State of Survival Guide: The Basics of Survival

Let's start this State of Survival Guide with the basics of survival so you don't get bitten by Zombies in the first few hours of your HQ.

Managing your base well

Your base is the most important element of State of Survival. At least, the place where you will spend most of your time.

Your base is the main focus of your actions in State of Survival. You will build essential buildings such as a barracks to recruit and improve soldiers or various buildings allowing the production of resources (sawmills, farms, etc.).

Your Headquarters (HQ) is the most important building of all. The level of your HQ will determine the maximum level your other buildings can reach. Improving HQ should therefore be a priority for every player.

Raising an army of fighters

Producing resources is essential for survival, but it won't be enough. In order to protect your base and discover the world of State of Survival, you will need to build up an army.

The Barracks and Gun Stands will allow you to train close combat andranged attack units respectively. The more these buildings are upgraded, the better the troops you can recruit.

The Wilderness: world map

When you are in your base, simply click on the Wilderness button to discover the State of Survival world map.

When you are on the world map, several actions will be available:

• attacking hordes of roaming zombies;
• conquering resource areas;
• attack another player's base or army.

For the last point, you will need a fair amount of firepower, so we will avoid the subject in this State of Survival guide for beginners.

Wandering zombies

When you start out, your fighters are usually not strong enough to take on other players. Just collect simple resources first by fighting wandering zombies.

You will easily find zombies of an accessible level for your fighters and will therefore be able to recover resources.

Resource areas

As you move through the world map, you will also discover resource points that you can conquer.

By placing your troops on one of these resource points such as refineries, you will have the opportunity to gain a large amount of a given resource.

State of Survival guide: exploration missions

If there is one thing that sets State of Survival apart from other games in the genre, it is the exploration missions. You will have access to them after having built the Citadel in your base.

The Citadel gives you access to different paths (depending on the level of the building) in which each step corresponds to a battle. You then send an army of three heroes.

During these missions, your heroes are confronted with waves of enemies and/or a boss and allow you to collect a large number of resources.

You will be able to choose theheroes you want to send and use their specific abilities for these exploration missions. After destroying all your enemies, you will be rewarded.

State of Survival Guide: beginner's tips to remember

Upgrade your buildings in order

One of the main tips in State of Survival that I could give you is to think carefully about upgrading all your buildings. However, it is best to follow an order to make these improvements.

While upgrading each building will be useful as it will increase your overall combat power, you should keep in mind to prioritise upgrading the Headquarters.

As mentioned before, while the level of your HQ determines the maximum level available for your other buildings, upgrading it will also give you access to new construction possibilities.

Your HQ should therefore be your priority, but don't neglect the other buildings. We advise you toupgrade your production buildings (farms, sawmills, etc.) in second place.

Follow the task list to find out what to do

In a game as complete as State of Survival, the player can sometimes feel lost and doubt the priorities of his actions. In this case, do not hesitate to refer to the list of missions.

Each chapter of the game contains several missions that give you access to numerous bonuses and resources.

Get together and be active!

As in many games of the genre, State of Survival puts the emphasis on alliances. Indeed, being part of an alliance will allow you to scare off a potential player who wants to attack you.

In addition to protecting you from possible attack, joining an alliance will give youaccess to bonus resources. You will also get help with the construction and improvement of your buildings.

Be careful though! As in any game of this kind, the alliance is interesting if it is active. Donate regularly to be an active member of your group.

Send your heroes on an expedition

After completing a few missions and upgrading your HQ, you will quickly gain access to new regions to expand your territory.

By sending your heroes on expeditions, you can build more buildings in your base.
