About State of Survival Handbook
Your trusted companion for mastering State of Survival — built by Chiefs, for Chiefs.
State of Survival Handbook exists to provide free, comprehensive, and accurate strategy guides for State of Survival players of every skill level. We believe every Chief deserves access to high-quality game knowledge — without paywalls, gatekeeping, or fluff.
State of Survival Handbook is run by long-time players who have grown settlements from HQ 1 to Plasma-level content. The team includes alliance leaders, rally callers, and theorycrafters who genuinely enjoy reverse-engineering hero skills, troop ratios, and research trees.
Our advice comes from playing the game the way you do — across multiple states, on F2P and spending accounts alike, through the events that actually decide where an account ends up. That hands-on experience is what shapes every guide on this site: practical advice that holds up in the field.
- Accounts run from HQ 1 through late-game progression
- Alliance leadership across multiple states
- Both F2P and spending accounts, tested side by side
- Every major recurring event, run and scored
- Hero generations, skill priorities, and fragment budgeting
- Troop tiers, march composition, and the troop-type triangle
- HQ progression, building order, and builder efficiency
- Research priorities, event prep, and alliance warfare
