In NecroLand: Undead Corps, you compete in online "battle royale" action to be the last survivor in a zombie-filled wasteland. You control an Alpha Unit that can “tame” legions of wandering undead and add them to your squadron of allies who obey your commands.

Today we're going to talk about the last three Alpha Units we haven't shown: Vulture, Brawn and Rabid. These genetically manipulated units look very different from the rest of the crowd and use unique, deadly skills that can be considered "wild cards." These alpha units are also unlockable like Dark alpha units. At the end of this post, we are also going to briefly introduce the Defense co-op mode so please continue reading!
[b]Vulture[/b]

Vulture has a genetic modification that triggers rapidly developed intelligence. He's good at manufacturing and calculating explosives; he collects ancient remnants and toxic gases to create explosive devices and bombards enemies with them. His grenades can hit multiple enemies from a distance at once!

Vulture goes "big brain" when it comes to his special skill. He throws a special "trap" grenade, one that does no damage to the enemy. What's so great about a grenade that doesn't inflict any damage? Well, when a enemy is hit by this skill, it cannot move for several seconds - it can't chase you, and it can't run away.

Developer Comments: Vulture is like a grenadier, to put it simply. This warrior denies enemies getting in close, regardless of their number. The "Throw Trap" skill ties up an enemy's movement - which is especially useful in Duo mode, because your teammate can finish them off while they're stuck in one place.
[b]Brawn[/b]
[img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/36262379/eb962cfa1e76c6b94c8fdb7db5f6c0c4be265b64.png[/img]
While Vulture is known for its intelligence, this bulked-up monster specializes in physical power. Brawn can pound the ground with its immense strength, causing shockwaves that can tear enemies apart. If any enemies are nearby, even those with reinforced armor will be shredded to death by Brawn's pounding attack.

Brawn's special skill maximizes the potential of its power. Its "Rush" skill charges into enemies in a matter of seconds, and anyone in the path of his charge will be stunned for a short amount of time. This allows Brawn to deal damage freely while enemies can't do anything until they recover from the stun.

Developer Comments: Because of its high health points and wide area-of-effect attack, we recommend Brawn to all players, from beginners to veterans. The Rush skill will be very useful for not only chasing down escaping enemies, but also for getting out of sketchy situations.
[b]Rabid[/b]

This genetically and physically modified undead Alpha Unit can shoot gas bombs filled with a manipulated virus that can destroy even the undead by demolishing their central nerves. If any undead are enveloped by the deadly gas cloud, they will choke to death unless the gas fades away or they escape from it.

Actually escaping from Rabid's gas is not easy, as you are basically at his mercy once inside the gas radius. Rabid's special skill "Explode Gas" allows its gas to explode and deal huge amount of damage to whatever's inside the gas cloud. It doesn't matter how big your army is; it can disappear in a matter of seconds if you're not cautious when fighting against Rabid.

Developer Comments: We recommend Rabid and its special "Explode Gas" skill for players who are confident in their Alpha Unit control. If you're defending an area that needs to be secured at all costs, Rabid can handle it with no problem. Just cover up the area with gas and make it go boom to finish off any intruders.
[b]About Defense Mode[/b]

In Defense mode, you can team up with three other players and fight off waves of enemy attacks to defend your main base. It's a cooperative mode, so you'll have to work together with your teammates, building up sufficient armies and defense around the main base. Fending off enemies gets increasingly more difficult after each wave.

For the majority of the time, you'll see groups of undead armies approaching your base. However, you also have to watch out for Boss enemies to invade after a certain number of waves. As the "Boss" tag suggests, these powerful enemies can erase you and your army if you ever decide to go 1v1 against them. You will definitely have to fight together with your teammates to deal with them properly or risk losing everything.
Try to stay alive as long as you can - the longer you survive, the more rewards you get from the game! This mode can be a great income method for players who need to take a rest from the competitiveness of Battle Royale and Duo mode, or if you just enjoy playing co-op with friends.
In our next post, we'll take a closer look at in-game items, artifacts and research. Stay tuned and be sure to wishlist [b]Necroland: Undead Corps[/b] to get updates!
