The following are strategies for the Shadow Plague plague type. Please read the Wiki Rules, before adding a strategy, tips and Q&A here. If you aren't quick enough to devolve a mutation before it's spotted, then pause the game time, then devolve the mutation. If you want to write new strategies, please use this page.

Strategy 9 (Mega Brutal with Shadow Blessing)
Author: Bihapove
improved from a strategy (currently deleted) by jinbeili
This strategy is really fun compared to the traditional "Stall for 300 DNA and then click upgrades until win" strategy.
Very sadly, the game's score mechanic favours the Stall strategy. This one is as stable as the slow strategy but it only gets you a 4 Biohazards rating.
Genetic Code
Gameplay
Difficulty: Mega Brutal
Stage 1: Undiscovered
- Start in Turkey. Evolve Shadow Blessing, Blood Gift, Dark Cloud, Shadow Trail, Nocturnal.
- Evolve Lair. Build a lair in Turkey.
- Evolve Therianthropy. Immediately fly to Saudi Arabia, then Central Africa, West Africa, Brazil.
- Evolve Blood Rage and start a Blood Rage in Brazil for a few DNA points. Fly to Columbia immediately once you received the 3 points.
- Fly to Caribbean, then USA. Evolve Travel Speed 1. Start a Blood Rage in USA and build a lair.
- Evolve Anaemia, Pallor and Weeping Sores.
- Evolve Shadow Portal and teleport to Turkey ASAP. Then fly to Iran, India and Indonesia. Evolve Hyperdontia during this.
- Start a Blood Rage in Indonesia and build a lair.
- Evolve Jugular Bite. Fly to Australia, New Zealand, New Guinea and Philippines.
- Fly to China and start a Blood Rage. Evolve Corrupted Air, Dark Ritual 1 and Vampiric Awakening.
- After a short while, teleport to Turkey and start infecting European countries. Then infect Canada too.
Stage 2: The War
- When the first Templar news pops up, or when you're placed on the Watch List, evolve Shadow Slaves immediately.
- Evolve Muscular Hypotrophy and Masticatory Tension. Meanwhile, evolve Travel Speed 2 when any Labs/Bases are built.
- Destroy any Lab immediately. Then focus on Templar Bases. Use your shadow portals to call multiple vampires to focus on one base.
- Meanwhile, evolve Adrenal Surge, Dark Infiltration, Dark Ritual 2 and Shadow Blades. Whenever Vampiric Awakening is ready (after you've evolved Dark Ritual 2), evolve it again.
- Evolve Anti-biotic Tolerance and Heat Tolerance. If cure is high, evolve anti-cure symptoms too: Malignant Pigmentation, Latent Adaptation.
Stage 3: Cleanup
- Once all Templar forces have been destroyed, attack any country with a high cure contribution or low infected rate, while continuing to evolve Vampiric Awakening. Invest remaining DNA point into Transmissions (depending on your infection) or Cure-impeding symptoms. Be fast and repeat this until win.
- Usual score on Mega Brutal: ~550 days, 3 or 4 Biohazards. Success Rate: >90%
Stradegy 10
Note: This is a modified version of DiseaseMaster7's stradegy, but just way faster.
Genetic Code
- Mad Scientist (So you don't have to worry about the bubbles and can control your vampire more freely)
- Harvester (More DNA is always good)
- Fair Weather Bat (So your vampire can move very quickly as long as you keep your health topped off)
- Teracyte (Countries closes their ports and airports very quickly after the disease is spotted)
- Extremophile (You know why)
Difficaulty
Mega-Brutal
Calm Before The Storm
- Start in Greenland, get Blood Rage and Adrenal Surge then start eating away.
- Make sure to get Therianthropy before you devour Greenland or else you have just starved yourself to death.
- If somehow affordable, get Dark Infiltration then move to Iceland after bigger Denmark is gone, otherwise; get Dark Infiltration during the killing of Iceland.
War Is Declared
- You should be spotted at this point while devouring Iceland. Ignore for now.
- Once Templars set up, move to the closest Templar base and destory them. You should focus on getting both Travel Speed upgrades at this point.
- Make sure you get Shadow Blades, as you can at most destory one base without too much risk with only 2 upgrades.
- Once 2-3 bases have been destoryed, assuming you have already gotten the Dark Rituals at this point, eat a nearby country until you get enough for Demonic Fury.
- Go after the remaining bases.
War Victory
- Now that you have destoryed the Templars, you can eat as you please. Go to India and feast on them.
- Make sure you evolved Lair, Shadow Portal and .
- Build a base in: Canada, UK, Australia and Central Africa (You can build one more in a hot or cold country if you want), this is to ensure you get the maximum effectiveness out of the Tolerance traits.
- Get until 400 DNA by countine to eat away at the Indian subcontinent then you must evolve the following:
The World Is Yours
- After evolving Shadow Blessing, you must then get All Region Tolerances and then Blood Gift to Dark Cloud.
- After that, then evolve: Nocturnal, Anaemia, Pallor, Weeping Sores, Hyperdontia, Jugular Bite and Shadow Slaves. If you can, get Muscular Hypotrophy and Masticatory Tension to boost infectivity and Blood Sacrifice 1 and 2 to boost DNA count.
- Go from Dark Pustules to Latent Adaptation if you are worried about the cure going to fast for your likings.
- If you like, evolve Air 1 and 2, Water 1 and 2 and Extreme Bioaerosol to boost transmissions, though be aware that countries tend to close their transmissions very soon after the plague is spotted.
- Then, it is your job to spread the plague with your vampire and destory all WHO labatories as soon as they appear.
- Get Zoonotic Shift and Bat 1, 2 and 3 to boost land infectivity when all countires lockdown.
- Keep moving your vampire to uninfected/barely infectec countries to turn them to yourside.
- Congratulations, you are now the dark lord of a new and permanently Dark Ages.
