Round 6: Invincible Warrior

In 99% of cases, a GVG is decided based on the first 5 rounds.

Round 6 is a PVP stage. If Guild X from Server Y comes out on top in the first 5 rounds, they will be able to invade Server Z entirely, giving them an incredible advantage to easily secure points for this round.

In this round, healing and killing enemy soldiers grant you points.

Tips for Round:

  • If you are not a fan of PVP, it’s recommended to have plenty of wounded soldiers already in the process of healing (for a few days) when the round starts. This will reduce the amount of fighting you need to do to claim your reward chests.
  • Remember to maintain your shield during this round!

You will be able to invade the opponent guild’s server (if it’s not your own server) a total of 3 times.

  • You will randomly spawn in their server and have to locate your target (mostly your opponent guild).
  • If you are defeated multiple times, you will not be ported back to your server but will be relocated randomly within their server.

And that concludes the 6 rounds of the GVG Arms Race!
