DETAILED GUIDE

How it works

Headline

Week 5 is where Season 1 becomes a warzone event rather than an alliance event. Personal progression still matters, but the major outcome is determined by coordinated server-level execution.

Maintained-current timing

  • Quarterfinal: Week 5 Saturday / Season Day 34.

Player priorities

  • Know whether the warzone is attacker or defender.
  • Save meaningful combat readiness for the Saturday battle.
  • Follow rally, garrison and objective assignments instead of chasing random PvP.
  • Keep VRI / Profession / main Military Base progression moving, but do not spend temporary resources only to inflate displayed account power.

Leadership priorities

  • Opponent scouting.
  • Server-wide command structure.
  • Capitol/objective role assignment.
  • Rally and garrison leads.
  • Attendance planning.
  • Clear communication between major alliances.

Core lesson

Random base kills are secondary if they do not help the Capitol objective.

Common mistakes

  • Treating Octagon as the top alliance's private event.
  • Failing to publish the plan before Saturday.
  • Overcommitting to random PvP instead of the objective.
  • Entering the battle with no server-wide chain of command.
