• There are 20 sanctums in the War of the Roses, with different monsters spawning at each sanctum.
  • Minus the 1st sanctum occupied in the beginning by each faction, once war commences, "Faded Relics" will spawn at each neutral sanctum, which will remain passive to adventurers.
• If a sanctum is occupied by the opposing faction, you will need to defeat all monsters that have spawned at that sanctum. Once all monsters have been cleared, an allied guardian monster will spawn affiliated to the newly re-occupied sanctum.
  • Guardian monster types are fixed based on each sanctum.

• You can only conquer sanctums that are closest to a sanctum occupied by your faction. Defeating monsters in any other sanctums will not let your faction occupy them.
• Each time your faction occupies a sanctum, all participants in your faction will obtain one of the following passive effects.
  • You can check the tactical map to see which sanctum grants which passive effect.

The guards of Ornette and Odore Castles are quite formidable, so occupying the Spirit's Altar to attain the "Spirit's Blessing" is key before attempting any siege of thethi opposing faction's castle. 

You must transfer a certain amount of Black Spirit's Rage to occupy the Spirit's Altar. 

We strongly recommend utilizing mounts with high HP, such as the elephant, before attempting the siege.

• There is only one Spirit's Altar during the war, and you must transfer enough Black Spirit's Rage into the monsters spawned around the altar to occupy it.
  
  • The Spirit's Altar is crucial to occupy before attempting to siege the enemy faction's castle due to the powerful buffs it grants, and will also spawn Ancient Chariots, Ancient Trolls, and elephants.

• Once the Spirit's Altar is activated, it cannot be re-occupied for 20 minutes, and you can check the timer on the tactical map.

 

• You must defeat the opposing faction's commander located within their castle walls to achieve victory in War of the Roses.
  • If both commanders remain standing at the end of the War of the Roses, the faction whose commander has the highest HP wins.
    • If both commanders have the same amount of HP, the war shall conclude in a draw.
  • Both Narchillian and Sephir will unleash powerful attacks when their HP reaches 60% and again at 30%.

 

Commander Narchillian of Ornette Castle	Commander Sephir of Odore Castle

 

• Guards watch over the inner and outer walls of each faction's castle, and they are quite formidable, so proceed with caution.
  • Defeated guards will not respawn.

Faction Skills

One of the most significant strategic elements to win the War of the Roses is the captain's faction skills. 

Confuse or trick your opponents with strategic skills to gain an advantage during the battle. 

Multiple skills can be used together for a more effective strategy.

 

• Only the captain can use the six faction skills during the War of the Roses.
  • The six faction skills are as follows.

War of the Roses - Weapons

In War of the Roses, annexes such as Elephant Nursery and Cannon Observatory are not utilized, and weapons deployed at the start of the War of Roses can be used immediately. By effectively utilizing the characteristics of each weapon (such as damage to guardian monsters, damage to individuals, etc.), you can gain an advantage in the war.

 

• During the War of the Roses, five types of weapons are available: Elephants, Chariots, Trolls, Ballistae, and Cannons. These spawn at specific locations at the start of the war.
• Elephants, Chariots, and Ballistae spawn on the bridge in front of each faction's Ornette/Odore castle, while Cannons spawn at designated spots.
• The Ancient Troll, a siege mount, is only summoned when the Spirit's Altar is occupied. It can be directly mounted by an adventurer from the occupying faction.
• Once deployed at the start of the war, these weapons do not respawn if destroyed and will disappear at the war's end.
• The War of the Roses weapons are accessible to all allies, regardless of whether they belong to the leading (captain's) guild or the Third Legion or their rank.
• When using the War of the Roses exclusive weapons - chariot, ballista, and cannon, no ammunition is consumed.

War of the Roses - Revival 

When you die in the War of the Roses, you can choose to revive at a sanctum occupied by your allies. You can also choose between Quick Revival or Revival. You become invulnerable for 15 seconds after revival.

 

• Upon death, you can choose a location on the Tactical Map to revive at.
  • You can choose a location in your faction's castle, or a sanctum occupied by your allies.
  • You can choose either Quick Revival (30 sec) or Revival (45 sec).
  • Quick Revival is faster, but only recovers your HP by 20%, whereas Revival takes longer, but you recover full HP.

* When you die in the War of the Roses, your mount is also moved to your location and revived if it was killed.

* When enemies enter revival locations within each of the castles, they receive a debuff (AP, cast speed, movement speed decrease) and powerful damage.

 

Quick Revival	Select an occupied sanctum and be revived with 20% HP  30 sec cooldown
Revival	Select an occupied sanctum and be revived with 100% HP  45 sec cooldown

 

• The tactical map replaces the World Map (M) during the War of the Roses. The tactical map is displayed automatically when you check the world map.
• It's crucial for captains to keep a close eye on the battlefield via the tactical map.
• If the captain falls in battle, issuing orders becomes challenging until resurrection, so it's advisable to command from a safe location.
• The captain-exclusive skill, Rally Forces, can be used at sanctums other than those of your faction.
• At the Spirit's Altar, situated at the heart of the tactical map, you can obtain buffs that give you an advantage in assaulting the castle guards and the commander.
  • The Spirit's Altar can be captured by transferring a certain amount of Black Spirit's Rage, with the faction that transfers the final accumulated amount taking control.

• On the tactical map, you can toggle the chat UI on and off using F4. 

• Each faction's first sanctum (N1/S1) starts off as occupied.
• Defeating the guardian monster of a sanctum or the first neutral sanctum results in its occupation.
• The War of the Roses platoon is automatically formed at the onset of the war, based on the pre-arranged formation. If you're part of another party or platoon, you'll automatically leave and join the newly formed platoon.
• The Third Legion can engage in battle freely, akin to field PvP, but without a mission, their focus might wane.
  • Hence, it’s recommended that captains and lieutenants frequently assign missions to the Third Legion.
• You can't capture the sanctum that isn't connected to the ones already in your occupation. You must progress from a friendly sanctum to the next connected sanctum.
  • If an opponent successfully attacks a sanctum that connects others, it triggers the liberation of all other interconnected sanctums.
• While gaining buffs through sanctum occupation is important, direct assaults on castles also carry significant weight.
• When the War of the Roses concludes, the outcome is determined by the remaining HP of both sides' commanders.
• The guards and escorts protecting each castle won't respawn once defeated.
• For the S8 and N7 sanctums, their proximity to the Spirit's Altar makes them strategic points for its occupation.
• Occupying the Spirit's Altar and inflicting damage on the guards and the commander through buffs could tip the scales of victory or defeat, depending on the remaining HP at the end.
• You can check adventurers who have received penalties via the class icons in the list on the left side of the screen and the platoon list.

• You will receive a penalty for the following violations while participating in the War of the Roses.
   1. Not connected to the War of the Roses server (O'dyllita-1) for more than 10 min.
   2. No character movement for more than 10 min during the War of the Roses.
   3. Moving out of the war area for more than 10 min or 10 times.

• There are no specific restrictions on consumables such as Pure Black Stones. However, Node/Conquest War exclusive items (such as Energy of All Creations) can only be used in their respective content.
• Deceased mounts can be revived at the wharf manager and stable keeper. Also, when your character is revived, the deceased mount also comes back to life.
