State of Survival Events Guide: What Events Are Worth Your Diamonds

If you’ve played State of Survival for a while, you already know that events shape your progress.

‍

Whether it's Survival of the Fittest, Reservoir Raid, or a limited-time crossover event, timing your upgrades and spending during the right windows can massively boost your power.

‍

The strongest players on your server? They’re not just stronger because they spend more. They’re smarter about when they spend.

‍

In this guide, we’ll break down the State of Survival events that are actually worth your resources, which ones are best for growth, and how to spend your diamonds more strategically to get better rewards.

‍

Not Every Event Is Worth Your Resources…

‍

Let’s be honest: State of Survival throws a ton of events your way daily, weekly, seasonal. But that doesn’t mean you should throw your biocaps at all of them.

‍

Some give out small daily resources or solo milestone rewards. Not bad, but they won’t move the needle on your growth.

‍

If you're a spender, even a light one, you want your biocaps doing real work. So the smart move is to focus on high-impact events that give the best return:

‍

• Survival of the Fittest (SoF)

• Reservoir Raid and Reservoir League

• Capital Clash and State Warfare

• Hero Rank-Up events

• Holiday Events and limited-time crossovers

‍

How to Prep for the Big Events in State of Survival

‍

If you’re spending or grinding, preparation makes all the difference. You don’t want to burn through your biocaps only to realize the reward milestones were the next day.

‍

Survival of the Fittest (SoF)

‍

This is one of the best weekly events for both F2P players and spenders. Every day has different objectives: troop training, building upgrades, hero development, speed-ups, and more.

‍

The trick? Don’t rush. Save your tier 9 troops from intel missions, stockpile speed-ups, and line up your upgrades to hit daily point goals.

‍

Here’s your prep checklist:

‍

• Save speed-ups for research and troop days

• Train but don’t claim until the right day

• Upgrade buildings only when SoF milestones reward it

‍

Reservoir Raid & State Warfare

‍

These PvP-focused events can be brutal, but they also offer massive alliance and individual rewards. You’ll need advanced relocators, march speed-ups, and well-upgraded heroes to compete.

‍

If you're spending, this is where you get the best payoff.

‍

Here’s your prep checklist:

‍

• Stockpile relocators and stamina packs

• Coordinate with your alliance and scout matchups

• Upgrade heroes and gear before the event starts

‍

Holiday Events & Crossover Skins

‍

From Christmas and Chinese New Year to anime or film collabs, limited-time events are where the devs drop special skins, collectibles, and cosmetics.

‍

Sometimes they come with spend milestones that include rare heroes or frame skins. Other times, they're cosmetic fluff. Choose wisely.

‍

Your prep checklist for Holiday events in SoS:

‍

• Watch for hero unlocks or unique bundles

• Save hero search maps for skin-related point milestones

• Avoid spending early in the event, wait for milestones to activate instead

‍

Make Every Biocap Count…

‍

Timing matters. Just because an event is live doesn’t mean it’s time to spend.

‍

So first, spend around milestones, and not moments. Many events reward you at specific spend thresholds. Tossing biocaps randomly will leave you short. Instead, wait until you can hit the 3rd or 4th milestone tier for the real payoff.

‍

Next, stack events for bonus value. When Survival of the Fittest overlaps with a hero development or seasonal event, that’s your signal. Those rare overlaps let you double dip rewards with the same action (training troops, using hero frags, or upgrading buildings).

‍

And last but not least, remember that speed-ups = power. They might seem basic, but when used at the right time, speed-ups help you climb SoF rankings, unlock milestones, and even trigger biocap rebates. Time really is your most underrated resource.
