■ How to Participate
A certain number of guilds can participate in a Node War depending on the Node.
There will be numerous Nodes for each Node War. Please note the date of availability of each Node as each Node War will be different.
※ Each Node has 3 different tiers, labeled Tier 1-3. More rewards will be given when winning on a higher tier Node. Please note that a Tier 1 Node is the lowest tier.
e.g) Winning a Node War on a Tier 3 Node will grant more rewards than a Tier 2 Node.

If you die during the war, you will be revived near your Holy Artifact. The guild will lose the Node war when the Holy Artifact’s HP reaches 0. |
| Defense Tower | This is a defense tower in a fixed position near the Guild’s Holy Artifact. It will automatically attack any approaching enemies. | |
| Barricade | An obstacle set in place near a Guild’s Holy Artifact that helps keep incoming enemies at bay. Enemies will be able to move in between any destroyed Barricades. |
