■ How to Participate

There will be numerous Nodes for each Node War. Please note the date of availability of each Node as each Node War will be different.
※ Each Node has 3 different tiers, labeled Tier 1-3. More rewards will be given when winning on a higher tier Node. Please note that a Tier 1 Node is the lowest tier.
e.g) Winning a Node War on a Tier 3 Node will grant more rewards than a Tier 2 Node.

Siege Objectives
|
Holy Artifact | The Holy Artifact positioned in the center of your Guild’s base must be protected at all cost in order to win the Node War. You must destroy any opposing Guild’s Holy Artifact in order to win the Node War. It is important to find the balance between defending your Guild’s Holy Artifact and attacking the opposing Guild’s Holy Artifact to win. If you die during the war, you will be revived near your Holy Artifact. The guild will lose the Node war when the Holy Artifact’s HP reaches 0. |
| Defense Tower | This is a defense tower in a fixed position near the Guild’s Holy Artifact. It will automatically attack any approaching enemies. | |
| Barricade | An obstacle set in place near a Guild’s Holy Artifact that helps keep incoming enemies at bay. Enemies will be able to move in between any destroyed Barricades. |
|
|
Siege Weapons
|
Cannon | Each side will have 3 elephants and 10 cannons. You can ride on cannons to attack the opposing guild. |
| Elephants | Elephants will also attack and can inflict high amounts of damage to Holy Artifacts, gates, and enemies. | |
|
Fire Shot Supply Units |
Fire Shot Supply Units can be summoned one at a time. You can obtain a maximum of 3 Fire Shot at Fire Shot Supply Units near the Holy Artifacts. ※ 3 Fire Shots are available to use within a Node War session. For instance, After 1 Fire Shot is fired, another one can be obtained.
An Adventurer who was given a Fire Shot cannot be inflicted by Normal attack and can use skills such as [Evade], [Run], and [Throw].
Throw the Fire Shot to inflict damage to enemy guild members, siege units and siege weapons.
