During the initial week of the season, players are introduced to a series of engaging missions and events designed to enhance their gameplay experience.

The journey begins with the unlocking of the Virus Research Institute, a key facility that players can access early on. Achieving this unlock requires completing specific mission objectives, which also contribute toward earning reward chests. These chests are unlocked once the collective activity of the entire warzone reaches a predetermined point threshold, fostering teamwork and collaboration.

Following this, players are prompted to unlock the Protein Farm, a vital resource-generating structure. Similar to the previous mission, its completion hinges on meeting shared activity goals, with reward chests serving as incentives for communal effort.

The third mission revolves around Genetic Recombination, a process that allows players to merge genetic fragments for enhanced capabilities. Progressing through this mission involves specific objectives, with rewards unlocked through collective contribution.

Next, the season introduces the unlocking of city levels. The first city unlock occurs at level 1, followed by an additional unlock at level 2. Each unlock requires fulfilling mission goals, which are tied to both individual progression and team activity, with reward chests awarded upon achievement.

An important event that starts immediately is Kimberly’s Exclusive Weapon: Rocket Shadow. This event runs concurrently with the weekly activities, offering players a preview of the weapon's attributes and skills, and featuring unique gameplay actions such as Purge, where players can cleanse polluted zones.

Throughout the week, there is also a Genetic Recombination event. This allows players to exchange genetic fragments with allies, recombine these fragments to improve their assets, and participate in exchange activities to bolster their progress. Recombination is governed by specific limits and time restrictions, encouraging strategic planning.

Finally, players can participate in City Clash Season 1, a competitive event that pits war zones against each other to earn additional rewards and prestige.

All missions are designed with two core components: a shared reward chest goal, which encourages collective activity to unlock valuable rewards, and individual mission goals that define the specific objectives and progression milestones for players. Notably, Kimberly's Weapon event commences from day one, even if it is not explicitly listed among the weekly missions, adding an extra layer of excitement and opportunity right at the start.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658829067d307f5f632303HVda2IGi03

The initial mission kicks off on the first day of Week 1, marking the beginning of the new season.

Players can access both the reward chest and mission objectives right from the start, ensuring immediate engagement.

The primary focus of this mission is to unlock the Virus Research Institute, which is essential for boosting your virus resistance capabilities.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965882b777d349c32865fca2SNX1ooa03

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965882ddb8bef2cbacd3869dNHjva9D03

The new resource section provides a comprehensive overview of methods to boost immune proteins and acquire mutant crystals, emphasizing efficiency.

The simplest approach involves several key steps:

  • Locate and eliminate high-level zombies using the magnifying glass tool on the map to identify their positions.
  • Progressively upgrade your protein farms to enhance resource generation.
  • Utilize the accumulated proteins to advance the Virus Research Institute, unlocking new capabilities.
  • Repeat this cycle to steadily improve your overall resources and infrastructure.

Caution is advised when engaging zombies: attacking those for which you lack suitable virus resistances can result in damage penalties. While you can still defeat some zombies despite these debuffs, expect increased troop casualties. If the damage reduction becomes too severe—especially when damage dealt percentage drops significantly—it’s advisable to avoid direct assaults. Instead, employ rally strategies as outlined in the game’s action guide to maximize efficiency and minimize losses.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965882fdc072e755f802781k941HqSr03

To minimize significant troop casualties, consider enlisting support from your allies:

  • Form a small hero team consisting of a single hero, ideally the one with the lowest command stat, to deploy fewer troops during the attack.
  • Initiate a rally targeting the doom elite monsters, inviting allies who possess sufficient virus resistance to effectively combat and eliminate the zombie threat.

Players are ranked individually based on the total amount they contribute through donations.

These rankings determine the distribution of special rewards, encouraging players to donate more to climb higher on the leaderboard.

The more a player donates, the greater their chances of earning exclusive prizes and recognition within the community.

This system motivates active participation and fosters a competitive spirit among players aiming for top positions.

Weekly Mission Overview

The initial week kicks off with an exciting mission available from day one.

Players can instantly access both the reward chest and the mission objectives, making it easy to start earning rewards right away.

The primary goal of this mission is to unlock and upgrade a series of protein farms, which are essential for progressing in the game.

There are several protein farms to unlock, labeled sequentially as Protein Farm I through Protein Farm V.

To unlock each subsequent farm, players must first level up the preceding one—meaning to unlock Protein Farm II, for example, you need to upgrade Protein Farm I.

The process for leveling up these farms is similar to that of unlocking the Virus Research Center.

For detailed steps on how to complete these upgrades, refer to the instructions provided earlier for unlocking the Virus Research Center.

The second day of Week 1 marks the beginning of this new mission.

Players can access the reward chest immediately, but the main mission objectives will become active after a 24-hour delay.

This mission aligns with the ongoing Season 1 Week 1 event known as Genetic Recombination, which is detailed here.

All warzones are interconnected, requiring players worldwide to collaborate in defeating a total of 2,000 monsters across the map.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658846777d349c32866022bOwzLi5P03

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658849db8bef2cbacd3a4729r6zmVr03

The mission officially begins on the third day of the first week, marking the start of a new challenge phase.

Players can access the reward chest immediately upon mission activation, but the main objectives are set to activate after a 24-hour delay.

Initially, the focus is on capturing level 1 cities, which are scheduled to become available in conjunction with the Week 1 City Clash event, known as City Clash S1. This event’s details are explained elsewhere but are crucial for understanding the timing.

It’s important to note that during Season 1, players have the opportunity to seize both military strongholds and cities. However, the mission’s goal to capture city level 1 will only be achievable once the City Clash S1 begins on day 4 of the first week.

Meanwhile, all warzones are working collectively towards the common objective of capturing a total of ten military strongholds, contributing to overall progress in the season’s early battles.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965884c18cea2fb9d39204co9GsjWON03

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658850b667a5e5e4a4bddffjqLdLmo03

The upcoming mission is set to commence on the fourth day of the first week.

Participants can access the reward chest immediately upon starting, providing instant gratification for their efforts.

However, the primary objective—the capture of level 2 cities—will only become achievable after a three-day wait, aligning with day seven of the initial week.

This mission structure closely resembles previous city unlocks at level 1, with a key distinction: the initial city capture for the reward chest is accessible right away, whereas the broader goal of leveling up to city level 2 is delayed.

All participating warzones will coordinate efforts to secure a total of ten level 1 cities, working collectively towards this shared milestone.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658852335401f66232ffd885SPKyRU03

Beginning on the fourth day of the initial week, players will gain access to an exclusive new armament for Kimberly: the Rocket Shadow.

To unlock this powerful weapon, certain conditions must be met:

  • Kimberly’s star rating must reach 5 stars.

While there is flexibility in when you activate Rocket Shadow—allowing you to do so at any time—you should note that her special weapon battle pass, which provides the essential resources for unlocking, will only be accessible until the end of day three in week two.

To successfully activate Rocket Shadow, players will need to gather and utilize the following items:

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658853f463debc2e10214eBbfT5MuL03

Once the weapon has been activated, you can additionally utilize the following items to enhance its level and improve its performance.

Rocket Shadow Overview

The Rocket Shadow is a powerful upgrade option available in the game, capable of reaching up to level 30. Achieving maximum level requires a substantial investment of items, making it a costly but rewarding endeavor.

Enhancements Provided

This upgrade significantly boosts hero attributes, including health points (HP), attack power, and defense capabilities. Additionally, it grants an all-damage resistance, providing better survivability during battles.

Special Benefits

One of the key advantages of the Rocket Shadow is its ability to elevate Kimberly’s skills to their maximum potential, further enhancing her effectiveness in combat.

For a detailed demonstration of the activation process and the resulting power enhancements, refer to the video linked at the end of this paragraph.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658853f463debc2e10214eBbfT5MuL03

The activation of the Rocket Shadow begins on Day 1 of Week 1 and continues for a full week. This event directly influences hero attributes, adding a strategic element to gameplay.

As soon as the event kicks off, the game tracks the highest-level zombie defeated by each commander during the season. These records are used to establish rankings, with higher zombie levels earning better positions. If multiple commanders defeat zombies of the same level, the tie-breaker is the speed of kill, rewarding faster eliminations with higher ranks.

Rewards are allocated based on the final standings at the end of the event. The top-ranked commanders receive more valuable rewards, which are sent via in-game mail once the event concludes. Throughout the week, daily updates on rankings are provided to keep players informed of their standings and motivate continued participation.

Event Overview

The inaugural mission kicks off on the first day of week one and continues for a total of thirteen days.

Throughout the event, alliances work to seize and control strategic military strongholds, with the duration of their hold being meticulously tracked and ranked accordingly.

The ranking system favors alliances that capture higher-level strongholds, with the level serving as the primary criterion. When multiple alliances hold strongholds of the same level, the speed at which they secured these positions becomes the tiebreaker, favoring those who captured faster.

Daily settlements are conducted during the event, where rewards are allocated based on the alliance’s current standing. Higher-ranked alliances receive superior rewards, which are distributed via in-game mail at the end of each settlement.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965887d777d349c328660feA5msu35L03

The event kicks off on the third day of the first week and continues for a total of 47 days.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965882ddb8bef2cbacd3869dNHjva9D03

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658880067d307f5f632747ic4krbxF03

In the new resources section, players can acquire six distinct types of genetic fragments by engaging in various activities.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/696588813787ff42c26335d7zBBpY34m03

Participating in the event is straightforward and beginner-friendly. As long as you possess at least one piece of each genetic fragment type, simply clicking the recombine button will initiate the process and instantly grant your rewards. There’s no risk of making errors during this step.

Don’t worry if your genetic fragments are scarce at first. With consistent daily play and regular recombination, your collection will rapidly grow. After just a day or two, you'll find yourself with an abundance of various fragments—often exceeding 200 to 300 of each type by the end of the season.

The event requires collecting a complete set of genetic fragments, from I all the way to VI, as demonstrated in the accompanying video. To check your progress and reward rates, just click on the question mark icon for detailed information.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658883c589b4597c02418a7G9ZbJlq03

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658885aa43b2e4272e57d63aiP8goa03

At the beginning of the event, players are granted an initial total of 10 genetic recombinations to use immediately.

Every two hours, this recombination quota increases by one, allowing for more exchanges over time. However, there is a cap in place, and the maximum number of recombinations that can be held at any moment is 30.

Players can enhance their genetic resources by trading fragments with allies. To do this, simply click on the exchange button located above the genetic fragment you wish to acquire or on the top right corner of the screen where the exchange icon resides.

While there are no restrictions on how many exchanges you can initiate, only one exchange can be active at any given moment.

To begin an exchange, choose the fragment you want on the left side of the screen and the fragment you are willing to trade on the right. Confirm the trade by clicking the exchange button, then share the offer with your alliance group and wait for acceptance.

Once an ally accepts your trade, the exchanged fragments will be immediately available in your recombination section, ready for use.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/69658888dc072e755f802b0cd5HzY6pV03

When an ally initiates a trade proposal, it appears in the allies' exchange area, allowing you to review and accept the offer if you wish.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965888b85523d10d35a74a9GMQMcscJ03

This segment details potential trading options available to players.

On the left, you'll find the items or resources that an ally is offering to relinquish, while on the right, the corresponding items or rewards you can receive in exchange.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965888d067d307f5f6327e3im1s6Zhj03

You can now facilitate trades directly through the chat when an ally shares an exchange offer in the alliance group chat. Simply tap the exchange button that appears within the chat message and confirm the transaction to proceed.

Here's what your shared exchange will look like when displayed in the chat:

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965888edb8bef2cbacd3f6fzALV90iI03

In the chat, you can see the different ways fellow allies propose exchanges. To accept a trade, simply review the offer and click the accept button when you're ready.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/6965888f40982b07b52ef099gMPdNjkE03

This event marks the beginning of city captures.

It is designed to proceed until every city level has been unlocked.

For each new level requiring access, a countdown timer will be displayed on the event page.

https://c2c.fp.guinfra.com/file/696588925e06021e6cbaf578RRZjqvgs03

Once an alliance establishes a connection between their military stronghold and a city, they gain the authority to initiate a declaration of war on that city. Only one city can be targeted at a time by any given alliance. In cases where an alliance has neither military strongholds nor captured cities, they must first seize a level 1 military stronghold to unlock the ability to declare war.

Following territory connections, alliances are free to declare war on additional cities. During sieges, troops are vulnerable to toxin effects; boosting virus resistance is recommended to mitigate casualties. Siege warfare carries inherent risks, with some units potentially dying outright. Specific casualty ratios are detailed for each city.

Participants in city captures can earn first-time rewards, and all alliance members will receive city-related bonuses. Additionally, alliances are awarded loot chests, distributed by R5 members or designated officials such as butlers. Successfully capturing a city grants buffs to all alliance members and temporarily places the city under a protected status, preventing other alliances from declaring war during this period.

Refer to the cities section along with the rules for military stronghold and city capture processes for comprehensive details.
