Economy

Three currencies. Two you earn by playing; one you can buy.

⚙

BattleCoins

The everyday currency — what the front pays you for fighting.

How to get it

• Winning a battle (more for beating the mission's par time)
• Supply-drop crates caught mid-battle
• Prize boxes

What it's for

• Starting a research project
• Boosting a running project's clock (2× / 4× / 8×) to finish sooner
• Buying a unit tier in the Hangar (alongside Blueprints)

▤

Blueprints

The advancement currency — earned by progress, not grinding.

How to get it

• First-ever clear of a mission (+3)
• Setting a new personal-best time on a replay (+1)
• Some mission rewards, supply drops, and prize boxes

What it's for

• Completing a research project instantly instead of waiting
• Hiring extra researchers (2nd–5th: 5, 15, 45, 135)
• Buying a unit tier in the Hangar (alongside BattleCoins)

✦

War Bonds

Premium

The premium currency. Mostly purchased, spent in the War Chest.

How to get it

• Bond packs from the store (10 / 25 / 50 / 100)
• Occasional battle rewards, supply drops, and prize boxes

What it's for

• Exchanging in the War Chest for BattleCoins or Blueprints
• Hiring researchers the fast way (2, 5, 13, 39 bonds)

Commissions

Two one-time purchases from the War Chest — bought with real money, not War Bonds, and restored automatically on a new device.

◈

Ad-Free Commission

Premium

One-time purchase. Removes ads permanently — supply crates open free the moment you catch them.

How you get it

• Bought once in the War Chest (real money, not bonds)
• Restores automatically on a new device

What it does

• Every crate, every battle, opens without an ad from then on

⚗

Research Aid Commission

Premium

One-time purchase. Hires a lab aide who keeps the research bench moving while you fight.

How you get it

• Bought once in the War Chest (real money, not bonds)
• Restores automatically on a new device

What it does

• Finished research is collected automatically on your next visit
• The next level of the same project starts immediately when your BattleCoins cover it

Units

Helicopter

Your one aircraft, and the only line-breaker in the game. Rearms and refuels only on its own pad; carries a gun, missiles and bombs, and can airlift soldiers to paradrop behind enemy lines. Lose all your lives with no buyback and the battle is lost.

Rocket launcher

A single rocket, consumed the moment it fires. Fragile, but it reaches out and deletes a target the rest of the column cannot.

Each line upgrades one stat of one tier. Costs are BattleCoins; times are how long the work takes.
