State of Survival: Survival of the Fittest Scoring Guide

To maximize event points and claim high-tier milestone crates in State of Survival's competitive events, stop spending upgrade materials as soon as you acquire them. Competitive phases reward four specific resource sinks: raising your Chief Gear maximum rating, consuming Hero Gear Parts and Hero Gear Designs, spending Plasma Cores on advanced facilities, and burning speedups on construction, research, and troop training. Hoarding these materials between cycles ensures you hit point thresholds without wasting progression value during off-event days.

Event Scoring Rules by Resource Category

Different scoring stages reward either raw consumption or milestone threshold increases. Matching the correct inventory item to its scoring mechanism determines your overall point yield.

Raising Chief Gear Rating

Chief Gear stages award points only when an item’s maximum rating increases, not for the raw crafting materials spent. If an upgrade does not push a piece of equipment past its next rating milestone, you receive zero event points.

• Avoid partial upgrades: Do not distribute crafting materials across all six equipment slots simultaneously.
• Target single-piece completions: Funnel carbon material, tactical designs, and energy components into a single gear slot until it advances to the next tier.
• Hold close calls: If your stored materials fall short of completing a gear tier before the stage window closes, save the entire stockpile for the next event cycle.

Spending Hero Gear Parts and Designs

Unlike Chief Gear scoring, the hero equipment stage tracks raw material consumption. Every Hero Gear Part and Hero Gear Design consumed converts directly into event points on use.

• Manage the design bottleneck: Hero Gear Parts accumulate steadily from daily tasks and infected fiends, but Hero Gear Designs are scarce. Restrict design spending entirely to active scoring stages.
• Balance march gear: Because every consumed piece counts immediately, upgrade high-impact hero gear slots evenly across your active rally and defense marches to balance combat statistics while collecting points.

Spending Plasma Cores on Enhancement Lab Level 37

Committing Plasma Cores to high-level facilities yields substantial point bursts. Facilities like the Enhancement Lab at level 37 require heavy Plasma investments, making them ideal targets for dedicated core-consumption windows.

• Avoid minor facilities: Low-spending and free-to-play players accumulate Plasma Cores slowly. Do not scatter cores across low-impact defensive structures.
• Double-dip on progression: Initiate high-level upgrades, such as Enhancement Lab level 37, during the Plasma Core consumption phase. If the stage overlaps with or is followed by a construction speedup window, apply your speedups to complete the facility, securing points across both event categories.

Allocating Speedups Across Construction, Research, and Training

The development phase awards points for every minute reduced across building, technology, and troop queues.

1. Construction timers: Apply speedups directly to high-tier Plasma upgrades or Headquarters milestones to complete multi-week construction projects during active scoring.
2. Technology research: Target long-duration military or development nodes. Always wait for alliance members to fill your help queue before burning research speedups.
3. Troop training: Use training speedups to produce higher-tier units in bulk during training stages, strengthening march capacities without overflowing hospital space.
4. Activate reductions first: Request state economic titles, collect alliance territory buffs, and reset talent trees to development boosts before expending large speedup reserves to maximize the value of every hour spent.
