Featured Updates - Battlefield of the Sun: Forgotten Ruins


Developer Commentary:

"As the long-lasting war between Valencia and Calpheon dragged on, the fierce combat saw a momentary standstill. However, Calpheon soon found an opportunity to seize the high ground in the war.

The ruins, which no one has paid attention to so far, was found to be a strategic point that can attack the rear of Valencia. The Holy Artifact was placed here in order to gather strength for an attack.

Yet Valencia has long dealt with conflict with Calpheon, and they also saw these events coming, and set up a new defense line by placing the Holy Artifact at the crossroads leading to the ruins.

The ruins, long-since forgotten by people and did naught but catch dust in the wind, have now become a new battlefield where two factions assault each other for their respective Holy Artifacts, earning its place in the annals of history."

Battlefield of the Sun: Forgotten Ruins is meant to feel like a Node War. While it's the same in that you belong to a faction and engage in combat, it proceeds differently from the traditional battlefield where you simply have to kill the Supreme Commander.

In the Crimson Wind and Sandstorm Assault, you've already encountered Cannons, Elephants, and Hwacha. Here you must also utilize the topography, such as bushes, and powerful Elite Cannons to destroy the Holy Artifact of the opposing faction.

While Node War is the motif, you can experience faster-paced combat, and make strategic use of elements like Cannons and Elephants to quickly achieve victory. Conversely, the Holy Artifact may crumble under the opponent's attack, so we anticipate that you will find new factors to consider and strategies to enjoy.

Additionally, you can utilize the ping feature to quickly indicate the location for artillery support. An adventurer in direct combat with the opposing faction can utilize this feature so that even adventurers with low CP have ample opportunity to shine from the castle on the hill, supporting the combat with Hwachas and Cannons.

You can further ride an elephant and bypass the crossroads where intense combat is taking place, and make a significant contribution by moving to the opposing faction and destroying the Holy Artifact.

However, in the fast-paced battlefield where factions move tightly in combat, there may be some difficulties in communication when participating as an individual. Therefore, we aim to improve this by adding a hotkey feature for messaging in the future.

In this battlefield where both factions pour all their power into destroying the Holy Artifact, we encourage you to join in and experience the glory of victory firsthand.
