Midtown

**Midtown** unlocks after completing Stage 2-9 in the game’s campaign mode. This game mode combines different elements of battles, puzzles, as well as rescues. When playing through this game mode, you’ll have to guide your heroes through a terrain and battle enemies up ahead, as well as rescue heroes to add to your squad. When entering, you have 48 hours to complete your objective.

## Description

### Background

Midtown is the dark and dangerous part of town. Enter with caution and pick your battles wisely to make you way through these streets.

You'll encounter heroes you may not have met before. Rescue them to have them temporarily join your squad and help you take down the Midtown zombies.

Clear areas to earn rewards, and get your hands on Midtown Coins to spend in the Midtown Caravan.

### Information

Midtown is the perfect place to test your skills and try out new heroes. After Midtown opens, you have 48 hours to explore before it resets. Use those 48 hours to roam around, fight battles, and acquire Midtown allies.

Your objective is to clear all 3 areas and take down all the Boss zombies. To reach the Boss zombie at the end of each area, fill your progress bar to 100%. You will progress 10% by winning battles, 5% for other tasks.

While traveling through Midtown, you will collect Tactics to help improve your allies' skills and abilities. These Tactics only apply in Midtown, and they will reset after the current Midtown session ends.

You can get Midtown Coins while making your way through Midtown. Use these Coins at the Midtown Caravan in the Hideout.

Complete campaign stage 14-30 to unlock Expert Mode!

In Expert Mode, there is only one are of Midtown to conquer, but the rewards collected and quests achieved are as great as beating all three areas in normal mode! Rather than fighting zombies, your team will face squads of each faction. Choose your heroes and tactics wisely!

## Battles

There are four types of battles in Midtown:

## Heroes

As you travel through Midtown, you will encounter tiles populated with wandering heroes. You can choose to rescue one hero per tile. Rescued heroes are then available for use in Midtown battles for the remainder of the current Midtown session. This is a great way to see what some other heroes can do! These wandering heroes may also include heroes you already own, but at higher levels. That is an opportunity to see how powerful they are on their way to becoming. When you encounter lost survivors, you have the choice to rescue or ignore. To rescue a survivor, choose one of four equally strong heroes to add to your Midtown squad. Tap the magnifying glass icon to see the hero's details before choosing. Your rescued hero will be available to you in Midtown for the remainder of the current session.

At the start of a Midtown battle, build your squad with any combination of your own heroes, hired mercenaries, and the lost survivors and berserker heroes you have rescued during this session. Heroes you have found in Midtown are marked with a blue pawn symbol at the bottom of their icon whereas hired mercenaries have a yellow pawn symbol.

Once you reach Area 3, you will start to encounter berserker heroes. You can rescue berserker heroes, but they are unpredictable. To gain their loyalty, you must first defeat them in battle. Once you rescue a berserker hero, they will be available in Midtown for the remainder of the current session.

Heroes rescued in Midtown can only be used in Midtown and only during the session in which they were rescued. Rescuing heroes in Midtown is a great way to try out strong heroes you may not have played with before.

## Health

In Midtown, heroes' HP carries over between battles. This means that if a hero gets injured or dies, they will remain injured or dead until healed or revived. There are three ways to heal your heroes.

## Tactics

After completing Normal, Elite, and Boss Battles, you get to choose from a random selection of three Tactics. Tactics are perks that will boost your heroes' stats and help your squad take down their enemies.

Tactics are only available for the current session of Midtown. They do not apply to battles outside of Midtown or carry over into the next Midtown session.
