Season 3

Most of you have already read the president’s mail regarding S3. Here it is summarized into one mail, along with some things they didn’t mention. Please read everything !

Priority Buildings:

Virus Labs & Greenhouses

• Upgrade these first — they are essential for S3 growth
• Virus Labs increase your resistance. Greenhouses generate S3 resources.
• Everyone starts with 2 Greenhouses, but you can have up to 5
• The 3rd Greenhouse unlocks for the entire alliance as soon as someone kills a Level 15 Snow Leopard.
• The 4th Greenhouse unlocks from a higher-level Snow Leopard (exact level unconfirmed)
• The 5th Greenhouse unlocks via a purchase pack

Important

• Strictly focus on Greenhouses & Virus Labs.
• Command Center & Outposts aren’t important early on
• Upgrade Rally Centers for stronger rallies

Farming Resources:

• Frostbanes: Best source of Frostcores (limited to 15/day)
• Snow Leopards: Solo attacks only, so you’ll need a strong formation to push higher levels
• Important: Use your 15 daily attempts on Frostbanes before attacking Snow Leopards. The goal is to farm as many Frostcores as possible
• Ice Pits: (Wasteful, Don’t bother)

Farming Animals:

This event happens 3 times a week, you’re allowed 10 kills each time, so choose wisely!

• Deer: 300 badges (best option)
• Mammoth: 20 weapon frags (decent)
• Pigs: 200 diamonds (not worth)
• Fox: Orange skill books (not worth)

Important: Choose the right animals based on what you need. Badges are the hardest resource for me to obtain, so I’ll mainly be targeting Deer for Cold Hoofs (Up to 9000 badges p/w)

Yetis:

• Very strong & can perish troops.
• Players with higher-level Rally Centers should be the ones starting rallies.
• Aim for levels 120–140. Higher levels are too difficult — level 240 requires 3–4B power to kill.
• If a Yeti is targeting your HQ & you want to get rid of it, start a rally & then cancel it. This will force it to change targets.

Special thanks to xShady for doing the leg work on this one!

Basics, Resources and Virus level

Many people are asking what Season 3 is about, so here is a simple guide. Please add this email to your Favorites, it will help you anytime you need to check something.

Season 3 is much better than Season 2:

• No desert tiles
• Snow & ice theme
• More activities and fun
• No seasonal resource tiles anymore

Instead of zombies and boomers:

• Snow Leopards replace zombies
• Frostbanes replace boomers

There are 2 seasonal resources:

• Frost Core – from Snow Leopards & Frostbanes
• Ice Bloom – from Greenhouses (seasonal building)

Virus Level:

• Still upgraded through the Bio Lab
• Uses Frost Core + Ice Bloom
• Same concept as before, only seasonal resources changed

Seasonal Buildings:

• Attack/Defense seasonal buildings exist
• They only affect open map battles
• They do NOT affect arena or total formation power like S2
• Power gain is lower than previous seasons

Glory War:

• Same as Season 2
• Same map, same cities, same rewards
• Fury Lord only got a new skin

Season 3 Heroes:

• Released weekly (Hero first, then weapon)
• One hero per faction
• Very strong skills, especially at 5

Yeti, Snowman and Frozen Event’s

Hunter Yeti

• Roams the map and must be rallied
• Levels: ~110 to 240
• Monday reward cap: 5
• Other days: 2
• Very strong (240 needs ~3-4B power)
• Safer to rally 120-140 for fewer losses
• If a Yeti targets your HQ:
  • Start rally → cancel → it changes target
  • No troop loss, only wall burns

Frozen Rescue Event (2-3 times weekly):

• Scout ice blocks to release animals
  Rewards:
• Pigs → 200 Diamonds
• Cold Hoofs → 300 Badges (Best for F2P)
• Mammoth → Orange Weapon Fragments
• Fox → Orange Skill Books

Tip:

• Cold Hoof is limited to 10 per day = 3000 badges
• Mammoth = 20 weapon frags
• Great bonus event for F2P players

Snowman Decoration:

• Gives Attack & Defense
• Upgrade using **Snowballs**
• You get Snowballs from:
  • Yeti attacks
  • Frostbanes
  • Snow Leopard kills
  • Clearing snow from alliance HQs
  • Radar mini-game (Temple Run style)

Important:

• Snowman was reset once during early S3
• F2P can still get **Level 5 Snowman Decoration** if:
  • You reach level 20 early OR
  • Reach level 17 after reset
  • Collect all fish from Arctic Fishing

Arctic Fishing Hole:

• Weekly mini-game
• Earn hooks by doing daily tasks
• Different holes = different fish
• Not all level 3 holes give same fish
• Must activate fish for Diamonds
• Extra fish can be gifted to other players

Level Swap and Final Tips

Level Swap System:

• Allows swapping hero levels and skills
• Example:
• Old hero = Level 150
• New hero = Level 1
• After swap → new hero becomes 150
• Rarity affects how much transfers
• Very useful when a new strong hero is released

Frozen Wildlife Priority:

• For F2P:
  1. Cold Hoof → Badges (Best choice)
  2. Mammoth → Orange Weapon Fragments
  3. Pigs → Diamonds
  4. Fox → Least value

Snowman Tip:

• Join as many Yeti & Frostbane fights as possible
• Snowballs = faster Snowman upgrades
• Snowman gives huge long-term value

Overall Opinion:

Season 3 is **much better than Season 2**:

• No boring tiles
• More events
• More variety
• Better visuals
• More ways for F2P to progress
