What it is
An alliance-scale battle over "Sanctuary" objectives, appearing as part of the broader 4-week event rotation alongside Alliance Championship and Swordland Showdown.
Sanctuary/Fortress Registration
- Your alliance registers for a specific Sanctuary or Fortress ahead of the battle
- After completing the relevant research, you can teleport for free to the ruins of whichever Sanctuary or Fortress your alliance registered for — this is a meaningful logistics advantage, so make sure your alliance's registration is set before the event starts
- Ask your R5/officers which Sanctuary/Fortress the alliance has registered for if you're not sure
Core Strategy
- Treat it like a smaller-scale version of Swordland Showdown: hold objectives, don't just chase kills
- Coordinate roles with officers (holders vs attackers) rather than freelancing
- Prioritize points/objectives your alliance can realistically hold over contested ones you'll lose quickly
Prep checklist
- Heal troops before the event starts
- Get your assigned role/objective from officers
- Don't overextend into contested zones without backup
Teaching point for new members
Sanctuary Battles works a lot like Swordland Showdown on a smaller scale — hold your assigned objective, don't overextend, and follow the officer callouts on where to focus.
