Fantastic Guild Battle – New Game Mode

The new event for Guilds is known as “Fantastic Guild Battle”. For those unaware, it’s going to be a PvP game mode seen in other games as well where 2 guilds compete against each other in real-time. Here are the general rules regarding the new game mode:

• Firstly, all leaders of the respective guild will have to make a Vanguard team that consists of 5 different guild members. Keep in mind each guild can only take a maximum of 5 players from their own guild. The rest of the guild members who are not part of the Vanguard team can spectate the matches of their guildmates.
• The Vanguards team of both the Guilds (Yours and the opponents) will clash against each other. The victor of the match will receive the rewards. Post this match, the official Fantastic Guild Battle will commence.

• The team leader of the vanguard team has the power to choose between challenging monsters or enemy teams in the battlefield. Similarly, other team members have the option to select your team or enemy monsters. Team leaders can passively accept challenges.
• Each adventurer participating in the battle will have a certain amount of initial action points. The team’s combat power is the sum of all members’ action points. Winning battles earns points, while losing battles results in deduction of action points. When the total action points of the team become zero, they will exit the current Fantastic Guild Battle.
• Yield essence can be acquired by defeating the random enemies spawning on the battlefield. This resource can be used to upgrade the guild commander’s skills.
• Fantastic Guild Battle is going to be replacing Guild League Matches. The points achieved from the latter game mode will get reset. Further, the Fantastic Guild Matches will start after 1-week waiting period.

Divine Pet Re-Run

After the update, players have a higher chance of recruiting the following Divine Pets:

• Divine Rabbit Lulu – The legend Divine Rabbit Lulu comes in various forms, and its greatest happiness is to transform into a girl to accompany adventurers.
• Pixiu – Epic pet Pixiu, who loves gold ingots, may look majestic and fierce, but it’s actually lively and adorable, and will protect your treasure well.
• Kirin – The majestic and awe-inspiring Kirin, an epic pet with a noble demeanor, actually likes to act cute. You can get good luck by petting its head.

Keep in mind that the recruitment starts from 24th April, 2023 and ends on 7th May, 2023.
