📅 Week 4 – Base Building
Week 4 marks a shift from growth to war readiness. By now, you should be finishing up your Virus Research Institute, stabilizing Protein Farm production, and deploying your Military Base (Outpost) for cross-warzone PvP.
🎯 Main Objectives (All Players)
- Deploy your Military Base (Outpost) to prepare for city warfare
- Max out VRI (Lv30) for full 10,000 Virus Resistance
- Continue pushing your Troop Specialty Base to buff your main squad
- Keep Protein Farms producing efficiently
- Begin stockpiling Immune Protein and Mutant Crystals for long-term scaling
🧑🌾 F2P Strategy
- Finalize VRI to Lv25–30 (as resources allow)
- Push Troop Specialty Base to Lv10–15 for decent stat bonus
- Upgrade Protein Farms to ~Lv15, keep 3+ running
- Deploy Military Base only if you’re in an alliance that will help defend or utilize it
- Save most Immune Protein — don’t overextend if you can’t replenish weekly
Profession Tip:
Stay Engineer for another week unless you’re confident in fighting. War Leader isn’t worth it unless you’re frontlining with >20M squad.
💳 Light Spender Strategy
- Push VRI to Lv30 and complete Virus Resistance goals
- Level main Troop Base to Lv20 (or higher if possible)
- Get all 4 Protein Farms to Lv18+
- Deploy your Military Base near upcoming city fights — communicate with your alliance
- Focus remaining Mutant Crystals on high-ROI buildings (Troop Base > Farms > VRI)
Profession Tip:
Can consider switching to War Leader if:
- VRI is capped
- Main squad is over 20M+
- You’ll participate in offensive city war
🐳 Whale Strategy
- VRI and all Protein Farms should be maxed or near-max
- Push Troop Base to Lv30 for full +30% stat bonus
- Deploy Military Base and begin multi-city strategies
- Build & upgrade backup Troop Bases for alt squad types (optional)
- Use Immune Protein from bundles to stockpile for weekly farming or Troop Base alt paths
Profession Tip:
War Leader is now the default. If you’re running ops, capturing cities, or PvPing daily — swap and stay on War Leader.

📌 Final Tips Before Mid-Season
- 🛑 Don’t overextend your Military Base if you’re not protected — enemy alliances will target it
- ⚖️ Rebalance Immune Protein usage — you’ll need it for buffs, not just upgrades
- 🏗️ If you hit building walls, use that time to invest in power, tech, or gear
👉 That’s it for Week 4! After this, focus shifts toward combat, city control, and unit growth.
