Eternal War Strategy

2024.09.24

When your territory thrives and prospers, will your ambitions still drive you to conquer more lands? It's time to enter the Eternal War and expand your dominion!

Requirement

The Eternal War unlocks at 12:00 on Day 6 of the server launch. Adventurers who have cleared stages 8-20 can join the fray and battle alongside others from Draconia!

Stronghold Management

Every Adventurer will have their own Stronghold in the Eternal War. The starter Stronghold will be generated automatically on the map. Later, you can relocate it to a strategic position by obtaining a Migration Decree and meeting certain conditions.

Nexus

Station companions, backs, artifacts, and pets in your Nexus. Their stats will contribute to your Military Power. Higher quality and level units enhance your Military Power!

Be sure to upgrade the Nexus with Stone to station more units. They will enhance your Military Power and allow you to dispatch more troops!

Supply

Produce supplies at the Supply Camp while idle to recruit more soldiers. Upgrade Supply Camps to increase production efficiency and storage capacity!

Barracks

The Stronghold barracks are divided into the Spearman Camp, Shieldman Camp, and Bowman Camp. Upgrading them boosts the Military Power and increases the Troop Power limit of each type.

Core Augment Tips

Augmentation is key to boosting Military Power and Troop Power. These are critical for excelling in battles and minimizing defeats. Troop deployment requires Troop Power, which consumes Supplies. Ensure you have enough Supplies to sustain your forces for more battles.

Combat

The Eternal War is filled with monsters, and defeating them requires strategic planning.

Dispatching Troops

Monsters of the Eternal War belong to different troop types. Dispatch countering troops for effective combat.

Counters: Spearman -> Shieldman -> Bowman -> Spearman. Basic counter effect: 5%. Each matching Companion deployed adds 5%, up to an impressive 20% with 3 Companions!

Against Monster Spearmen: Use Bowmen with three strong Undershadow Companions.

Against Monster Shieldmen: Use Spearmen with three strong The Union Companions.

Against Monster Bowmen: Use Shieldmen with three strong Roaring Legion Companions.

Map and Camps

Stronghold location affects your marching route. Relocate to optimal positions to save time. Unlock camps to access new areas and resources.

The map is divided into: Starting Areas (6), Resource Areas (3), and Central Area (1).

Adventurers interact with only 1 Starting Area, 1 Resource Area, and 1 Central Area. These areas are connected linearly: Starting Area > Resource Area > Central Area, linked by Camps.

Starting Area: Lv.1-8 Altars.

Resource Area: Lv.9-12 Altars.

Central Area: Lv.13 Altar + Lv.14 Final Dragon Altar.

Adventurers start in the Starting Area. After the Guild conquers Lv.1-8 Altars, the Outer Camp Trial is unlocked. Complete the group Camp Quest to relocate to the Resource Area. Relocating near each new altar will save marching time.

Likewise, in the Resource Area, the Inner Camp Trial is unlocked after the Guild conquers Lv.9-12 Altars. Complete the group Camp Quest to relocate to the Central Area.

Attack the Lv.13 Altar and prepare for the Lv.14 Final Dragon Altar on the last day. This marks the culmination of the season. The season lasts 28 days.

Monster Hunts

Eternal War monsters have 13 levels, each with increasing difficulty and 3 troop types. Monsters must be defeated sequentially. Conquer Lv.1 monsters before challenging Lv.2 monsters.

Use the Search function to locate monsters of the corresponding level on the map. Set up your team based on the counter relationship and attack when the indicator turns green for a higher rate.

Monster hunts consume Action Points, with 12 points available daily. Each hunt uses 1 point. Distribute points evenly, attacking each troop type at least 3 three times. Action points reset to the maximum at 0:00.

Rewards from monster hunts include Contribution, Magistone, Stone, Reserve Spears/Shields/Bows, and Supplies to upgrade your Stronghold.

Team Caves

Beyond wild monsters, the Eternal War features perilous Caves requiring teamwork. With 13 levels of increasing difficulty and 3 troop types per level, you must take on Caves sequentially from low to high, using counter troops for efficiency.

Use the Search function to find Caves of the corresponding level, then join or create a team. Once it's full or the countdown ends, the battle begins. If you can't find a team, create one. Invite friends or wait for others to join. You can also engage in other parts of the game while waiting.

Rewards from Team Caves include moderate amounts of Contribution, Magistone, Stone, Reserve Spears/Shields/Bows, Supplies, and Ever Coins to upgrade your Stronghold.

Altar Conquests

The Altars are the most challenging! Conquering altars requires Guild cooperation. From 12:00 to 20:00 daily, Guild Members can assemble a team to attack that night's altar. Success depends on active participation rather than individual strength.

There are 14 Altar levels. After capturing an Altar and occupying it for the required days, you can move to the next. Lv.1-13 Altars are non-competitive, requiring Guild cooperation. Lv.14, the Final Dragon Altar, is competitive and opens on the last day of the season. All Guilds can attack it, with the highest contributor claiming victory.

Rewards for conquering altars are substantial, and joining an active and powerful Guild is the key!

Rewards

The Eternal War is a treasure trove of resources and coveted rewards! For the free-spirited minnow Adventurers, it's your exclusive gateway to Special Costumes—don't miss out!

Contribution can be earned by participating in any War game mode. These points are crucial for ranking on the leaderboard!

Battlefield Chronicles

Daily and Season Quests in the Eternal War yield core resources: Diamonds, Invitations, Divination Pearls, Beast Summoners, Chests, and Accel Cards. You'll also gain Augmentation resources: Experience Bread, Mercury Steel, Mithril Dust, Angel Feathers, Pet Cookies, and Fancy Pet Cookies.

Ever Coins earned on the battlefield can be used to purchase items in the Eternal War Shop. Please note that Ever Coins reset at the end of the season, so be sure to use them promptly!

If your budget allows, purchase Advanced Rewards for the exclusive Red Dragon Knight outfit! It also includes a wealth of core and Augmentation resources, plus Supply Karts to bolster your Troop Power.

No Budget? No Problem! Even without spending, battlefield quests are easy to complete with regular activity. The season lasts only 28 days so it won't be too demanding.
