Are you struggling to grow faster in State of Survival?
Whether you’re chasing Plasma HQ upgrades, trying to win in State Warfare, or just want to unlock stronger heroes and dominate events, progress takes strategy.
At first, it might seem like just another zombie base builder. But beneath the surface, SoS is packed with systems that can either accelerate your growth or stall your progress for weeks, especially if you're not spending wisely.
We’ve filtered out the noise to bring you 7 proven growth strategies that actually work. So if you’re ready to grow faster, spend smarter, and get ahead in State of Survival, this guide is for you.
Let’s break down the tactics that will help you scale up efficiently and stay ahead of the competition.
Leveling up fast in State of Survival isn’t just about grinding your dailies. It’s about using your time, resources, and events wisely so you can unlock Plasma HQ levels, power up your heroes, and stay ahead in the most competitive events.
Whether you’re pushing for stronger rally teams, prepping for State Warfare, or just trying to outpace your server rivals, these tips will help you accelerate your growth without wasting speed-ups or overspending on packs.
Let’s break down the 7 essential strategies smart players use to grow faster in SoS.
You might be tempted to stop at 3 rallies to complete your daily objectives, but if you want to grow fast, push for five Infected Fiend rallies every day.
Why? Because these give you a steady supply of hero appointment materials and behemoth items like cells, bio batteries, and serum.
These are valuable for both F2P and spenders, and you can earn them without spending a single biocap. Just coordinate with your alliance and get your rallies in early.
Service badges are essential for ranking up your hero appointments, but they’re almost impossible to get as a F2P player through events alone. Unless you’re consistently placing top 3 in events like Azurthane Heist, your best shot at getting them is the alliance store.
Skip the backup fragments and prioritize badges instead. You only get a limited number of alliance coins each week, so use them wisely if you want to level up fast in SoS.
Relocators are priceless when it comes to Capital Clash, SvS, or escaping a surprise whale attack. You’ll need dozens every week, so start stacking them the smart way:
Do it daily, and you’ll build up a healthy stash for the next big event, without spending a dime.
It’s easy to use your hero search maps right away, especially if you’re looking to upgrade key purple heroes. But here’s the smarter play: save them for skin and hero events.
During special events, hero searches are tied to milestone rewards, giving you bonus items, points toward limited skins, and sometimes even biocaps back. Timing is everything.
This is one of the best ways to grow faster without spending extra. You’re just using the same items at the right time.
Every SoF event includes tasks for training or upgrading troops. And while training high-tier troops outside events is fine, upgrading troops during SoF is far more efficient.
Here’s a pro tip: Save the tier 9 troops you earn through daily intel missions, then upgrade them during SoF for massive points. This approach gives you an edge over players who rush their troop upgrades too early.
The Recycling Center is handy, but it’s easy to go overboard. Only recycle items you’re absolutely sure you won’t need soon. Plasma cores? Speed-ups? Think twice.
The main reward is skin tickets, which are cool but cosmetic. Don’t trade in valuable resources for temporary style. Hold onto older materials like hero gear parts too, they might become useful again with future updates.
Got a stash of temporary HQ skins or frames from SoS gift codes or events? Don’t waste them on quiet days.
Activate multiple skins at the same time when you really need the stat boost, like during State Warfare, Reservoir Raid, or a tough Alliance Showdown. The small boost might be the difference between winning or losing a key fight.
You’ve got the strategy, now it’s all about how efficiently you grow.
Whether you’re upgrading your HQ to Plasma levels, unlocking next-gen heroes, or stacking speed-ups for State vs State, State of Survival demands more the further you go.
