For Last Z R4s and R5s whose State is in a merger or migration bracket. Checked October 31, 2026.
Short answer: Last Z merges States in brackets on fixed dates. The next announced merger is for part of S513 to S544 on November 3, 2026. Migration runs separately, bracket by bracket, with Regular States getting 1 Elite and 5 Advanced slots. The S65 to S128 migration is delayed, with no new date yet.
Last Z: Survival Shooter now posts State mergers and State migrations as two separate announcement tracks. Mergers fold small States together. Migration lets players move between States, with a fixed number of slots per rank.
Both change who you fight in SvS, State Ruler and Canyon Clash. Here is every date announced so far, what the rules say, and how to prepare your alliance.
Announced State mergers
Each merger announcement names one bracket, a date and the exact States in scope. States in the bracket that are not named do not merge.
| Bracket | Merger date | States named | Announced |
|---|---|---|---|
| S289 to S320 | July 28, 2026 | 8 | July 22 |
| S1 to S64 | September 15, 2026 | 16 | September 3 |
| S449 to S480 | October 13, 2026 | 8 | September 29 |
| S193 to S256 | October 20, 2026 | 8 | October 15 |
| S481 to S512 | October 27, 2026 | 8 | October 16 |
| S513 to S544 | November 3, 2026 | 8 | October 23 |
What the official notice says about every merger:
- All character data is kept.
- If you have characters in several States, you can still log in to each of them after the merge.
- Some event progress might reset or not carry over. Check the in-game notice after the merge.
- Later merges go in stages, based on how stable each State is and its data. There is no full calendar.
How State migration works
Migration results come out bracket by bracket, about two to five weeks before the migration event opens. Last Z says the result is a data-driven evaluation, mainly based on:
- the overall Power of all survivors in the State,
- the strength of survivors with Elite and Advanced migration ranks,
- data from large battles such as State Ruler.
Each State then gets a label, Regular or Exclusive, and a set of migration slots per rank.
| Migration rank | Regular State slots | Exclusive State slots |
|---|---|---|
| Elite | 1 | 0 |
| Advanced | 5 | 3 |
| Medium | 40 | 40 |
| Basic | 60 | 60 |
The slot numbers come from the October 2026 results. On September 18 Last Z corrected two States that were wrongly labelled Exclusive and confirmed the rule: a State is never Exclusive twice in a row.
Announced migration windows
| Bracket | Migration opens |
|---|---|
| S1 to S64 | September 18 |
| S385 to S416, S657 to S672 | September 25 |
| S417 to S448 | October 2 |
| S449 to S480, S673 to S688 | October 16 |
| S193 to S256 | October 23 |
| S481 to S512 | October 30 |
| S513 to S544, S689 to S704 | November 6 |
| S257 to S320 | November 13 |
| S545 to S576 | November 20 |
| S705 to S720 | November 27 (S713 is Exclusive) |
When the window opens, the Migration Interface shows the options your State has, based on its result.
The S65 to S128 delay
On October 26 Last Z apologised for changes to the S65 to S128 migration and said the team is still confirming the real schedule. A new announcement will follow. Until then, treat any date you hear in chat as a rumour.
How to read your result
- Regular State with an Elite slot: one top account can come in. Know who is shopping your State before the window opens.
- Exclusive State: no Elite slot and fewer Advanced slots. Your State is protected from the very top movers this round, but expect the label to flip next time.
- Medium and Basic slots: 100 slots in total. This is where most alliance recruiting and most poaching happens.
For spenders and alliance leaders
- Lock your core before the window. Ask members who plan to move to tell you now. Losing a rally lead in week one of a new SvS hurts more than any one recruit helps.
- Recruit for the slots you actually have. In a Regular State you can bring in one Elite and five Advanced accounts. Talk to them before the window opens, not on day one.
- Hold big spend until after a merger. The notice says some event progress may reset. Load credits ahead, but buy event packs once the merged State is live and the event is running again.
- Plan the first SvS together. Merged States meet new rivals. Our SvS preparation guide has a prep checklist, and the alliance leader page explains how leaders work with Packsify.
