​

Greetings, Admirals!

Elysium… a mysterious extant, parallel plane discovered by the Armada’s 55th Detachment… was hinted at in our November’s Development Note.​

But now that we are getting closer and closer to heading into the all-new, all-out Alliance vs Alliance war, we will start diving headlong into the details! ​

[Elysium Schedule]

Admirals who want to partake in the battle for Elysium will first have to register for the engagement with their Alliance.​

The Alliance registration period is open from Friday 16:00 to Sunday 16:00 (PST) / Saturday 00:00 to Monday 00:00 (UTC).

Once the registration period concludes, participating Alliances will then take part in the matchmaking process.​

During this process, participating Alliances are matched against one another, and the matchmaking results will be available to view until Monday 16:00 (PST) / Tuesday 00:00 (UTC).

Subsequently, participating Admirals can then start on Fleet Management until Wednesday 07:00 (PST) / Thursday 15:00 (UTC), allowing them to form their fleet before the start of the Elysium battle.​

The process of entering the battle for Elysium is divided into three stages:​

Preparation Stage, where Alliances prepare for the war before entering; the Pre-Entry Stage, where Alliances enter Elysium just before the battle commences; and the Battle Stage, where the actual Elysium battle commences.​

Admirals can participate in Elysium once every week.

Admirals in World Zone 1 can select from three time slots (Combat Time) to participate, whereas Admirals from World Zone 2 and 3 will have a fixed time slot for Elysium participation.

Each time slot has a maximum capacity of 100 Alliances which will be filled on a first-come first-serve basis.​

Only R4+ ranking Alliance members can select and register for a time slot.​

Please remember that once a time slot has been selected, it cannot be changed.​

[The Battle in Elysium]

The Elysium Battle is executed differently from previous in-game Alliance vs Alliance engagements.​

All structures have a square ‘territory’ surrounding them.

Stationing your Aircraft Carrier inside these territories will allow you to conquer the building.

In the case where you want to conquer an enemy-controlled building,  you will need to attack and reduce the building’s durability to zero before attempting to 'conquer' that building.

​

If an enemy Aircraft Carrier is within the confines of the territory you are conquering, the ‘conquer’ process will be put on hold. 

You will have to drive the enemy Aircraft Carriers out of the territory in order to continue your conquest of the building.​

However, if the difference in the number of Aircraft Carriers is three or more in your favor, the conquest process will continue without stopping.

Additionally, you can conquer enemy buildings to isolate certain territories that your enemy currently has in their control.

If an occupied territory's connection to its Starting Point is severed, it will immediately turn into a neutral territory.

​

Keep these rules in mind when building your Elysium strategy, these elements offer a host of options, allowing your Alliance to use a multitude of strategies. ​

Once the battle is over, Elysium will enter a temporary state of peace.

Alliances can then take this opportunity to bolster their forces for yet another attempt at glory in Elysium.

Aim for victory and some amazing rewards by strategically planning your participation and fleet management.​

[Elysium Rewards]

Special rewards will be granted to Admirals who take the win in Elysium.​

On top of the Basic Rewards that are provided to all participants, those who participated until the end of the battle will be granted the Victory/Loss Rewards.

These rewards include various items to aid you in your in-game progression and “Dark Krystals,” a new element-based resource that can be used at the Elysium Shop for some amazing items.​

Extraordinary items await you at the Elysium Shop! So, hope to see you there!​

[World Boss Schedule]

The World Boss Valkyrie’s scheduled battle will be adjusted accordingly.​

Once Elysium battles are active, the usual appearance schedule for [World Boss - Valkyrie] will be adjusted as noted below.

Before:

- Thursday 01:00 (PST), Thursday 06:00 (PST), Thursday 12:00 (PST)

- Thursday 09:00 (UTC), Thursday 14:00 (UTC), Thursday 20:00 (UTC)

After:

- Friday 01:00 (PST), Friday 06:00 (PST), Friday 12:00 (PST)

- Friday 09:00 (UTC), Friday 14:00 (UTC), Friday 20:00 (UTC)

We hope that these details provide some clarity on exactly what Elysium is all about, and hopefully provide you all with some ideas on how to prepare for it.​

We hope to see you in the all-out Alliance vs Alliance battle, Elysium where extraordinary rewards are available as well as the glory of strategically winning against other talented Alliances.

We look forward to seeing all of you in Elysium!
