Golden Zombies

How the invasion works

Zombie Invasion introduces small Invading Zombies and larger Zombie Bosses. The small targets arrive in waves and provide resources plus Courage Medals. Defeating them can discover a boss. Higher-level bosses are harder but provide better rewards.

Exact event rules

• Invading Zombies are level 10 and currently award 10 Courage Medals per kill.
• A discovered boss is protected for 10 minutes so only the discoverer’s alliance can rally it.
• Boss damage accumulates for the event leaderboard; ranking rewards arrive by mail.
• The discoverer receives an additional mailed reward when the boss is killed, even if another commander finishes it.
• Summoned bosses range from 15 levels below to 5 levels above the commander’s Summoning Level.

Raise the Summoning Level

The initial Summoning Level is 5 and persists between events. Killing a summoned boss above the current level can update it to that boss level. Leading a kill against a boss at or above the current level can also raise it by five, up to three times during an event. For example, Summoning Level 25 produces bosses from level 10 to 30; raising it to 30 shifts the range to level 15–35.

After Season 2: Glacieradon

Boss kills add alliance Glacieradon points. R4/R5 can trigger one 60-minute challenge per event. Each commander receives up to 30 attacks. The final hit receives a 10× attack reward, but alliance completion matters more than holding attacks for that bonus. Glacieradon leaves two hours before the event ends, so leadership should not schedule the attempt at the last moment.

Run the wave efficiently

• Check the event countdown and keep a march available before a wave begins.
• Choose small targets your squad can defeat quickly; travel time matters.
• Share discovered bosses immediately so alliance rallies fill.
• Join suitable boss rallies instead of leaving marches idle.
• Do not start a boss your alliance cannot finish before the rally or event window expires.

Discovery rewards matter

The commander who discovers a Zombie Boss can receive an additional mailed reward when that boss is defeated, even if another player delivers the kill. That makes fast alliance communication more valuable than trying to hold the target privately.

Use Courage Medals with a plan

Review the entire Trade Store before buying. Prioritise scarce progression materials that support the active account goal, then use remaining medals on broadly useful items. Confirm the event’s expiry rules in the live panel; do not assume every currency carries over.

Wave checklist

• Enough stamina and at least one free march.
• Alliance chat or rally screen open.
• Small targets selected for speed, not ego.
• Discovered bosses shared immediately.
• Trade Store checked before event end.
