Optimal Participation Schedule

Phase 1 (Hours 0-8) — Territory Rush

  • Focus: Capture all 6 objectives before the enemy faction does.
  • Composition: Use mobile squads of 5 — one tank plus four DPS.
  • Priority: Take the Eastern and Western objectives first. They are worth more points.

Phase 2 (Hours 8-16) — Holding + Quests

  • Focus: Defend the objectives you hold, and run Eclipse quests.
  • Composition: Split into 3-person defense teams, plus separate quest runners.
  • Priority: Never skip quests. Each one gives a flat 500 points.

Phase 3 (Hours 16-24) — Boss Rush + Final Push

  • Focus: Kill all 5 Ancient Bosses, then move into the final combat phase.
  • Composition: Bring full 20-player raids for the bosses.
  • Priority: In the last 2 hours, all kills score double points.

Clan Strategy

  • 🗺️ Territory assignment — each clan takes responsibility for specific objectives.

  • 🏆 Clan Eclipse Points — the top 10 clans get bonus exclusive skins.
  • 📊 Real-time leaderboard — check your position every 2 hours.

Tactics for Your Role

🩸 Burst DPS

Target low-HP enemies and high-rank players. They give the most Eclipse Points. Stay mobile and move between objectives.

🛡️ Tank

Your job is to hold objectives. Keep Iron Hide or Blood Shield active as much as possible. Call for backup when you're defending.

✨ Control/Support

Debuff enemy cores during objective captures. Crimson Aura and Alpha Roar are your game-changers here.

Common Mistakes

  • Going solo — Eclipse War rewards groups; solo ops get overwhelmed
  • Ignoring quests — 500 points each is huge cumulative
  • Over-focusing PvP — objective holding earns more than kills
  • Logging off for 12+ hours — you lose the 4-hour bonus
  • Skipping pre-war buffs — consumables from alchemy help a lot
