The Profession System

The Profession System lets you earn profession points and spend them on skill trees that improve construction, research, resources, war strength, and seasonal progress.  This page explains what the system is, how to use it, and which early skills are worth focusing on first.

What Is the Profession System?

• The Profession System is a seasonal progression system where players choose a profession path and unlock skills over time.  These skills can help with building, research, resource gains, seasonal upgrades, combat power, and alliance/event performance.

Which Profession Should I Choose?

• ALL players should start with Engineer early because it helps with growth, upgrades, and seasonal development.

• War Leader is better once the fighting starts for players with very strong squads who are more focused on fighting, leading rallies, PvP pressure, and combat performance.

• If you are unsure at all, START ENGINEER.

Best Early War Leader Skills

• Skills that help during Desert Storm, Enemy Buster, and Warzone activity

Kianzo’s Advice

Do not spend profession points randomly.  Pick a path, focus on the early skills that help your current role, and avoid spreading points into things that do not help your immediate goals.

For most LOCKDOWN members, going with Engineer first is the best and safest choice because growth and seasonal progress help the whole alliance.
