Shadow Stronghold Siege

The alliances on your server fight over 20 strongholds around the Supreme Prison. A 2-hour contest decides who holds each one, and every stronghold you hold earns season points.

Hold a stronghold 30 minutes in a row, or 60 minutes in total, to win it. Large Iron Prisons are worth 4 season points, Dark Ironholds 2 and Basic Dark Ironholds 1.

Weekly

Plus five extra sessions in a new server’s first month.

2 h

Contest Phase.

8

Sessions in one season.

How it works

•Registering: the Leader or R4+ registers strongholds and picks 3 of 5 start times. The time most alliances on the server pick wins.
•Strongholds you held last session are registered for you (up to 14) and don’t count against the 2 extra you may register. You don’t need a territory link.
•Wardens who join a new alliance on contest day can’t take part. Rejoining the same alliance is fine.
•Winning a stronghold: hold it 30 minutes in a row or 60 minutes in total. If nobody does, the longest total hold wins.

The 20 strongholds

Stronghold	How many	Season points	Hurricane Corps garrison
Large Iron Prison	4, around the Supreme Prison	4	345,000 troops · 44.3M Power
Dark Ironhold	8	2	169,400 troops · 12.6M Power
Basic Dark Ironhold	8, at the map edges	1	169,400 troops · 8.5M Power

One alliance holding all 20 would earn 40 points per session. Old mails still call this event “Iron Prison Siege.”

AttackATKStats

How hard your army hits. More Attack means more enemy troops get hit hard enough to risk dying.

DefenseDEFStats

How much damage your army can absorb. It makes enemy hits wound your troops instead of killing them.

HealthHPStats

One soldier’s hit points. More HP means fewer of your troops go down at all.

LethalityLTHStats

How likely your hits kill for good instead of just wounding. It turns injuries into permanent enemy losses.

Kill-checkCombat

The hidden roll behind every hit. Attack decides how many troops get one, Lethality decides how many succeed, and HP + Defense help your troops survive them.

Tactical DMGCombat

A second kind of damage. It happens when a condition is met — like every 3rd round — and each hit is a set share of the dealing troop type’s ATK. It has its own boosts and defenses.

The 40% RuleCombat

Of the troops knocked out in a solo attack on a prison, 40% count as dead or Hospital and 60% as lightly wounded (35% and 65% in rallies and tile fights). It isn’t the point where a fight stops.

Combat Level1–30Troops

A troop’s starting levels, 1 to 30, before it has a Tier. It’s the “1-30” starting row in the stat tables.

TierTroops

A named troop class unlocked after Combat Level 30, with a whole new higher baseline. Tier 10 is “Ace,” Tier 11 is “Bastion.” A “Lv.10.0” portrait badge means Tier 10.

Forticlad Level1–10Troops

An upgrade path inside a Tier, raised in the Barracks. Each level adds stats and unlocks Forticlad skills. It’s the small number badge on a troop.

Troop BonusHeroes

An ATK/DEF boost that every hero in the same generation shares, whatever their type or role. It goes up about 20–25% each generation.

GenerationGen 1–7Heroes

Which release group a hero came from. Newer generations have a bigger Troop Bonus and higher base stats.

War skillHeroes

A hero’s PvP skills — the ones that actually matter in fights against other players.

Arrest skillHeroes

A hero’s PvE skills, listed on the faint “PvE” line of each hero card. They don’t apply in PvP.

Exclusive EquipmentHeroes

A hero’s Exclusive Equipment war skill, marked with the EE badge on their card. It only works in the one mode its text names.

PassiveHeroes

A buff that helps your whole army all the time, even when the hero isn’t deployed.

RallyRallies

A team attack. One leader uses a three-hero formation, and other players join in with their troops.

JoinerRallies

Someone who adds troops to another player’s rally. Only four joiners’ skills count: the four highest-level first War skills of the joiners’ first heroes.

SurvivedBattle

Troops that never took a hit. Fully ready for the next fight.

Lightly WoundedBattle

Took damage but heals back to full as soon as it gets home.

Heavily WoundedBattle

Knocked out and sent to the Hospital. Recovers — as long as there’s room.

LossBattle

Dead for good. The only battle result you can never get back.

HospitalBattle

Where Heavily Wounded troops recover. Keep space free: once it fills up, the overflow becomes real deaths.

Defender’s AdvantageBattle

In a solo attack on a prison, the defender’s troops that would have died become Heavily Wounded instead, while 30% of the attacker’s knocked-out troops die. In rallies and tile fights, nobody’s troops die.

Blank shardsCosts

The universal yellow shards you can spend on any hero. Maxing one costs 1,065, plus 10 hero-specific recruit shards to first unlock them.
