The Undead Siege event in Last Asylum: Plague: Plague presents a unique challenge that tests your base defensive capabilities and your ability to manage high-density enemy waves. Unlike standard skirmishes, this event requires a shift in focus from offensive hero compositions to defensive endurance and tactical perimeter management.
Understanding Undead Siege Mechanics
In the Undead Siege, your primary objective is to hold your base against sustained waves of infected enemies. Success depends on your ability to prevent enemies from breaching your walls while minimizing damage to your defensive structures.
Key Tactical Considerations
- Perimeter Integrity: Enemies will target your weakest wall sections first. Ensure your defensive structures are evenly upgraded rather than focusing on a single high-level wall.
- Crowd Control (CC) Synergy: Because the Undead Siege features large groups of enemies, heroes with Area of Effect (AoE) damage and slowing abilities are significantly more valuable than single-target DPS units.
- Resource Expenditure: Do not waste premium resources on emergency repairs mid-wave. Prioritize building durability through pre-event upgrades.
Defensive Squad Optimization
To excel in the Undead Siege, your hero deployment should favor utility over raw power. Use the following table to categorize your defensive choices:
| Hero Role | Priority | Purpose in Siege |
|---|---|---|
| AoE Specialist | High | Clearing clusters of infected before they reach the gate. |
| Crowd Control | High | Slowing movement speed to allow towers more time to fire. |
| Tank/Defender | Medium | Absorbing aggro if the front line is breached. |
| Single-Target DPS | Low | Inefficient against large swarms; save for elite boss targets. |
Strategic Tips for Wave Management
1. Position for Maximum Coverage
Do not crowd your heroes in one spot. Place your units to cover the "choke points" where the undead naturally congregate. If your wall has a specific segment that takes the brunt of the damage, position your AoE-focused heroes directly behind that section to mitigate the pressure.
2. Monitor Structural Health
The event rewards are often tied to how much of your base remains intact. If you notice a specific segment of your wall dropping in health rapidly, use your tactical abilities to push the wave back immediately rather than waiting for the health bar to reach critical levels.
3. Timing Hero Abilities
Avoid "panic-firing" your hero ultimates. Wait until the undead swarm is tightly packed together to ensure your abilities hit the maximum number of targets. Utilizing abilities on scattered enemies is a common mistake that leads to losing the wave once the density increases.
4. Prioritizing Targets
If the event spawns elite infected or "tank" variants, coordinate your squad to focus fire on them while allowing your defensive towers to handle the lower-tier mobs. Ignoring high-priority threats will quickly lead to wall breaches, regardless of how well you handle the trash mobs.
Post-Event Evaluation
After completing the Undead Siege, analyze which wall segments took the most damage. This serves as your blueprint for future upgrades. If a specific area failed, evaluate whether it was due to a lack of turret coverage or a deficiency in your hero’s AoE capabilities. Consistent failure in the same sector usually indicates a need for higher-tier defensive structure investment.

Good guide for Last Asylum: Plague players. The base building part was useful.
This guide answered the exact question I had.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
Can you add more details about base building in a future update?
