Secret tasks in Last War: the complete guide
Secret tasks are among the best reward sources in Last War: Survival, but the rarest ones are hard to spot before they expire. Here's how they work, how to find the rare ones with a free scanner, and how to automate their dispatch with an assistant.
What is a secret task in Last War?
Secret tasks are alliance dispatch missions that appear on the world map. You send heroes for a set duration and collect rewards at the end: hero shards, resources, black-market tokens and rare items. They refresh regularly and each member can assist others. Their value varies enormously by rarity: a common task gives little, while a well-used rare task pushes your account forward far faster. Knowing how to identify and prioritise them completely changes your daily output.
Understanding rarity: SR, SSR and UR
Not all secret tasks are equal. Rarity follows a colour code and star tiers: SR are decent, SSR are good, and UR are clearly the most profitable, with UR hero-shard boxes and big resource volumes. The catch is that UR are rare and scattered across the whole server. Without a method, you waste time on mediocre tasks and let the best ones expire. The golden rule: filter by minimum level and focus on high-value tasks instead of blindly handling everything.
Finding rare tasks with the scanner
Rather than roaming the map by hand, the secret tasks scanner instantly lists the special tasks present on a server and their position, then sends you the result by in-game private message. It reads public data, touches neither your screen nor your account, and it's free: all you need is your player UID. It's the fastest way to know where the UR are before they vanish, whether on your own server or an ally's you want to help.
Automating hero dispatch
Once you've spotted the good tasks, you still have to deploy heroes on time, again and again. That's where a desktop assistant like LwFarmBot takes over: it handles dispatch, assists alliance tasks and restarts the cycle without you watching the screen. The tool watches the game and clicks like a player, never modifying the client or forging data. You combine spotting (the scanner) and execution (automation) so a rare task never slips away for lack of time again.
Alliance best practices
Secret tasks are a team game: assisting your mates' tasks pays off for everyone and strengthens the alliance. Share which servers to scan, pass along the positions of spotted UR, and coordinate assists at the end of a cycle when every task counts double. Keep automation reasonable, with natural moves and varied sessions rather than a mechanical 24/7 pace. That maximises collective rewards while keeping believable behaviour on the server side.
