Battleground Layout, Mechanics, and StrategyAttacking

Use demolishers in groups – don’t go alone.

Always dispel the demolishers. Defenders will use crowd control (CC) abilities to slow you down. Be sure to cleanse/dispel them often.

Never, ever cap the southern graveyard. This lengthens the time it will take your group to get demolishers and you’ll be yelled at severely.

Speed matters. A good group will do this in about 3 minutes. Most groups 3-5 minutes. Don’t give up if it takes you longer. Finish it up.

Defending

When a gate falls, use the teleports located in the front of any gate to fall back. It will automatically bring you to the next level of gates that haven’t fallen. This is key! Use the portals to fall back. Saves you tons of time.

Watch for bombers at the yellow gate and relic doors. They will come and they are hard to stop. Disarm the bombs after CC’ing the player.

Demolishers are always your top priority. If a demolisher gets through – you will lose.

Rogues can Shadow Step the cannons when attacking. Thus they can plant bombs on the other side of the wall and even attack the Relic Chamber wall before any other walls are down.

This can be a very handy strategy in laying the ground work for when your demolishers finally arrive. The yellow gate will already be halfway down!
