What are scoring events in State of Survival?

Events that award points for activities you'd do anyway, like construction, research, and troop upgrades, paying milestone rewards on top.

Should I save resources for events?

Yes. Hoarding between events and spending inside them is the highest-value free habit in the game.

What's the biggest event?

SvS, with five preparation phases across the week and a warfare window on Saturday from 08:45 to 19:00 UTC.

What is the State of Survival event calendar?

Monthly per state: Survival of the Fittest or Bloodsport in weeks one and two, Alliance Throwdown the week before SvS, then SvS week. Reservoir Raid runs weekly on Sundays and Annihilation Awaits every other week alongside all of it.

Should I spend on Alliance Throwdown or save for SvS?

Save for SvS. The two events want the same items a week apart, and SvS preparation scores for your state as well as your personal ranking.

Do I need to fight to score in events?

No. Most personal reward in SvS comes from the preparation phases, which score building, research, and development rather than combat.

Does event currency carry over?

Usually not. Spend it in the exchange shop before the window closes.

How often do events run?

Something is nearly always running. The large ones cycle on regular schedules; collabs land roughly every couple of months.

What if I can't play during an event?

Preparation-phase scoring is asynchronous, so you can contribute by timing your upgrades even without being online for the live windows.
