Tutorial

At the beginning of the game you will be stepped through a tutorial. Unfortunately, for experience players creating new characters there is no way to skip the tutorial.
(Update Jan 2024 – they also added soem animated Match 3 sequences that add nothing.)

Learning the Basics of Match Gameplay

First you meet Nova, and learn the basics of Gameplay. Just click through and complete the match 3 basics. You can’t go wrong.

Basic Match 3

Then they walk you through to learn Match 4 combinations for Grenades, then Match 5 for Stun Grenades.

Basic Match 4

After more clicking through the story (on rails) Nova gets injured. Save her to move on to your first boss and lear nto use Hero abilities. Then you meet Scarlett who comes and destroys the boss to get you in to the main game

Scarlett packs a punch

After Scarlett destroys the 2 bosses, you progress to the sanctuary tutorial

Sanctuary Basics

The tutorial then leads you through all ofthe basics of sanctury and campaign battles.

At the start of level 5 – you should be in an alliance. Start building out you boot camps, farms, lumber, and infirmary; and level them up. In a large alliance this will complete really quickly, and speed up your resources.

But the speed of the tutorial starts to slow down as you have much more to do,inlcuding levelling troops up, and clearing zombies and campaigns.

If you lose any battles in the campaign, it will slow down your ability to get Campaign 5 cleared. If this happens, hunt zombies and wait for your energy to replenish.

Once they are all completed you have enough Antivirusine to go back to Nova.
