Disaster Survival Tactics
Master survival techniques for every disaster in Escape Disasters for Memes. From tsunamis to meteors, learn the strategies used by top players to survive and thrive.
Before diving into specific disasters, master these universal survival rules:
- Always Keep Moving: Standing still is the #1 cause of death. Most disasters can be avoided with constant movement.
- Know Your Speed: Understand what disasters you can outrun based on your current speed level.
- Plan Escape Routes: Always have a mental map of safe zones and elevated terrain near you.
- Memes vs Survival: Your life is more valuable than any meme. Drop everything if necessary to survive.
- Watch the Warnings: Disasters often give visual or audio cues before striking - learn to recognize them.
The most common and slowest tsunami. Easy to outrun even with minimal speed upgrades.
Survival Strategy
Simply run away from the wave. Even starting speed can outpace blue tsunamis with good timing.
Advanced Techniques
- •Perfect for beginners to practice timing
- •Use as opportunity to go deeper into the field
- •Can safely hunt memes when blue tsunami spawns
- •Watch the wave direction - always run perpendicular first, then away
Medium-speed tsunami that matches your sprint speed. Requires decent upgrades to outrun comfortably.
Survival Strategy
Need at least 50+ speed to comfortably outrun. Watch your stamina and plan escape routes in advance.
Advanced Techniques
- •Matches your base sprint speed - need buffer for safe escape
- •Upgrade speed before attempting mid-field hunts
- •Look for elevated terrain or ditches if caught off guard
- •Don't panic - maintain consistent sprint speed
- •Drop low-value memes if necessary to maintain speed
The deadliest tsunami. Extremely fast and nearly impossible to outrun without maximum speed upgrades.
Survival Strategy
Find a hiding spot or high ground IMMEDIATELY. Only 100+ speed players can attempt to outrun red tsunamis.
Advanced Techniques
- •DO NOT attempt to outrun without max speed (100+)
- •Look for elevated terrain, safe zones, or structures immediately
- •Drop ALL memes and run if caught - your life is more valuable
- •Most common in Deep Field area - be prepared
- •If you see red tsunami warning, evacuate Deep Field immediately
- •Use tornado launches to reach safe zones if available
Tornadoes will fling your character but don't always kill you. Can be used strategically for travel.
Survival Strategy
Getting hit flings you but doesn't reset progress or lose memes. Sometimes use tornado force strategically to reach base faster!
Advanced Techniques
- •Being flung doesn't lose your memes - it's actually helpful
- •Can use tornado force to reach base faster in emergencies
- •Hide in ditches or low ground to avoid being caught
- •Disorienting but not always deadly - stay calm
- •Can launch you over obstacles or across large distances
- •Watch the tornado path and time your movement
Ice balls, meteors, and debris falling from the sky. Requires constant movement to avoid direct hits.
Survival Strategy
Keep moving! Don't stand still. Watch the shadows on the ground to predict landing spots before they hit.
Advanced Techniques
- •Watch for shadows indicating impact zones - this is your warning
- •Constant movement is key - never stop running
- •Zig-zag pattern helps avoid consecutive hits
- •Can trap you if running in a straight line
- •Look up periodically to see incoming projectiles
- •Open areas are safer than near structures (less debris)
Massive meme-themed objects falling from the sky. Devastating if hit directly, but easier to predict than meteors.
Survival Strategy
Similar to avalanche - keep moving and watch for shadows. These have larger impact radius but are easier to see coming.
Advanced Techniques
- •Large impact radius - give wide berth
- •Easier to see than small ice balls - use this advantage
- •Can predict trajectory by watching the falling object
- •Clear the landing zone quickly - don't linger
- •Multiple objects may fall in sequence - keep moving
Understanding which disasters you can handle based on your speed level:
Speed 1-25
- ✓ Blue Tsunami
- ✓ Tornado (if careful)
- ✓ Meteor Shower (with movement)
- ✗ Yellow Tsunami
- ✗ Red Tsunami
Speed 25-50
- ✓ Blue Tsunami
- ✓ Yellow Tsunami (with caution)
- ✓ Tornado
- ✓ All falling disasters
- ✗ Red Tsunami
Speed 50+
- ✓ All disasters (except Red)
- ✓ Yellow Tsunami easily
- ✓ Safe Deep Field access
- ⚠ Red Tsunami (need 100+)
The Pre-emptive Evacuation
If you're in Deep Field and see a disaster warning, immediately start running back toward safer zones. Don't wait to see what disaster it is - by then it may be too late.
Meme Drop Timing
Know when to drop memes. If a Red Tsunami is coming and you're overloaded, drop everything. Surviving with no memes is better than dying with legendary ones. You can always collect more.
Terrain Utilization
Learn the map. Know where elevated platforms, safe zones, and hiding spots are located. These can save you when speed alone isn't enough.
Stamina Management
Sprinting drains stamina. During long disasters, pace yourself. You may need that final sprint burst to escape, so don't exhaust yourself early.
