Multi-Event Weeks

Assault first began as a solo event, happening Monday through Wednesday in between major, week-long events. The reforged Assault coming this week will move to the week-long cadence, beginning on Wednesday and ending on the following Monday. But that’s not all!

You might be thinking, “Two PvP events in a row? Are you crazy?!” This week not only announces to revival of the Assault event, but also introduces the concept of Multi-Event Weeks.

Multi-Event Weeks will be weeks throughout War Dragons where more than one event is run simultaneously with other events. In the expected event pattern, Breeding would be coming this week instead of a PvP event...and it is! Breeding and Assault will occur simultaneously from Wednesday to Monday. This also means that some changes will take place to how these events interact with one another, and as a solo feature. One of these changes will be to Team Quests, as they will be unavailable during Multi-Event Weeks.

Assault will be a solo event, just like its predecessor, and will not include team prizes or progression points. Instead, team prizes and progression points will appear in the Breeding event (as normal), and Assault adds an extra layer of fun during this relatively low-action week. Once you’ve finished up those breeding tokens and have your favorite new Dragons cooking in the incubator, there isn’t much else to do during a Breeding event. Assault will give players the ability to earn points and other benefits while Breeding takes a back seat.

For this first run of the event, the energy cost will be 2 energy per run.

The Bases in Assault

The Assault event will consist of 84 bases, with 6 bases dedicated to each tier. Just like Temple Raid, players must fly a Dragon of the same Tier to attack a given base. For example: Blue Tier Dragons can fly against Blue Tier Bases, but Orange Tier Dragons are not eligible. For an added challenge, Dragons from one Tier below are eligible to fly against the Tier above for added points. In this example, a Purple Tier Dragon would be able to fly against the Blue Tier Base. If the base is successfully destroyed, that player would receive more points for using a lower Tier Dragon successfully.

In order for a base to be considered “cleared”, players must destroy 100% of the base with up to 3 Dragons. A 100% destruction will clear the base and unlock the next available one to attack.

Players will earn points by attacking these bases based on several factors, which are calculated with the following equation:

Total Points Earned = [Base Points] x [1 + (1 - [Sum of Attack Power of Dragons] / [Defense Power of Base])]

Overall event score is based on the sum of the highest score for each of the 84 bases. Some bases may not be achievable to hit if players do not have Dragons in these Tiers, much like the Temple Guardians in Temple Raid.

The 84 bases unlock in succession once the base before it has been successfully destroyed at least once. After 3 bases in a given Tier have been defeated, players will reach a checkpoint. Every 6 hours, progress resets back to the last achieved checkpoint. Be sure to reach a checkpoint before logging off, as this could push you back slightly between these 6-hour rounds!

There will be an energy system in use for this event, like other PvP events currently in rotation. Each attack on these bases will cost 4 energy that restores over time. The energy cost will reset every 24 hours from when the Battle Phase begins.
