What is it?
The gold-zombie farm: three days of zombie targets that pour drone parts, resources, and Valor (via the courage-token shop) into resource-limited accounts. Corroborated Strategy Widely considered the best resource event in the game for F2P.
When does it happen?
Every other week, alternating with General’s Trial — a 3-day window that burns roughly 2,000–3,000 stamina. Update-Sensitive
Who can start it?
Individual farming plus alliance boss rallies. Every player.
How does it work?
In Season 1 zones, zombies have squad types, and bringing the wrong one is a roughly 99% damage cut regardless of power: Confirmed Mechanic
- Air squad vs Tank Zombies
- Missile squad vs Air Zombies
- Tank squad vs Missile Zombies
Check Virus Resistance before attacking near Strongholds. Higher tiers (105/110/115/120) need a 35–40M march and 3–4 players. Courage-token shop priority: Drone Parts (50) first, then resources, then Valor.
What should I prepare?
Stamina banked for the 3-day burn, the correct squad type ready, and enough resistance for any stronghold-area wanderers.
How do we win?
Solo single targets with your weakest team (pure stamina-burning), reserve your strongest team to open boss rallies, and join other members’ rallies up to your troop-loss tolerance. Burn all stamina across the three days. Corroborated Strategy Time it with an Arms Race stamina window and you score both events at once.
Common mistakes
- Wrong squad type — a 99% damage loss no power can fix.
- Attacking under-resistant near strongholds and compounding troop losses.
- Leaving stamina unspent when the window closes.
- Spending courage tokens on resources before Drone Parts.
Leadership protocol
Coordinate boss rallies so lower-power members land hits, and call the timing so the alliance stacks Zombie Invasion onto an Arms Race stamina window. Leadership Protocol
Squad type beats power outright — wrong type is a 99% damage cut nothing fixes. Then the winning move is the boring one: weakest team farms singles, strongest team opens rallies, every point of stamina spent before the window shuts. Land it on an Arms Race stamina day and a single farm session scores twice.
