War and Order: How to brave the cold in the Winter is Coming event
War and Order's 6th-anniversary celebrations are underway, and all in good time too - this season not only brings about fabulous festivities, but it also lets players experience the harsh winter in an entirely new way.
In the Winter is Coming event, players can expect to join forces with their fellow lords and brave the extreme cold as it descends from the north. As the Winter Masters envelop the whole land in ice, how can valiant lords protect their territories in turn?
The rules of engagement
Lasting for five days, the Winter is Coming event will test every lord's might and mettle. The first phase of the event is the “Preparation” Phase, where players will have to gear up in anticipation for Phase 2 of the event. Phase 1 will last for two days, after which, the “Defense” Phase will begin.
For three days, players will fight for a spot in the Top 4 Alliances to qualify for entry. During the “Defense” Phase, “Winter Lairs” will pop up on the map. Players must be ready for the Winter Monsters that will emerge from these dangerous lairs, doing everything they can to protect their Alliance Base.
A winning strategy
Once the beastly Winter Monsters emerge from the depths of their lairs, lords must fight together to eliminate them before they reach the Alliance Base. Killing these fiends rewards lords with Individual Points and Alliance Points, as well as event items earned through completing quests.
Of course, this opens up the battlefield not only for intense PvE fights but also for some exhilarating PvP battles. Exclusive event items are up for grabs during the siege, and players can use these to either fortify their defenses or to cripple other Alliances. Perhaps a good defense strategy is to redirect enemy fire from your own Alliance to someone else's - after all, all's fair in War and Order, right?
Teamwork makes the dream work
At the end of the day, only the Alliances with the strongest bonds and greatest team efforts will emerge victoriously. Players can choose to divide their strength across multiple defenses in the front line, or vary their roster of defending and attacking troops. They can also choose to aim for the highest Individual Points earned - without sacrificing their Alliance's progress, if they can.
The Winter is Coming event not only provides an exhilarating new endeavour for lords to explore this season, but it's also War and Order's way of expressing its gratitude to the millions of players who have played the game through the years.
