Before Ambush

1. Ambush happens every other day (every 48 hours) and lasts 30 minutes. Check the next start time shown above; it is automatically converted to your local timezone.
2. Before the event starts, scout any nearby base. Tap the Scout button circled in the screenshot below.
3. Scouting activates War Frenzy, which gives you +1% damage for 15 minutes.

Keep War Frenzy active

War Frenzy lasts 15 minutes, while Ambush lasts 30 minutes. Activate it before the event begins, then scout again when it expires so the damage bonus covers the full event. Do not forget the second activation.

Use your squads efficiently

1. Use your weakest squad only to create Team-Ups.
2. Send your first and second (strongest) squads to join other players’ Team-Ups.
3. Prioritize Team-Ups with the shortest timers. Less than two minutes is good; less than one minute is ideal.
4. Avoid newly created Team-Ups whenever possible. Send your first and second squads to Team-Ups with the least time remaining so they return sooner and can join more marches.

Goals and the final three minutes

The basic goal is to create five Team-Ups and join five Team-Ups, but this is only the minimum. Keep creating and joining until Ambush ends.

Do not create a new Team-Up when fewer than three minutes remain. It will not finish in useful time. You may still join Team-Ups that are already running and will complete before Ambush ends.

The real goal is to deal as much total damage as possible. More combined damage means more rewards for everyone.
