Battlefields and bases
The rules every PvP battlefield shares: supply bases, base types, respawns, healing urns, troops and their drops, weather and battle items.
- Applies to
- Every PvP battle - Quick modes, rooms and Standoff / Deadlock
Bases
Each side starts next to its own supply base. A supply base falls when both of its Supply Captains are defeated.
Every other base is given a random type when the battle starts. The base panel names what you have to defeat to take it:
- 4 Base Captains
- 100 Troop
- Tower
- Commander
- Juggernaut (tiger tanks)
In rooms with a capture victory condition, bases are taken by breaking their buildings instead.
Map specifics
| Map | What is different |
|---|---|
| Plains | One of 8 layouts from the original game is picked at random. Team A's supply depot is top-left, team B's bottom-right. |
| Water Lily Village | A tower base sits in the middle; break its 4 towers to take it. The ruins hold 4 squads that never come back once defeated. |
| Arena | No crates, two guarded supply bases, and Flame Formation from 4:00. |
Respawning and healing
When you are defeated you respawn at the base or supply depot your side holds that is nearest to where you fell.
Standing in one of your own bases slowly heals you, faster in your supply base. The healing comes from the base's urns: the more urns still standing, the faster you heal, so protect your urns and break the enemy's.
Troops and drops
Troops appear on every map except the Arena. A squad returns a while after its leader falls.
| Enemy | Drops |
|---|---|
| Majors and sorcerers | Usually a flask, sometimes a meat bun |
| Privates | Nothing |
| Base units | Nothing, except Supply Captains |
| Enemy Supply Captain | Sometimes a weapon - see Rewards and progression |
There is a limit to how much loot one player can pick up in a single battle.
Weather
Weather is rolled at random in PvP. A Rain Amulet makes it rain for the whole match, and fire attacks are weaker in the rain.
Battle items
These items work in battle:
| Item | Effect |
|---|---|
| Elixir / Herbal Elixir | Regenerate Life |
| Remedy | Regenerates Musou for the whole fight |
| Hua Tuo's Journal | +50 Life for each named enemy you defeat, in PvP too |
| Herbal Tea | More meat buns |
| Time Scroll | +5 or +10 seconds on buffs |
| Stat items and wards | Raise your stats for the battle |
In a room with items turned off, these items are stripped for the battle.
