Introducing The Basics of Survivor.io 

Stages

Survivor.io has a total of 50 stages currently. Each stage takes about 15-20 minutes; this part is confusing for first-time players. Each stage has a total of 3 Bosses that show up at a 5-minute interval. As you collect XP and level up during the stage, you can upgrade weapons and supplies to have a fighting chance against the Boss monsters. 

Each monster has unique abilities and attack patterns that you need to keep in mind as you are trying to defeat them.

Weapons And Supplies

At the start of every stage, you have 10 empty slots; 5 for weapons and 5 for supplies. You can select from various weapons such as rockets, drills, Molotovs, force fields, Lighting rods, bricks, and even a soccer ball. Each of them can be upgraded a total of 5 times, and an option to upgrade pops up every time you level up in a stage. 

Supplies are passive abilities such as increased speed, health regeneration, increased ATK, damage absorption, and a variety of other abilities that will indirectly help you defeat the Boss Monsters and clear stages.

Upgrading Character

You can upgrade your character’s base stats using the money you earn by clearing the stages. Base weapons such as Kunais, revolvers, and even Gatling guns can be equipped to start the stage, as well as equipment like armor, necklace, shoes, and even headbands. All of these can be equipped before starting the stage, giving you an added advantage.

Strategy

Despite the simplicity of the game, you need to be aware of what weapons and supplies you are currently processing. Weapons can have both long-range effects and close combat effects. A balance of both and the supplies that complement the choice of weapons is key to victory. Each stage comes with its complexities and varieties of weapons, so be careful as you try to defeat thousands of monsters in one sitting.

Survivor.io Guide – Tips and Tricks 

Now that you have a clear idea of the basics of Survivor.io. Here are some tricks and tips to help you master the game:

• The defense is the best offense. To successfully fend off hordes of enemies that push you, you need to have a combination of close combat weapons like force fields which prevent monsters from getting too close to you, and long-range weapons like rockets and drills to take down monsters.
• Supplies are the key to victory. Some supplies increase speed and regenerate health over time; both help prolong your survival which is the key to clearing stages.
• Coins are straightforward to earn in this game, so feel free to spend as much as possible to upgrade your weapons and character.
• Make sure to collect the XP that defeated monsters drop, as, without it, you can’t level up while clearing a stage. This prevents you from upgrading weapons and supplies to prepare for the next wave.

Final Thoughts 

Survivor.io has everything, from an entertaining combat system to a campaign mode that keeps you engaged for hours. It’s easy to lose track of time while playing Survivor.io; that just shows how much fun it is. It takes a few runs to figure the game out, but it is one that you have to try.
