Zombie Siege (Season 3)

Zombie Siege in Season 3

Zombie Siege continues its regular schedule in Season 3. Your alliance has the strongest squads yet — Scarlett UR, Marshall with Exclusive Weapon, multiple weapon-equipped heroes, and higher star-promoted gear. The key Season 3 addition is Desert Protectors, which serve as powerful reinforcement troops for weaker bases.

For the full event mechanics, see the Zombie Siege Guide.

What Is Different in Season 3

Desert Protectors as Reinforcements

This is the headline change for Zombie Siege in Season 3. Desert Protectors can be used as reinforcement troops:

• Protectors are 10x stronger than regular troops — a small number of Protectors can hold a weak base through late waves
• Send Protectors to bases that would otherwise fail — their combat power is enormous for the garrison
• Protectors are consumed in battle — once they die defending a base, they are gone. Budget accordingly
• This is not free — every Protector spent in Zombie Siege is one less Protector for Spice Wars

Stronger Individual Defences

By Season 3, individual base defences are dramatically stronger:

• Scarlett UR adds a powerful Tank hero to garrison formations
• Marshall's Exclusive Weapon boosts your entire garrison's damage through team buffs
• Murphy's Mitigation Master continues to be the best garrison hero in the game
• Star-promoted gear means higher base stats across the board
• Most members should be able to solo through waves 1-12+ without reinforcement

Smaller Power Gaps (Further Reduced)

The gap between your strongest and weakest members continues to shrink:

• Three seasons of investment means even casual players have functional squads
• More members survive deeper into waves without reinforcement
• Fewer members need early reinforcement — concentrate help on the true stragglers

Season 3 Reinforcement Strategy

Desert Protector Reinforcement

The most efficient reinforcement method in Season 3:

1. Identify the weakest 3-5 members before the event
2. Assign Protector senders — your strongest players who can solo all 20 waves without Protectors
3. Send Protectors at wave 10-12 — before weak members start failing
4. A small Protector force is enough — their 10x stats mean even 50-100 Protectors dramatically change the outcome
5. Do not send all your Protectors — budget for Spice Wars

Traditional Hero Reinforcement

Standard reinforcement remains effective alongside Protectors:

• Murphy with Mitigation Master is still the best reinforcement hero
• Scarlett UR is a strong second reinforcement option — she can tank independently
• Marshall with Exclusive Weapon boosts the entire defending garrison's damage
• If your base can survive solo, send your heroes to help weaker members

Combined Approach

For maximum reinforcement effectiveness:

1. Send Desert Protectors for raw combat power — they do the heavy lifting
2. Send Murphy for survivability — his mitigation protects the garrison
3. Send Marshall for damage — his weapon-enhanced buffs make the entire garrison fight harder
4. Together, a Protector + Murphy + Marshall reinforcement can carry almost any base through all 20 waves

Season 3 Garrison Formations

Tank Garrison (Strongest Defence)

• Front: Murphy (Mitigation Master) and Scarlett (UR)
• Back: Kimberly (Rocket Shadow), Mason, Marshall (Exclusive Weapon)
• Marshall's weapon buffs amplify the entire garrison's zombie-killing output

Aircraft Garrison (Burst Defence)

• Front: Murphy (Exception) or Carlie (with weapon), Lucius
• Back: DVA (Energy Master), Morrison, Schuyler
• DVA can burst down high-priority zombie threats before they reach your wall

Missile Garrison (Energy Damage)

• Front: Adam, McGregor
• Back: Tesla (Lightning Enhancement), Fiona, Swift
• Tesla's energy damage shreds high-HP zombie waves effectively

Season 3 Preparation Checklist

1. Set your defence squad — strongest formation with Exclusive Weapons equipped
2. Check Desert Protector budget — can you afford to spend some? When is the next Spice Wars?
3. Coordinate reinforcement assignments — who sends Protectors, who sends heroes, who receives help
4. Recall all troops and heal all wounded
5. Stay online for communication — report wave status so reinforcements arrive on time

Common Season 3 Zombie Siege Mistakes

1. Depleting Desert Protectors before Spice Wars — always budget Protectors for Wednesday/Saturday
2. Not using Protectors when you can afford them — if you have a surplus and Spice Wars is days away, use them
3. Sending Protectors too late — reinforce at wave 10-12, not wave 18 when the base is about to fall
4. Confusing CR with Zombie Siege stats — CR does not affect this event. Standard combat power matters
5. Not leveraging Marshall's weapon in garrison — his team-wide buff benefits all defending heroes
6. Strong players not reinforcing — if you can solo all 20 waves, send your heroes and Protectors to help
