How to play Azeroth Survivors
Source scope · 核对范围 · 출처 범위 (2026-10-28): Exact patch dates, talent values, timers and scores attributed to azerothsurvivors.app are single-source community claims. v0.120.5 appears in that log; wowsurvivors.com still lists v0.120.4. These are not independently measured client or archive versions. Source policy.
Controls
Both the azeroth-survivors-re README and azerothsurvivors.app list the same keys: WASD or arrows to move, Space to jump, F for the class movement skill once you are level 5, C to unlock the camera, mouse wheel to zoom, Esc to pause, 1/2/3 to take a card, and R to reroll. There is no official tutorial document, so this is source-and-community wording, checked 27 October 2026.
| Key | Action | Where it is written |
|---|---|---|
| WASD / arrows | Move | README and how-to-play guide |
| Space | Jump | Same |
| F | Class movement skill at level 5 | Same |
| 1 / 2 / 3 | Pick a level-up card | Same |
| R | Reroll the cards | Same |
| Esc | Pause | Same |
A run
Level-up shows three cards coloured by rarity. A new spell takes one of six spell slots. The card text states the stat change. Bosses show up about every two minutes. On the live 12-zone list, the final boss is at 16:00 for the first four zones, 18:00 for the next four, and 20:00 for the last four.
Elwynn Forest is the open zone. Its five bosses in the zone guide are Hogger at 3:00, Mother Fang at 6:00, Rhahk’Zor at 9:00, Mr. Smite at 12:00, and Edwin VanCleef at 16:00. Hit points on that page: 3,600 / 9,000 / 17,000 / 28,000 / 52,500. Start there and learn spacing before you chase talent points.
Permanent race unlocks are under Rewards → Races at 100 points per race, and the 27 October patch notes say v0.120.0 keeps them across resets.
What I checked
I put the README key list next to the community guide before I wrote the table. They matched. I did not add a “best first class” here; the tier page is where the three rankings disagree, and a first-run page should not pretend they don’t.
