- When the Reclaim Period ends, the fort can be occupied again. The Occupation Timer shows how long it took to destroy and occupy the fort.
※ Example: If the Eastern Fort is occupied 9 min 50 sec after Fortress Battle begins, the Occupation Timer displays 9:50.

ㆍAfter the Reclaim Period ends, another guild can attempt to occupy the fort before the time shown on the Occupation Timer runs out.

ㆍThe Occupation Timer for a released Fort counts down from the time it took to most recently occupy that Fort.
※ Example: If the guild that most recently occupied the fort took 10 min to do so, the Occupation Timer starts at 10 min.
