โ Your Tanks
Your frontline is the first thing an enemy attacker sees. The best frontline units are dinosaurs with high health pools and durable defenses โ the ones that do not fold under initial pressure. Based on community experience, having a solid frontline that absorbs the first wave of attacks gives your damage dealers the time they need to position and fight effectively.
The most common frontline mistake new players make is putting glass cannon damage dealers in front. Your damage dealers need protection โ keep them behind your tanks.
### Damage Dealers โ Your Main Threat
Your primary damage output should be positioned behind the frontline, with clear attack angles. These are the dinosaurs that win battles by eliminating threats before they can respond. Players consistently report that positioning damage dealers too far back โ where they cannot attack โ is as harmful as positioning them too far forward.
### Support โ Heroes and Utility
If you have hero units that provide buffs or healing, position them where they can affect the most units in your formation. The exact placement depends on your specific heroes and formation, but the principle is consistent: support units should be protected but accessible to the units they are helping.

## Alliance War Tips for Beginners
If you are new to Alliance War, these are the lessons most new players wish they had known earlier.
### Tip 1: Do Not Attack Randomly
The biggest mistake new players make is attacking whoever looks reachable without a plan. This wastes attack resources and rarely produces meaningful results. Before every attack, ask yourself: am I attacking a target I can actually beat? Is this attack helping my alliance is overall strategy?
### Tip 2: Follow Alliance Strategy
If your alliance has a war plan, follow it. Experienced alliances assign targets based on matchups โ stronger players take harder targets, and your assignment is chosen because it fits the overall strategy. Ignoring your assignment to attack randomly undermines the entire alliance.
### Tip 3: Focus on Objectives, Not Just Kills
Killing an enemy dinosaur is good. But winning the battle โ and holding your own base โ is what wins wars. Players who focus purely on aggressive kills without protecting their own defense often win battles in the wrong direction. Balance your attack investment with your defensive stability.
### Tip 4: Communicate After Losses
When you lose a battle, tell your alliance. Share what you faced, what worked, and what did not. This information helps other members make better decisions and strengthens the alliance is overall strategy over time.

## Common Mistakes New Players Make
### Mistake 1: Attacking Without Scouting
Going in blind is one of the fastest ways to lose resources. Before attacking, spend 30 seconds studying the enemy formation. Look at their lineup, their hero placement, and their overall level. Adjust your formation to counter theirs.
### Mistake 2: Overcommitting Resources to Defense
It is tempting to pour everything into making your defense impenetrable. But no defense is unbreakable, and resources spent entirely on defense are resources not spent on attack. Balance is better โ a strong defense that costs less to build leaves more for offensive power.
### Mistake 3: Fighting Without Alliance Support
Alliance War is a team mode. Players who try to solo-carry without alliance coordination tend to burn out and underperform. Stay connected with your alliance, follow assignments, and trust the strategy even when individual battles feel uncertain.
