As the infected waves keep coming in Resident Evil Survival Unit, mastering horde defense and PvE events is essential for advancing and scoring big rewards. Each mode requires tight team planning, careful resource use, and a grasp of event mechanics. Use these expert strategies to survive longer and climb leaderboards.

Horde Defense: Lane Mastery and Skill Timing

Horde defense is a lane-based mode where strategic deployment is everything.

  • Team Setup: Use a lineup of 2 attack-focused heroes and 1 tank to balance damage and survivability (for example: Claire Redfield, Brad Vickers, and Marvin Branagh).
  • Skill Combo: Time Marvin’s barricades to slow down enemy waves, then drop Claire’s burst attack for fast wave clears. Brad’s obstacle placement maximizes crowd control.​
  • Upgrade Wisely: Prioritize hero skill upgrades and troop training buildings so your teams hold the line against late-stage hordes.

PvE Events: Maximize Rewards with Alliance Play

Special events provide premium loot and rare hero shards.

  • Join Alliance Events: Enable Auto-Rally so you’re automatically sent to alliance boss fights and defense rallies, even if offline. This maximizes point contribution and secures guild-wide rewards.​
  • Prepare for Challenges: Watch the in-game event tab for limited Alligator Hunts or boss stages, and pre-upgrade your best defense team in advance.​
  • Resource Management: Save speed-ups and high-value resources for event rushes, avoiding waste during non-event periods.
