Earning credits faster
Credits pay for everything in Sky Lords 3D: new aircraft and extra bombs. Here is how to build them up without wasting any.
Bosses pay the most
Every enemy you shoot down earns credits, but bosses are the most generous: 500 credits for the B-21 Raider, 700 for the Tu-160 Blackjack and 1,000 for the SR-72 Darkstar. Reaching a boss and beating it pays more than long streaks of ordinary enemies.
Survive to reach the boss
A game lost before the boss earns little. It is better to play carefully and reach the fight with health and bombs than to rush and die early.
Spend in the right order
You start with 1,000 credits. The best early buy is a few bombs at 300 credits, which help you beat bosses and keep the rewards coming. Then aim for the Su-57 Felon (3,500 credits), the cheapest paid jet. Our jet comparison covers the rest.
Don't waste credits
Don't buy a jet just because it is expensive: pick the one that fits your style, dodging or firepower.
Every way to earn credits
You earn about 70 credits for every regular kill, and a boss gives a much larger reward: 500 credits for the B-21 Raider, then 700, 1,000, 1,300 and 1,600, and 2,500 for the Sky Lord. From mission 7, the MK II bosses give even more. Beating mission 12 adds a bonus of 3,000 credits and 5,000 points. The daily bonus is the safest source: the first day you play, you receive 300 credits, and every extra day in a row adds 100 more, up to 900 credits from the seventh day. Miss a day and the streak starts again from 300.
Spending them well
The Su-57 at 3,500 credits is the cheapest big upgrade, the Rafale at 4,000 is best for dodging, the Typhoon at 4,500 balances both, the F-22 at 5,000 is the all-rounder and the F-35 at 7,500 is the boss killer. Do not buy a jet because it is expensive. Pick the one that fixes your weakest point, and read the jet comparison first.
