Official Message

  • The new “Area of Conquest” cross-server PvP event kicks off this Friday — for 7 days, all Guilds will storm the action-packed battlefield! Groups of 4 Guilds from different servers will explore the event map, fight for resources, capture settlements, and compete with each other, using their heroes at their current power!
  • The main goal of the event is to earn as many Superior Coins as possible by completing quests, capturing settlements, and winning battles. Use them to level up your event Guild Castle — the higher your Guild Castle level is, the better rewards you and your guild members will receive for each level!  
  • The “Area of Conquest” event combines features of several popular modes, combining the Guild War strategy and depth with the Season Maps feel of discovery while adding shared Guild progression, Guild ranking rewards, and much more!

Map Guide

  • Each guild starts in one of the four corners.
  • Opposing guilds can be located by hovering over the castle icons or expanding the rank display.
  • The map layout remains consistent across events and is not randomized.
  • Foggy areas on the map obscure the locations of rocks and villages, but not treasure chests.
  • Movement is individual-based.
  • Movement has a limit of 12 units, and using a speed booster doubles healing speed for one hour.
  • Defending a settlement yields Superior Coins based on the duration of defense.
  • Attacking and defeating an occupied settlement allows its capture.
  • Pausing at a treasure chest instantly grants 50 Superior Coins to all guild members; chests disappear once looted.
  • Heroes’ health lost in battle regenerates over time or with Health potions or by adjacent tiles in the castle.
  • This is not a castle defense game. If a player loses the battle, he/she is sent to a tile adjacent to the castle and the game restarts.
  • The same team is used for both offense and defense and cannot be freely changed. It can only be changed on the tile adjacent to the castle.

PLAY

  • Arrange your team in the square adjacent to the castle and commence the battle.
  • Focus on securing settlements and capturing treasure chests.
  • If you cannot log in frequently, occupy settlements near your castle and wait.
  • When you are able to log in, target high-reward settlements in the central zone. If the settlement you’re occupying is under threat, standby in an adjacent square.
  • The defender’s team composition is only visible to attackers adjacent to the defender. Sharing information within the guild helps members form effective lineups.
  • If defeated, recover Health at the adjacent castle square and regroup. Adjust your team composition as needed.
  • Rank rewards are significant, but coins bought with emeralds don’t count. Coins purchased in event bundles could be added to the ranking.

Team Composition

  • Once deployed, maintain separate offensive and defensive teams. Gauges and Health statuses carry over; Health replenishes over time and with items.
  • Including a control element is standard; Khorus is user-friendly as a Team pet.
  • Achieving a successful attack or defense shifts the gauge, giving an advantage. Heroes like Amira excel when their gauge is charged.

Teams that were popular in the 1st event

  • Rufus is effective due to his strength against opponents lacking countermeasures.
  • Monitor trends and adapt countermeasures; for instance, use Morrigan or Jet against Rufus users, or Phobos or Jorgen against Khorus users.
First time killer. Somewhat fragile once the opponent gets used to it.
Standard template. Does not work against strong opponents.

Butterfly Formation

  • A formation where control is centered around the middle of the map.
  • While it’s difficult to maintain continuously, it can be executed briefly with good coordination.
  • Though this setup offers no direct in-game advantage, it serves as a motivational milestone for the guild and helps boost overall morale.

Received Ranking Rewards

  • Received via in-game Mail after the event.
  • In-game mail is a type of mail that has no expiration date.
  • Unlike individual rewards, there is a delay before you receive them.

Score Guide

Settlements

  • Occupying settlements automatically generates points every minute.
  • Points accumulate even while you’re logged out.
  • Each settlement grants a fixed number of points per minute, ranging from 1 to 24 depending on its type.

2 pt8120 pt2,880 pt
1 pt1260 pt1,440 pt
Total:357,920 pt190,080 pt

Combat

  • Winning battles grants points based on the damage dealt.
  • Defeating an undamaged opponent awards 200 points.
  • Defeating a previously damaged opponent grants 1–199 points, depending on their remaining Health at the time of defeat.
  • Points are earned for both offensive and defensive victories.

Treasure Chests

  • When a treasure chest appears on the map, stepping onto its tile claims it.
  • Each chest grants 100 points to all guild members.
  • However, the ranking score only counts 100 points total per chest—not multiplied by the number of members.

Ranking Score Calculation

  • Points from settlements, combat, and treasure chests all contribute to your guild’s ranking.
  • Spending coins or emeralds on castle upgrades does not affect your ranking score.

After Event

As usual, your unused resources (but not your Action Points) will be exchanged for Hero Upgrade Chests shortly after the event ends.

    Foggy areas on the map obscure the locations of rocks and villages, but not treasure chests.

    This is flipped, its the other way round

    I found another formula for exchange the leftover coins after the event. It seems to be closer to the actual award I get: 1000 Superior Coins / 4 Speed Boosters / 1 Health Potion = 2 Hero Upgrade Chests.
