Notable Event Features

BLITZ WAVE ( T ) : Occasionally players will be subjected to bonus surprise rouge attacks called Blitz Waves. The Blitz Wave is different from a standard Defense Wave in several ways : The player is only allowed a maximum of 5 min to prepare their base prior to the wave beginning. If the player fails or surrenders a Blitz Wave they will automatically move to the next wave level. If the player survives they will receive Bonus eXP. The Armored Corps & Hell Hounds combine their forces for Blitz Waves.

STRIKE BACK ( T ) : Occasionally the player will be given a chance to choose between attacking either the Armored Corps or the Hell Hounds with the difference being : The Armored Corps - Normal Base - Standard Difficulty - Standard eXP Payout The Hell Hounds - Elite Base - Higher Difficulty - Raised eXP Payout Upon completing the Strike Backattack wave the rogue faction of the following attack waves will be determined by the level of the corresponding wave.

PLAYER EXCLUSIVE EVENT BASE ( T ) : A Player Exclusive Event Base is a Rogue Faction Event Base that is attached to each Player's Base for the entirety of the Event. This event base will serve as the target for all Attacking Waves for the player. The event base may only be attacked by the player to which it is attached. The event base will remain in a Protection Bubble until the player has reached a Attack Wave. During Attack Waves the the bubble is removed and the player is allowed access to the event base. The Level and Layout of the base will change based on the players current attack wave. The event base will always appear under a Protection Bubble to all other players. The colored hexagon that adjoins the player's base to the event base may only be occupied by the player to which it is attached throughout the duration of the event. This insures the player will always have at least one hex to gain access to the event base.

Event Shop

Event Experience Points (eXP)

As the Player acquires eXP, they may at any time during and up to 48 hours after the end of the Event, choose to spend all or a portion of their eXP on one or more of the newly introduced Special Event Prizes in the Event Shop. Also available in the Event Shop are all the past Special Event Prizes excluding any Removed or Locked.
