Mode Adjustments
New Mode: Tide Siege
Welcome to the perilous Tidal Ruins! The new 3-player co-op PVE mode [Tide Siege] is now available on the Advanced Server! This time, you are no longer rivals, but guardians fighting side by side, defending against monsters together, and protecting the base!
Tide Siege - Guide
In [Tide Siege], you will form a team of guardians with two allies to battle enemies from the deep sea. The enemy will launch 18 waves of relentless attacks that intensify as the waves progress. You must eliminate all monsters before they reach and destroy the Base! Between enemy waves, take the initiative to defeat creeps in the Jungle Area to earn Gold for the entire team. This reward multiplies with the number of creep kills. Investing in the Jungle Area early on will yield massive returns in the mid to late game. For every 3 waves successfully defended, each player can choose one of three buffs. These provide bonuses to Attack, Defense, Cooldown Reduction, or grant unique special effects. Mechanics for respawning, earning Gold, and purchasing equipment have been optimized for the Co-op PVE gameplay, placing greater emphasis on teamwork and sustained combat.
Tide Siege - Hero Adjustments
Only select heroes are available in this mode. All available heroes have received ability enhancements to adapt to the PVE combat pace.
