Does finishing with a War Score of Zero reduce War Chest Participation?

Gameplay Help & Tactics

Sometimes, when the outcome of a war is already decided, I start a flag and flee immediately for a score of zero.

This gives Path of Valor credit for war attacks but the War Chest Participation and loot seem to be affected also.

I haven’t merced or left the alliance since the beginning of the War Chest. But even having “used” all flags in war, the participation was 76% and the loot had nothing special in it except a Titan Flask and a few emblems.

Wondering if a total score of zero for a war reduces War Participation percentage and (therefore) loot.

FWIW me and my alts are the only accounts in the alliance that are opted into war. So really it’s just me. And that’s how I gauged the contrast in War Chest results. 100% vs 96% vs 76%.

What was the difference between the three accounts? In terms of participation I mean.

@Guvnor All flags used. But I always score with my main account. Occasionally I burn flags on the second alt, and more often on the third.

By burn flags you mean attack, flee and intentionally score a 0?

Do you do that with all 6 flags on occasion?

@Guvnor exactly. Attack, flee, and intentional 0. Yes, with all six flags. Which does count for PoV but apparently not for War Chest? That’s what I’m trying to confirm.

ETA if it wasn’t for the War Attack part of PoV I’d probably not do many wars anymore.

I always thought using the flag itself was sufficient for participation. Perhaps the game also tracks whether you actually make a move before considering the flag as used. Maybe try attack, move, flee.

I have scored zeros for attacks in war, but I don’t recall it ever affected participation. Mind you I didn’t just attack and flee right away, I legitimately had inflicted no damage before dying.

Thank you @Guvnor @nevarmaor @mogulemon ! Points on every flag–I’ll try for that and report back next War Chest how it worked out.

Do you mean that if you use, say 3 hits and score on them, you will still get reduced war loot for not using the last 3 hits?

Yup. Prove it to myself. I was shock when one of my alts got like about 97% war participation because i was only using few flags from 6 flags on last war before opening chest

What happens if you start a flag, make one or more attacks and flee (or die fighting) to still receive a score of zero?

Also, can you go down from “100%” if some but not all your war flags get no points/cause no damage.
