Survival Mode provides a very small amount of XP per win, so it is not a recommended method of leveling up.

Every round must be played right after the previous, and players cannot switch equipment between rounds. Each round has a fixed reward of its own and when the player fails to survive a round, the reward of the last round passed is given, plus the fight bonuses. The player has to survive all 10 or 6 rounds in order to score a win and get the full reward including the fight bonuses failing at any round is considered a loss. With the exception of the enemies at Incubator survival, no opponent appears more than once per battle. In each round, the player faces Ninja from the current and the preceding act ( Looters and Incubator Soldiers in Act VII), equipped with various weapons. Survival has a different playstyle from other modes: It comprises ten consecutive rounds in the first six Acts and six rounds in the Interlude and after. It is introduced in Act I after completing stage 6 of the Tournament, and is available for play in other acts right from the start. Survival is one of the main modes of play in Shadow Fight 2.
