Duck Survival Mobile Controls

Touch controls for Duck Survival on iOS and Android: movement, building, battle start, skill picks, and menu navigation during day-night phases.

Day phase controls

Tap the ground to move your duck to highlighted build circles. Tap Build on a valid circle to place structures. Menus pause time — use this to plan before starting night battle.

Pinch zoom if supported on your device for large maps. Mis-taps during day phase waste gold on wrong slots.

Night phase controls

Tap Battle when ready to start the wave timer. During combat, movement helps dodge telegraphed hits while auto-fire and towers handle most DPS. Roguelike skill cards appear between waves — tap one choice quickly before the next rush.

Skill pick timing is covered in the best skills guide.

Menus and codes

Profile top-left opens settings and Giftcode redemption per the redeem page. Bottom navigation switches campaign, heroes, shop, guild, and events.

For keyboard play see PC and emulator controls and emulator setup.
