🧟 Virus Resistance – PvE Focus

PvE Virus Resistance reduces the damage your troops take from infected enemies — this includes world map infected, campaign stages, event mobs, and Plague Crisis waves.

🧠 This stat becomes essential as infected enemies scale in level and strength. Without resistance, you’ll lose massive amounts of units in even basic fights.

🔍 Where PvE Resistance Applies

World map infected mobs (Lv31+)
Plague Crisis (Crimson Plague event)
Infected Cities (PvE city nodes)
Campaign / Doomsday fights
Alliance building defenses vs infected

⚠️ What Happens Without Resistance?

If you don’t build enough Virus Resistance:

Troop HP is reduced
Damage taken from infected increases drastically
Event waves become lethal by Stage 3–5
Your squad can’t progress PvE dailies or city farming

Even high-power players must hit resistance thresholds — power alone isn’t enough in Season 1.

🎯 Recommended PvE Resistance Targets

Week	Minimum Target	Result
Week 1	2,000–3,000	Clear early infected, Plague Crisis Stage 2–3
Week 2	5,000+	Clears most PvE mobs, Plague Crisis 5+
Week 3	7,000+	All infected on map safe to fight
Week 4	10,000	Max effectiveness — no PvE debuffs

✅ Hitting 10,000 completely removes PvE combat penalties — even vs high-tier infected.

🛠️ How to Increase PvE Resistance

Upgrade your Virus Research Institute (VRI):
- Each level grants +X Resistance (scales with level)
- Lv30 = 10,000 max resistance
Participate in Genetic Recombination and Plague Crisis:
- Earn Immune Protein and Mutant Crystals
- Use rewards to keep upgrading VRI
Maintain Protein Farm production:
- Immune Protein = required for all seasonal upgrades

👥 Player Type Advice

🧑‍🌾 F2P

Focus exclusively on VRI until Lv15+
Don’t waste Immune Protein on Troop Bases too early
Use Plague Crisis for daily rewards, even low stage clears help

💳 Light Spender

Push VRI to Lv20+ by Week 2–3
Use Genetic Recombination pass to boost speed
Keep 3–4 Protein Farms producing at all times

🐳 Whale

Rush VRI to Lv30 ASAP (usually by Week 2–3)
Use extra resources to also boost troop buffs afterward
Max resistance helps solo clear infected cities easily

✅ Summary

Virus Resistance is mandatory for PvE survival in Season 1
Start upgrading VRI from Day 1
Prioritize Immune Protein and Crystals for VRI until capped
10,000 Resistance = Full protection vs all infected
