SimCity BuildIt War Items Guide
SimCity BuildIt War Items Guide
SimCity BuildIt war items are the special items you spend to launch disasters at enemy cities in Club Wars. They are not factory goods, they cannot be made in a shop, and you cannot buy them with ordinary Simoleons. If your club is about to start a war and your war item stock is empty, you will spend the whole preparation phase catching up instead of attacking. This guide explains what war items are, where they come from, what War Simoleons and the War Store do, and how war attacks actually work.
What simcity buildit war items are
There are 12 war items in the game, according to the SimCity BuildIt wiki, and they exist for one purpose: launching Disaster Cards in Club Wars. Each disaster needs a set of war items plus Vu Energy to fire. Before you launch, the game shows you the damage the disaster will cause, the War Points it will earn, the energy it needs and the war items it needs, so you can decide whether the attack is worth it. There are 24 different disasters in Club Wars, according to the wiki, and each one asks for different war items. War items sit in their own storage, separate from your City Storage, so stocking them does not eat the space your factories and upgrades need.
How to get war items
The best source, according to community guides, is War Deliveries. During a war, the War Deliveries Depot near the airport offers shipments: deliver the requested goods and you earn war items in return. War Deliveries stay open through the preparation phase and the attack phase, so keep completing them during the war instead of doing them all at the start and then stopping. You can also earn war items by repairing buildings damaged by enemy attacks, by collecting them from opinion bubbles and War Chests, and by buying them in the War Store with War Simoleons. Community advice is consistent on one point: get war items from War Deliveries first, because they are the cheapest source in the long run, and save your War Simoleons for something harder to get.
War Simoleons and the War Store
War Simoleons are a separate currency used only for wars. You earn them by taking part in Club Wars and through the Vu Pass, according to the wiki, and you spend them only in the War Store. The War Store is where Disaster Cards, war items and Battle Boosters can be bought, and it only unlocks after your first war. It sells 3 Disaster Cards, which refresh every 3 days, and 6 war items, which refresh every hour, according to the wiki. War item prices in the store rise with each purchase before the stock runs out, so buying a large stock in one go gets expensive fast. Battle Boosters appear in the War Store once your club reaches the Desert of Destruction arena, and in that arena two of the war item slots are replaced by boosters. The winning club in a war earns Platinum Keys, SimCash and War Simoleons, with the amounts depending on the arena — the wiki reports the starting arena, Mountainous Mayhem, paying 1 Platinum Key, 10 SimCash and 1,000 War Simoleons.
How war attacks work
Club Wars have two phases. The preparation phase lasts 12 hours: War Deliveries open, members gather war items, and the club plans who attacks whom. Then the attack phase lasts 36 hours, and this is when disasters are launched at enemy cities to score War Points. The club with the most War Points at the end wins. Your city will be attacked too. When a city takes enough damage, a shield triggers and protects it for a time, so stock repair materials before the war starts and repair quickly to keep earning. Repairing war damage can also earn war items and War Simoleons, which is why defence matters as much as attack: a city that stays damaged cannot produce, trade or attack properly. Organise attacks in club chat rather than attacking alone, and check which disasters your club mates are already using so you do not waste items on a city that is already shielded.
What not to do with War Simoleons
Do not spend War Simoleons on war items if you can get them from War Deliveries instead. War Simoleons are hard to earn, and Battle Boosters — which are much harder to obtain than war items, according to community guides — are the better buy. Do not enter a war with no war items stocked, and do not spend your whole stock in the first hour of the attack phase: disasters need Vu Energy too, and energy restores over time, so a steady pace beats a fast start followed by hours of waiting. Finally, do not expect war items to help outside Club Wars and Monster Trouble. They have no use in the main city, the Contest of Mayors or the Trade Depot.
