What is RECON?

RECON is your personal AI strategy advisor for Last War: Survival. Think of it as a commander who knows the game deeply and is always available to brief you before a session, answer tactical questions mid-game, or help you decide where to focus your time and resources.

You access RECON through your browser at:

recon.knowhirematch.com

It works on your phone, tablet, or computer.

Getting Started

Enter Your Name (First Visit Only)

RECON will ask what to call you. Type your name and tap Let's go. It will greet you personally on every future visit.

Set Your HQ Level

Tap the HQ dropdown in the top-right corner and select your current level. RECON remembers this automatically — set it once and it sticks.

Ask Anything

Type in the box at the bottom and tap Send, or tap the 🎤 mic button and speak your question. RECON responds with advice tailored to your HQ level.

Tip: Your HQ level is the single most important context RECON needs. Every answer gets significantly better when it's set.

Using Your Voice

RECON supports full voice input — especially useful when you're mid-game and don't want to stop and type.

Tap the 🎤 microphone button next to the Send button
Speak your question naturally — RECON listens until you stop talking
Your words appear in the text box as you speak
When you stop, RECON automatically sends and responds

Mic misheard you? Just type a correction in the text box and hit Send. You can always override what the mic captured.

Sidebar Categories

On the left side of the screen (tap the ☰ menu icon on mobile) you'll find 8 category shortcuts. Tapping any of them instantly sends a question to RECON — no typing needed.

Category	What it covers
🏗️ Base Development	What to build and upgrade first at your HQ level
⚔️ Hero Lineup	Which heroes to level, skill builds, and team compositions
🪖 Troop Strategy	Building and managing troops for combat
🔬 Research Path	Tech tree priorities and research order
⛏️ Resources	Farming, protecting, and spending resources efficiently
🛡️ Alliance Warfare	Rally mechanics, SvS, and coordination strategy
🏆 Events & Seasons	How to play events for maximum rewards
🔒 Defense & Shields	When to shield and how to avoid getting farmed

Daily Brief

The Daily Brief gives you a personalized, prioritized action plan for your entire play session in about 60 seconds. Tap 📋 Daily Brief in the sidebar to start.

The Three Questions

RECON asks you three quick questions. Answer by voice or type — whichever is faster.

What's happening today? — Say which events are active: Alliance Duel, State vs State, Ghost Ops, Season Event — or just say quiet day.
How are your resources? — Say loaded up, running low, or saving for something specific.
What's your main focus? — Upgrading HQ, unlocking a troop tier, leveling a hero, etc.

Voice tip: After each question a 🎤 Tap to speak button appears. Tap it, answer, and RECON moves to the next question automatically.

Review Before Generating

After your three answers, RECON shows a summary screen so you can correct anything before the brief is generated.

Tap any row to edit — a text box opens with your current answer pre-filled
Tap the 🎤 mic button to re-speak, or just type the correction
Tap Save to confirm, then Generate Brief when all three look right
Tap Cancel to scrap everything and start over

Reading Your Brief

The brief appears as an interactive card. Tap the navigation buttons at the top to jump to any section instantly.

Section	What it contains
⚡ Immediate	Do these right now before anything else
🏗️ Build	What to have in your build and research queues
🔄 Daily	Routine tasks: radar, alliance help, zombies, store
🏆 Event	Specific tasks for any active event
🎯 Goal	One concrete action to advance your stated focus today

Tap any action item to check it off — the text strikes through and the counter updates. Use this to track progress mid-session.

Generating a New Brief

Tap ↺ New Brief at the bottom of the brief card to regenerate. Your previous answers are pre-filled — just update what changed.

What RECON Remembers

RECON automatically saves certain things so you don't have to re-enter them every visit.

What	How long	Notes
Your name	Forever	Set once on first visit
HQ level	Forever	Updates when you change the dropdown
Last brief answers	Until next brief	Pre-fills the review screen next time
Last 5 messages	Until next visit	RECON picks up roughly where you left off

Note: RECON memory is stored in your browser. If you switch to a different browser or clear your browser data, you'll need to set your name and HQ level again.

Clearing a Session

Tap Clear Session in the sidebar to wipe the current conversation and start fresh. This clears the chat on screen and resets RECON's memory of what was said this session.

Your name, HQ level, and last brief answers are not affected by clearing a session — those persist regardless.

Quick Tips

Set your HQ level before asking anything — every answer improves significantly with that context
Speak in complete sentences rather than fragments — RECON handles natural language better than keywords
If RECON gives generic advice, give it more context — describe your exact situation and it will get specific
Use Daily Brief at the start of every session — it's designed as a planning tool, not mid-session
If you're in the middle of an SvS war, say so explicitly — RECON will shift all advice to war-time priorities
The sidebar category buttons are the fastest way to get a solid answer on any topic without typing
