Preparation

You should already know by now that all Seasons share a few facts:

1. There are going to be Seasonal Buildings that need to be leveled up, therefore skills and technologies that lower construction costs and increase construction speed are really important
2. Hero return tickets usually provide seasonal resources, so you should spare them at the end of the previous season, they will be stored in the inventory in off-season periods
3. An SSR Hero will be promoted, making purple shards important items to purchase waiting for the new season
4. A base skin usually provides some bonus buffs during the Season
5. A lot of stamina is needed to kill world zombies and to participate to new seasonal game-plays

Season Store

Here a few important points you should take into consideration before using your Season medals:

• The Season Store NEVER closes, it will always be available, even during off-season, so don’t rush to use season medals and make smart decisions
• The Season Store resets the availability of the items at each Season start. So for example if you need Mythic Gear Blueprints, make sure you purchase all those available before the new Season starts

At the end of Season 3 a new base skin will be shown in the Season Store, but it will not be available until Season 4 starts. Below the images available already at week 8 of Season 3. Check out here the updated Season Store of Season 4

Alliance technologies to prioritize

Ask your R4/5 to give priority to alliance tech “Veteran Craftsman” to have a lower building cost for seasonal buildings also regarding seasonal resources. The buff applies also to Oil and season resources.

It’s also important to ensure that you have the full building speed increase through the Alliance Tech “Quick Construction”, but I would expect all alliances to already have it maxed out at Season 4.

Skills to acquire

At the beginning of a Season, given that usually there are no wars in that stage, it is highly suggested to use Engineer instead of War Leader. This also allows you to take advantage of some specific skills to lower costs and increase building and research speed.

These are the MUST have in my opinion to push your growth at the season beginning.

You should have these skills maxed out since the very beginning of the season, and you should also prepare to have them available right away when the season starts, without having to wait for their cooldowns

The ones below are related to research, they are not fundamental in new seasons usually, but its best to have them too anyway.

Fast Growth

First days strategy

The first days of Season 4 is a struggle because of stone shortage and low virus resistance, all these activities will help you to grow faster.

Generic suggestions:

• move your alliance to a better spot if you are in a bad position in map to go towards level 6 cities or if you have unfriendly alliance neighbors
• use war fever for all the activities that use attack to increment by 1% the power (not possible at the very beginning with everyone having a shield)
• check how to reduce costs for Quartz Workshop and Optoelectronic Lab in the next paragraph
• rallies: the virus resistance of the leader of the rally is applied to all participants, use this for digging strongholds captures.
• low virus resistance ally can request help to high virus resistance allies to kill higher level of doom elites for first kill rewards: low virus resistance ally starts rally with 1 low power hero squad and high virus resistance allies join to kill doom elite.
• IMPORTANT: In season 4 there are no Alliance Resource Tiles of Stone and Quartz, so no more tricks centralizing all the resource in a single resistance leader unfortunately. But as an alternative you can send electricians to your alliance members.

Purchases:

• buy right away season battle pass and weekly pass (this one will be available only once Quartz Workshop are unlocked)
• purchase stone packs, they are available since the very beginning of the season but only the first week and even if it says the availability is 1, actually you can purchase multiple packs, but each pack progressively doubles in cost and in stone amount (~ 5/10/20/50 $)
• if possible acquire decoration “Year of the Dragon” as it gives boost as described in Season 4 -> Season Boost

Stone and Quartz:

• arrive to Season 4 start with the radar with stacked missions, so to be sure to get a Izakaya Bar radar mission (stone reward)
• don’t do a Doom Walker after reset the day your server receives Season 4. Wait for Season 4 to start and then kill the highest level of Doom Walker you are able to to receive a lot of stone with first kill. Do that every day, level 190 can reward you with 207k stone as first blood, no need to kill higher levels as they don’t give more stone than level 190.
• start killing immediately small zombies up to level 3 that don’t require curse resistance, you will obtain first kill rewards. Take into consideration that small zombies have a type (tank/missile/aircraft) and so dealt damage debuffs apply
• upgrade all Quartz Workshops only up to level 15 until you unlocked all of them (4 + 1 additional with weekly pass), then first all to level 16, then all to level 17, etc. Each time you reach level 15 of a quartz workshop the next one is unlocked.
• capture digging strongholds as soon as possible, as they provide hourly stone to all members of alliance. Just remember to always collect the stone, to do so go to Alliance button -> Alliance Cities -> Tab Digging Strongholds and click on Claim all hourly.

Collect extra Stone and Quartz:

• once you captured a digging stronghold: Alliance button -> Alliance Cities -> Tab Digging Strongholds
• after 7 days an additional building is added to your Alliance Center and it will produce Stone
