The Reservoir Raid in Tiles Survive is one of the most competitive and strategic alliance modes in the game. In this event, alliances face off in a real-time tactical war where teamwork, planning, and map control determine victory.
In the featured battle, State 40 (SCA) faced State 43 (ELF) in a heated back-and-forth fight — a perfect example of how intense these raids can get.
Tiles Survive Reservoir Raid Guide & Battle Walkthrough
The Reservoir Raid is a 30 vs 30 alliance battle where both sides compete to collect Water Points by capturing and holding various buildings on a large tactical map.
The event is designed to test coordination, resource management, and mobility more than brute strength alone.
Basic Structure:
30 players per alliance (total of 60 in one match).
Each alliance spawns on opposite sides of the map.
Objective: Capture buildings and generate water to outscore the enemy.
Time limit: The match continues until the end timer expires — the team with the most water wins.
2. Teleport Mechanics Explained
One of the most strategic parts of the Reservoir Raid is teleporting. Moving around the map costs Teleport Items, which become more expensive with each use.
Teleport Rules:
Free Teleport: Every 10 minutes, you get one free teleport.
Paid Teleports: Any teleport beyond the cooldown costs additional teleport items.
Scaling Cost: Each successive teleport costs more. For example:
1st paid teleport – 1 item
2nd – 2 items
3rd – 3 items
and so on
This means even high-spending players (known as “krakens”) can’t teleport endlessly without burning through resources.
Plan your movements carefully. Prioritize teleports that give you access to high-value buildings or enable flanking positions near enemy spawns.
3. The Objective: Capture & Control Buildings
The map is filled with structures that generate either Solo Water Points or Alliance Water Points.
| Building Type | Reward Type | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Solo Point Buildings | Individual | Boost your personal score and rewards. |
| Alliance Point Buildings | Shared | Contribute to your alliance’s total water score to win the raid. |
To win, your alliance must dominate Alliance Water Points by occupying key structures for the longest possible time. Meanwhile, capturing Solo Buildings will help you climb the personal leaderboard.
4. Rewards Overview
Both Alliance and Solo rewards in the Reservoir Raid are generous — even if you lose, you’ll walk away with valuable resources.
Alliance Rewards:
Given based on your alliance’s final ranking.
Include resources, speed-ups, and general parts.
Solo Rewards:
Earned based on your personal Water Points and ranking milestones.
Notable Solo Rewards Include:
8-hour Speedups
Targeted Recruitment Tokens
General Parts
Advancement Items
Bonus Rewards for Top Solo Ranks
These rewards are ideal for mid- and late-game players looking to advance faster without heavy spending.
5. Strategy and Tips for Winning the Reservoir Raid
Winning isn’t just about power — it’s about coordination, map awareness, and resource management.
Here’s how top-performing alliances approach it:
A. Pre-Fight Planning
Assign clear roles before the match (frontline attackers, teleport defenders, flankers).
Decide which buildings to prioritize first — usually central high-water structures.
Keep backup players ready to reinforce weakened areas.
B. Communication
Use voice chat or alliance chat actively.
Relay teleport cooldowns and enemy movement.
Call out contested buildings early to avoid sudden point loss.
C. Efficient Teleporting
Save your free teleport for repositioning when the fight shifts.
Only spend teleport items when moving to defend or secure key structures.
Avoid panic teleporting unless it’s critical.
D. Water Point Management
The more buildings your team holds simultaneously, the faster your water accumulates.
Focus on holding, not just capturing. Constant back-and-forth trades waste teleport items and time.
E. Individual Score Maximization
Capture solo buildings early before the big alliance fights begin.
Defend captured structures instead of chasing kills — they’re worth more water over time.
Keep attacking enemy-occupied buildings that generate personal points for faster solo progression.
6. Rewards After the Raid
Regardless of victory or defeat, participants receive rewards based on:
Alliance Win or Loss
Solo Point Milestones
Solo Rank
Winning alliances receive extra bundles, but even losing teams gain strong upgrade materials and speedups, making every raid worth participating in.
The Reservoir Raid in Tiles Survive is more than a standard alliance event — it’s a test of tactical endurance, communication, and foresight.
Victory comes not from who spends more, but who plans smarter.
