02. The Battlefield Map

The battlefield is a 240×240 grid with two safe zones in opposite corners — one for each alliance. Buildings are scattered symmetrically across the map. You cannot attack enemies sitting in their safe zone.

The map is roughly symmetric — buildings near your safe zone are mirrored near the enemy's. The Nuclear Plant sits dead center.

03. All 13 Buildings Explained

Buildings are the only source of alliance points. Capturing a building gives you a one-time first-capture bonus, then it generates points every second you hold it. Some buildings also provide powerful combat buffs.

Building Unlocks First Capture Points/Min Special Effect
★ Nuclear Plant 15:00 9,000 1,800 Core objective — highest single-building yield
⚡ Power Station (×2) 3:00 6,000 1,200 High yield — both together outpace Nuclear
🏥 Emergency Station (×4) 3:00 3,000 600 Scattered around corners — grab early
⚔️ Security Armory 15:00 1,200 240 +15% squad damage / −15% damage taken
🎯 Support Camp 15:00 1,200 240 Unlocks NPC mercenary attacks (see Section 8)
🚁 Helicopter Base 3:00 1,200 240 −50% teleport cooldown
⚛️ Reactor Facility 3:00 1,200 240 Faster building capture speed
📦 Resupply Spots ~15:00 240 Spawn in waves, collect to score. Deplete after 4,800 pts
✨ Scattered Supplies Varies Dropped from overflow (see Section 6)

Key insight: The Nuclear Plant yields ~90,000 alliance points if held uncontested from unlock to end. But both Power Stations combined yield ~149,000 over the full battle. Nuclear is the swing objective, but don't neglect Power Stations — they're collectively worth more.

04. Battle Phases & Timing

0:00
Battle Start

Preparation

3-minute prep window. Plan your moves, coordinate assignments. Substitutes cannot enter yet.

3:00
Phase 1

Outer Buildings Unlock

2 Power Stations, 4 Emergency Stations, Helicopter Base, and Reactor Facility all unlock. This is the land grab — move fast, capture everything near your side of the map before the enemy does. Subs can enter at 3:00.

15:00
Phase 2

Center Triangle Unlocks

Nuclear Plant, Security Armory, and Support Camp unlock. This is the main event. The Nuclear Plant rush determines the game. Have your forces staged and ready BEFORE 15:00. First Resupply Spots spawn at ~15:02.

20:01
Phase 3

Second Resupply Wave

Second wave of Resupply Spots spawns. Collect these for bonus points. They deplete after 20 minutes.

60:00
Battle End

Battle Ends — Final Score

Alliance with the most points wins. If tied, the alliance with more enemy officers defeated wins. All wounded officers heal for free.

05. How Scoring Works

Alliance Points (Win Condition)

  • Building Score: First-capture bonus + continuous points while holding
  • Collect Score: Collecting from Resupply Spots
  • Pickup Score: Grabbing Scattered Supplies from the ground
  • Killing enemies does NOT generate alliance points

Personal Points

  • All of the above, PLUS:
  • Attacking: 80 pts per 10K enemy power defeated
  • Defending: 40 pts per 10K enemy power defeated
  • Personal score determines your tier in the personal reward ranking

Critical: Combat kills do NOT count toward alliance score. Killing enemy squads is purely for personal points, denial of objectives, and tiebreaker purposes. The alliance scoreboard is 100% about who holds what buildings.

06. The Overflow Mechanic

This is the mechanic most players don't understand: Each building has a "safety point" threshold. Once you've held a building long enough to exceed that threshold, half of every additional point becomes overflow. If the enemy captures the building, that overflow drops as Scattered Supplies on the ground — and BOTH sides can pick them up.

How Long Before Overflow Kicks In

Building Safety Threshold Points/Sec Time to Overflow
Nuclear Plant 6,000 30 3 min 20 sec
Power Station 3,000 20 2 min 30 sec
Emergency Station 600 10 1 min
Small Buildings 240 4 1 min

What This Means Tactically

  • A continuous long hold on a building is not always better than two short holds. If you recapture a building, you collect the first-capture bonus again AND earn at 100% rate for the first few minutes (instead of 50% past the overflow threshold).
  • If you've held the Nuclear Plant for 30 minutes and the enemy flips it, approximately 24,000 points of overflow drops as supplies — and the enemy can grab them. That's devastating.
  • If you can't defend a building, it's actually better to lose it early (before overflow builds up) than to hold it for a long time and give the enemy a huge supply drop when they finally take it.

07. Combat & Wall Burns

🔥 4,000× Wall Burn Rate

Walls that normally survive 30 minutes of fire will go down in roughly 25 seconds during Alliance Training. If your wall drops to 0 HP, you're auto-teleported to your safe zone with a 12-minute cooldown before you can re-enter.

You also cannot enter the battlefield while your wall is burning. This is the primary tempo punishment in this event.

💚 Free Healing

Officers injured during Alliance Training do not require resources to heal. They go to the hospital, not the grave. All wounded officers fully heal automatically when the battle ends.

This means the cost of losing a fight is only tempo, not resources. Throw your squads into fights. Lose them, get them back. The expensive resource here is time, not officers.

Teleportation Economy

  • You get 1 free teleport every 12 minutes
  • After that, you spend real Advanced Teleporters
  • Holding the Helicopter Base reduces the cooldown by 50% (6 min instead of 12)
  • Free marches are available (5-min cooldown, max 10)
  • Don't waste your free teleport moving around during downtime — save it for when buildings unlock or for emergency repositioning

08. Support Camp Mercenaries

Capturing the Support Camp unlocks the ability to dispatch NPC mercenary squads against any enemy-held building. These aren't just damage — they apply a stacking debuff on the enemies inside the target building.

Mercenary Wave Debuff Stacking

Wave 1
10% debuff
Wave 2
20% debuff
Wave 3
30% debuff
Wave 4
40% debuff
Wave 5
50% debuff

After a mercenary attack, enemy officers in the target building deal less damage and take more damage for 5 minutes. Stack 5 waves on the Nuclear Plant and the defenders are taking 50% more damage in all battles — this is how you crack a fortified position.

Cooldown: 8 minutes between leader-initiated dispatches, 2 minutes between individual dispatches.

09. Strategy & Priority List

1

Race for Phase 1 Buildings (3:00–5:00)

Capture all 4 Emergency Stations and both Power Stations in the first 2 minutes after unlock. They're symmetric — whoever moves faster grabs free first-capture bonuses. The Power Stations alone generate 1,200 pts/min each. These early captures compound over the full 57 remaining minutes.

2

Stage for the 15:00 Nuclear Plant Rush

Between 5:00 and 14:59, you should be positioning your strongest squads near the center. When the Nuclear Plant unlocks at 15:00, your forces should be ready to capture it immediately. The first 3.3 minutes of holding are at full rate (before overflow kicks in). Also grab the Security Armory for the +15%/−15% combat buff and Support Camp for mercenaries.

3

Use Mercenaries to Crack Defended Buildings

If the enemy is dug into the Nuclear Plant, don't throw bodies at a fortified position. Take Support Camp, send 5 waves of mercenaries to stack the +50% damage debuff, then attack. This is the designed counter to a strong defense.

4

Helicopter Base + Reactor = Tempo Advantage

Helicopter Base cuts your teleport cooldown in half (12 min → 6 min). Reactor makes you flip building captures faster. Their direct point yield is low (240 pts/min each), but the mobility and capture-speed buffs are what let you hold 3+ objectives simultaneously instead of just 2.

5

Tiebreaker: Kill Everything in Sight

If alliance points are tied at the end, the tiebreaker is most enemy officers defeated. If you're ahead on points in the final 5 minutes, start hunting enemy squads to build your tiebreaker lead. If you're behind, kills won't save you — focus on flipping buildings.

6

Don't Waste Teleports

You get 1 free teleport every 12 minutes (6 minutes with Helicopter Base). That's only 5-10 teleports during the entire battle. Don't burn one moving closer to a building during dead time — save them for critical moments like the 15:00 Nuclear rush or emergency repositioning when a key building is under attack.

Lessons from Similar Events in Other Games

Kingshot's "Tri-Alliance Clash" and Whiteout Survival's "Fortress Battles" follow the same building-capture-for-points model. The universal strategies from experienced players in those games:

  • Buildings over kills — always. Chasing kills is 10× less valuable than holding buildings per minute.
  • Assign roles BEFORE the battle. Real-time role assignment during the 3-minute prep window leads to chaos.
  • Weaker players reinforce, they don't solo. Your job is to garrison buildings your strong players captured.
  • Use voice chat. Discord or in-game voice makes coordination 10× easier than typing in chat mid-battle.
  • The center building is the swing objective. In every game, whoever controls the center (Nuclear Plant / Temple of Tides / Fortress) usually wins.

12. Pre-Battle Checklist

TL;DR — The 30-Second Version

  1. 1. Alliance Training is a 60-minute building-capture PvP event. Points come from holding buildings, not killing.
  2. 2. Outer buildings unlock at 3:00. Rush and capture everything near your side immediately.
  3. 3. Nuclear Plant + Armory + Support Camp unlock at 15:00. This is the real battle — be staged and ready.
  4. 4. Use Support Camp mercenaries (5 waves of stacking debuffs) to crack fortified enemy positions.
  5. 5. Walls burn in ~25 seconds. Healing is free. Losing fights costs time, not officers — be aggressive.
  6. 6. Long building holds bleed overflow that drops as loot for the enemy. Two short holds > one long hold.
  7. 7. Control the Nuclear Plant and both Power Stations, and you win. Everything else is support.
