Survival is one of the main modes of play in Shadow Fight 2. It is introduced in Act I after completing stage 6 of the Tournament, and is available for play in other acts right from the start. Survival has a different playstyle from other modes: It comprises ten consecutive rounds in the first six Acts and six rounds in the Interlude and after. In each round, the player faces Ninja from the current and the preceding act (Looters and Incubator Soldiers in Act VII), equipped with various weapons. With the exception of the enemies at Incubator survival, no opponent appears more than once per battle.
The player has to survive all 10 or 6 rounds in order to score a win and get the full reward including the fight bonuses; failing at any round is considered a loss. Each round has a fixed reward of its own and when the player fails to survive a round, the reward of the last round passed is given, plus the fight bonuses. Every round must be played right after the previous, and players cannot switch equipment between rounds.
Survival Mode provides a very small amount of XP per win, so it is not a recommended method of leveling up. However, it is a good way to farm coins and green Shadow Orbs if the other modes of play are too difficult and the player does not have enough coins to upgrade or buy equipment.
Survival Mode has an ascending difficulty with the first round being the easiest and the last being the most difficult. After completing any round, the player has to continue the following with however much health they have remaining, though it replenishes by 10% at the start of each round.
Playing Survival in Eclipse mode grants the player green shadow orbs in addition to the coins. The Ninja, as per common sense, are harder to defeat in this mode.
The following are rewards given for completing rounds of survival in every Act.
