The Blood Moon Shroud event is one of the most chaotic — and rewarding — limited-time events introduced in Season 5 of Dark War Survival. It directly ties into the new Miasma Virus system, combining high-risk infection with valuable loot, new enemies, and exclusive materials you can trade at Lan’s Shop.
This guide breaks down how the event works, how to prepare for it, what to avoid during the chaos, and how to maximize your jade income safely.
Dark War Survival Blood Moon Shroud Event Guide (Season 5)
1. Event Overview
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Event Name | Blood Moon Shroud |
| Season | Season 5: Miasma Virus Update |
| Availability | 3 times per day |
| Duration | 30 minutes each |
| Times (Server) | 00:30 • 09:30 • 17:30 |
| Main Rewards | Jade, Stone, Ranking Rewards (Coin Chests, Healing Speedups) |
When the Blood Moon rises, the entire map descends into viral chaos — everyone receives instant Miasma stacks, Blood Moon bosses spawn, and shelters begin to explode.
2. Event Mechanics
Instant Infection
At the start of the event, every player receives 50 Miasma Stacks instantly.
This means you’ll already start halfway toward infection overload.
As your stacks rise, your shelter becomes unstable — if you hit 100 stacks, it explodes, spreading 25 stacks to nearby shelters.
Pro Tip:
Avoid clustering with alliance members. If multiple shelters explode in proximity, the chain infection can quickly wipe your entire hive.
Explosions & Spread Mechanics
- When your shelter explodes, you’ll lose your stacks but infect others nearby.
- Each exploding shelter spreads 25 stacks to every watchtower or shelter within range.
- During Blood Moon, with so many players infected simultaneously, this effect stacks rapidly — leading to mass teleportation and resource loss.
Avoid: Standing close to allied watchtowers or grouped bases during the event window.
3. Blood Moon Enemies
During the event, special enemies spawn across the map:
| Enemy | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Blood Moon Oni | Solo target | Stronger than standard Rotting Oni; moderate reward |
| Blood Moon Brute | Rally target | Requires alliance rally; drops large amounts of Stone and Jade |
Combat Tips
- Solo Oni are good for small stamina investments — quick Jade and low risk.
- Rally Brute is best coordinated with your alliance; yields the highest Stone and Jade rewards.
- Brutes are significantly stronger than standard Season 5 zombies, so use max Virus Resistance buffs and top-tier troops to minimize troop loss.
4. Rewards and Lan’s Shop
Primary Reward Currency: Jade
- Every Blood Moon monster defeated drops Jade, which can be spent in Lan’s Shop.
Lan’s Shop Exchange List
Lan’s Shop contains exclusive seasonal upgrade materials. Items rotate, but typically include:
| Item | Cost (Jade) | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Quartz | 120–150 Jade | Used for upgrading Season Buildings |
| Orange Chip Chest | 300 Jade | High-tier enhancement materials |
| Blue Chip Chest | 150 Jade | Basic enhancement chips |
| Precision Parts | 250 Jade | Equipment crafting item |
| Stone | 200 Jade | Key resource for Oni Seal Hall upgrades |
Pro Tip:
Prioritize Quartz and Stone first to progress your seasonal buildings, then go for enhancement items like chips and parts.
5. Ranking & Competitive Rewards
The Blood Moon event also includes a ranking system based on total activity or kills during the 30-minute window.
| Rank Type | Reward Example |
|---|---|
| Top Damage | Healing Speedups |
| Top Kill Count | Coin Chests |
| Top Rally Contributor | Jade and Material Bonus |
Players with high stamina efficiency or alliances that coordinate rallies efficiently will dominate these rankings.
6. Miasma Safety Tips
Since Blood Moon automatically adds infection, here’s how to manage stacks effectively:
Before the Event
- Move away from allies: Keep a safe distance to prevent chain infection.
- Keep Shelter Light OFF: Infection will happen anyway — save it for after the event.
- Empty resources: If possible, collect your main resources early; explosions can interrupt production.
During the Event
- Avoid moving near exploded shelters or destroyed watchtowers.
- Don’t rally if your alliance area is overcrowded — spread infection risk outward.
- Use stamina efficiently; focus on nearby Blood Moon monsters rather than long marches.
After the Event
- When the Blood Moon ends, your Miasma stacks remain until purified.
- Send scouts or allies to help purify your shelter if you’re close to 100 stacks.
- If your hive is overrun, teleport temporarily to a cleaner zone to stabilize.
7. Blood Moon & Miasma Interaction
The Blood Moon event directly interacts with the Miasma Virus System introduced earlier this season:
| Mechanic | Effect During Blood Moon |
|---|---|
| Starting Stacks | +50 instantly |
| Max Stacks (100) | Shelter destruction + teleport |
| Spread | +25 stacks to nearby shelters per explosion |
| Purification | Suspended until event ends |
| Blood Moon Light | Disabled once stacks exceed 40 |
Pro Tip:
If you’re farming Miasma achievements, Blood Moon is the perfect window — infections spread rapidly, and achieving 100 stacks for the “Infect & Spread” quest becomes effortless.
8. Strategy & Alliance Coordination
For Solo Players
- Focus on Blood Moon Oni for steady Jade income.
- Avoid crowded alliance zones to prevent infection loops.
- Save teleport items — you’ll need them if your shelter hits 100 stacks.
For Alliances
- Assign designated Blood Moon zones — wide spacing between clusters.
- Time rallies carefully; coordinate members to avoid stacking explosions.
- Have a purification plan ready post-event to stabilize the hive.
For Achievement Hunters
- Intentionally reach 100 stacks during Blood Moon for quick “Spread” progress.
- Position your shelter with 6–7 nearby allies for maximum spread count (25 × 7 = 175 spread per explosion).
- After respawn, use scouts to purify allies and complete the purification achievements.
The Blood Moon Shroud is both a hazard and a farming opportunity. While the mass explosions can wreak havoc on unprepared players, the Jade rewards, Lan’s Shop resources, and achievement synergy make it one of the most lucrative daily events of Season 5.
