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 典獄長辦公室 Lv.5 (the server can turn it on earlier). Some builds hide it.
Tap your avatar, then 設置, then 兌換. Do it as soon as 兌換 appears: codes give free 鑽石 and items.No 兌換 in 設置? 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 投彈兵 LOJ Wiki dev
From 典獄長辦公室 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&泰勛 or 薩米爾. Skip 岩門 and 維薩里昂: both are 盾牌兵 heroes. Both 投彈兵 heroes stay useful later, for free and paying players alike. -
Join an alliance LOJ Wiki dev
Around 典獄長辦公室 Lv.7.
The 聯盟 opens after your first 偵察機庫 Intelligence Task, and the 偵察機庫 unlocks at 典獄長辦公室 Lv.7. So expect the 聯盟 around 典獄長辦公室 Lv.7. Pick an alliance that lets you in without approval. Your first alliance pays 400 鑽石. -
Bind your account LOJ Wiki dev
The event opens at 典獄長辦公室 Lv.10, on day 2 of your account. The task opens at 典獄長辦公室 Lv.5.
Bind Facebook and Google in the 綁定有禮 event. Binding one account gives 守護協約（永久） + 1000 鑽石; binding both gives 1000 鑽石 more. The task “綁定賬號” also pays 2,000 鑽石. -
Get the PC version LOJ Wiki dev
From 典獄長辦公室 Lv.15. Not every version has it.
The PC暢玩禮 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 黃金手銬. 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 鑽石, 8,900 鑽石 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 設置, then 用戶中心, 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: 黃金手銬 bought on these sites count for VIP and your top-up total only once you spend them in the game. Buying 黃金手銬 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 黃金手銬 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, 槍械兵 first, then 盾牌兵, then 投彈兵.
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 (補給卡 for 普通招募, 高級補給卡 for 高級招募) and 抽獎幣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.
新手錦標賽
A points race for new accounts: 6 phases, one a day, about server days 3 to 8. It opens at 典獄長辦公室 Lv.6. You compete in a group on your own tier, and each day scores different things.
The tiers, lowest first (the number is how many of a group move up):
- 入門 (10)
- 精英 (10)
- 大師 (5)
- 傳奇
From the game's help:

No day scores hero shards. Hero shards score in 王牌典獄長, on its 培養英雄 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 大師) to climb to 傳奇.
- 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 大師). On the final day, finishing buildings and research turns into 實力 points.
- Save resources. In the 實驗室, research only the 發展 tab and a little 經濟. Leave 戰鬥 for the final day, because it holds the most 實力.
Research that needs 實驗室 Lv.15 or lower adds about 397,000 實力 in 發展, 51,000 in 經濟 and 764,000 in 戰鬥.
王牌典獄長: run 1 is days 6 to 11. It comes back from day 22, then every 14 days, and each run scores different things.

稀有英雄碎片, 史詩英雄碎片 and 傳說英雄碎片 turn into shards of a hero you already own, 1 for 1, of the same quality. They do not work for 泰倫, 鳳鳴, 歐米茄·盧卡爾, 特瑞·博加德, 不知火舞. The exception is SSR 米婭: she takes 史詩英雄碎片.
Do this: Keep them for the event day, then use them on the hero you star up.
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 | |
 複製型英雄 | 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.
聯盟
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: “您所在的新手聯盟已晉升為正式聯盟”.
Members who are offline for more than 24 hours are removed automatically. The game then mails: “由於活躍度未滿足要求，您已被自動移出新手聯盟。”
From the game's help.
A 幸運金蛋 holds free 鑽石. When a member's 典獄長辦公室 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 鑽石, for 20 Wardens each. You can claim at most 50 eggs a day.

| 典獄長辦公室 | Diamonds in the egg (shared by up to 30) | Wardens who can claim |

From the game:
1.加入聯盟後，當典獄長辦公室達到10 , 13 , 17 , 21 , 24 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30級時，自動向盟友贈送金蛋並分享至聯盟聊天頻道。
2.透過活動禮包獲得的特殊金蛋將進入金蛋倉庫，可隨時發送到聯盟頻道。
3.領取金蛋將隨機獲得鑽石獎勵。發送時您將自動領取一份金蛋獎勵。
4.每個金蛋都有領取名額限制，並且在24小時後過期。領取人數滿、已過期的金蛋無法繼續被領獎。
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 監獄增益, then 防護罩. The free one is the （充能型）護盾（8小時）: 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天恢復1點充能；使用後在8小時內保護監獄免遭敵人的攻擊和偵察。
Careful: in 奪取大蛇之力 the game says “您當前不在今日首次參與的聯盟中，暫時無法參與” 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 “該類型的特別贈禮只能在您今日參與過活動的聯盟領取！”
Careful: do not hop while 最強聯盟 runs. The game says “更換聯盟無法參與活動” and “活動開始時您原屬於聯盟，需重新加入該聯盟才能繼續參與活動。” 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
最強聯盟 comes about server day 15, lasts 6 days and is back every 28 days. Its window opens at 典獄長辦公室 Lv.7. The help says you need 典獄長辦公室 Lv.10 to take part, and at least 15 qualifying members in your alliance.
Show the game's help text
From the game:
1. 典獄長辦公室需要達到10級以上方可參與活動，且本聯盟符合條件成員數需達到15人。
2. 活動期間，若退出聯盟，需回到原先的聯盟才能夠繼續參與活動。
3. 活動開始前2天內，沒有成員登錄過的聯盟無法參與活動。
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 聯盟寶箱, every member gets an 盟友贈禮I. The bigger the pack, the better the gift. The 鑽石禮包 and the 黃金手銬禮包 give none. Some US$4.99 packs (每日特惠, 超值三重禮) give it 3 times. 黃金手銬 bought on the top-up website count too: spend them on such a pack in the game and every member still gets the gift (the dev checked this in game).
Show the table and the game's help text
| Pack price (US$) | Gift | Co-op Points |
|---|---|---|
| 0.99–5.97 | 盟友贈禮I | 60 |
| 9.99 | 盟友贈禮II | 120 |
| 19.99 | 盟友贈禮III | 240 |
| 49.99 | 盟友贈禮IV | 600 |
| 99.99 | 盟友贈禮V | 1,200 |
From the game:
1.當聯盟成員集結擊敗野外怪物時，所有聯盟成員都可收到戰利品寶箱。
2.當聯盟成員購買附贈聯盟寶箱的禮包時，所有聯盟成員都可收到盟友贈禮。
3.戰利品寶箱和盟友贈禮內均有道具獎勵以及協力值。
4.積累協力寶箱所需的協力值後，所有聯盟成員均可開啟協力寶箱，獲得豐厚獎勵。
5.聯盟等級越高，便可開啟越高級的協力寶箱，分享更多獎勵。
Do this: Hop for the eggs now, then settle in an alliance with big spenders.
Building
Every 典獄長辦公室 level needs other buildings first. Upgrade those, then the Office. No building can go above the Office's level.
The 典獄長辦公室 is more than power: its Building Details also show 罪犯等級 and 離線可獲得收益時長.

Not on RachH94's list, but you need them: 補給中心, 偵察機庫.
On RachH94's list the 操場 is last, but the Office needs it early. Follow the table first, then the list.
Building queues
- 隊列1 is free and always yours.
- 隊列2: the 建築隊列禮包 (US$2.99) makes it permanent. You can also rent it for 2,000 鑽石 per 2 days. There is a free 15-minute try.
- 監獄房間: from 典獄長辦公室 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 鑽石 per 2 days, or buy the 房間隊列禮包 (US$4.99) to keep it for good.
- VIP makes building faster. It does not add a queue.
Do not buy the 建築隊列禮包: renting 隊列2 costs only 2,000 鑽石 for 2 days, and the game gives plenty of 鑽石. 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 王牌典獄長 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 新手錦標賽, 立誓之地: 部隊殺傷 +3%), while events like 王牌典獄長 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 鳳鳴, 泰倫 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 鳳鳴. 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 黃金手銬 itself does not open it, but a qualifying pack paid with 黃金手銬 does (the dev checked this in game).

黃金手銬
Show the game's help text
From the game's own help:
囚徒大陸公認的流通貨幣。
黃金手銬可用於購買禮包。
付款時，若黃金手銬數量充足，系統將優先使用黃金手銬支付。若數量不足，則無法用於抵扣金額，需按正常方式購買。
購買黃金手銬禮包時無法獲得以下獎勵：
1.無法解鎖首次儲值回饋。
2.無法獲得【先驅競賽】活動積分卡。
3.無法獲得儲值積分，但使用黃金手銬購買禮包時可正常獲得積分。
4.無法完成【最強聯盟】購買禮包任務。
Do this: Skip the always-on packs. If you want the first-purchase bonus, buy one pack worth US$2.99 or more.
