As you level up your various business stations, you will notice that the overall income doubles at various milestones; it doubles when you hit levels 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, and 150. Always trying to shoot for that next milestone, especially before you go offline for a while.
One unique feature of this game is the ability to watch advertisement videos in order to level up your business stations if you don’t have enough cash to do so at the moment. Each advertisement video levels up your station five times, so if you are within five of the next milestone and you want the boost in cash immediately, then watching an advertisement video might be your best bet.
Battle mode is where this game differentiates itself. This mode allows you to dig for equipment and swap out less powerful equipment for more powerful equipment. When you feel ready for the fight, you will be able to find a zombie, which happens automatically after you tap the button, and if you win, you instantly earn a free chest. Of course, watch the advertisement video in order to get the rarer of the two chest options.
You might notice that you earn multiple types of vouchers in this game, with each different color ticket being good for something different. Green vouchers are good for getting tactical equipment in the battle mode once you are past level 10. Yellow vouchers enable you to get a pet in battle mode. Gold vouchers are advertisement skipping tickets that allow you to get bonuses without watching ads.
In the arena, there is generally a fairly easy way to tell if a battle is winnable or not. Check the level of your potential competitor before you fight them, and especially check what equipment they have, the level, the rarity, and the stars. This is the biggest tell regarding whether or not you will beat them.
Upgrading and leveling up your equipment is important, but even more important is having the rarest equipment that you possibly can. You can equip up to three items at once, and while it might be tempting to upgrade them, save your upgrades for equipment that is rarity or above, because that is the equipment that is the toughest to replace. Common and uncommon equipment can very easily be replaced.
Gems are the premium currency of the game, and while the main way to earn them is by spending money, there are plenty of free ones to be had as well. Aside from the obvious rewards strew about the game, tap on the zombies on the outskirts of whatever Map you’re currently on. Every once in a while, a random zombie will have 10 gems, which you can then earn by watching an advertisement video.
