Sanctuary 20
Early Game · Raising the Walls
Sanctuary 9–20
To upgrade your Sanctuary from level 19 to 20, you need Research Lab 19, Alliance Hall 18, Farm 10 and 247 Clinic stars. It costs 60M Grain, 60M Timber and 18.4M Herbs and takes 4d 23h 40m before any speed-ups. It raises your heroes’ level cap from 95 to 100. It also opens Squad 3.
What you need
To upgrade from Sanctuary 19 to 20.
- Research Lab 19 · my take: keep up with your Sanctuary
- Alliance Hall 18 · my take: keep up with your Sanctuary
- Farm 10 · my take: park for later
- 247 Clinic stars. Upgrade your Wards to earn them.
Those buildings have needs of their own. The Sanctuary build path plans every step from Sanctuary 19, on as many build queues as you have.

What it opens
New buildings
- Squad 3 · my take: when you have time to spare
More of a building
- Barracks: you can have 3 now
- Smelting Workshop: you can have 5 now
Troops
- Training Grounds 20 trains T7 troops
Research (Research Lab 20)
- Soldier: Attack Training VII and DEF Drill VII
- Alliance Duel: Top Rewards and Arena Master
- Elite Troop: HP Boost II, ATK Boost II and DEF Boost II
- Squad 3 (a new tree)
- Defensive Tactics: Burn the Boats I, Counterattack I, Defensive Stance I, Extra Infirmaries, Infirmary Expansion I and Fast Healing
- 55 more levels of research you already have
It also lets 28 of the buildings you already have go higher. From Sanctuary 7 on, a building can only be as high as your Sanctuary, which is why the Sanctuary sets the pace for everything.
Where it fits
Sanctuary 20 is part of the early game (Sanctuary 9–20). Finding your feet: learn the world and its events, settle into an alliance, and learn to work to the clock cycles.
Next up, Sanctuary 21 asks for Research Lab 20, Training Grounds 20 and Lumberyard 10, and takes 6d 16h 20m. Getting those ready while this upgrade runs keeps your builders busy.
