Basic Tutorial

## **Where do I get new characters?**

There are several ways. Let’s go through them one by one:

* Get trophies in battle. This unlocks not only characters, but also new game modes, and earns you nice bonuses like donuts. To collect your reward, open the trophy screen and see what you managed to unlock.
* Buy characters in the shop. The assortment of goods is updated from time to time, and rare characters routinely appear for sale. If you don’t know how to spend your Koins, characters are the neatest investment.
* Get characters from the Donut Pass. If you can’t find a character this season, wait until the next one—we love adding something fun to the Donut Pass.

## **How do I play Donut Punks with my friends?**

### **Create your own team**

Step 1. Tap on the “Team play” button.

Step 2. Select “Create”.

Step 3. Share the code with your friends. You can show it, send it as a text, or tap on the “Share” button to send a link. Choose what is more convenient for you!

Step 4. Wait for your friends to join the game.

Step 5. Choose the mode you want to play.

Step 6. Tap the “Fight” button. The battle will start, if all the players changed their status to “Ready”.

Step 7. Enjoy fighting zombies side by side with your bros!

### **Join an existing team**

Step 1. Tap on the “Team play” button.

Step 2. Select “Join”—enter the code that your friends sent you.

Step 3. Tap on the “Ready” button and wait for the team leader to start the battle.

Step 4. Excellent! (air guitar noises) The battle has begun and now you can clobber zombies with your friends.

### **How do I change characters when I’ve already joined a team?**

Tap “Back” on the “Team play” screen.

Tap on the character and choose a new one. You can change stands or graves the same way.

Then exit to the main screen and tap “Team play” again to return to your friends.

**Note:** while you’re changing characters, your status says “Busy” under your character’s name for other team members to see.

### **What does each status mean?**

Statuses help to understand whether the participants are ready to do battle

 Offline
 Not ready
 Busy

### **Life hacks**

* If you don’t know who to play with, check out our Discord. There you can find teammates and exchange team codes.
* Only the team leader, the one who created the team, can choose the game mode.
* To start the battle, all the players on the team must change their status to “Ready”. If someone is holding the team back, you can tap on this player and tap “Kick”.
* If you want to change teams, tap on the “Leave team” button. Then you can enter another code or create a team yourself.

## **What are Heroes Cards?**

When you upgrade your characters, you don’t only make them stronger, but you also open new types of attacks and perks.

To upgrade your character, you need to collect:

●  Donuts;

●  Heroes Cards.

### **Why do I need both types of items to upgrade my character?**

Cards contain experience points that make the character stronger.

And donuts are the source of energy that help gain this experience. Something like that!

> **Freezie explains:** “Imagine you have a whole bucket of half-melted ice cream. You’ll need a big spoon to eat it without getting yourself stained. The same thing’s with cards and donuts — to “load yourself up” (upgrade), you’ll need both “ice cream”(Heroes Cards) and a “spoon” (Donuts). Otherwise, there will only be dirt and chunks…”

## **How do I change the character’s skills?**

When you upgrade your character, you unlock new perks and attacks.

You may change them on the character’s status page.

1. Tap the icon of a perk, attack or superattack.
2. Choose the type of a perk, attack or superattack and tap its card to see more details.

Done! Go to battle and try out your new skill in action.

## **What is the point of Packs?**

You see a Pack? Then you can expect some goodies.

In usual Packs, you might find:

● Character cards;

● Donuts

Fancier Packs contain:

●  Item cards.

Awesome, but what’s the catch? The apocalypse has happened, so there are unattended Packs scattered all over the world, and nobody knows for sure what is inside them. Some may contain small things, while others hold real gems.

The only way for you to know what's inside is to open the Pack.

There’s a little secret, though. Packs differ in their level of awesomeness: they vary from RegPacks to MonsterPacks. The more glamorous the Pack is, the more rewards it contains. That’s how it goes.

**Where do I get Packs?**

●  In Trophies, as a reward for winning a battle.

● In Donut Pass, as a reward for Battle Points.

●  In the Shop in exchange for Koins.

## How are modes different?

 Who plays
 Locations
 Difficulty

### **The mode is blocked, what should I do?**

Look in Trophies. That is where new modes are unlocked. When you collect enough trophies, go to that screen and select a mode — in this case, it will be unlocked.

## **What do I do with a Vault?**

Aaaah!!! There are mysterious numbers in the mode screen!

This is a Vault. No need to panic — we’ll tell you what you need.

A Vault is used to store Donuts and Battle Points, which you receive from battles.

If a Vault is empty, you won’t be able to receive Donuts and Battle Points in battles. But at the same time, you will continue to receive trophies.

Fortunately, Vault storage is constantly refilled — it usually takes a couple of hours.

Go back when the Vault is refilled to collect Donuts and Battle Points in battles again.

### **How do I make the Vault bigger?**

The more experienced your characters are, the more efficient your Vault is. Win battles to get more trophies and unlock Vault upgrades.

> **Freezie explains:** “Donuts fly from barrels into this thing called a Vault. This is a giant fridge where Donuts are safely stored. But the Vault doesn’t have enough power to refrigerate all Donuts! That’s why sometimes, you have to wait until it cools down. Donuts get spoiled quickly in the heat, so there’s a chance you’ll receive nothing after a battle.”

## **Buyer’s Guide. What can I buy with Donuts and Koins?**

### **If you have a lot of Donuts…**

Go to the character’s page and see who you can upgrade.

### **If you have a lot of Koins…**

●  Unlock them with the Premium Pass to collect seasonal rewards.

●  Have a look in the shop and follow your heart. If you care more about beauty, take skins, stands, or graves. If you want strength, grab Donuts, Syrups, or Boosters.

Or everything at once!

## FINANCIAL TACTICS FROM PUNKS

Fear not, there will be no boring crap like loans. Only crypto, only hardcore! So, here’s how you can get hold of something useful in Donut Punks:

* Collect koins in Donut Pass! To do this, it’s enough to participate in battles, receive BattlePoints and not to forget to claim rewards in the Donut Pass.
* Take your time and don’t spend your koins right away! Hold on to them first, or as we, crypto experts, say—HODL!
* And while you’re saving koins, go to championships and try to break into one of the higher leagues.
* When do you spend koins? The moment it becomes more and more difficult to win championships. When you join the next tournament, go to the store and spend all your koins on donuts! They will be taken into account in the championship and help you win!

Bam! and you’re on top of the world with a hefty prize, for example, a new punk or a skin. And just like that you can get the coolest rewards at no extra cost! P.S. And don’t forget that you can always double your donuts in battle results by watching ads.

## **What are ranks for?**

You will receive trophies for winning battles. Apart from unlocking new rewards, they also boost every single character’s rank.

The higher the rank, the more experienced and awesome the character is. And so are you!

When you go into a battle, the game searches for opponents with the same rank. This means you will be playing against evenly matched players.

## **How do I complete missions?**

### **What are missions in the first place?**

They are special tasks that are automatically assigned to all your characters. Every mission has a goal, and you get a prize once you complete it.

To complete the majority of missions, you simply have to play: go into battles, level up, and change the character’s appearance.

How do I start completing missions?

1. Participate in several battles in the beginning of the game and unlock Missions in Trophies.
2. Play more, and more, and more. In missions, your achievements are taken into account. You don’t even have to accept tasks!
3. You can see your achievements and tasks on the Missions screen.
4. You can collect all your rewards there as well.

### **There are lots of missions. How do I find my way around them?**

Pay attention to a prompt sign. If you see it on a character’s or mode icon, this means the mission is related to the character or mode.

Continue to play, and you will definitely receive a reward.

### **I have run out of tasks!**

You’re a beast! Part of missions get updated once a day, others — once a season. There are also heroic missions which appear gradually. Basically, if you scour the interface and wait, new missions will definitely appear.
