Survival and pets
Farm Survival armor drops
Survival extends waves on a completed map, giving repeated opportunities to find armor and convert unwanted pieces into mana.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Farm Survival armor drops
Survival on a map with a completed Campaign mission and a lane layout your defenses can handle.
Before you go
- Clear the selected map’s Campaign mission to unlock Survival.
- Build defenses able to cover its lanes through multiple waves.
- Make inventory room for armor and other useful drops.
Farming steps
- Select the completed map and enter Survival at a stable difficulty.
- Use the opening build phase to cover lanes and gather available resources.
- Start a wave and watch defense health and crystal safety throughout combat.
- Between waves, inspect dropped armor and collect pieces that could improve a hero.
- Repair or reinforce lanes that showed damage before advancing.
- Continue while the defenses remain healthy and the armor drops justify the effort.
- Return to the Tavern, compare collected pieces with current gear, and sell surplus armor for mana.
- Choose armor for the hero’s role and useful stats, not solely because its item level looks higher.
- Survival is extended play; leave before a failing wave puts an entire run at risk.
Repeat, collect and use
Repeat Survival runs while armor upgrades or sale proceeds are useful. Specific armor pieces and stat rolls are not guaranteed.
Common mistakes
- Equipping every higher-level piece automatically: compare relevant stats first.
- Ignoring repairs to inspect loot: secure the lane before advancing.
- Keeping all armor: retain upgrades or planned gear and sell the rest.
When to stop or switch
Stop when you have filled the needed equipment slots or the map no longer yields meaningful upgrades.
