If you’ve been grinding Roblox and playing Survive Zombie Arena, you’ve definitely heard people say one thing over and over: “Just get Bastion.”
But 200,000 credits isn’t cheap. So before you commit, let’s actually break down how Bastion works, what each ability does, and whether it’s really worth it.
Survive Zombie Arena Bastion Class Guide
Bastion is a defensive summoner-style class that relies on:
- Structures (bunker + turrets)
- AI support (drones)
- Safe positioning
Instead of running around and shooting everything yourself, you basically build a setup and let it do the work.
Bastion Abilities Explained (Clear and Simple)
Bunker
The bunker is a placeable shelter that makes you invulnerable while inside, heals your HP, and boosts your overall damage, making it the core survival tool of the class.
Laser Turret
The laser turret automatically targets zombies and deals fast, consistent ranged damage, acting as your main source of sustained DPS.
Drone
The drone follows you around and attacks zombies automatically while also absorbing some damage, giving you both offense and protection at the same time.
What Makes Bastion So Strong
Once you start combining all abilities, things get a bit ridiculous.
- You can spawn multiple drones (up to 5)
- You can place many laser turrets (no strict cap, just cost scaling)
- You can place multiple bunkers
What this means:
You set up:
- Turrets → deal damage
- Drones → support + tank
- Bunker → keeps you safe
And then… you just sit there.
The “AFK Farming” Effect
This is why Bastion feels broken.
Once your setup is ready:
- Zombies get shredded automatically
- You barely need to move
- You can survive waves without actively fighting
You’re basically turning the game into:
Tower defense + idle gameplay
Hidden Mechanic Most Players Miss
When you’re inside the bunker:
- You get a damage boost (around +10%)
That means:
- Your turrets deal more damage
- Your drones become stronger
So the optimal way to play is:
- Build your setup
- Stay inside the bunker
- Let everything scale from there
Limits and Weaknesses
Even though Bastion is extremely strong, it’s not invincible.
- Drones can take damage
- Turrets can be destroyed
- Bunkers can break under pressure
- Late waves (40–50+) can overwhelm your setup
Also:
- Turrets get more expensive each time you place them
- Poor placement = faster collapse
Best Way to Use Bastion
If you want to push high waves:
- Stack drones early
- Build turrets in layers (not randomly)
- Place bunkers strategically (not all in one spot)
- Stay inside bunker for damage boost
Pro tip:
Place bunkers slightly in front to protect your turrets instead of stacking everything in one place.
Bastion vs Necromancer
- Necromancer → better for active play and summoning chaos
- Bastion → better for control, survival, and consistency
Right now, Bastion feels stronger because:
- It’s safer
- Easier to use
- More reliable at high waves
Bastion isn’t just good, it changes how the game feels.
Instead of:
- Running
- Dodging
- Constant shooting
You’re:
- Building
- Positioning
- Controlling the battlefield
And once everything is set up, you’re basically watching zombies walk into their own destruction.
