Idle and Instant Rewards
Undead World: Hero Survival has an idling system where you passively generate resources and can collect them once you reach the maximum amount.
The idling system generates Gold, EXP Drinks, Energy Drinks, Player EXP, Sync Points, and tons of equipment with varying qualities (i.e., basic, common). You can view these rewards by clicking on the ‘Idle Rewards’ button from the Campaign menu. The game continuously generates these resources for 12 hours straight. Once it reaches 12 hours, you won’t get more resources as you have reached the maximum amount. Click on the ‘Collect’ button to harvest resources and reset the timer. You can collect resources even if 12 hours haven’t passed yet but if you want more of a “one-time-big-time” feeling, then it’s best to wait for the full 12 hours. Additionally, you can increase the default 12-hour collecting time by upgrading to a higher VIP level.
If you can’t wait longer to collect your idle rewards, you can immediately collect two hours’ worth of idle rewards via instant rewards. To access this, click on the ‘Instant Rewards’ button from the same Campaign menu. You must pay with 25 Diamonds (premium) currency to acquire instant rewards. Fortunately, the first time is free, but you must pay for the second time. Additionally, you can only collect instant rewards twice per 24 hours.
Zombie Express
The Zombie Express is like the ‘survival’ mode of the game where you can deploy your heroes to kill as many zombies as possible and reap the rewards.
To ride the Zombie Express, click on the ‘Adventure’ tab in the main menu, and then click on ‘Zombie Express’. Once you’re in the Zombie Express, click on ‘Battle’ to start selecting heroes and start killing zombies. Zombies become stronger as the train ride progresses however you earn more points for killing these stronger zombies. Additionally, bonus points are given when critical attacks are done like headshots and overkills. The ride ends when the time runs out or if your entire team gets wiped out. Your highest score is always saved per ride.
Your highest score is used to determine your tier. Your tier then determines the daily rewards that you get which you can claim at the end of the season. The higher your tier is, the better your rewards are. You can view the number of points you need to climb up to the next tier as well as the amount of time left in the season in the Zombie Express menu.
Harbor
If you have plenty of spare heroes that you’re likely not going to use or want to refund resources you have spent on a hero, then the Harbor is the place for you.
To access the Harbor, click on the ‘Hideout’ tab in the main menu, and then click on ‘Harbor’. The Harbor has three options: Reset, Dismiss, and Revert. Let’s talk about the Reset option first. Resetting a hero sets their level back to Level 1 and refunds all the resources that you’ve used to upgrade them. Select any hero that you want to reset and then click on ‘Reset’ to spend Diamonds to reset them.
Dismissing a hero allows you to remove common heroes from your roster in exchange for Dismiss Coins. These Dismiss Coins can then be used to purchase recruiting pamphlets and even heroes in the Dismiss section of the Caravan (in-game store).
Reverting a hero allows you to demote their rank. This can only be done on heroes who have a rank of Unique or higher. Additionally, you need two or more of those heroes with those ranks. Given you have the requirements, you can spend Diamonds to revert one of them to a lower rank in exchange for rare recruit tickets for a hero belonging to their faction.
