Season 5 of Dark War Survival brings several new themed events, and one of the most refreshing additions is the Yum Corner mini-game event. Unlike the usual combat or resistance challenges, this one tests your puzzle-solving and strategic planning — and rewards you with generous resources for clearing its daily restaurant “stages.”
This Dark War Survival Yum Corner Event Guide covers everything you need to know about how Yum Corner works, how to earn Perfect Clears, and the best way to progress efficiently every day.
Dark War Survival Yum Corner Event Guide (Season 5)
1. Event Overview
| Detail | Information |
|---|---|
| Event Name | Yum Corner |
| Season | Season 5: Sealed Island / Miasma Virus Update |
| Event Type | Puzzle-based Daily Mini-Game |
| Duration | Time-limited event (active several days) |
| Unlocks | New stages each day |
| Main Rewards | Resource chests, items, and bonus Perfect Clear rewards |
Lore Description
“The wooden door creaks open… smoke rises from the kitchen — Mapleless Yum Corner is officially open! Business is booming, and the owner needs your help. Lend a hand and claim your rewards!”
2. Event Rules & Gameplay
Yum Corner is essentially a match-3 tile puzzle, with a “restaurant kitchen” theme. Each stage has a grid filled with tiles representing food, utensils, or dishes.
Your goal is to clear all tiles by matching three identical cards within a limited number of slots.
Basic Rules
- Tap tiles to move them into the “clearing area” (a small slot bar at the bottom).
- Match three identical tiles to eliminate them from the clearing area.
- Clear all tiles in a stage to finish it.
- If the clearing area fills up completely without a valid match — you fail the stage.
3. Tools & Perfect Clears
You’ll have access to tools (power-ups) provided by the restaurant owner. These help you clear difficult stages but affect your final rewards.
| Tool Type | Effect | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Undo / Rewind | Reverts your last move | Consumes tool use |
| Shuffle | Rearranges all tiles randomly | Helpful when stuck |
| Remove Tile | Instantly clears a selected tile | Limited availability |
Perfect Clear System
- Perfect Clear: Complete the stage without using any tools.
- Grants bonus rewards (extra items or higher-tier chests).
- If tools are used, you still clear the level but forfeit the bonus.
Tip: Always attempt the first clear without tools — if you fail, you can replay using them.
4. Stage Progression
- A small batch of new stages unlocks daily.
- You can replay older stages for missed Perfect Clears.
- Once all daily stages are cleared, a message appears:
“Congratulations! You have cleared all stages for today. New stages will unlock in 14 hours (after reset).”
Difficulty
- Early levels (1–2) are simple tutorials.
- Later stages introduce branching paths, layered tiles, and deeper stacks that require careful sequencing.
- Developers intentionally made higher levels tricky — each stage has a logical order that can trap you if rushed.
Observation: Later levels introduce “buried” tiles hidden beneath others, requiring players to clear specific top tiles first to reveal viable matches.
5. Rewards System
Each stage offers visible rewards before you begin — usually shown in the “Stage Preview.”
| Reward Type | Description |
|---|---|
| Basic Rewards | Granted for clearing the stage (resources, minor items) |
| Perfect Clear Bonus | Extra chest or rare materials for tool-free clear |
| Replay Rewards | Optional chance for secondary drops if replayed using tools |
Example Rewards:
- Boost Ore
- Resource packs
- Small Stones / Quartz (seasonal currency)
- Random item chests
Rewards scale slightly with stage number, but remain relatively balanced to encourage Perfect Clears.
6. Tips for Clearing Stages Efficiently
- Plan every move. Avoid tapping tiles randomly — always match groups that open space for future tiles.
- Watch the slot bar. Never let it fill completely before a match; leave at least 1–2 spaces.
- Start with unique tiles. Remove rare or isolated symbols early to prevent blockage later.
- Use tools strategically. If one mistake blocks your entire board, using Undo once is better than failing.
- Replay for practice. Stages can be replayed even after completion — ideal for achieving a Perfect Clear later.
7. Relation to Other Season 5 Events
The Yum Corner runs parallel to other Season 5 systems:
- Blood Moon Shroud (infection & Lan’s Shop)
- Miasma Virus Resistance
- Sealed Island Hero Updates (Angela release)
While unrelated to combat or resource collection, Yum Corner still contributes seasonal points and bonus materials toward building progression — making it a worthwhile daily event.
8. Hero Mention – Angela (New Hero)
During the same update, Angela was added as a new fighter hero:
| Skill | Effect |
|---|---|
| Skill 3 | Increases troop normal attack, counter-attack, and skill damage. |
| Skill 4 | Boosts fighter HP by 50% and troop capacity. |
She’s a strong support pick for troop durability — synergizing well with survival-focused lineups in Season 5.
The Yum Corner event adds a relaxing, puzzle-based twist to Dark War Survival’s otherwise intense season. It’s a clever change of pace that rewards observation and planning over combat power.
Clearing daily stages efficiently not only gives consistent rewards but also builds up your seasonal progress while waiting for Blood Moon or Sealed Island events.
