# Commanders

### 🪖 Commander Leveling and Progression

Upon registration on the official website, each player receives a **Common Base Commander NFT** (Level 1). Commanders gain experience by participating in **Campaign**, **Endless**, and **PvP battles** - *regardless of victory or defeat*. Commander leveling is unlimited.

With each new level, players receive **4 upgrade points** that can be allocated to the following attributes:

* 💰 **+% Gold reward** (applied after battle)
* 🪖 **+% Commander experience gain**
* ⚔️ **+% Attack power of all Turrets**
* 📈 **+% Token staking rewards** (on zombietd.app)

By distributing upgrade points, players define their own **Commander development path** - making gameplay more *strategic*, *varied*, and *personalized*.

Upgrade points can be **reset for ZTD tokens** and reallocated at any time.

### 🧠 Commander Types

In addition to the **Base Commander** (available only in the Common rarity), there are **5 specialized NFT Commanders**, each available in **5 rarities**.

🎯 Every Commander grants a *small global buff* to all Turrets, while a **Specialized Commander** adds a *powerful extra boost* to its own Turret type - amplifying **attack power**, **damage radius**, and **ability effects**.

### 🪖 Commander List

* **Base Commander** - free, Common-rarity commander that provides a *small additional damage bonus* to all turret types; no specialized turret bonus
* **Machine Gunner** - Boosts damage, attack radius, and fire rate of the **Machine Gun Turret**
* **Rocketeer** - Increases damage, radius, and AoE impact of the **Rocket Turret**
* **Laser-Lass** - Increases damage, damage radius, and accelerates damage scaling of the **Laser Turret**
* **Electromagnet** - Increases damage and radius, enhances the slow effect of the **Electromagnetic Turret**
* **Artilleryman** - Increases damage, radius, and stun duration of the **Artillery Turret**
