WHERE & HOW TO FARM Where to farm The reward wave and chest for the map and difficulty associated with the desired Survival pet.
Survival pets are tied to reward waves, and the threshold varies with map and difficulty. Identify the pet you want, choose its map, and clear Survival through the relevant wave to claim the associated reward. A run does not guarantee a particular pet result, so check the reward and repeat if needed.
Before you go Clear the map campaign on the chosen difficulty to unlock Survival there. Identify the desired pet’s map, reward wave, and difficulty threshold in the game’s reward information. Use a defense layout and hero that can survive through that wave. Select the map that awards the pet you want, not simply the map you last played. Choose the difficulty that matches the pet’s reward threshold. Start Survival and build defenses around the map’s lanes. Advance through the waves, repairing and upgrading when defenses take damage. Reach the target reward wave and inspect the reward chest for the pet. Collect the pet and check its stats before equipping or storing it. If the result is not the one you need, prepare another run on the same map and threshold. Farming tips Map, wave, and difficulty all matter; confirm each before starting a long run. Use the wave-start selector only when the game offers an eligible previously attempted start, and leave enough waves to reach the reward. Repeat, collect and use Repeatable. Survival rewards can be revisited, but the pet result is not guaranteed on every run.
Common mistakes Running the wrong map because its difficulty or wave looks similar; match the reward to the map first. Stopping before the pet’s reward wave; continue through the threshold and check the chest. Assuming a prior clear permanently grants the pet; claim and inspect the run’s actual reward. When to stop or switch Stop after claiming a pet that meets your needs, or switch to a more manageable difficulty if you cannot consistently reach its reward wave.
