Combat
Six kinds of enemy zombie come in the battle waves. The Keeper fights them with zombie squads, the mercenaries, barricades and archer towers.
The Town
Damage of one enemy hit, by target
The damage each enemy's hit deals to each target, by the target's defense. The Bloated Zombie's death burst deals 10 whatever the defense.

Enemies in each battle
A battle's waves come along one to three lines at once. Each line sends timed groups of enemies with pauses in between and holds at most 15 to 100 enemies at once, depending on the battle; the rest wait to enter. The waves end when the longest line has run its course, and enemies still waiting then never appear.
What the waves of every battle send, and how long they run.

The Keeper's side
The Keeper has 100 health. A battle can only be started with a sword and body armor in the tool belt, so the Keeper always fights in armor: defense 0 in Rusty Armor, up to 4 in Master Armor.
The Keeper's weapons
The attack of each hit the Keeper deals. Enemies have defense 0, so it lands in full, unless a Door Zombie's door stops it. Damage Potion, Damage Potion II and Damage Potion III add 3, 6 and 9 to the Keeper's sword and bow attack for 30 s.
| Weapon | Attack | Raised by |
|---|---|---|
| Rusty Sword | 4 | +2 with Sword Master and +2 with God's fury |
| Bronze Sword | 5 | +2 with Sword Master and +2 with God's fury |
| Iron Sword | 7 | +2 with Sword Master and +2 with God's fury |
| Steel Sword | 10 | +2 with Sword Master and +2 with God's fury |
| Master Sword | 13 | +3 with Sword Master and +2 with God's fury |
| Simple Bow | 4 | +3 with God's fury |
| Reinforced Bow | 8 | +3 with God's fury |
| Battle Bow | 15 | +3 with God's fury |
| Heavy Bow | 22 | +3 with God's fury |
How it works
Damage never drops below 0. Enemies, barricades and archer towers have defense 0. The Keeper's defense is the worn armor's, from 0 (Rusty Armor) to 4 (Master Armor); a zombie fighter's is its armor's plus 1 with Tin Can; a mercenary's is 1. The Bloated Zombie's death burst deals 10 whatever the defense.
