Life Stone

Only the guild master or assistant guild master of the invading team can use the life stone. Once the life stone is created, it functions as a respawn point for the entire guild.

When the invading team's character gets killed,he will respond from the life stone and not from the outside of the castle.

• When the invading team's guild member (including the united guild) gets killed, he will respawn nearer from the battle zone.
• Can only be used by the invading team.

• Life Stones can be destroyed when attacked by the invading/defending teams.
• Life Stones cannot be used more than 3 times per siege.

Creating a Life Stone

• Life Stones can be created through the chaos mix
• Life stone formula = Jewel of bless 30x + Jewel of soul 30x + Jewel of life x30 + Jewel of creation x30 + Jewel of guardian 10x + Jewel of chaos x30 + 1kkk zen

The Castle Gates

• The castle gates have defensive power/durability (HP) and can only be attacked during the siege. Weapon durability is greatly reduced when attacking the castle gates, therefore it is strongly advised to take a Potion of Bless or Soul before attacking.
• When an alliance guild wins the castle while the castle gates are destroyed, the gates will not be restored until the siege is over.
• The castle gates can be upgraded up to a maximum of 3 stages of defensive power and durability. (upgrading and restoring is not possible during the battle)

The castle gates are divided into 3 parts; an outer part, a middle part, and an inner part It is possible to penetrate the castle even if only one gate is destroyed.

Guardian Statues

Guard towers

• Guard towers play a role in protecting the Guardian statues once the battle starts.
• Guard towers attack invading parties around them.
• Guard towers can be attacked just like Guardian statues or Castle gates.

Dragon Tower

• This huge tower is located at the top of the castle. The tower is divided into a shielded entrance and an upper floor.

Registering the official seal

• 
• Note: during a siege, you do not have to hold down Ctrl to hit the enemy. You can also hit your allies, so be careful when using mass skills.
• Attention: if you are a member of a guild or alliance that is participating in the siege, then during the event your cursor will become a combat cursor in all locations, without having to press Ctrl.

Most often, parties of 5 people are concluded. The most common party consists of two BK and one elf, SM and DL, where each has his own role:

• Blade Knight – firepower, gives inner (hp buff) to members of his party
• Soul Master – gives MS (Soul Barrier) to party members, moves opponents in the throne room with Lighting, tries to protect the elves supporting the fire, and can also hold the Crown Switch.
• Muse Elf – gives a buff to all members of a friendly alliance, slows down enemies with Ice Arrow
• Dark Lord – summons the party closer to the battlefield, tanks on the button, moves opponents from the throne and button using the horse skill, crit baff and melee
• Magic Gladiator is a fighting power with low defense. It has a very important debuff that cuts off 30% of the opponent's defense.

Roles and tasks may change depending on the ingenuity of the GM, so before a siege, it is best to ask your GM about your role.

Some tips:

• Before the start of the siege, buy more HP cans so as not to jump during the game, and if something happens, throw a couple of cans to your ally.
• Buy also 8 town teleport pieces. A very useful thing in case the DL cannot add
• Throw stats wisely. Incorrect distribution can result in complete failure.
