📅 Week 2 – Base Building

Week 2 is about scaling up your Virus Resistance, unlocking more Protein Farms, and stockpiling Immune Protein for the next wave of buildings in Week 3.

You should now have:

  • Virus Research Institute built and at least level 5+
  • 1–2 Protein Farms online and producing
  • Access to more Mutant Crystals through events

🎯 Main Objectives (All Players)

  • Upgrade Virus Research Institute to Lv15+
  • Have at least 2–3 Protein Farms unlocked and upgraded
  • Prepare Mutant Crystals + Immune Protein for Week 3 (Troop Bases, Military Outpost)
  • Participate in events for extra Protein, Crystals, and VRI EXP
  • Reach Virus Resistance ~5,000–7,000

🧑‍🌾 F2P Strategy

  • Upgrade VRI to Lv12–15 (stretch goal: Lv16)
  • Bring both Protein Farms to Lv10, unlock 3rd Farm
  • If possible, begin construction of 3rd Farm
  • Maintain even level distribution across farms (e.g. all at ~Lv10)
  • Save all extra Immune Protein for VRI and future Troop Base unlocks
  • Complete daily & weekly missions to farm Mutant Crystals

Engineer Advantage:

  • Faster build speed lets you keep 2 farms and VRI moving in parallel
  • Prioritize leveling Engineer profession to unlock “Build for Free” if not already active

💳 Light Spender Strategy

  • Push VRI to Lv18–20, targeting ~6,000+ Virus Resistance
  • Have 3 Protein Farms built, ideally all at Lv10–12
  • Use Mutant Crystals from event pass, missions, or small top-ups
  • Start saving Immune Protein for Week 3 troop buffs
  • Optional: Lightly upgrade Drone Center or Gear Factory if you have builder downtime

Engineer Advantage:

  • Strong synergy with Protein Farm management
  • Consider delaying switch to War Leader until VRI + Farms are stable

🐳 Whale Strategy

  • Max out VRI to Lv25–30 (aim for 9,000–10,000 Virus Resistance)
  • Build all 4 Protein Farms, bring them all to Lv15+
  • Use Immune Protein from bundles to stockpile for:
    • Troop Specialty Bases (Week 3)
    • Military Base (Outpost deployment)
  • Consider buying early Mutant Crystals to stay ahead of cap
  • Focus on one builder for VRI, one for Farms, one for tech

Profession Choice:

  • Stay Engineer unless you’re already fully built
  • Switch to War Leader only if participating in early city wars and you have >30M power

🛠️ Additional Tips

  • 🧊 Save Immune Protein for next week — do not overspend

  • 🔄 Upgrade Protein Farms evenly to avoid long upgrade gaps
  • 🚧 Use downtime on secondary builder for Radar, Component Factory, or Tavern
