← Survivors: the Residence, zones and stars
**Survivors** serve in the city on posts inside buildings, and every post grants its own bonus:
the Liaison class, for instance, strengthens alliance help in the [[alliance|Alliance Hall]].
Their rarities and stars are their own and have nothing to do with heroes, and the Residence
is the door into the whole system.
## The Residence
The [[building-residence|Residence]] leads to the survivor panel but grants no bonus of its own:
one level, one value, which is Might. It cannot be demolished and is limited to one copy from
Sanctuary level one.
It costs 480 :res-grain: grain and 360 :res-wood: wood and returns 10,000 hero experience.
## Territory zones
Zones open by completing campaign chapters, though not all of them award survivors: nineteen
zones out of twenty-eight do, for 36 survivors in total. Chests inside a zone are collected one
by one, and the characters standing in them are decorative.
## Survivor stars
Stars are not available to everyone: only the epic and legendary survivors can be raised, while
the rest keep a single fixed stat. The scale holds 25 steps, five full stars of
five steps each.
The full climb costs the same at either rarity, 575 personal shards and 24,700 survivor tokens,
and tokens come free only from the alliance shop at 4 coins apiece, so one maxed survivor works
out at 98,800 alliance coins. The return differs, however: a legendary at the cap gives 50,000
Might against 25,000 for an epic, twice as much for the same shards and tokens, which is why the
legendaries are the ones worth raising.
The bonus grows along with the stars. A legendary farmer takes grain production from 52% to 110%,
with a second bonus reaching 60% on top; the epic version ends at 60% and 30%.
## Survivors by name
Every one of the 383 survivors has a name, but only the legendary ones are worth looking up by it:
there are 151 of them, and only they, together with the epic ones, grow by stars. The legendary
survivors are spread across seventeen posts, and almost every post is shared by several people with
the same bonus, so the post matters more than the name. Two posts belong to a single survivor each:
the Shadow Mercenary and the Bounty Hunter.

| Bounty Hunter | 1 | Freya |
| Shadow Mercenary | 1 | Elaine |
## Elaine, the Shadow Mercenary
The Shadow Mercenary Elaine is alone on her post and the only survivor who strengthens heroes
directly: she adds 1 to the CMD of every hero, and as her stars grow she raises Hero ATK from 125 to
725 and CMD by a further 10%. Her Might runs from 20,000 to 50,000 at the maximum, like any legendary
survivor. She needs no separate hiring: once 10 Shadow Mercenary fragments are in hand, she takes
the post by herself. The game data marks her fragments as a VIP gift, and no shop sells them.
## Freya, the Bounty Hunter
The Bounty Hunter post belongs to a single survivor, the legendary Freya, and her work happens
out on [[falcon-tasks|Falcon Quests]] rather than inside the city: with her on the post, every
completed quest brings back an extra chest on top of the usual reward. She needs no hiring and
takes the post by herself once 10 of her shards are in hand.
Her bonus grows with the stars along three lines at once: how many extra chests a single quest
yields, how many of them a day allows in total, and how valuable those chests are. At star
twenty the SSR Explorer Chest gives way to the UR Adventurer Chest. The table lists the stars
where the bonus changes:
| Stars | Extra chests per quest | Daily maximum | Might |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 1 | 5 | 20,000 |
| 5 | 2 | 10 | 26,000 |
| 10 | 3 | 15 | 32,000 |
| 15 | 4 | 20 | 38,000 |
| 20 | 4 | 25 | 44,000 |
| 25 | 5 | 30 | 50,000 |
The climb costs what it costs for any legendary survivor, 575 shards and 24,700 tokens. Might
rises evenly, 1,200 per step of the scale, from 20,000 on activation to 50,000 at star
twenty-five.
Freya's shards are never handed out for free. They arrive only with paid bundles: there are
seven of them, from 10 shards in the cheapest to 230 in the largest, and each one is sold once
per account. The seven together hold 585 shards and 25,100 tokens, so a full climb on Freya
closes with all seven bought and ten shards to spare.
## Where to assign them
Posts exist in several buildings, and the survivor class has to match the post. The most visible
effect comes from the Alliance Hall posts, which add both the number of helps and their weight.
