Tactics for Your Role

🩸 Burst DPS

Target low-HP enemies and high-rank players for maximum Eclipse Points. Stay mobile between objectives.

🛡️ Tank

Hold objectives. Iron Hide or Blood Shield uptime critical. Call for backup when defending.

✨ Control/Support

Debuff enemy cores during objective captures. Your Crimson Aura / Alpha Roar are game-changers.

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
