Melee Battle
The Melee system is a multi-player versus multi-player battle system that can support up to 12 vs 12 battles with a total of 24 players.
After the Melee begins, all Weapons are fully enhanced and you can directly engage the enemy in combat.
Musou Souls collected in Melee allow players to transform into Musou Officers in normal battles to influence the outcome.
Joining Method
During the "Melee" mode period, you can talk to the "Enlistment" NPC in the Plaza to choose to reserve or participate in Melee battles.
Joining Conditions
Character rank must be Squadron Leader or above (including Squadron Leader), and the Character must belong to the current "Contest" warring Faction or alliance.
After dialogue, there will be Melee Battlefield selection.
>Reservations can be made 2 hours before the Melee begins. (You can only reserve one Melee at a time, and after reserving you can freely do any activities until 5 minutes before the Melee begins).
>5 minutes before the Melee begins, players will automatically enter the preparation screen. (If in battle, offline, or away, it will be considered an automatic forfeit).
>Players who have not made reservations can enter rooms that are not full 5 minutes before the Melee battle begins.



Victory Conditions
Cut off the enemy's supplies.
Judgment Conditions
When time reaches 0, the side with more remaining provisions wins.
Reduce Provisions
Occupying and holding a Base for a certain period of time will reduce the enemy's provisions.
Destroying the gunpowder boxes in the enemy's supply depot will greatly reduce their provisions.
Strategy
Before battle begins, you can decide your strategy on the preparation screen. During battle, you can also change strategy by attacking "Stone Pillars".
When retreating, items enhanced to Stage 3 or above of the Hermit's Gourd will drop by one level, but will not drop below Stage 3.
Melee Musou uses Awakening Orbs and Ultimate Awakening Orbs, and cannot carry Sub-Officers.
There is a "Unit Appearance Gauge" in Melee. When the gauge is full, "Transport Units" and "Gunpowder Units" will appear, which automatically retreat after being defeated or reaching their destination.
Defeating enemy soldiers, suppressing Bases, defeating commanders, and destroying gunpowder boxes in supply depots will make the "Unit Appearance Gauge" increase faster.
As time progresses, the "Unit Appearance Gauge" will gradually increase.
Defeating "Transport Units" or "Gunpowder Units" will have certain effects on your side or the enemy depending on the battle situation.

Destroying wooden boxes on the Melee Battlefield has a chance to obtain "Musou Soul", which allows transformation into a Musou Officer of your Faction, lasting until the end of battle.
When defeated, "Musou Soul" will drop, and other players can pick it up and continue using it.
