Start with ordinary rounds
Normal rounds are the sensible starting point for learning movement, earning coins, and building the survival badge ladder. If a squad cannot consistently finish a normal round, adding a harder condition may make the session less productive.
This recommendation is a guide’s opinion, not an official AZOT tier list. It prioritizes repeatable learning and progression over rarity or spectacle.
Take named events when prepared
The reviewed site describes Death and KEEP IT CLEAN as tougher survival clears with dedicated badges. Divine Instincts is described as a denser, harder challenge. Read the current banner and badge text; details may change.
Juggernaut is a different objective because the badge route is tied to winning as that role. Small lobbies may be easier to coordinate according to community reports, but no selection odds are verified here.
Treat Dog Day as an added risk
Dog Day is described as a vote modifier that adds extra dogs. It may be a poor choice for a new team or for a Juggernaut attempt. It is not listed as its own badge in the audited material.
A difficult round is not necessarily the best use of a session. Match the vote to the badge or learning goal your group actually has.
