Great Bard & Dancer duo? Then the zone is yours.

Meta Report

Classical Pluck

A game-changing skill that can turn the battlefield upside down. But one wrong move and it can shut down your own guild.

Classical Pluck stops every skill around it: nobody inside its 9×9 cells can use skills or magic. The fix: any other duet skill from a Bard and Dancer, since ensembles can't overlap.

A guild with a great Bard and Dancer duo can win a zone easily. Watch out for them!

Animated: Classical Pluck used at the wrong time, nearly losing the castle — Animated: an example of bad usage that almost lost the castle. *How much did •[D]estraCtiOn• pay you?*

VIT VIT VIT

Since the Marc Card, it's a stun meta now! Anything that boosts VIT without sacrificing other stats too much is spiking.

The VIT Exchange Stone (Middle) for costumes tripled in price at its highest point!

Price history chart for VIT Exchange Stone (Middle), peaking near 63,000,000z — Live Market Price: VIT Exchange Stone (Middle), VIT +3 · AGI -3 on the costume Middle slot.

Jing

These troublemakers make the news every issue

Skoegul Gets Emergency Called (AGAIN!)

Jing, our troublemakers, left the castle to play around with Classical Pluck, got called on and pushed deep into the Emperium room, and •[D]estraCtiOn• almost snatched the castle out of their hands.

All •[D]estraCtiOn• lacked was a hold on the flag entrance and a flood of reinforcements.

Is This a Trend?

After Sustainer and Aurora, now The Forsaken also end the war without a castle. How?

The Forsaken were holding two castles, Bamboo Grove Hill and Scarlet Palace. Then both got pushed at the same time. They picked Bamboo Grove Hill to defend against Mexican Gangster and left Scarlet Palace wide open, allowing Azure to snatch the castle before WoE ended.

As for Bamboo Grove Hill: •[D]estraCtiOn• and Mexican Gangster pushed in and broke the defensive line. And so The Forsaken end the war without a castle.
