Speedup Strategy
🎯 The Speedup Rule
Never use speedups on the day you get them. Save them for the matching Arms Race day to double their value: - Construction speedups → Friday - Research speedups → Thursday - Training speedups → Wednesday - Universal speedups → Any day you need a push When To Actually Use Speedups
| Situation | Use Speedups? |
|---|---|
| Matching Arms Race day | ✅ YES — double points |
| Alliance Duel push for top 3 | ✅ YES |
| Finishing HQ upgrade before bed | ✅ YES (don't waste idle time) |
| Random impatience | ❌ NO |
| Off-day with no event | ❌ NO |
The difference between a good and great player: patience with speedups.
