hey Chiefs welcome back to White out survival today I'm bringing you an essential guide to Castle battles I'll show you exactly how to dominate these intense 6-hour battles and claim victory for your alliance let's start with the basics the castle battle is an epic six-hour fight where alliances compete for control of the Sunfire castle in the center of the server map to win your alliance needs to either hold the castle for three continuous hours which is extremely challenging or maintain control for the longest total time during the battle four defensive Towers surround the castle each equipped with powerful cannons when your alliance controls a tower you can launch devastating mortars at enemies these mortars become stronger over time and have decreasing cooldowns here's a catch Towers won't fire if the same Alliance controls both the castle and tower now for the crucial part the winning strategies solo attacks are suicide and Castle battles and rallies are really your only path to Victory goes without saying that the more people that particip I at in your alliance the better your alliance should have at least two to three rally captains and 7 to eight rally joiners per rally captain in order to be effective and win the castle in the castle battle there are attackers and Defenders if your alliance is occupying the Sunfire Castle you want to make sure you have the best type of Heroes defending against other alliances now we'll talk about which Heroes to use as a rally leader and rally Joiner so here I've created a chart showing which Heroes work best for attacking versus defending for the first four generations and for most rallies you'll be sticking with Jesse suun and lingang when you're attacking and Patrick Wallace and Sergey for defense and if you have Mythic Heroes with level five Expedition skills you can also use them to join for example Philly in Generation 3 for defense or in generation 4 using Raina for offense and Lynn for defense in every rally members can only use their first skill while the rally Captain uses all Expedition skills so when attacking the castle preparation is really important your rally captain needs three things strong Chief gear and charms powerful Mythic Heroes with their exclusive gear and high rally capacity here's something crucial to understand the rally Captain is always your bonus captain in attacks meaning their Chief gear charms and hero abilities are all active in Battle Before launching and attack Scout the enemy troops once you identify the enemy bonus player you can think about the perfect counter strategy but as you progress in later generations and participate in more Sunfire castles you'll generally know who's the rally captain and who's using bonus now for defense there's really no single unbeatable combination every Hero has some counters and it really comes down to troop ratio the stats of your rally leader and also the composition of the hero joiners but however certain lineups are really really hard to break so here are three powerful defensive combinations for your whales to use in Generation 3 you can use Logan Philly and Greg and in generation 4 you can use Amos Raina and Lynn so while not inv full these lineups will give attackers serious trouble if your lines has two rally captains you want them to be next to each other as close to the Sunfire Castle as possible this way you can time a double rally to land at the same time and in doing so it'll also be very hard for the enemy Alliance to reinforce properly this will greatly increase your chances of taking over the castle here's a pro tip for switching between attack and defense you can start with your strongest attacking leader leading the rally if you only have one rally Captain you can have your m first time a defensive troop lineup to land right after your rally lands but this involves a lot of coordination so you have to be careful now if you have two rally captains or more you can have the first rally Captain use attacking Heroes and the second rally Captain using defensive Heroes that way you won't have to switch so remember these crucial points your rally Captain should attack as captains using the 20% City bonus and if you have two rally captains you can also coordinate when to use pet skills having both captains use it at the same time could be a strategic error if you stack it on top of each other your alliance's rally captains can have a total of four hours with pet skills instead of two generally early on two rallies with maxed Heroes should be able to win over the castle next keep your infirmary from overflowing you want to make sure your alliance has enough active members healing at all times and you want to set your infirmary to instant heal based on the amount of active players that you have in other words it's called batch healing each active player reduces healing time by 3 minutes and 10 seconds so I would start off with put healing around 1,000 troops at a time and go up or down until you find a sweet spot lastly while solo attacks might be tempting stick to rallies for success unless you want to acquire points now let's talk about the rewards you'll get if your Ali secures the castle you can earn rewards like charm designs charm guides and gems from the amount of troops you defeat in battle or how many of your troops are defeated if you're looking for a high score you can continuously send solo attacks to the castle or turret but be prepared to heal a lot and don't let your infirmary max out otherwise you'll lose troops during the castle battle there are three ways to earn points number one is Carnage points which is obtained by defeating enemies in the fight for Sunfire Castle or turrets number two occupation points determined by your troop's power when occupying the Sunfire Castle or turrets and lastly number three casualty points how many of your troops are defeated or how many troops you lose and at the end of the battle if your alliance has won the Sunfire Castle your R5 and also assign one player to be the president of the state and your name will be in the history records which is pretty cool president will be awarded a cool City Skin March skin and a president pack now the president can also award grants you have one General accommodation five officers Commendation and 30 soldiers commodation and as president you can give these to whoever you like the president can also appoint people to different roles to be eligible to apply for position you have to have at least a level 16 or higher furnace you can can only apply for one position at a time and you can hold it up to 1 hour or until someone else requests the position and Chiefs that are on the reservation list take office based on Q order

research speed troop training speed construction speed to even battle bonuses like increased lethality for Alliance events like the bear trap and that's everything you need to know to dominate The
