Zombie Sieges is a large-scale, alliance-focused defense event where waves of undead relentlessly attack every member’s base. Survival isn’t just about defending your own shelter — it’s also about rallying to protect your teammates. This guide explains how the event works, how to maximize your rewards, and what to expect from each wave.

Event Basics
The event is initiated by the alliance leader or any R4 member.
Each alliance can initiate only one Zombie Siege during the event.
Once started, 25 zombie waves will sequentially attack every member’s base.
A player is eliminated from the event if their shelter is breached twice.
Defense System
Every wave that you completely defeat counts as a successful defense.
You earn Defense Points for each successful defense.
You can also earn bonus points by assisting your alliance members in defending their shelters.
The higher your personal and alliance points, the better your milestone and ranking rewards.
Event Rules
Perfect Defense Bonus: If a large number of alliance members complete perfect defenses (no fires, no breaches), the alliance can unlock higher difficulty levels — which yield more points and better rewards.
Shelter Relocation Penalty: If you move your shelter during a siege, it counts as a defeat for that wave. Do not teleport unless absolutely necessary.
Leaving the Alliance:
If you leave the alliance after earning points, your participation in the current siege is immediately terminated.
If you leave before rewards are distributed, you will not receive any alliance ranking rewards.
Unclaimed Rewards: Ranking rewards and certain milestone rewards will be delivered via in-game mail after the event ends.
Defense Points and Rewards
Points System
- You must accumulate both personal and alliance-wide points to unlock rewards.
- Some rewards are tied to your Zombie Siege difficulty level (e.g., Difficulty 5 or higher).
Personal & Alliance Milestone Rewards
Rewards may include:
- Speedups
- Hero fragments
- Skill books
- Purple or orange-quality materials
- Chip chests
- Alliance resource crates
These become unlocked as you and your alliance reach specific point thresholds.
Alliance Ranking Rewards
Top-performing alliances (based on total defense points) receive exclusive rewards. The higher your alliance ranks at the end of the event, the more valuable the reward bundle.
Individual Ranking Rewards
The top individual defenders in the event (based on total personal points) also receive additional rewards via mail. Performing consistently well over multiple waves increases your chances of placing.

You are expected to defend up to all 25 waves. Failing two of them ends your personal run.
How to Maximize Points
- Defend every wave as long as possible. Survive all 25 waves if you can.
- Assist your allies frequently. Helping others nets bonus defense points.
- Do not teleport your shelter during active waves — this instantly counts as a defeat.
- Stay in your alliance until after rewards have been sent.
- Use your best defense formations, troop types, and power boosts — especially during later waves where power hits 27M+.
The Zombie Siege event is a solid test of alliance coordination, personal strength, and endurance. Rewards are generous but highly competitive, especially in higher difficulties.
You won’t just win by brute force — strategic support, staying alert during waves, and protecting your alliance base all contribute toward maximizing your haul.
