Day 1 (Construction):

• Use speedups on Town Center, Barracks, Range
• Upgrade only what’s needed
• Use Double Time
• Start a long upgrade and leave it unfinished (save for Day 5)

Day 2 (Heroes):

• Spend all gems on Hero Roulette - up to 120 spins only.
• Use all saved hero shards to upgrade your heroes.
• DO NOT use keys!!! - It will be tempting, but don't do it! They are for seasonal events only. Thank me later.

Day 3 (Training):

• Buy training capacity boost before promoting or training (Grey arrow beneath pfp > Growth tab > Training Capacity for 3k gems)
• Only promote troops
• If F2P, if you promoted all your troops and have leftover speedups, train archers only - you need them for Bear Hunt

Day 4 (Beasts):

• Use 3/4ths of your stamina on this day. (You have more stamina in your backpack you can use)
• Use Diana for rallies (upgrade her expedition skill for stamina discount)
• Fahd helps with march speed
• If you have auto-hunt enabled, you can do 1 march with Diana & Fahd for quick & cheap auto beast hunting.

Day 5 (Construction Finish):

• Finish Day 1 upgrades
• Stop after hitting target points - unless you are trying to push for more points. (If you're not going to make it into the top 10, just save your remaining speedups for the next HOG, don't waste it on this day.)
