Alfheim’s Defense: Preparation

Before the map opens, your kingdom plays Erosion of the Dark Forest: five stages, scored for you and for your Team. The Team ladder pays the buffs you fight the war with, and the Team ranking pays an attack buff on top.

The five stages

Day node	Stage	What scores
Day 1	Expel the Shadows	Defeating the Venomclaw Dragon
Day 3	Military Strengthening	Might from training and promoting troops
Day 5	Mount Development	Yggdrasil Dew, mount experience, Trap Points, honing
Day 7	Jewel Crafting	Building equipment, Recast Blades, Enriching Stones
Day 9	A Mighty Army Rises	A bit of everything: summons, Hero Shards, equipment, mounts, troops, Gems

The hub's popup for a stage is headed CURRENT SCORE and lists every task with the points it pays.

The Erosion screen

Erosion of the Dark Forest is a tab of the Event screen. Its screen shows Team Points and Team Ranking, your Personal Points and Personal Ranking, a Lv. level bar, the Deliver All button for your lilies, and on the right Rankings, the current stage, and Buff, which opens the Team ladder.

The Resurrection Lily is this event's item: it can be used in Erosion of the Dark Forest and donated for Preparation Battle Points.

The Team ladder

The ladder's heading: “Buffs obtained will take effect upon entering the war after relocating into [Alfheim's Defense], and expire when the war ends.” Each milestone your Team reaches adds the buff on its row.

For tribe leaders

• Get every member to deliver their lilies. Team points are what the ladder and the Team ranking both count.
• Run Day 1 as a rally schedule. The Venomclaw Dragon stage is a rally stage. See Expel the Shadows.
• Tell members which day node to spend each resource on. The same item scores very differently on different stages.
