Unlocking Every Character in Warhammer Survivors
A comprehensive guide to obtaining playable heroes from both 40K and Age of Sigmar.
1Dual Universe Roster
Warhammer Survivors features a diverse character roster spanning the 40,000 and Age of Sigmar universes. Players must navigate distinct objectives and earn credits to expand their available hero list. While some characters are accessible from the start, others require specific gameplay milestones or rescue missions within various game maps.
2Default 40K Characters
Malum Caedo is the only character unlocked by default within the 40K universe section. To acquire Brother Luca Amasius, players must spend 200 coins, while Sister Superior Amalia Novena requires 400 coins. These initial steps establish the currency-based progression system used for several other units throughout the game's various modes.
3Mission-Based 40K Unlocks
Several 40K characters are obtained by completing specific rescue missions or combat challenges. For instance, Trooper Bartosz Kozlowski and The Legend of Catachan are found on the Imperial Bastion map. Meanwhile, players must defeat 1,000 Nurglings in one run to unlock Max Mahon or 10,000 total enemies to secure Tor Garadon.
4Advanced 40K Requirements
Unlocking high-tier characters like Chief Librarian Mephiston and Lieutenant Titus involves collecting specific Paint Pots during runs. Mephiston requires four distinct pots, including Abaddon Black and Mephiston Red. Lieutenant Titus demands a more extensive collection of six specific pots, such as Retributor Armour and MacCragge Blue, to become fully playable.
5Age of Sigmar Starters
The Age of Sigmar universe offers three characters available from the beginning: Neave Blacktalon, Lorai, Child of Abyss, and Juntal Bernskyn. These starting heroes allow players to immediately engage with the game's mechanics before tackling the more complex unlock requirements needed to acquire the remaining roster members in this specific category.
6Sigmar Rescue Missions
Many Age of Sigmar characters are tied to rescue objectives across different maps. Armand Callis and Hanniver Toll are found on The Great Parch, while Gotrek Gurnisson is located at Skrappa Spill. Additionally, players must rescue Bostus Oxenhammer at Bloodwind Spoil and Ulgronthier within the Under-Empire to add them to their active roster.
7Combat and Collection Unlocks
Specific combat feats and item collections are required for the remaining Age of Sigmar heroes. Sharynn Azurwrath is unlocked by defeating 10 Troggoths, and Shakan Golden Blade requires applying the Slowed status to 100 enemies. Maleneth Witchblade, Lyssa Revenya, and Valius, the Keeper Aqshian, are obtained by finding specific sets of Paint Pots.
8Strategic Progression Impact
Successfully unlocking these characters significantly alters gameplay variety by providing unique abilities and passive bonuses. Whether through currency accumulation, combat milestones, or item hunting, each unlock path demands a different strategic approach. Players should prioritize these objectives to maximize their efficiency and build a versatile team for both game universes.
