Plan around the missions actually displayed in your state's SvS event. Preparation is not a universal one-category-per-day rotation, and delaying every upgrade is not automatically the best choice for every player.
Source-listed eligibility examples
The official wiki's State of Power page, checked on 27 August 2026, lists these examples. This is a partial reference, not the complete mission list or a point-rate table:
| Activity | Preparation days listed |
|---|---|
| Construction, research and training speedups | 1, 2 and 5 |
| Fire Crystals, Refined Fire Crystals and Fire Crystal Shards | 1, 2 and 5 |
| Chief Charm score | 1, 3 and 4 |
| Hero shards | 2 and 3 |
| Train or promote troops | 4 |
| Chief Gear score, excluding charms | 5 |
The source excludes general shards from the hero-shard task. Check your current mission wording before converting or consuming anything. Other activities are listed by the source; absence from this short table does not mean an action never scores.
Build your own preparation checklist
- Open the event's missions and record the day, eligible action, item unit, point rate and reset time.
- Count the inventory you can use for that action. Separate queue-specific speedups, crystals, shards and gear materials.
- Choose an upgrade you actually need and confirm its prerequisites. Do not spend solely because a category appears in the checklist.
- Check when the game awards points: using a speedup is not the same as completing an upgrade. Starting a long queue before reset does not prove its item consumption will count after reset.
- Leave room for normal progression, healing and other commitments. Saving for SvS is a choice with tradeoffs, not a rule to stop all useful activity.
Coordinate with your alliance
Agree on objectives and availability before assigning people to tasks. If an applicable buff is available in your state, confirm its effect, duration and activation rules in game before arranging a slot. This article does not promise a particular ministry role, recruitment buff or automated booking service.
Treat battle and recovery preparation separately from item-scoring plans. Confirm the battle window, participation expectations and protection rules in the current event, rather than assuming an extra calculator column is another scoring day.
Use HQ planning tools carefully
The SvS planner can organize intended activities. The points calculator uses estimates with documented limits; it does not certify your current event's eligibility. A saved plan is not completed scoring, and an inventory total is not proof of a scored action.
What still needs review
Current state-specific mission screens, point rates, buff effects and timing behavior need an actual reviewer. The old exclusive banking table and promised competitive advantage have been removed. This reference does not guarantee rewards, a winning score or the best use of your resources.
