By fine-tuning the way you upgrade DVA’s skills and gear, you can save yourself quite some Skill Medals and Universal Shards in the process and as not all skills have the same amount of impact but have the same amount of costs leveling up, fine-tuning them is worth it in the end.
Important! If you want to check how well DVA does in the current meta of all heroes in Last War Survival Game, please check out my current tier list of all heroes here.
Tier S+Here is a quick overview of the rankings of DVA for the different modes of the game. Please refer to the full tier list linked below to see the ranking of all heroes in Last War Survival Game and full evaluation and priority.
DVA’s Team Setups
Use our new squad planner to see how your ideal lineups look like not just with DVA. It also let you exclude heroes you haven’t built or mark heroes as not fully built and you can see how that changes your ideal lineup:
DVA’s Optimal Gear Setup(s)
Now we have to take a look at the gear setup, as it takes a lot of time and resources to craft higher rarity gear and not all gear is as impactful as the other one and you have to gear a couple of heroes in Last War Survival Game. Also upgrading gear gets very expensive and you simply can’t just pump all your Upgrade Ore randomly on gear.

Minimum, Sweetspot and Optimum under DVA show how far your gear is. Upgrade the exclusive weapon once you can unlock it — it never holds up your build.
DVA’s Optimal Skill Upgrade Order
Upgrading skills is possible after you get DVA to 2-Star and then you will be able to upgrade each skill in 5-level increments. White the first skills are rather easy and cheap, it will start to eat quite a bit into your Skill Medals and as you can’t produce them, you might end up with half-built heroes. So, here is the order you should work on the skills for DVA so you only spend the Skill Medals where they actually provide good value:

- 7AutoLv 5 to Lv 10RequiredPut your medals into your basic Auto until it hits Lv 10. Everything else waits.Stop at Lv 10 for now; the rest comes after the upgrade to 4 Stars.
- 8PassiveLv 5 to Lv 10RequiredPassive goes from Lv 5 to Lv 10 now. Hold off on every other skill.Stop at Lv 10 for now; the rest comes after the upgrade to 4 Stars.
Low investment and nice improvement accross the board here that absolutely is worth it before starting to get more seelctive on what skills you actually upgrade next.

DVA’s Exclusive Weapon + Mythic Awakening
When we take a look at her Exclusive Weapon, which becomes available in Season 1 – The Crimson Plague, there is not much strategy as you will linear unlock the Exclusive Weapon skill at Level 1, Level 10, Level 20 and Level 30. The all have a huge boost but even each single level provide her a base stat boost that will scale through her full kit. And every Exclusive Weapon level you add for DVA will increase her HP, Defense and Attack by roughly 10% for EACH level so the power she gains from that in incredibly much. If you use her, get the Exclusive Weapon levels and I can assure you they will make her one of the top heroes in Season 1. And in Season 6 you are able to unlock her awakening which is an ever stronger jump in power but requires her Exclusive Weapon to be Level 20. Worth it for sure if she is a hero you are using on a frequent basis but focus on one awakening per season or you will spread your resources too thin.
Conclusion
I hope this guide helped you to build your DVA without just pumping your manuals into the skills. I assure you this will make your progress in Last War Survival a lot faster and get the biggest bang for your buck in terms of making the skills rock that really make a big impact espcially as costs get higher and higher.
