Gameplay Mechanics:

The event starts with helpful tutorials. Here's the gist:

Before each wargame, select Combat Units and Stratagems (buffs). Units have various types (AoE, Flying, Ranged, Melee) with strengths and weaknesses (e.g., Melee counters Ranged).

Analyze your opponent's lineup and adjust yours using the bottom-right effectiveness indicators. Remember, changing your lineup costs Reinforcement Points – use them strategically.

Unit types explained:

  • Melee: High damage absorption, slow speed.
  • Ranged: Long-range attacks, low health.
  • AoE DMG: Damages multiple units.
  • Flying: Immune to ground attacks.

Level up units by re-selecting them for subsequent rounds. Refresh units and stratagems for better options. Elemental Reactions are in play, so plan your strategies accordingly.

Even losses earn Wargame Medals, redeemable for rewards. Winning earns more medals, but participation guarantees rewards, even at a slower pace.
