Last Z Season 1: Grassland Origin — Complete Guide

What Is the Grassland Season?

Season 1 is the season every new Last Z: Survival Shooter account begins in — it's typically referred to by the community as the Grassland Season because of its open, green starting terrain. Unlike the later thematic seasons (Desert, Everfrost, Dinosaur Origin, Moonlight Elegy), Grassland is designed as the foundational period: you'll build your first base, unlock your early heroes, join or form an alliance, and start competing for territory against other new survivors on your server.

Everything you build here — your resource economy, your hero roster, your alliance relationships — carries forward into Season 2 and beyond, so decisions made during Season 1 have a long tail of consequences.

Season Tally: How It Works

Season Tally is the scoring system running quietly in the background throughout Season 1. It tracks your account's (and your alliance's) contributions over the course of the season, and it's the mechanism that determines your end-of-season rewards.

• Tally points are primarily earned through capturing and holding cities on the map.
• Higher-tier cities generally contribute more to your alliance's collective tally than lower-tier ones.
• Your final tally standing affects the rewards you receive when the season concludes — so consistent territory control matters more than one big push at the very end.

City Capture & Capital Rewards

Cities are the backbone of Season Tally progress. Capturing a city typically requires committing troops to a rally and defeating whatever defenses (NPC or rival player) currently hold it. Once captured, holding the city continues generating tally value for as long as your alliance controls it — which means defense matters just as much as offense.

The Capital — usually the most valuable city on the map — offers the largest reward pool of the season, but is also the most heavily contested. Coordinated alliances typically target the Capital only once they've secured a strong perimeter of surrounding cities first.

Alliance Strategy for Season 1

Since Season 1 is when most players are actively joining or building alliances for the first time, this is the season where alliance culture gets set. A few things worth prioritizing:

1. Join early, join active. An alliance that's already coordinating city captures in week one will out-pace one still recruiting in week three.
2. Communicate rally targets. Uncoordinated solo rallies on contested cities tend to fail — group rallies succeed and hold territory longer.
3. Protect your weaker members. New accounts are vulnerable early. An alliance that shields its smaller bases builds loyalty (and keeps more contributors active for Season Tally) than one that leaves them exposed.

Preparing for the Season 2 Migration

When Season 1 concludes, players get a window to migrate their account to a new state for Season 2. Migration is optional, but for competitive players it's strongly recommended, since later seasons bring new terrain, new mechanics, and often more evenly-matched server populations than a Season 1 server that's aged for months.

Before the migration window opens, it's worth:

• Spending down resources you don't want to risk in transition (buildings, troop training, research).
• Confirming with your alliance whether you're migrating together — coordinated alliance migrations are far more effective than scattering to different servers.
• Using our Migration Calculator ahead of time to estimate your migration tier and required passes, so there are no surprises when the window opens.
