Money Survival: Mission 1 – Silo Sweep
Important Note:
Enemy AI may react differently depending on positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If enemy movement varies slightly from this walkthrough, follow the same strategic principles rather than trying to match every move exactly.
Objective:
Destroy all enemy units.
Starting Funds / CO Setup:
Recommended COs: Colin / Rachel
Why These COs:
Colin’s lower unit costs help preserve funds across the full Survival run, while Rachel provides dependable backup utility later in the mode. This opening map is straightforward, but conserving strong CO options early is still ideal.
Map Overview:
Jess begins with three Neotanks against your single Medium Tank and two nearby Infantry positioned near missile silos. The silos are the key to clearing this map efficiently. Proper silo timing reduces the Neotanks enough for your Medium Tank to finish them safely.
Opening Plan:
Use your Infantry to reach the missile silos as quickly as possible while keeping your Medium Tank positioned to capitalize once the enemy armor is weakened.
Turn-by-Turn Clear Strategy:
- Day 1: Build two Infantry and move your Medium Tank 2 spaces west.
- Day 2: Move the top Infantry 2 north and 1 east. Move the bottom Infantry 2 south and 1 east.
- Day 3: Move both Infantry 3 spaces east. Move the Medium Tank 1 east and 2 south.
- Day 4: Move both Infantry 2 spaces east and fire both missile silos, reducing all three Neotanks to 4 HP. Move your Medium Tank 2 north and 2 east.
- Day 5: Because two Neotanks will group together on the eastern side, use the final two missile silos to hit them again, reducing them to 2 HP. Move your Medium Tank 3 east and destroy the left Neotank.
- Day 6: Destroy the final remaining Neotank with your Medium Tank.
Key Threat Notes:
Do not fire the second pair of silos too early. Waiting until two Neotanks have grouped together ensures maximum damage efficiency.
End Condition:
All three enemy Neotanks destroyed.
Money Survival: Mission 2 – Bad Pangaea
Important Note:
Enemy AI may react differently depending on positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If enemy movement varies slightly from this walkthrough, follow the same strategic principles rather than trying to match every move exactly.
Objective:
Capture the enemy HQ.
Starting Funds / CO Setup:
Recommended COs: Colin / Rachel
Why These COs:
Colin keeps deployment costs low across the full Survival ladder, while Rachel provides flexible indirect support. This mission is won through fast siege pressure rather than brute force.
Map Overview:
Sami has only light resistance here, but the minicannon blocks the fastest HQ route. Removing it immediately creates a clean capture lane and lets you end the mission before enemy reinforcements matter.
Opening Plan:
Deploy the exact indirect combination needed to remove the minicannon on turn two, then rush the HQ with Infantry while your Rocket clears remaining threats.
Turn-by-Turn Clear Strategy:
- Day 1: Build an Artillery from the northwest base. Build a Rocket from the southwest base. Build an Infantry from the northeast base. Switch to Rachel.
- Day 2: Use the Artillery and Rocket to destroy the minicannon beside the HQ route. Move the Infantry 2 east and 1 north toward the HQ.
- Day 3: Begin capturing the HQ. Attack Sami’s Infantry with your Rocket.
- Day 4: Destroy the damaged Infantry with your Rocket. Finish capturing the HQ.
Key Threat Notes:
Do not delay destroying the minicannon. Any slower opening costs the clean four day clear.
End Condition:
Enemy HQ captured.
Money Survival: Mission 3 – Chokepoint
Important Note:
Enemy AI may react differently depending on positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If enemy movement varies slightly from this walkthrough, follow the same strategic principles rather than trying to match every move exactly.
Objective:
Destroy all enemy units.
Starting Funds / CO Setup:
Recommended COs: Colin / Rachel
Why These COs:
Colin’s reduced deployment costs make the expensive Megatank and Battleship purchase affordable without compromising later Survival maps. Rachel provides the stronger opening field position needed to stabilize the center.
Map Overview:
This is the first major attrition map in Money Survival. Sasha and Colin field multiple heavy armor threats, including two enemy Megatanks. Tower control is critical here. Capturing the towers early gives your army the firepower needed to win favorable trades against superior enemy armor.
Opening Plan:
Secure every nearby tower immediately while building toward your heavy armor core. Your Battleship and Megatank are the anchors that let you dismantle the enemy center safely.
Turn-by-Turn Clear Strategy:
- Day 1: Build two Infantry. Switch to Colin.
- Day 2: Move both Infantry 2 north to begin capturing towers. Build two more Infantry. Build one Battleship.
- Day 3: Complete both tower captures. Move the lower left Infantry 1 west to begin capturing the western tower. Move the other new Infantry 2 south toward the southern tower. Build a Megatank from the southwest base. Move the Battleship 1 north and 4 west. Switch back to Rachel.
- Day 4: Continue capturing towers. Move the Megatank 2 south. Attack the Black Hole Megatank with your Battleship.
- Day 5: Attack the Green Earth Neotank with your Battleship. Move your Neotank 6 west. Move your Tank 1 south and 4 west. Complete remaining tower captures. Move the free left Infantry 2 east and 1 south. Move the right Infantry 2 west to begin capturing the center tower.
- Day 6: Destroy the Green Earth Neotank with your Neotank. Destroy the Black Hole Megatank with your Megatank. Continue tower captures and advance all ground units. Move your Tank 5 west. Move the Battleship 1 south and 4 west.
- Day 7: Attack the Green Earth Megatank with your Battleship. Move your Neotank 1 north and 4 west to finish that Megatank. Move your Tank 2 west and 1 south to destroy the Artillery. Advance Infantry westward toward remaining towers. Destroy the Black Hole Infantry as well.
- Day 8: Push your Neotank into Rocket range and continue the western advance. Destroy the Green Earth Artillery with your Tank. Attack the Black Hole Medium Tank with your Battleship.
- Day 9: Destroy the Green Earth Rocket with your Neotank. Move the Battleship 2 west and 2 south. Advance your Megatank westward toward remaining Black Hole forces.
- Day 10: Destroy the Black Hole Artillery with your Battleship. Continue advancing your Megatank west.
- Day 11: Finish off the Black Hole Medium Tank with your Battleship.
Key Threat Notes:
Do not delay tower captures. Without full tower control, your armor trades become much less favorable against both enemy Megatanks.
End Condition:
All enemy units destroyed.
Money Survival: Mission 4 – Cold Shoulder
Important Note:
Enemy AI may react differently depending on positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If enemy movement varies slightly from this walkthrough, follow the same strategic principles rather than trying to match every move exactly.
Objective:
Destroy all enemy units.
Starting Funds / CO Setup:
Recommended COs: Colin / Rachel
Why These COs:
Colin makes repeated Megatank deployment affordable, which is exactly what this map demands. Rachel is retained as the secondary CO for later Survival maps, but Colin carries the entire solution here through raw armor efficiency.
Map Overview:
Nell’s army is durable, but this map is built around overwhelming her position with superior heavy armor mass. There is little tactical complexity beyond fast production and direct pressure.
Opening Plan:
Mass produce Megatanks immediately, then roll forward in a solid armored line. Speed matters more than finesse here.
Turn-by-Turn Clear Strategy:
- Day 1: Build two Megatanks.
- Day 2: Move both Megatanks 4 spaces east. Build two more Megatanks.
- Day 3: Advance all Megatanks and begin engaging Nell’s front line.
- Day 4: Continue pushing east and eliminate remaining enemy resistance.
- Day 5: Finish destroying all surviving enemy units.
Key Threat Notes:
Do not stagger your Megatanks too far apart. Keeping them grouped prevents Nell from isolating damaged units and slowing your clear pace.
End Condition:
All enemy units destroyed.
Money Survival: Mission 5 – Crowded Plain
Important Note:
Enemy AI may react differently depending on positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If enemy movement varies slightly from this walkthrough, follow the same strategic principles rather than trying to match every move exactly.
Objective:
Destroy the enemy Megatank.
Starting Funds / CO Setup:
Recommended COs: Colin / Rachel
Why These COs:
This mission is solved through Tag Power timing rather than production volume. Rachel’s missile strike setup is essential for weakening the Megatank into finishing range, while Colin preserves your long term Survival economy.
Map Overview:
Rachel controls a single Megatank backed by terrain obstacles, making direct combat inefficient. The intended solution is to combine Rachel’s missile damage with your Piperunner’s finishing strike.
Opening Plan:
Position your Piperunner into attack range immediately, then trigger Tag Power on the next turn to create the clean one turn knockout.
Turn-by-Turn Clear Strategy:
- Day 1: Move the Piperunner 1 east and 4 south.
- Day 2: Activate Tag Power. Use Rachel’s missiles to reduce the enemy Megatank to 1 HP. Finish it off with your Piperunner.
Key Threat Notes:
Do not attack before Tag Power is active. The Megatank must be softened first or your Piperunner will fail to secure the one turn kill.
End Condition:
Enemy Megatank destroyed.
Money Survival: Mission 6 – Narrow Road
Important Note:
Enemy AI may react differently depending on positioning, damage rolls, and capture timing. If enemy movement varies slightly from this walkthrough, follow the same strategic principles rather than trying to match every move exactly.
Objective:
Destroy all enemy Megatanks.
Starting Funds / CO Setup:
Recommended COs: Colin / Rachel
Why These COs:
Colin’s reduced unit costs make the transport setup and double Medium Tank finish affordable, while Rachel provides the final cleanup firepower once the missile silo chain has reduced the enemy armor.
Map Overview:
Kindle fields seven Megatanks in a narrow corridor, making direct combat impractical at first. This mission is solved by precise Infantry transport, timed missile silo launches, and a final armored cleanup after the enemy line has been reduced to low HP.
Opening Plan:
Load Infantry into APCs immediately and race them toward the missile silos. Your entire early game is about positioning all silo activations for the same turn.
Turn-by-Turn Clear Strategy:
- Day 1: Build one APC from the northern base. Build one Infantry from the southern base. Switch to Colin.
- Day 2: Build one APC from the southern base. Build one Infantry from the northern base. Move the northern APC, loaded with Infantry, 2 north and 4 west.
- Day 3: Move the top APC 5 west and 1 north. Move the bottom APC, carrying Infantry, 3 south and 3 west. Build two additional Infantry.
- Day 4: Move both APCs 5 west. Move the top Infantry 3 north. Move the bottom Infantry 3 south.
- Day 5: Leave the top and bottom silo Infantry in place. Move the top APC 5 west and unload its Infantry to the left. Move the bottom APC 6 west.
- Day 6: Fire missiles from the top left, top right, and bottom Infantry positions, reducing nearly every Megatank to 1 HP. Move the bottom APC 5 west and unload its Infantry to the left. Build two Medium Tanks. Switch to Rachel.
- Day 7: Use the top and bottom left Infantry missile strikes to weaken the remaining 8 HP Megatank down to 2 HP. Send both Medium Tanks west to destroy the last surviving Megatanks.
Key Threat Notes:
Missile timing is everything here. If any Infantry reaches its silo late, the entire synchronized damage pattern breaks and the final cleanup becomes messy.
End Condition:
All enemy Megatanks destroyed.
