General Information
-
War of Three Kingdoms is in essence a MEGA alliance war type event!
-
Players must be >Lvl 20 in order to participate.
-
If you choose to sign-up to the event, you are sorted into randomly match-made “Warbands” consisting of 100 total players, each warband is attached to one of 3 Kingdoms (Shu, Wei or Wu)
-
In the Preparation Phase, you set your “skirmish defence”
-
During the battle phase, two opposing warbands will “skirmish” with each other in a 100v100 “alliance war”.
-
Pretty much all of the Battle Phase works the same as in Alliance Wars. Each hero can be used 1x time; you get 12 energy total (6 at start & 6 after half-time) which you use to attack opposing teams.
-
At the conclusion of the “Battle Phase”, alllll the points are tallied up and players are given four sets of loot:
- Individual performance (vs. other members of your warband)
- Outcome of the Skirmish (win or lose)
- The performance of your warband vs. other warbands in the kingdom
- Overall Kingdom performance
Kingdoms
As above, each warband belongs to one of 3 kingdoms: Shu, Wei or Wu. The kingdom has no major part in the event beyond assigning your colours/crest. At the end of the event, you will recieve some extra loot based on the total points of each kingdom (1st, 2nd and 3rd). A kingdom is awarded +1 point for each winning warband.
Warbands
Alrighty, so warbands are what SGG call the two “alliances”. Every player who signs up is sorted into a warband with 99 other players (100 total). Each warband belongs to a Kingdom; either Shu, Wei or Wu.
Players are randomly allocated to a warband. It’s unclear if players will be sorted according to their roster strength/depth or if that will only be accounted for when matching two warbands together for skrimishing.
But SGG have stated that:
Skrimishing
As above, skirmishing is the battle phase of the Event. And really? It’s just like in Alliance wars haha…
- Can preview the battlefield, both yours and enemies.
- Have 12 flags total to use during the War of Three Kingdoms, 3 at the start of Battle Phase & other 3 extra every 12 hours .
- Tap on a specific enemy to get more information or attack them
- Hitting “attack” takes you to the “Team Building” screen
- As with alliance wars, each hero can be used 1x time only.
- A killed team will revive after 6 hours. Then 8, then 10 etc… for each successive time they are killed.
- Killing every team on the battlefield will automatically respawn all the teams (same as in Alliance Wars).
Points & Scoring!
There are two sets of points awarded for your flags:
- War Points – determine your personal performance & the outcome of the skirmish
- Warband Points – determines the performance of your warband w.r.t other warbands of your kingdom.
Then there are Kingdom Points which determine the victorious kingdom in the war of 3 kingdoms.
War Points.
War Points for killing an opponent are, like in wars, split into base points and bonus points for killing the team. What is different is that the Base Points and Bonus Points are equal.
In AW the bonus points are worth half the base points.
You can view a teams “war points” by tapping on them and hitting the “info” button; as is the case in Alliance Wars.
Scoring is the same in AW’s. When you complete a fight, you get:
- Full Points for a clean One Shot kill
- Partial Points (from the “base points”) for a failed kill
- Remaining base-points and the “bonus points” for a clean-up flag.
War Points are used to determine the outcome of the skirmish. The War Points a defence team is worth is, like in AWs, is based on the net HP of that defence team compared to the net HP of the Warband as a whole.
Warband Points
Warband Points are what is used to rank the warbands of a kingdom {for the 3rd set of loots}
Warband points are calculated as:
Warband Points = War Points * Team Power
So a defence worth 50 War Points and having a Team Power of 5,000 will give 250,000 warband points. Comparatively an opponent worth 50 War Points and a Team Power of 4,000 will be worth 200,000 warband points.
Skirmish Outcome & Kingdom Points
As above, the outcome (win/ draw/ loss) of a skirmish between two warbands is determined by the sum of the “war points” over the 600 flags.
Each skirmish victory gives +1 kingdom points.
The kingdom in the end with the most Kingdom Points is declared the winner of the War of 3 Kingdoms.
War Band Chat
One point of difference between AW and the W3K is that the War of Three Kingdoms has it’s own unique chat within your Warband. This chat however can ONLY be accessed from the “battlefield” screen. It appears as a chat box, same as in normal wars, and can be expanded to view the history and such…
Again, your Warband chat can ONLY be accessed via the War of Three Kingdoms battlefield.
Summoning Appearance Rates
Please note that War of the Three Kingodms Heroes are amongst the lowest odds of any Hero in the game. Even with a large number of Summons, you are very likely not to get War of the Three Kingodms Event Heroes, particularly 5*.
I highly recommend setting and sticking to a budget for Summoning to avoid overspending and frustration.
APPEARANCE RATES
Rare Classic Hero: 63.1%
Epic Classic Hero: 20.8%
Legendary Classic Hero: 1.3%
Rare Three Kingdoms Hero: 7.9%
Epic Three Kingdoms Hero: 5.7%
Legendary Three Kingdoms Hero 1.2%
BONUS DRAW
Legendary Hero of the Month: 1.3%
LOOT!
A player participating in the War of Three Kingdoms will receive four sets of loot:
- Individual performance (vs. other members of your warband)
- Outcome of the Skirmish (win or lose)
- The performance of your warband vs. other warbands in the kingdom
- Overall Kingdom performance
Staff have said that, as this featured now released in full the loot is now increased, but unfortunaltelly they have not provided further information.
NEW War Rule: Rising Fury
You heroes get this +5% attack and 5% defense during your first attack, which is increasing with 5% after each fight.
So if you use all flags, then this effect will be increased to +60% attack and +60% defense in your last flag usage.
