EVERY f2p gamer in kiss of war should employ the following officer build :

1. officers: Olivia , hardwin.
2. weapons: any 2 weapon used for garrison
3. ship: sim, porter/madison (focus on global, and garrison)

** olivia / sophia is sufficient for light duty swarm when there is nothing else available. This combination will fail however against ANY WHALE whose stat bonus exceeds your own by a substantial amount

---

Officers: Tickets, and badges should not be used for any purpose other than leveling the weapons used in your garrison. Reccomended buid path:

1. vip 15 is a priority. this yields 4 daily legandary recruitment chests
2. use all golden tickets to collect olivia badges
3. use all golden ticket boxes from daily task, and vip to convert to tickets, and use on hardwin
4. any tickets obtained from events: use on olivia.
5. any golden badges : use on hardwin

** olivia badges cost 23 tickets per badge. it is more efficient to level her using free tickets.hardwin costs 37, it is more efficient to level her using badges or golden box obtained from vip /daily tasks.

weapons. keys should not be used for anything other than appropriate garrison equipment. that means 2 guns. as you will be unable to effectively enter the field until such time as your garrison is finished. no other weapons matter.
(in order of preference)

1. Boys Anti Tank Rifle: makes any base, even a farm, an unnattractive target
2. M3: still the gold standard, great in all situations, can be used elsewhere as needed
3. Grim Reaper*: a 3 stat grim reaper can be extremely effective versus swarms
4. shot gun: 3 stat garrison /total shotgun is very effective
5. STG44 : (old but better than nothing)

*a grim reaper may be used with a tank heavy garrison base, if it has 3total attack stats. this is because a grim reapers ability affects only tanks, but will not be disabled if other units exist in the garrison as well.

---

ships. sims may be completed at any time, and porter / madison should be focused towards garrison / global bonuses (you won’t be able to max it easily, you are not a spender)

Summary

no other officer should be leveled until these two are finished.

if you do not possess this at a minimum , you will be swarmed at all times by enemy whales. nobody wants to hit a hardwin base, which makes you the immediate target for all aggression. your base cannot be garrisoned while under attack, b/c your bases defenses are useless. this makes you a waste of time to defend, and free points for the enemy.
