State Migration allows players to move to a different server (State), usually after a season ends. This is your opportunity to find better allies, join more competitive communities, or help your current State recruit strong survivors.
Dark War Survival State Migration Guide
You can expect State Migration to begin around 2 weeks after the season tally ends. If your server is eligible, a “Migrate” button will appear in your Season tab.
The exact date varies per State, so always watch for the in-game notifications and announcements.
Overview of the Event
State Migration consists of three structured phases:
- Preparation Phase (1 Day)
- Invitation Phase (2 Days)
- Free Migration Phase (2 Days)
Your Migration Score will determine your Migration Identity Tier, which affects eligibility, priority, and how many Migration Passes you need.
Migration Score & Tiers
Your Migration Score is calculated based on your overall power:
- Building CP
- Tech CP
- Hero CP
- Modified Vehicle CP
This score determines your Migration Identity Tier, such as:
- Regular
- Medium
- Advanced
- Elite
- Special
Your tier affects:
How many Migration Passes you need
Whether you can migrate freely or require an invitation
Whether you’re eligible during the Free Migration phase
Important Tips:
Your score is locked at the start of Phase I.
Resetting heroes or removing gear will not lower your score.
Different States may have different thresholds for each tier based on their development stage.
4. Migration Passes
What are they?
Migration Passes are like tickets—you need them to migrate.
How to Get Them
- Buy 1 weekly from the Alliance Shop for 75,000 personal points.
- Additional passes may need to be purchased with items or currency depending on your tier.
How Many You Need
- Higher-tier players need more passes.
- Regular Identity players may migrate freely (in Phase III) without passes, if slots are available.
5. Migration Conditions (Eligibility)
You must meet all of the following to migrate:
| Condition | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Watchtower Level | Must be level 20+ |
| Alliance Status | Leave your alliance before migrating |
| Combat Status | No outgoing troops, Watchtower must not be under attack |
| State Role | Cannot be the President of your State |
| Tier Eligibility | Must be a Regular identity, or receive an invitation |
Also:
- You can only migrate once per event.
- You lose your current alliance after migrating and must rejoin or find a new one.
6. Phase I – Preparation Phase (1 Day)
This phase locks your Migration Score and Tier Identity. It’s all about planning.
What You Should Do:
- Scout other States: Reach out to leaders or presidents in States you’re interested in.
- Ask about alliances, activity, ranking, and player base.
- If you’re a President, begin recruiting external players now through direct messages.
Important:
- Once your score is locked, it cannot be changed.
- Eligible destination States will be announced via in-game mail before this phase starts.
7. Phase II – Invitation Phase (2 Days)
This is when Presidents send out official migration invitations.
For Presidents:
- Use this time to invite survivors from other States.
- Each invitation uses one immigration slot based on your State’s capacity.
- Think strategically—invite players who bring power or balance.
For Players:
- You may receive one or more invitations.
- You can choose to accept or decline an invite within 24 hours.
- If you’re Elite, Advanced, or Medium, you can also send a Special Immigration Application to a President.
- If your invitation or application is rejected, you must wait 20 minutes before sending another.
8. Phase III – Free Migration Phase (2 Days)
This is the final stage—and your last chance to move.
For Regular Tier Players:
- You can now migrate freely to any State that has open slots.
- No invitation required.
For Elite, Advanced, and Medium Players:
- You cannot migrate freely during this phase.
- You can only migrate if:
- You already received a valid invitation in Phase II.
- Your special application was accepted earlier.
Final Tips:
- Regular players should act quickly—slots are limited.
- Higher-tier players must ensure they have an approved path before this phase starts.
9. What Happens After You Migrate?
- You will arrive in the new State without an alliance.
- You can join or create an alliance upon arrival.
- You keep your:
- Base level
- Power
- Troops
- Inventory
But all territory and alliance roles from your previous State are lost.
State Migration in Dark War Survival is more than just a transfer—it’s a strategic decision. Whether you’re seeking stronger allies, a more active community, or just a fresh start, understanding the three phases and your role in them is key.
