— In-game description

Survival (Russian: Выживание; Ukrainian: Виживання) is a skill in ATOM RPG.

Description

Survival's primary use is in controlling travel speed on the world map, and controls the chance of escaping all hostile random encounters. Certain unique random encounters require a minimum amount of Survival to be encountered, most notably recruiting Dzhulbars (Survival 35 required).

Survival also increases the amount of health healed by food, and may impact the success rate of fishing.
