Summary
The Zombie Leveling System is a small system for normal zombies.
They do not save each round, but they do carry over in each wave of Arena. Each time you get killed as any mob or use Claw to damage a survivor, you earn experience to level up further. Levelling up earns you 3 Skill Points.
Skill Points are used to improve your statistics. When you press the "+" button right by each statistical element of your normal zombie, you use up one skill point. Skill points build up if you level up and do not use them, so you can choose when to use them if you wish.
Health
125 Base HP (+10 HP for every skill point)
Damage
10 Base Damage (+1 Damage for every skill point)
Speed
19 Base Walkspeed (+1 Walkspeed for every skill point)
