Season 40 of Alliance War 

So, the new season of AW is coming up and I have a goal of getting us to Gold 3. Currently we are silver 2 which means we have to get to Silver 1 then move to Gold 3.  I think it's entirely possible to do it this season, but it may take 2-3 seasons.  We will see what kind of ridiculous match ups they make for us.   For context this is the current season rewards for Silver 2:

Not horrible but for a whole season I would rather get a 6-star Nexus Crystal than a 5-star Nexus Crystal. It's hard to get 6-star awakening gems and it would be nice to have a 6-star Nexus where you can choose and maybe get a chance to Dupe and awaken a 6-star champ that really needs to be awakened to really be good.  This is the current season rewards for Gold 3:

Now there is also the rewards you get on the day you defeat the Alliance they match you up against called Victory rewards.  They look like this currently where we are at Tier 15:

Not the best in the world. We need to get this up to at least Tier 11 or higher.  For a comparison this is Tier 11:

Obviously, much better to get the 6-star shards and 5-star shards then the 4-star shards and a few 5-star shards. 

But all in all, we are doing great in Alliance War even when they match us up against monsters with average member rating of over 1 million.  We usually get close to 100% exploration and a pretty good score on Defender Diversity which is the score you get for each unique defender placed in the Alliance War battlegroups. We need to work on the Attack Bonus which is what you get when you kill a defender. The bonus starts at 240 points then 160 points then 80 points and after the defender kills 3 attackers there is no bonus. So, it's best to try and kill the defenders on the first try instead of brute forcing it with revives unless you have no other choice because it is a very powerful defender, or you are low on health and no one else will be able to help.

We have a group chat on the Line App that makes it a lot easier for everyone to keep in touch about things concerning the Alliance.  I would really like it if those of you who aren't on the Line App to get it and add jaceface75 and I will add you in the Group Chat.
