Quick plan

Play it well

  1. Register eligible strongholds and preferred contest periods carefully.
  2. Prepare for the final period selected by the server registrations.
  3. Coordinate control across all sessions that contribute to season scoring.

  1. Playbook

    Choose the Strongholds

    Shadow Stronghold Siege is fought over Dark Ironholds and Large Iron Prisons. A stronghold does not need to connect to your territory before it can be registered or contested.

    Leaders and Rank 4+ members can register targets during the Registration Phase.

    Understand Automatic Registration

    A stronghold controlled in the previous session is registered automatically for the current session. Automatic registrations do not use the normal registration allowance.

    Up to 14 strongholds can be registered automatically, and the group can actively register up to two additional targets.

  3. Playbook

    Select the Contest Period

    During registration, choose three of the five available contest time slots. The slot selected by the most registered groups on the server becomes the final Contest Period.

    You can participate from ST 00:00 on contest day if you belong to the registered group. If you leave, you must return to that same group; joining a different group does not make you eligible for its contest that day.

  4. Playbook

    Secure Control

    The two-hour Contest Phase takes place on the final day. Ownership can be secured early by holding the stronghold continuously for 30 minutes or by building one hour of total control.

    If neither condition is met before time expires, the side with the longest total occupation wins. Coordinate relief marches and avoid leaving control gaps.

    Ways to win
    • Hold continuously for 30 minutes.
    • Accumulate one hour of total control.
    • If time expires first, finish with the longest occupation time.

    Build Season Points

    A Shadow Stronghold season lasts for eight sessions. Each controlled stronghold adds points according to its type, so target selection should balance difficulty with season value.
