Every thirty seconds the enemy signal grows stronger: machine husks march from four corner gates in five escalating waves, capped by a colossal siege engine that slams the ground and spawns reinforcements of its own. A full run lasts roughly six to seven minutes. You never pull a trigger — the commander and every drafted soldier acquire targets and fight automatically. Your job is the strategy layer: where the commander stands, which squads you recruit with scavenged supply, and when you spend three powerful active skills. If the beacon's integrity reaches zero the run is lost; bring down the Siege Colossus in wave six and the banner stands.",[54,63,65],{"id":64},"how-to-play","How to Play",[59,67,68],{},"Move the commander with WASD or the arrow keys, hold the mouse button to steer toward the pointer, or use the virtual joystick on touch screens. Kills drop supply automatically. Every 30 seconds a reinforcement draft offers three recruit cards — guards hold a post, archers fire over the line, engineers repair structures, medics heal soldiers — pick one with 1, 2, 3 or a tap, or hold your supply with Escape. Three skills sit on cooldown: Q rallies the whole legion for a burst of speed, E detonates a shockwave around the commander, and F emergency-repairs the beacon and outposts, even rebuilding a ruined post. P pauses, M mutes, R restarts instantly.",[54,70,72],{"id":71},"tips-strategy","Tips & Strategy",[59,74,75],{},"Read the wave banner and pre-position: rushers beeline for the beacon while brutes batter whichever post is closest, so anchor guards where the next gate cluster actually points. The commander is your free seventh unit — body-block rushers with shockwave ready rather than chasing grubs across the map. Save Emergency Repair for the Colossus fight; its ground slams telegraph for a full second, and a rebuilt outpost splits the horde's targeting. Rally is strongest the moment a wave spawns, when your whole line is in contact. Draft to your weakness: if posts are crumbling take engineers, if soldiers are falling take a medic, and if raiders leak through take archers before more guards.",[54,77,79],{"id":78},"what-makes-it-distinct","What Makes It Distinct",[59,81,82],{},"Unlike lane-based tower defense, Last Banner is a legion survival game: every unit on the field is autonomous, and your only levers are positioning, squad composition, supply timing and three area skills.
