ApexTown Alliance Guide

Save your health speed ups for this event
This is the only time you need them. You should be batch healing at all other times. Batch healing does not work during Foundry.

You get a free teleport that recharges over time
You will need to teleport to the building you've been assigned and may need to use it to change locations frequently. If you need to teleport before the free one has recharged you can use teleports from your bag or gems.

There will be a new chat tab that opens up called "Squad"
This tab is where you will communicate with just the team mates in the foundry battle. Make sure to use it.
The R4 in charge will use it to tell you where you are needed.
Make sure to keep talking about what is happening with where you are. Do you need help? Are two of you guarding a building that isn't being attacked so someone can move elsewhere? Shout it out!

Be VERY mindful of bonus point oppertunities or for losing them
Bonus points are explained below and are extremely important. Prioritise looting any that you see get spilled as these can turn the tide of a battle in seconds.

Prototype Sites
These can generate a lot of points fast and are important early on

Munitions Warehouse
This increases the combat stats of the team that control it.

Boiler Room
Reduces the amount of time it takes for a team to control buildings.

Central Transit Station
Reduces the time to recover the free teleport.

Mercenary Camp
Allows the controller to periodically dispatch a band of mercenaries to attack the nearest enemy controlled building.

Imperial Foundry
This castle building in the middle of the map will be a high focus as it generates a lot of points.

Bonus Points
Controlling a building generates points. After a certain point half of these are "bonus points". They will show as a bubble above a building. If that building is taken by the opposing team the bonus points will scatter. Priorities looting these points.

Workshops will spawn at a certain point which you can use as gathering sites
These are of secondary priority only if the building you are controlling is not under attack.

Mostly Solo Attacks
Perhaps the only time you will hear R4 or R5 say this but Foundry battles are almost entirely solo battles. We don't have time to wait for rallies so two people chaining attacks one after the other is more effective.
ONLY rally if explicitly told to do so by an R4.

Low Level Players
If you are a low level compared to the rest of the field concentrate on teleporting around the map for lootbale bonus points and use the gathering points when they open.

Preperation Phase
When the event starts there will be three minutes before fighting can start.
The R4 will post labels in the squad chat assigning people to certain buidlings so check those labels. If you are not assigned a building you will be supporting whoever is being attacked and needs help so pair up with someone for the first fight prioritising the buildings above.

Attack your assigned building. If you didnt get one assigned then support other players and keep an eye on the chat for calls for help

When the middle buildings open up the strongest player or players will be asked to take the castle/foundry in the centre. They will usually be warned who this will be during the preperation phase. The munitions and mercenary buildings will open at this time as well.

Keep an eye on those bonus points. If you are at a building where the points are getting high make sure you shout for help if you may be attacked. Keep the R4 informed of high score ubildings so they know who to prioritise when reinforcing.
If your building is taken then prioritise gathering the dropped loot before counter attacking.

If you are looking for targets to attack look for enemy buildings with high bonuses. Loot as quickly as possible if you are successful.

In the last 5 minutes if we are winning and you aren't protecting a building, look for instructions. You will either be asked to reinforce the central building or another high value asset. Keep an eye on chat as you may be asked to abandon a building you do have in favour of the central building. If you have less than 1000 bonus points available then prioritise protecting buildings with higher bonuses accumulated from last minute attacks if you need to.

If we are losing you may be asked to abandon low scoring buildings to attack enemies with high bonus points. If we do not already control the castle then we may have an all hands on deck attack where everybody attacks the casle as this will yield a massive points swing if we are successful.
