### FAQ

Q: We have clans now?

A: Yes! As of version 1.7.450, there are clans - called "Legions" in the game. See here for more details.

Q: What is this battle pass thing??

A: Battle Pass is a feature introduced in version 1.7.43 where you can claim additional rewards based on points you earn in daily missions. Rewards are earned in Seasons that last 27 days, and the timer starts the first time a player opens battle pass. There are free rewards (right column) and paid rewards (left column) which are awarded if you buy a Battle Pass ticket, once per season, which costs $20 in the US.

Q: What are the shard requirements to evolve fighters?

A: Here's what it takes to evolve for each star level:

Gold (1-5): 10->10->20->20->20

Red(6-10): 30->30->30->60->60

Violet (11-15): 60->80->80->80->110

Rainbow (16-20): 110->110->150->150->150

Total Shards: 1370

Q: What does it mean when I see "File Error" when I try to do an Event?

A: Sometimes the app loses track of how many times a player has done an event in a day, and may say that there are still attempts remaining. However, the back-end server keeps track accurately, and if it detects extra attempts it will return the "File Error". The message itself is not self-explanatory but that's what it means, and it goes away after the daily reset.

Q: What happened to drones? AKA: What are those two empty equipment slots?

A: New drone drops were completely removed from the game as of version 1.7.21. Players that already have drones can still use them, but nobody can get new ones. Drone modules still drop however, allowing a certain level of upgrades to be done. Developers have indicated that there will be something new to fill those empty equipment slots sometime in the future.

Q: My overall power is x, which is greater than the recommended power for a stage, but I can't beat it, why?

A: Treat the recommended power as an absolute minimum recommendation, not a guarantee. Beating higher level stages also requires considerable playing skill and strategy, as well as stage-appropriate selection of fighters, weapons and gems.

Q: What is this "bug" that people exploit to earn more gems and things?

A: It's been fixed, server side (i.e. it doesn't matter what version of the app you run). Sorry, you have to live with the free daily supplies now or pay for more. See the guides below for some advice.

Q: What are the best weapons to use?

A: Generally, the ones that are higher level (stars plus upgrades) are what you should be using. All things being equal, the Batarang and Blast Shotgun are considered the best mainguns, and Lightning Missile is considered the best missile. The answer can also depend on the fighter you use, a favorite combination is the Rattlesnake fighter with Standard Missiles. Although standard missiles aren't great by themselves, they become very powerful combined with the Rattlesnake buff.

Q: Does Fire Rate skill matter with Laser maingun?

A: Yes it does. It increases the frequency that the laser beam hits enemy ships.

Q: How do I get fighters?

A: You unlock and upgrade fighters by using fighter shards. Those come from equipment chests (standard, super and x10) and for inferno specifically, through the daily mission. As of version 1.7.20, the requirements for each fighter star level are: 10/20/40/60/80/100/??

Q: What is the best fighter?

A: Like equipment, the best fighter is the one you can upgrade the most via a large number of shards. For most starting players, this means inferno since the daily mission ensures that you can get a minimum of one shard per day. After inferno, players usually progress to rattlesnake or nightwing, and ultimately to phantom or syren (or conqueror which requires money investment).

Q: What skills are most important?

A: You should first buy the skills that specifically affect the weapons you have, and after that Increased Attack, Fire Rate and Critical, in that order.

Q: How should I play endless journey?

A: See the guide linked below. The most important thing to keep in mind is that Skills are more important than equipment upgrades.

Q: Are there any cheats and hacks?

A: Um, no. Developers are known to ban players that hack to gain unfair advantage. Read this wiki thoroughly, ask questions on the Discord and maybe message a friendly advanced player there and you'll know everything you need to know.

Q: Should I buy ad free?

A: Players are split on this one. Ad-Free in Wing Fighter is more expensive than in most other games, but if you can afford it and play the game seriously, it saves a lot of time and avoids bugs associated with ads. You don't get any special advantages other than skip all the ad watching. That gives you 10 chests, a revival, extra upgrades, 300 stars every time you dock in Endless mode, 50 energy refills, and more every day. It does add up.

Q: What happened to nanochips and pilot medals?

A: Those disappeared in version 1.7.18. Upgrading fighters and pilots now only requires shards.

Q: How do I transfer my game status to a new phone?

A: As of version 1.7.19, your progress and supplies are saved to your Play Store/App Store profile, so you can (almost) seamlessly switch devices and keep playing. On Android, if you switch devices you have to re-embed gems and re-select difficulty in Events, otherwise the switch is effortless. There is no way to transfer game status from Android to iPhone or vise-versa.
