SEASON 1 · WEEKLY ROADMAP

Week 1 — Build the Engine

Protein, VRI, Resistance, Serum and the first territory route.

ScopeModern Serum rollout

Quick read

Week 1 determines how quickly the account reaches the rest of Season 1. The objective is to build the resource/resistance engine and use the first Strongholds to create a useful City path.

Facts

  • Plan around the live Week 1 calendar: early purge and Serum activities, the first City windows and any available Exclusive Weapon event. Dates may vary by rollout.
  • If Sunny weather grants bonus Profession EXP from monster kills in your season, schedule suitable hunts during that weather window.
  • Alliances can capture up to 2 Military Strongholds per day under the current Season 1 structure.

BlackBar Gaming recommends

  • Keep Protein production and VRI moving together.
  • Complete Serum Collection daily.
  • Use Sunny windows for useful monster farming when stamina allows.
  • Plan the first Stronghold around future City access.

R4 / R5

  • Track daily Stronghold captures, the next City unlock, and live protection timers.

Watch out

  • Stronghold protection periods can differ between versions. Use the live Stronghold countdown, not a fixed hour estimate.
  • Use the live City Clash timer to confirm the first Level 1 City window.
DETAILED GUIDE

How it works

Page: Season 1 Week 1

This week matters because

Week 1 determines how quickly the account can access the rest of Season 1. The objective is not simply to gain temporary power — it is to build the resource/resistance engine that unlocks stronger enemies, better seasonal rewards and territory progression.

Player priorities

  • Keep Protein Farms producing and progressing.
  • Keep VRI moving with the Protein generated.
  • Complete Serum Collection every day after it opens.
  • Use the Serum Shop to accelerate real progression.
  • Take advantage of Sunny weather when possible for Profession EXP farming.
  • Clear new seasonal enemy levels as Resistance allows.
  • Do not judge PvE readiness from squad power alone.

Territory priorities

  • Check the current daily Military Stronghold capture limit before planning multiple attacks.
  • Stronghold protection is version-dependent. Check its live countdown before scheduling the next capture or defense.
  • City protection rules may depend on the declaration phase and server schedule. Follow the City List timer for the precise end of protection.
  • The first capture should already support the route toward later cities and Lv6 objectives.

Week 1 weather

  • Check the opening weather forecast; any Cloudy period and its effects should be confirmed in your active season.
  • Day 3 onward: server-specific random weather begins.
  • Use Sunny weather for monster hunts if your active weather panel lists a Profession EXP bonus.

For each weather state, show the practical action it supports and verify the actual bonus in the current weather panel.

Week 1 common mistakes

  • Maxing one Protein Farm while cheap equal-production levels remain elsewhere.
  • Ignoring Serum Collection.
  • Spending Serum Fragments on weak sinks immediately.
  • Treating raw squad power as the seasonal PvE gate.
  • Taking Strongholds with no future route plan.
  • Following legacy Genetic Recombination guides as though they describe the modern Serum rollout.
  • Ignoring useful weather windows.
