Last War Survival DVA Guide: Ideal Gear Setup
When gearing up DVA in Last War Survival, efficiency is key. Crafting and upgrading gear consumes time and valuable resources, especially Upgrade Ore, which is in short supply. You’ll also need to gear up multiple heroes, so you can’t afford to waste materials on items that won’t serve you long-term. Here’s how to prioritize Last War Survival DVA’s gear without draining your resources:
M3 Turret
This is your first and most vital gear item early on due to its attack boost. However, do not upgrade it. Save your precious Ore for better gear later, as blue gear will be replaced quickly.
M3 Radar
A solid secondary piece that complements the turret. Like the Turret, it’s not worth upgrading. Use it temporarily and keep your Ore for epic gear.
M3 Armor
Helpful for survivability, especially if your frontline is weak. It can be the difference between clearing a stage or failing. Equip it for now, but again, leave it unupgraded.
M3 Data Chip
This is the lowest priority among blue gear. If you have a spare, you can equip it, but never upgrade it. Your Upgrade Ore has better uses elsewhere.
M4-A Destroyer Cannon
This is your first epic gear priority. It offers a big Attack boost and far better stats than anything from the M3 set. Equip it as soon as you can craft it.
M4-A Jackal Data Chip
This should be your second epic gear to focus on. It brings a solid increase in base stats, making it a great addition alongside the Destroyer Cannon.

Last War Survival DVA Guide: Strengths and Weaknesses
✅Strengths
Aircraft Hero Synergy
Last War Survival DVA excels when paired with other Aircraft heroes. Her Exclusive Weapon at level 20 provides a 7.5% boost to Attack, Defense, and HP for all Aircraft-type troops, which makes her ideal for mono-Aircraft team setups.
High Burst Damage
As a damage-focused hero, Last War Survival DVA can dish out significant burst damage, especially with the right gear and team support. She performs well in both PvE and PvP scenarios.
Versatility Across Game Modes
She’s viable in PvE, PvP, and especially in the seasonal game mode “Season 1 – The Crimson Plague,” making her a flexible investment for most players.
Exclusive Weapon Scaling
Her weapon’s stats and troop bonuses scale well as you upgrade, adding considerable value to long-term builds.
❌Weaknesses
Gear and Upgrade Cost
Maximizing Last War Survival DVA’s potential requires investment in high-rarity gear and a fully leveled Exclusive Weapon. These upgrades are resource-intensive and may be difficult for F2P or early-game players.
Less Effective Without Her Weapon
Without her Exclusive Weapon, DVA’s performance drops noticeably, especially when compared to other UR heroes with better baseline stats or utility.
Vulnerable Without Proper Support
In PvP or tough PvE stages, Last War Survival DVA can be vulnerable if not protected by tankier heroes or crowd-control units. Mispositioning her can lead to early elimination.
No Utility Skills
Unlike some other heroes, Last War Survival DVA brings no crowd control or healing, focusing purely on raw damage and troop buffs. In teams that require utility, she might not be the best fit.
