Stages of Battle
-
Preperation Phase - 3 mins
When the event starts there will be three minutes for planning where no actions can be taken. This will give us time to form a plan.
-
Stage 1 - 17 mins
Take control of as many neutral buildings as possible and push back the enemy.
-
Stage 2 - Fortress Battles - 20 mins
After 20 minutes fortresses will open up. These are key strategic choke points that are vital to control.
-
Stage 3 - Frozen Citadel - 20 mins
After 40 minutes the Frozen Citadel will be opened. This building provides a large amount of points and can turn the tide of battle.
Tips & Strategy
- Pay attention to the chat to understand the overall strategy and communicate with your team. Management of fuel is essential for victory
- If fuel is running low play defensive. Holding a choke point while regenerating fuel is invaluable
- Only push forward if you are both confident you can do so and fuel reserves are high. Make sure you communicate with your team so we can support each other.
- Activate buffs! Activate any buffs you have at the start of the battle. This includes pet buffs and those that you have stored in your back pack.
Marching speed and deplyoment buffs do not work so save these for another event - R4's will appoint "Guardians" who will have a boost to their fuel recovery rate. These will likely be the stronger players.
