LOJ Guides / Beginner's guide
Beginner's guide
Start here if you are new to Lands of Jail (some players call it Land of Jail). It tells you what to do first, which heroes you get for free, what to keep for events and which buildings to upgrade.
Community guide — the advice is from players, not game data. The levels, rewards, points and days next to it come from the game. Advice by LOJ Wiki dev · CasPop #135 · RachH94.
Where the advice comes from
- LOJ Wiki dev Tip from the LOJ Wiki dev's own play
- LOJ Wiki LOJ Wiki's own provisional hero ranking
- CasPop #135 Hero Tier List
- CasPop #135 CasPop's Whale Guide
- RachH94 Building Upgrade Order List
First steps
Do these in order. Each one says the Warden's Office level it opens at. They give free things.

Redeem a gift code LOJ Wiki dev
Shows from 典狱长办公室 Lv.5 (the server can turn it on earlier). Some builds hide it.
Tap your avatar, then 设置, then 兑换. Do it as soon as 兑换 appears: codes give free 钻石 and items.No 兑换 in 设置? Not every build has it. Use the “Redeem CDKey” tab on the top-up website for your version instead: pick your server and character, then enter the code.
Dev note: once the website said a code was wrong but the reward still arrived. Check your in-game mail before you try again.
Active gift codes Global (international) version ↗Vietnam version (Vượt Tường Thép) ↗

英雄宴: pick a 投弹兵 LOJ Wiki dev
From 典狱长办公室 Lv.6, when the server runs it.
The server decides when the 英雄宴 runs: the game has no schedule for it. The dev saw it on new accounts. You choose which of four heroes to host. Pick 敏妍&泰勋 or 萨米尔. Skip 岩门 and 维萨里昂: both are 盾牌兵 heroes. Both 投弹兵 heroes stay useful later, for free and paying players alike. -
Join an alliance LOJ Wiki dev
Around 典狱长办公室 Lv.7.
The 联盟 opens after your first 侦察机 Intelligence Task, and the 侦察机 unlocks at 典狱长办公室 Lv.7. So expect the 联盟 around 典狱长办公室 Lv.7. Pick an alliance that lets you in without approval. Your first alliance pays 400 钻石. -
Bind your account LOJ Wiki dev
The event opens at 典狱长办公室 Lv.10, on day 2 of your account. The task opens at 典狱长办公室 Lv.5.
Bind Facebook and Google in the 绑定有礼 event. Binding one account gives 守护协约（永久） + 1000 钻石; binding both gives 1000 钻石 more. The task “绑定账号” also pays 2,000 钻石. -
Get the PC version LOJ Wiki dev
From 典狱长办公室 Lv.15. Not every version has it.
The PC畅玩礼 event gives free rewards. You can claim them only in the PC version.
Top up on the website LOJ Wiki dev
The publisher has a top-up website for each version of the game. The two are nearly the same: use the one for your version.
- Global (international) version: gamermall.net/global/loj/recharge ↗
- Vietnam version (Vượt Tường Thép): nap.vuottuongthep.vn ↗
- The Store sells only 黄金手铐. You get +8% extra, and +10% from the US$99.99 pack (2,999,000 VND on the Vietnam site) up.
- Benefits has a weekly check-in on the web, once a day, that resets every Monday: 800 / 1,500 / 800 / 800 / 1,500 / 1,500 / 2,000 钻石, 8,900 钻石 a week. The rewards come by in-game mail.
- Both sites have a “Redeem CDKey” tab for gift codes. The global site also has a “Points” tab (top-up points).
- Log in with your User ID: tap your avatar, open 设置, then 用户中心, and copy the ID.
- An account from the Vietnam version cannot use the global site: it says “This service is currently unavailable in this region”.
- Careful: 黄金手铐 bought on these sites count for VIP and your top-up total only once you spend them in the game. Buying 黄金手铐 does not open the first-purchase bonus by itself; spending them on a pack worth US$2.99 or more does (the dev checked this in game).
Do this: Check in on the web every week, and buy 黄金手铐 there if you plan to top up.
Do this: Tick all six before you spend anything.
Golden rules
Six rules that save you the most.
One core team CasPop
Put your resources into one main team first. Do not spread them over many heroes.
One hero at a time CasPop
Finish levelling one hero before you start the next.
Shooters first CasPop
For tomes and hero gear, 枪械兵 first, then 盾牌兵, then 投弹兵.
Promote your troops RachH94
Every time a new troop tier unlocks, promote your soldiers to it.
4 stars is enough for skills
4★ is the star every skill needs for its top level (you still need the skill books). 5★ adds no skill level. A hero needs 475 shards for 4★ and 1,075 for 5★, counting the 10 to recruit. It is the same for every hero.
Do not spend it all at once LOJ Wiki dev
Keep your hero shards, speed-ups, gear materials, recruitment cards (补给卡 for 普通招募, 高级补给卡 for 高级招募) and 抽奖币I –X. Events give points for using them, so wait for the right event. The table below shows which one.
Do this: Pick one team and keep the rest of your shards.
Save it for the event LOJ Wiki dev
Events score the things you use. If you use them on the right day, the same resources earn you rank rewards.
新手锦标赛
A points race for new accounts: 6 phases, one a day, about server days 3 to 8. It opens at 典狱长办公室 Lv.6. You compete in a group on your own tier, and each day scores different things.

No day scores hero shards. Hero shards score in 王牌典狱长, on its 培养英雄 day (about server day 7). The tables below list it.
How to play it LOJ Wiki dev
- The final day decides. Before it, you only need to stay in the top 10 of your group (top 5 in 大师) to climb to 传奇.
- Keep your speed-ups for the final day. On the 城建加速 day, use only what you need to stay in the top 10 (top 5 in 大师). On the final day, finishing buildings and research turns into 实力 points.
- Save resources. In the 实验室, research only the 发展 tab and a little 经济. Leave 战斗 for the final day, because it holds the most 实力.
Research that needs 实验室 Lv.15 or lower adds about 397,000 实力 in 发展, 51,000 in 经济 and 764,000 in 战斗.
王牌典狱长: run 1 is days 6 to 11. It comes back from day 22, then every 14 days, and each run scores different things.

Level your 5 highest heroes. Every hero you put in a slot is raised to the level of the lowest of those 5. Only the level is shared: stars and skills stay the hero's own.
It opens at 典狱长办公室 Lv.13 with 7 slots, and grows to 17 slots. When a hero leaves a slot, the slot waits 24 hours, or 1,000 钻石 to skip.

4.英雄离开特训席位后，等级将恢复，且对应的特训席位需要冷却24小时，冷却时间结束后才可以重新选择英雄进入。
5.提升典狱长办公室等级，可解锁更多特训席位。
Do this: Level your top 5. Then fill every slot with your weaker heroes.

Hero tier list CasPop LOJ Wiki
Two lists, one for War and one for Arrest. S is the best, D the weakest. A hero in a high tier for Arrest may be weak in War. CasPop's list covers seasons 1 to 3; every other hero is ranked by LOJ Wiki (marked *).
| S | |
|---|---|
| A | |
| B | |
| C | |
| D | |
 复制型英雄 | At least as strong as the hero they sync with. A Sync hero takes a Legendary hero's level, stats and War Skills (same troop type). In War it fights in that hero's place, with 100.26% to 115% of that hero's War stats (more with its own stars), and the synced hero itself cannot march. In Arrest you can use either. Its passive buffs all your troops even when it is not deployed. Sync it with your best hero of that type. |
* LOJ Wiki's ranking for the heroes CasPop's list does not cover (seasons 4-7, the KOF heroes and a few others), based on our Gorilla and Ultimate Trial guides and each hero's skills.
Do this: Aim for the S and A heroes of your troop type. If you play free and have few Legendary (gold) heroes, at least avoid the D-tier heroes.
联盟
Special Alliance
For the first 7 days after a server opens, new players are put into a Special Alliance automatically, when their Alliance unlocks. It has no Leader and no Admins, and it groups players who use a similar language.
It becomes a normal alliance when any one of these happens: it is 2 days old, it reaches alliance Level 4, or the total power of its members reaches 30,000,000.
Then the member with the highest power who was online in the last 18 hours becomes Leader (R5), and the members ranked 2 to 5 by power become Admins (R4). The appointments are made once, when it converts. The game mails you: “您所在的新手联盟已晋升为正式联盟”.
Members who are offline for more than 24 hours are removed automatically. The game then mails: “由于活跃度未满足要求，您已被自动移出新手联盟。”
From the game's help.
A 幸运金蛋 holds free 钻石. When a member's 典狱长办公室 reaches one of these levels, one is sent to the alliance: Lv.10, 13, 17, 21, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30. More come from event packs.
Special eggs from event packs hold 10,000 to 50,000 钻石, for 20 Wardens each. You can claim at most 50 eggs a day.

2.通过活动礼包获得的特殊金蛋将进入金蛋仓库，可随时发送到联盟频道。
3.领取金蛋将随机获得钻石奖励。发送时您将自动领取一份金蛋奖励。
4.每个金蛋都有领取名额限制，并且在24小时后过期。领取人数满、已过期的金蛋无法继续被领奖。
Alliance hopping LOJ Wiki dev
Join open alliances and claim the Golden Eggs in each one. Eggs sent before you joined can still be claimed, and there is no wait before you can join again. The dev checked this in the game.
While you are between alliances, turn on a Shield so nobody can attack you. Tap the arrow under your avatar, open 监狱增益, then 防护罩. The free one is the （充能型）护盾（8小时）: it protects your prison for 8 hours. You can hold up to 5 Energy, and 1 Energy comes back every 7 days.
From the game:
每7天恢复1点充能；使用后在8小时内保护监狱免遭敌人的攻击和侦察。
Careful: in 夺取大蛇之力 the game says “您当前不在今日首次参与的联盟中，暂时无法参与” You can only take part with one alliance a day, so take part with your own alliance. The special egg of that event can be claimed only in the alliance you took part with that day: the game says “该类型的特别赠礼只能在您今日参与过活动的联盟领取！”
Careful: do not hop while 最强联盟 runs. The game says “更换联盟无法参与活动” and “活动开始时您原属于联盟，需重新加入该联盟才能继续参与活动。” If you leave the alliance you were in when it started, you cannot take part until you rejoin it. The dev saw that you can carry on after you rejoin, and your points are not lost if you go back. LOJ Wiki dev
最强联盟 comes about server day 15, lasts 6 days and is back every 28 days. Its window opens at 典狱长办公室 Lv.7. The help says you need 典狱长办公室 Lv.10 to take part, and at least 15 qualifying members in your alliance.
Show the game's help text
From the game:
1. 典狱长办公室需要达到10级以上方可参与活动，且本联盟符合条件成员数需达到15人。
2. 活动期间，若退出联盟，需回到原先的联盟才能够继续参与活动。
3. 活动开始前2天内，没有成员登录过的联盟无法参与活动。
Stay with the big spenders LOJ Wiki dev
For the long run, choose the alliance of the top spenders. When a member buys a pack that includes an 联盟宝箱, every member gets an 盟友赠礼I. The bigger the pack, the better the gift. The 钻石礼包 and the 黄金手铐礼包 give none. Some US$4.99 packs (每日特惠, 超值三重礼) give it 3 times. 黄金手铐 bought on the top-up website count too: spend them on such a pack in the game and every member still gets the gift (the dev checked this in game).
Show the table and the game's help text
| Pack price (US$) | Gift | Co-op Points |
|---|---|---|
| 0.99–5.97 | 盟友赠礼I | 60 |
| 9.99 | 盟友赠礼II | 120 |
| 19.99 | 盟友赠礼III | 240 |
| 49.99 | 盟友赠礼IV | 600 |
| 99.99 | 盟友赠礼V | 1,200 |
From the game:
1.当联盟成员集结击败野外怪物时，所有联盟成员都可收到战利品宝箱。
2.当联盟成员购买附赠联盟宝箱的礼包时，所有联盟成员都可收到盟友赠礼。
3.战利品宝箱和盟友赠礼内均有道具奖励以及协力值。
4.积累协力宝箱所需的协力值后，所有联盟成员均可开启协力宝箱，获得丰厚奖励。
5.联盟等级越高，便可开启越高级的协力宝箱，分享更多奖励。
Do this: Hop for the eggs now, then settle in an alliance with big spenders.

Not on RachH94's list, but you need them: 补给中心, 侦察机.
On RachH94's list the 操场 is last, but the Office needs it early. Follow the table first, then the list.
Building queues
- 队列1 is free and always yours.
- 队列2: the 建筑队列礼包 (US$2.99) makes it permanent. You can also rent it for 2,000 钻石 per 2 days. There is a free 15-minute try.
- 监狱房间: from 典狱长办公室 Lv.8, prison rooms can use their own queue (up to 5 in a row). It is not free: a 2-hour free try, then rent it for 2,000 钻石 per 2 days, or buy the 房间队列礼包 (US$4.99) to keep it for good.
- VIP makes building faster. It does not add a queue.
Do not buy the 建筑队列礼包: renting 队列2 costs only 2,000 钻石 for 2 days, and the game gives plenty of 钻石. Keep your money for better packs. LOJ Wiki dev
Do this: Follow the table, and use the room queue for rooms.
Spending smart CasPop
If you want to spend, this order gives the most for your money.
- 超值月卡
- 每日特惠
- Event packs, only during events like 王牌典狱长 that score spending and upgrades
- 特惠周卡, only if you play every day
- Tailored bundles
Skip the packs that are always in the shop.
“If it is always in the shop, it is priced for impatience.”No top-ups for gacha or skin events LOJ Wiki dev
Do not top up for gacha events, or for events whose top prize is a permanent skin. A skin adds only small stats (for example the permanent prison skin of the 新手锦标赛, 立誓之地: 部队杀伤 +3%), while events like 王牌典狱长 give hero shards, which raise your real strength. Collecting skins is for whales.
Serious about the top ranks? LOJ Wiki dev
If you are serious and want to spend for the top ranks, put the money into 凤鸣, 泰伦 and the three Synchronous Heroes (KOF). They only come from VIP and special packs and from events, and universal hero shards cannot be exchanged for them. Every other hero can be built with universal shards, and later seasons add older heroes to recruitment and free-shard events.
First purchase
Buy one pack worth US$2.99 or more to open a 3-day bonus. Day 1 gives 凤鸣. A 2nd and a 3rd pack of that price unlock days 2 and 3 at once. The game shows the price in your own currency. Buying 黄金手铐 itself does not open it, but a qualifying pack paid with 黄金手铐 does (the dev checked this in game).

黄金手铐
Show the game's help text
From the game's own help:
囚徒大陆公认的流通货币。
黄金手铐可用于购买礼包。
付款时，若黄金手铐数量充足，系统将优先使用黄金手铐支付。若数量不足，则无法用于抵扣金额，需按正常方式购买。
购买黄金手铐礼包时无法获得以下奖励：
1.无法解锁首次充值回馈。
2.无法获得【先驱竞赛】活动积分卡。
3.无法获得充值积分，但使用黄金手铐购买礼包时可正常获得积分。
4.无法完成【最强联盟】购买礼包任务。
Do this: Skip the always-on packs. If you want the first-purchase bonus, buy one pack worth US$2.99 or more.
