Help, I'm being infected!

As we've covered in our first post,  you will get infected through various actions in-game. It could be monster slaying, pvp combat, rallies, weather, etc. From these actions, you will get X amount of stacks which accumulate up to a maximum of 100 stacks. 

At certain intervals, the stacks accumulated will provide a debuff. An overview of the stacks in the game:

1. Hospital Stay (activates with Stack >=1): Every (300 to 200 seconds) one unit becomes seriously injured
2. Moral is low (activates with Stack >=20): Damage dealt is less effective ( -4% to -20%)
3. Fatal Virus (activates with Stack >=40): Increased unit casualties rate in enemy (+4% to +10%)
4. Severe Infection (activates with Stack >=60): Infection carried by troops increases by (11% to 15%) when they march out.
5. Virus Plague (activates with Stack >=80): Your troops have a chance to infect the enemy even in defeat with probability of 8% to 10%

All debuffs have a range. The higher your stacks, the more potent the debuff is. If you have 1 stack, the hospital stay puts 1 unit in the hospital every 300 seconds. at 20 stacks, this will be every 280 seconds. This is the same concept for all of the debuffs.
To view your current amount of stacks and it's effects, you can click on the icon in the top left corner. This will open the overview of your stacks, the debuffs and their timers.

Help, i need a doctor!

That might be, but that surely ain't me. No, the radiation stacks ingame can diminish automatically and manually, here's how:
-  The stacks decrease over time causing buffs and debuffs to expire over time. This is indicated by the timer as seen in the picture above.
- Allies can send a recon airplane towards your base to cure infection stacks. To do so, click on an ally's base and there will be a green icon with a syringe in it. Click on it to dispatch a plane to heal him.

The game also rewards you for curing your allies. For each treatment you apply, you will get an email with a Genetic Fragment in it as a reward. After day 3 of season 1, the Genetic Recombination opens up and you will be able to combine these fragments into extra rewards! There are also milestone rewards for curing X amount of allies, there is no limit in curing allies but it does cost stamina to cure!

Using your stacks offensively

You can also your stacks to infect enemy bases. As seen in the overview, once you reach 80 stacks there is an 8% chance to infect a player up to a 10% chance when you have 100 stacks. You can use this to infect enemy bases and increase their virus stacks. There are 3 conditions possible:
- The enemy has no squads on the wall => The base will receive the stacks your tank is carrying.
- The enemy has squads on the wall, but no troops left => The infection stack will not be transmitted.
- The enemy has squads on the wall and troops remaining => The infection stacks will be transmitted.

TIP: Want to reach 100 stacks quickly for attacking enemy players? Attacking a stronghold 4 times with a squad without it returning to base will put you at 100 stacks.
