1. Upgrading every hero
Fragments and badges are scarce. Spread across ten heroes, nobody gets strong. Pick a core of three and feed them first. Our hero guide explains how to choose.
2. Training all three troop types
Infantry, riders and hunters each need their own research and heroes. Pick one type for your first month, research its tree and train it at the highest tier you can. Add a second type only when the first is strong.
3. Leaving queues idle
An empty builder or research queue overnight costs you eight hours of progress. Start the longest timers before you sleep.
4. Burning speedups early
Speedups are worth the most in building and research events and on headquarters upgrades that gate everything. Using them on a level 5 farm wastes them.
5. Playing without an alliance
No help on timers, no alliance store, no protection. Join an active alliance on day one, and leave a dead one without hesitation.
6. Logging off with full storage
Resources outside protection get plundered. Spend them before you leave, keep rewards in your bag until needed and shield up during server fights.
7. Ignoring the Explorer Trail
The Explorer Trail is the steadiest source of hero fragments and experience. Clear stages every day, even the easy ones.
Fix list
- Pick three heroes and one troop type.
- Set long timers before every logout.
- Hold speedups for events and headquarters.
- Join an active alliance and help daily.
- Spend or bag resources before leaving.
- Clear the Explorer Trail every day.
FAQ
Why is my State of Survival progress so slow?
Usually idle queues, hero resources spread too thin and no alliance help. Fix those three and progress doubles.
Should I train infantry, riders or hunters?
Pick one for your first month and build heroes and research around it. Add others later.
