How to play guide for Doomsday: Last Survivors

This page will serve as a basic **how to play guide for *Doomsday: Last Survivors***. While there is very little information available at this time, we urge you to check back often, as new information is being added all the time! Feel free to edit this guide with any tips, tricks, and suggestions.

### Economy

##### **Keep your resources balanced**

You will need them to be able to level up your constructions, so it is very important to always have resources available for your quick growth, however if the amount of your resources exceeds that of your resource shelter where they are protected, stronger players may be interested in attacking you to steal them. Make sure to collect resources regularly and use them strategically.

##### Train as many troops as you can

To collect resources, you use your troops. The more troops you have, the greater the resource capacity you can collect.

Troops are not only used for collection, they are extremely important for attacking zombies and other players, as well as defending your shelter.

There are four types of troops: **Infantry**, **Range/Shooters**, **Riders** and **Engine/Automobiles**. Each of them has their own strengths and weaknesses.
For example, the Automobiles are not good for battles against zombies and other players, as it is weak against other 3 types of troops, but it is very good for collecting resources, as it has a greater capacity to carry more resources (Load) and has a higher travel speed than Infantry on the map.

The troops are divided into **six levels**, which increase their ATK, DEF, HP, Travel Speed, Load, and Power stats.
Higher level troops have a significant advantage over others, so try to get them as quickly as possible. The quality of troops is better than the quantity, but if you don't have access to high-level troops, such as at the beginning of the game, quantity is key to your evolution and survival. **So train many troops!**

### Alliance

##### Join a good alliance

Being part of an alliance can be extremely helpful as it allows you to have companions who can help you conquer territories and defend against attacks. Make sure to always donate to the alliance technology and participate in team battles and events. You can earn various useful rewards for participation.

### Heroes

##### Upgrade your Heroes

They are extremely important, your survivors are your main source of collection, defense and attack. Make sure to upgrade them strategically, assigning them to work on resources or attacks, and training them to improve their native skills

Explore the Heroes page to learn more about them and how to upgrade their skill tree.

But why is it so important to upgrade your heroes? **The higher the level of your hero, the greater the capacity of your squad!**

## Tips and tricks

### If you want to level up quickly

#### Focus on the important buildings.

**The goal is to evolve your headquarters as quickly as possible.** So, only evolve the buildings that your headquarters requires for its evolution. Evolve only one building to the necessary level, not all of them. With the evolution of your headquarters, up to 4 new construction buildings will be unlocked. For example, the farm - you need to evolve it to unlock the next level of your shelter. If you don't evolve the farm, the shelter will be stuck. You don't need to evolve all of the buildings on the farm, just one is enough.

#### Upgrade your Alliance Center

The higher the level of your Alliance Center, the more helps you can receive from your fellow members.
Visit the Alliance Center page to learn more.

#### Upgrade few Heroes

The best tip I can give, which I wish I had received when I started playing is...

Focus on a few specific heroes at the beginning.

##### To lead the attack squad

* Liam Macfadden (Elite Hero)
* Charlie (Elite Hero)

##### To Kill Zombies

* Jaden (Legendary Hero)
* Peggy (Uncommon hero/Elite Hero)
* Capt. Russell (Elite Hero)

##### For Collection

* Maxine Wincott (Legendary Hero)
* Angela (Uncommon hero)
* Michelle (Uncommon hero)
* Alexander Sokolov (Elite Hero)
* Andrew Morrisson (Common hero)
* Alisson (Common hero)
* Back Alley Doctor(Common hero)

Focus on the resource gathering heroes in the early days to increase the gathering speed and use the resources to increase the number of your troops for even more gathering. Then use the resources to upgrade your buildings and headquarters.

Once you have all four types of troops, keep training them and start focusing on Liam, Charlie, and Peggy. They are the easiest to level up as campaign and daily missions give experience packs and hero evolution cards for these characters. Jaden is also easy to level up, focus on defending your shelter and recruit him to kill many zombies.

### How to identify a good alliance?

##### As a beginner player

Choose an alliance with a high number of active players, so you can receive help to speed up your constructions. **Focus on training your troops.**

##### When you reach a better power level (> 2.000.000)

Start looking for another alliance, preferably one with a lot of alliance towers that will demarcate the territory of the alliance. When you collect resources in that area, you will receive speed bonuses and other benefits. Also, focus on conquering new areas such as Bridges and Villages that give exclusive bonuses to the alliances that conquer them.

Talk to your alliance members and also with neighboring alliances to make friends and have important allies for future wars to protect conquered territories. There is a hierarchy within the alliance, and if you participate in events and have power, you will climb the hierarchy and may become a commander. There are 8 positions for commanders in an alliance, and they have special bonuses for each type of command. For example, the Logistics Officer has a 10% bonus in collection speed and 10% in resource production. Evolve your power and talk to your guild leader to secure your place as R4.

##### When you are already strong (>6,000,000)

You can create your own alliance and be an ally of your old alliance (or not). Call your friends to help you until you have a good number of companions. Or just make the way you want, you are the leader now. Good Luck!

##### Stay tuned to missions and events

The game may have missions and events that offer valuable rewards. Make sure to stay tuned to them and complete them whenever possible.
