New Gameplay – Holy Ground War
Holy Ground War is a new season-based matching and racing PvP gameplay. Both sides will form a team of 12 people. The game will be launched in the new map “Holy Ground War”. The map contains a variety of mechanisms. Both sides will kill and compete for resources to attack the opponent’s crystal. The outcome is decided based on the crystal’s HP.
1. Holy Ground War [Casual Mode] & [Season Mode]
1) Rules of gameplay
* After entering the instance, the team will be randomly assigned to Hawk or Dove.
* Each faction has defense towers, barracks, bases, shops, one offensive route and one defensive route.
* The defensive route has three defense towers, and the offensive route has a siege cart that can cause a lot of damage to buildings. The siege cart requires an ally nearby to move it forward, so the team must cooperate to push the siege cart and break through the opponent’s base to attain victory.
* The defensive route’s breaking order is [Outer Tower] – [Central Tower] – [Inner Tower] – [Base].
2) Map rules
* Base: your own base is the goal when defending. When the base is destroyed, it will be considered as defeat. Adventurers can obtain Base Exp by defeating enemy units. After the base is upgraded, the attributes of minions produced by the barracks will be enhanced
* Barracks: there is a barracks on both the offensive and defensive routes. There will be minions produced every 30 seconds to attack and defend.
* Defense Tower: causes a lot of damage to enemy units, only siege carts can cause obvious damage to them.
* Siege Cart: only when your own units are nearby will it move forward, otherwise it will retreat or go unused. It is invincible.
* Shop: Adventurers can get Gold Coins by defeating enemy units. Tap on the Base or the Shop button near the Base to open the shop and exchange equipment.
* Portal: Adventurers can quickly teleport to the corresponding route by tapping on the portal on the offensive or defensive route; (the offensive route requires destroying the enemy’s Defense Tower to be activated)
* Wild Zone: there are a wide range of wild zones in between offensive and defensive routes. The wild zones will refresh a variety of MVPs with different effects. After a force kills an MVP, the MVP will refresh on the force line to improve the force’s strength.
3) Victory Conditions
* Both sides fight in [Holy Ground War]. When one side breaks down the enemy base, it wins immediately, or the Base and Defense Tower with higher HP after 15 minutes wins.
4) [Season Mode] and [Casual Mode] will provide additional attribute bonuses.
* Provides the [Adventure Handbook], [Aeisr Monument] and [Guild Blessing] attribute bonus.
* Provides a 15 attribute bonus to the equipment worn by the Adventurer in instances.
2. How to Participate
1) Added [Holy Ground War] entrance in season mode and casual mode. After a team of 12 people that have reached Lv.100 is formed, the captain can undergo matching. When the team doesn’t have enough members, the system will randomly match other players to form a team of 12 people.
2) The season mode will start from December 19th, 2020 to January 2nd, 2021, lasting 3 weeks in total. The matches start from 18:00 to 20:00 on Saturday.

========Game Optimizations=======

* The extraction attributes of the perfusion equipment cannot coexist with the equipped equipment before the perfusion, and the extraction attributes will be deactivated when there is a conflict.
