One of the most “logical” events to spend diamonds on in Dark War Survival is the Lucky Treasure (Lucky Wheel). Unlike classic wheels that only distribute resources or speed-ups, this event gives you the opportunity to obtain premium (paid) heroes through fragments with proper planning.
In this guide, I explain the core mechanics of Lucky Treasure, its costs, and the biggest update introduced after Season 3 — the ability to choose your hero — in a clear and understandable way.
When Does the Lucky Treasure Event Appear and How Long Does It Last?
- The event appears approximately once a month
- Each time, it lasts for 2 days
Since the duration is short, the “I’ll spin a little and leave” approach is usually inefficient. For the best results, you should save diamonds in advance and play strategically once the event starts.
Core Mechanics: Wheel + Milestone Rewards
Lucky Treasure works in two layers:
- Wheel rewards: Each spin gives one of the rewards on the wheel (luck factor)
- Milestone chests: After a certain number of spins, accumulated chests at the bottom unlock (planning factor)
For players targeting premium heroes, the most critical part is usually the milestone rewards. Because you may not get the fragment you want from a single spin, but as you continue spinning, milestone chests provide more consistent progress.
Spin Costs (Skulls / Diamonds)
You use “Skulls” to spin the wheel, which can be purchased with diamonds:
- Single spin: 1 Skull = 500 Diamonds
- 10 spins: 9 Skulls = 4,500 Diamonds
The advantage here: 10 spins are more cost-efficient compared to single spins. That’s why most players prefer 10x spins when spending diamonds.
Different Hero in Each Event
Another important feature of Lucky Treasure:
- A different hero is featured in each event period
This makes tracking the event valuable. If your target premium hero appears in that month’s wheel, saving your diamonds for that period is a much smarter move.
Biggest Update After Season 3: Hero Selection
Previously, when Lucky Treasure appeared, you mostly had to play with whichever hero was featured. However, after Season 3, a major quality-of-life improvement was introduced:
- You can now choose your hero
This change makes Lucky Treasure a much more powerful event. Instead of being forced to spend on the current hero, you can now plan your resources around the premium hero you actually want.
The key takeaway:
With the right choice, this event allows you to target not just one, but all premium heroes over time.
Most Efficient Strategy (For a 2-Day Event)
1) Save diamonds before the event
2 days is short. If you don’t have diamonds when the event starts, you’ll likely stop just before reaching important milestone rewards.
2) Focus on 10x spins instead of single spins
- Better cost efficiency
- Faster milestone progression
- More structured progress instead of randomness
3) Don’t waste the hero selection feature
With the Season 3 update, choosing the right hero becomes critical. Consider:
- Which hero do you actively use?
- Which hero are you missing the most fragments for?
- Which hero will improve your core power (arena/expedition/alliance wars) the fastest?
4) Target milestone chests
The wheel is luck-based, but milestone chests provide more reliable progression. For premium heroes, long-term consistency is more valuable than short-term luck.
Common Mistakes
- Spending diamonds little by little and failing to reach milestone rewards
- Choosing single spins over 10x spins (cost disadvantage)
- Making random hero selections despite having the choice feature
- Forgetting the event lasts only 2 days and rushing everything into the last day
Conclusion
Lucky Treasure (Lucky Wheel) is a highly valuable 2-day monthly event in Dark War Survival. Each event features a different hero, and after Season 3, the hero selection feature makes targeting premium heroes far more efficient and strategic.
If you manage your diamonds wisely, this event is not just a “wheel of luck” — it becomes a long-term hero investment system.
