Eclipse War Strategy Guide
The Eclipse War is the flagship faction event of Vampires vs. Werewolves — a server-wide clash where every Vampire and every Werewolf fights toward a single shared victory. When the eclipse falls, individual skill matters less than whether your entire faction pulls in the same direction. This guide shows you how faction-wide objectives work, how the participation multiplier turns your effort into rewards, how to climb every reward tier, and how to coordinate across dozens of clans at once.
Fast summary: The Eclipse War is faction versus faction, not clan versus clan. Complete daily participation objectives to raise your personal multiplier toward the 3.0× cap, feed points into your faction's shared war bar, and unlock reward tiers that pay the whole faction. Log in every day of the event, coordinate objective focus across clans, and never skip the final Eclipse Peak — that is where the top tiers are decided.
How the Eclipse War Works
Where Clan War pits two clans against each other, the Eclipse War pits the whole Vampire faction against the whole Werewolf faction over a multi-day event. Every objective you complete adds points to your faction's shared war bar. When the event ends, the faction with the higher bar wins the war and its members receive the winning-side bonus on top of whatever reward tier they individually reached. Read the mechanics in full on the Eclipse War wiki guide, and see how it fits the broader race war.
Step by Step: Maximizing Your Eclipse War
- Log in on day one and claim the objective board. The board resets daily. Missing a day means missing that day's multiplier growth, which compounds — early days matter most.
- Raise your participation multiplier first. Complete the daily participation objectives before chasing big point plays. Your multiplier scales every point you earn afterward, up to the 3.0× cap.
- Feed the shared faction bar. Every completed objective and won skirmish adds to your faction's total. Even small contributions count — a faction wins on breadth of participation, not a handful of top players.
- Coordinate objective focus across clans. Use the faction channel to assign which clans hit which objectives. Ten clans each doing a different objective clears the board faster than all of them stacking one.
- Stack Eclipse War with Clan War windows. Schedule your Clan War battles during Eclipse War to earn double season progress from a single fight.
- Push hard during the Eclipse Peak. The final phase doubles all point income. This is when reward tiers are decided — clear your remaining objectives and rally every online member.
- Claim your reward tier before the event closes. Rewards must be collected from the event board before reset. Check your tier, claim it, and confirm the winning-side bonus applied.
The Participation Multiplier
Your participation multiplier is the single most important number in the Eclipse War. It starts at 1.0× and grows as you complete daily participation objectives — logging in, fighting a skirmish, capturing an objective, and supporting allies. Because the multiplier applies to every point you earn afterward, a player at 3.0× who plays half as long can still out-score a player at 1.0× who grinds all day. Prioritize raising the multiplier early, then convert it into raw points during the Eclipse Peak.
Eclipse War Reward-Tier Table
Reward tiers are personal — each is unlocked by your own multiplied contribution — while the winning-side bonus applies to everyone in the victorious faction on top of their tier.
| Tier | Contribution needed | Core reward | Winning-side bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ember | 1,000 | Eclipse cache (common gear + gold) | +25% gold |
| Umbra | 3,500 | Rare gear token + crafting mats | +25% gold, +1 token |
| Penumbra | 8,000 | Epic gear choice chest | +1 epic reroll |
| Totality | 18,000 | Legendary shard ×3 + Eclipse mount skin | +2 legendary shards |
| Corona | 35,000 | Full legendary item + exclusive Eclipse title | Animated title border |
Eclipse War Timeline
- Day 1 — First Shadow. Objective board opens. Grind your participation multiplier while point values are standard.
- Days 2–4 — Waxing Dark. Faction bars diverge. Coordinate clan objective focus and keep your multiplier at cap.
- Day 5 — Eclipse Peak. All point income doubles for the final phase. Rally every member; this is where tiers are won.
- Post-event — Aftermath. Winning faction is declared, the winning-side bonus applies, and rewards must be claimed from the board before it closes.
Faction-Wide Coordination
No single clan wins an Eclipse War alone. Faction leaders should use a shared channel to divide the objective board across clans, broadcast the Eclipse Peak call, and remind everyone to claim rewards before the deadline. The faction that treats the event as one team — rather than dozens of clans racing separately — is the one that lifts its shared war bar highest. Study past outcomes in the faction war history to see how coordinated factions consistently beat larger but disorganized ones.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Eclipse War?
The Eclipse War is a multi-day, server-wide event where the entire Vampire faction fights the entire Werewolf faction toward a single shared victory. Every objective you complete feeds your faction's war bar, and the higher bar at the end wins.
How does the participation multiplier work?
Your multiplier starts at 1.0× and grows as you complete daily participation objectives, up to a 3.0× cap. It applies to every point you earn afterward, so raising it early dramatically increases your total contribution.
What are the Eclipse War reward tiers?
There are five personal tiers — Ember, Umbra, Penumbra, Totality, and Corona — each unlocked by your multiplied contribution points. Members of the winning faction also receive a winning-side bonus on top of their tier reward.
How do I reach the top Corona tier?
Corona requires 35,000 contribution points. The realistic path is capping your participation multiplier at 3.0× early, then converting it into points during the Eclipse Peak when all income doubles.
Do I need to win the war to get rewards?
No. Your reward tier is based on your personal contribution regardless of which faction wins. Winning only adds the extra winning-side bonus on top of the tier you already earned.
How is the Eclipse War different from Clan War?
Clan War is one clan against another over a 90-minute match. The Eclipse War is the whole Vampire faction against the whole Werewolf faction over several days, decided by total participation rather than a single battle.
Can I stack Eclipse War with Clan War?
Yes, and you should. Scheduling your Clan War battles during an active Eclipse War lets one fight count toward both, doubling your season progress.
When should my faction push hardest?
During the Eclipse Peak on the final day, when all point income doubles. Rally every online member, clear remaining objectives, and secure your reward tiers before the event closes.
How do factions coordinate across many clans?
Faction leaders use a shared channel to divide the objective board among clans so different groups clear different objectives simultaneously. This breadth of participation is what lifts the faction's shared war bar highest.
Do I have to claim my rewards manually?
Yes. Rewards must be collected from the event board before it resets after the war. Check your final tier, claim the reward, and confirm the winning-side bonus applied if your faction won.
