Emperium Weekly #9 · Ragnarok Zero WoE

Headline

Firestarter!

We're the firestarters: we fan the flames until they roar, then burn it all down~

Jing is now a huge guild with a full roster, big enough to spill over into its alliance guild. A bunch of troublemakers, yet a solid line-up. They hold Skoegul, which should reach a level 70 tech investment this week. Their god item journey has probably already started!

Phase 1Time to make trouble

Jing opens the war with a solid line at Skoegul, one that turns back anyone who dares to attack. But nobody attacks. So it's time to go make some trouble!

Together with the alliance they hit Gondul, then take •[D]estraCtiOn• from behind.

“DIE DIE DIE!” · Jing shotcall

Then a little skirmish with Mexican Gangster, and some playing around with the Baphomet guild.

Step 1
The full Skoegul defensive line at the entrance, ready for anyone.
Step 2
Jing hits •[D]estraCtiOn• and Mexican Gangster from behind.
Step 3
Zone versus Mexican Gangster.
Step 4
Pushing into the Baphomet guild.

Phase 2Meanwhile in Skoegul

While the firestarters are out playing, back home in Skoegul…

Step 5
Meanwhile, inside Skoegul.

Then playtime is over. •[D]estraCtiOn• plants a flag and Sustainer Emergency Calls into the Emperium room!

“F***! Everyone go back to Skoegul and keep pushing into the Emperium!” · Last Gangster and Jing alliance

They slowly clean up and push the attackers back out. Skoegul was almost lost.

Step 6
Is the highest-tech castle free for the taking?
Step 7
Last Gangster's Emergency Call into the Emperium room.
Step 8
Mexican Gangster and Intelligent BRAIN hold the flag entrance against a flood of reinforcements.
Step 9
The alliance slowly cleans up. Defenders and attackers alike: how high is that Emperium's HP?

Phase 3One more fire

Will our firestarters hole up in their castle? No. Before the war ends they push into Sustainer at Scarlet Palace, while Skoegul is still under attack!

Step 10
Pushing into Scarlet Palace.
Step 11
The war ends with two castles. And for the first time, Sustainer ends a war without one!

Last war · Jing ends on two castles · Sustainer ends without one

Aftermath

Last Gangster · The Forsaken · Jing Dominate

One alliance, 6 castles out of 10

Last Gangster, The Forsaken and Jing dominate. The whole alliance snatches 6 castles out of 10: Jing (Skoegul, Scarlet Palace), The Forsaken (Kriemhild, Bamboo Grove Hill), Last Gangster (Fadhgridh) and Gang`LARB (Swanhild).

RED, Azure and Elven Gard miss out on a castle this time. The reason? …Luck?

RED · Azure · Elven Gard

What a bad day

Divinity, Everywhere They Go

What a bad day. They almost had a castle, but somehow ran into Divinity at every castle they visited!

First they pushed into Mexican Gangster's castle and nearly broke it, until Divinity Emergency Called in and the two sides clashed. The result? •[D]estraCtiOn• came in and killed everyone.

Then another push, another run-in with Divinity, and one last push into Intelligent BRAIN's castle. They couldn't break it before time ran out.

“It's you guys again!?”

Aurora

A cobra lies in ambush

Another One Ends the Day Homeless

Another unlucky one this war: Aurora ends the day without a castle.

They start the war by pushing into Gondul and fighting Divinity, then pull out and snatch a castle from The Forsaken.

Near the end of the war, Last Gangster leaves its castle wide open. Time for a sneaky steal! But they miss the timing to break the Emperium.

“Sorry, Last Gangster, mind if we borrow your castle?”

With 5 minutes left they push into Bamboo Grove Hill, Emergency Call into portal 3 and push deep into the castle! But against RED, Azure and Divinity at the entrance, Aurora fails to take a castle today.
