🧑‍🌾 F2P Growth Path

Season 1 is fully playable as a Free-to-Play player — but success depends on efficiency, planning, and sticking to a focused growth path. This guide walks you through what to build, farm, and prioritize to stay competitive.

🎯 Key Priorities

• Focus on 1 squad type: Tank, Missile Vehicle, and Aircraft
• Level 1 strong 3-hero squad — don’t spread XP
• Max out Virus Institute early
• Join every Cure Event, Crimson Plague, and Walker Boss
• Always complete Season Pass free missions
• Save Crystals and Immune Protein for events

🔨 Build Path

🧠 Only upgrade buildings that boost troops, resistance, or progression. Ignore cosmetics or unused production.

🧪 Virus Resistance Plan

• Week 1: Reach 3,000–4,000
• Week 2: Push to 5,500+
• Week 3–4: Reach 7,000+ through Cure, Crimson, Walker
• Use all free Cure missions and walker rallies
• Donate to alliance Cure Events daily

🪖 Squad Development

• Focus on one squad type for your march: Tank, Missile Vehicle, or Aircraft
• Choose 3 heroes of the same type to activate the +5% synergy bonus
• Matching 4 heroes of the same type grants a +15% bonus
• Matching 5 heroes of the same type grants a +20% bonus (optional for late-game)
• Prioritize UR and Purple heroes with reliable passives and synergy

📌 Your main squad should be used for all rallies, PvP, and events. Avoid splitting power across multiple weak setups.

📆 Event Strategy

• Log in daily — consistency beats bursts
• Always do:
  • 🔬 Cure donations
  • 🧟 Walker Boss rallies
  • 🎯 Season Pass missions
  • 💰 Exchange Shops (Virus, Protein only)
• Save Crystals for high-value mission completions

💡 Bonus Tips

• Scout walker locations before reset
• Use your virus airplane daily to help alliance members
• Always reinforce cities, even with low troops — Influence matters
