The castle gates have defensive power/durability (HP) and can only be attacked during the siege.
In this server there are no Potions of Bless and Potions of Soul, so you can't attack with them.


When an alliance guild wins the castle while the castle gates are destroyed, the gates will not be restored until the siege is over.

The castle gates can be upgraded up to a maximum of 3 stages of defensive power and durability. (upgrading and restoring is not possible during the battle)



The castle gates are divided into 3 parts; with an outer part, a middle part, and an inner part It is possible to penetrate the castle even if only one gate is destroyed.

When all 4 statues inside the castle have been destroyed, the shield blocking entrance into the Dragon Tower vanish.
Only the players of the defending team can enter through the shield.
Recover HP/MP/AG around the guardian statue and recovery rate can be upgraded up to maximum of 3 stages.

Destroy 4 Guardian statues to proceed to the Dragon tower.

Guard towers play a role in protecting the Guardian statues once the battle starts.
Guard towers attack invading parties around them.
Guard towers can be attacked just like Guardian statues or Castle gates.

 

Catapults are 2 for every side, attackers and defenders, they are very useful because they can cause very big damage

This huge tower is located at top of the castle. The tower is divided into a shielded entrance and an upper floor.

The upper floor of the Dragon Tower houses a pedestal with the official seal of the lord of the castle.

The entrance to the Dragon tower is protected by the shield which blocks the invading team's forces.

To penetrate the Dragon tower all 4 Guardian statues need to be destroyed.

The Siege is won by the guild which has registered official Seal before the time runs out.

1) The Siege continues until the time runs out.
2) Any other invading team (including ex-defending) may still take over the Castle after successful Seal registration.

1) In order to get access to Chamber (inside) all 4 Guardian Statues must be destroyed.

2) After entering the Throne Room both of the switches at the Chamber (inside) must be activated.

Notes:
a) If the character that activated the switch leaves the area marked on the floor (or dies) the switch deactivates.
b) The Switch may be activated only by the battle masters of the main alliance guild
c) To deactivate Crown Shield both Switches must be activated

3) After the Crown Shield is deactivated, the attacking Guild Master must start registering the Official Seal by clicking on the Crown image. It takes 30 seconds to register it.
