Fighting a Giant Mega Boss in Hero Wars: Zombie Virus

 

A Mega Boss warning appeared during the battle, and a few seconds later this massive creature entered the battlefield.

It’s huge. The tentacles cover a big part of the screen, and once it starts attacking, the fight gets chaotic pretty quickly.

After fighting through its attacks and slowly bringing down its health, we finally managed to defeat it.

This was definitely one of the more memorable boss fights in HERO WARS: ZOMBIE VIRUS.

Why I Moved My Base Before Placing a Barricade | Hero Wars: Zombie Virus

   

I tried a simple Barricade strategy in HERO WARS: ZOMBIE VIRUS.

Instead of placing the Barricade closer to my side, I moved the base forward first. The base moves by its normal fixed distance, which allowed me to place the Barricade farther forward.

That changed the fight more than I expected.

The enemy had to attack and destroy the Barricade before they could continue advancing toward my side. That bought me extra time, limited their pressure, and helped me take control of the battle.

It’s a small positioning trick, but it worked really well in this fight.

My First Master Rank Battle Was a Disaster | Hero Wars: Zombie Virus

I finally reached Master Rank and jumped into my first battle.

It didn't take long to realize this was going to be rough.

My opponent started pushing almost immediately, and I never really managed to take control of the fight. Every time I tried to hold the line, the pressure kept coming.

Then, just when things were already going badly, my opponent landed a stun on me too.

There was no comeback this time. I simply got overwhelmed and lost the battle.

Not exactly the Master Rank debut I was hoping for, but it was pretty funny looking back at it. 😅

Time to figure out how to survive the next one.

                                   

Why Moving Your Base Forward Matters | Hero Wars: Zombie Virus

Sometimes your army can push too far ahead.

In this battle, my units had already reached the area around the enemy base, but that also meant they were getting too far away from my own base.

Once the frontline moves outside the base's shield support range, those units can no longer receive the shield effect.

So I moved the base forward instead of pulling the army back.

Once the base caught up with the frontline, the units were back within shield range and could continue putting pressure on the enemy base.

It's a small positioning decision, but it can make a big difference when your frontline keeps advancing.

                                   

Can Max-Level Troopers Clear Stage 124? | Hero Wars: Zombie Virus

                                   

I wanted to see how useful the most basic unit in the game could be this late in the stages.

For this Stage 124 run, I used max-level Troopers as my only combat units. I didn't produce any of the other combat units during the challenge.

This wasn't a completely unsupported Trooper run. I used boosters and defenses, and my character had the usual costume and suit bonuses equipped.

The idea was simply to see whether Troopers could still get the job done when they were the only combat unit being produced.

They made it all the way through Stage 124.

A Tough Diamond 2v2 Match | Hero Wars: Zombie Virus

 

                                   

This was one of those 2v2 matches where neither side could stay in control for very long.

We'd start pushing forward, then the other team would turn things around and push us back. The momentum kept changing throughout the match.

Eventually we managed to get one more good push going and took the win.

Diamond-tier 2v2 is definitely getting tougher, but matches like this are also a lot more fun to play.

Making the Zombies Fight for Me | Hero Wars: Zombie Virus

I was getting tired of fighting the same zombies, so this time I decided to use them instead.

Zombie Infection can turn enemies killed by infected zombies into allied zombies, so for a while they end up fighting on your side.

After the infection effect ended, I switched to Stimpacks and pushed through the remaining enemies.

Sometimes the easiest way to deal with zombies is to let them fight each other first.
