How to Win More Rallies in State of Survival (What Rally Leads Actually Do)

If you're leading rallies in Reservoir Raid, Capital Clash, or State vs State, you already know how brutal the margin for error can be. A few missing stats or a misclick in your Survival Guide setup, and boom… your entire rally crumbles.

‍

But the good news? You can absolutely fix it. And no, you don’t need maxed gear or a wallet full of biocaps to do it.

‍

If you want to lead smarter, stronger rallies, there are a few things you need to nail: the right Survival Guide path, the right stats for each mode, and a clever little trick that lets you boost your rally size without sacrificing combat power.

‍

Let’s break it all down.

‍

Ready to Lead Better Rallies? Here’s What Actually Works…

‍

1. Stop Wasting Points in Your Survival Guide

‍

Here’s where most rally leads go wrong: they spread their points everywhere hoping for a little bit of everything, but end up with nothing strong. Instead, take the straight path, and focus your points where they matter most.

‍

Start with Way of Infantry and keep pushing through to Mobile Forces and Long Range Power until you unlock Total Warfare III. From there, keep going along that same linear path until you reach Total Warfare IV.

‍

Why this works: it unlocks key troop-wide stat boosts early, which are way more important than minor bonuses like march speed or generic capacity. If it doesn’t boost your damage or durability, it’s probably not helping you win.

‍

‍

2. Stack the Stats That Actually Matter

‍

Let’s be honest, not every stat boost is created equal. If you’re jumping into PvP, whether it’s Capital Clash or RR, your focus should be tight and specific.

‍

The big four you want are: Lethality, Attack, Defense, and Health. These are your bread and butter. Every extra point in these makes your troops hit harder and survive longer.

‍

On the flip side, buffs like Gravity Thrash or march speed? Meh. Unless you're running for objectives or chasing ghosts, they won’t save your rally. And while rally size sounds great, it’s only useful if you combine it with a trick we’ll get to in a second.

‍

The real power comes from stat amplifications. They stack, and when done right, they can boost your combat stats by 100+ points. Yes, really.

‍

3. Use the Right Guide Books for the Right Fight

‍

You wouldn’t wear gathering gear into a rally, right? Same goes for your Survival Guide setup. If you're fighting in Capital Clash, make sure you're picking:

‍

• Capital Clash II for direct stat buffs

• Call of Arms II for massive amplification bonuses

‍

If you're in Reservoir Raid, switch to:

‍

• Reservoir Raid II for more relevant stat effects

• Still grab Call of Arms II, because it’s that good

‍

And if you’re running both events, no worries... Just reset your books in between. It takes a few clicks, but it’s worth every second.

‍

4. The Rally Size Swap Trick You Should Be Using

‍

Alright, here’s the part most people either overlook or don’t even know exists. There’s a trick that lets you get both the biggest possible rally and your best stats, but it requires a little timing.

‍

First, set up your Survival Guide to include every Rally Capacity and March Capacity node you can. Then, start your rally while those are active.

‍

Now here’s the trick: once your alliance fills the rally, go back into your Survival Guide and switch over to your stat-heavy setup, like Call of Arms II or Reservoir Raid II.

‍

The rally size stays the same, but now you’re stacking better stats on top. It’s a free power-up, and yes, it works in both Capital Clash and RR.

‍

Before You Gear Up for Your Next Rally…

If you’ve made it this far, you’re not just another filler… You’re here to rally smarter, lead harder, and make every slot in your march count. And when it comes to gearing up, upgrading heroes, or pushing VIP levels, it helps to stretch your budget.
