[Guide] Pandora Battlefield

One of the few activities of direct team-versus-team confrontation. Essentially, this is a match in which it is necessary to gain the highest number of points by capturing buildings, looting resources, and destroying enemy armies. In this guide, we will analyze how to participate in this activity, how to properly prepare for it, and what should be taken into account during the battle.

Team Registration

Preparation for Pandora begins at the moment of team registration. To register, the alliance must meet important conditions, namely:

• The alliance must be in the top 32 of the server by combat power;
• The alliance must exist for at least 7 days;
• Only commanders with Town Hall level 15 and above can participate.

One alliance can register two teams (Team A and Team B) for specific time slots, namely:

• 9:00–9:30 UTS
• 18:00–18:30 UTS
• 23:00–23:30 UTS

Each team can have no more than 20 main players and 10 reserve players. They are assigned by R4 or R5 in a special event menu. A player can be registered in only one team; it will not be possible to participate twice per week. After the team is registered, it cannot be changed, even if a registered player leaves the alliance. When registering participants and choosing the time, it is necessary to clarify with players whether they can allocate time for this event, since it takes place online.

Opponent matchmaking is carried out based on the number of registered players and their total power, and it lasts one day. After matchmaking ends, you will be shown your team’s opponent. At this point, the registration stage ends.

Battle Process

The battle begins at the time designated by your team, but you can enter Pandora 5 minutes before the start — this is how long the preparation stage lasts. During preparation, only fighters from the main team can enter the map; reserve players can enter the map only at the start of the battle.

At the very start, 8 out of 11 buildings are available for capture:

• 2 Research Institutes;
• 4 Hospitals;
• 1 Power Plant;
• 1 Station.

The first 10 minutes will be spent fighting for these buildings. It is worth considering that each building, in addition to points, provides its own bonus. Let’s consider them in more detail.

A basic building for capturing the largest number of points. It does not have unique bonuses and is located very close to the player spawn point. There are 2 in total on the map, one on each side.

A key building necessary for maintaining the combat readiness of the team. In addition to a moderate number of points, it provides passive recovery of wounded soldiers (15 soldiers every 10 seconds). There are 4 on the map, two on each side.

Some of the most useful buildings, providing good bonuses and a small number of points. The Power Plant increases the number of points gained by 10% and is located at the top left of the map. The Station reduces movement cooldown time by 50% and is located at the bottom right of the map. There is one of each on the map.

After 10 minutes, the best buildings of the event open, which either provide a large number of points or give very strong bonuses. It is extremely important to control them from the moment they open. Let’s consider them in more detail:

Buildings with the best bonuses in confrontation conditions, which also provide a small number of points. The Arsenal increases Hero Defense, Health, and Attack by 15%, while the Electromagnetic Tower reduces all of these for enemy heroes. They are located in the center of the map. They open 10 minutes after the start of the battle.

The central and most productive building in terms of points on the map. It opens 10 minutes after the start of the battle. It does not have a large number of bonuses as such, but it provides a colossal amount of points when captured.

After 13 minutes of confrontation, oil spill zones appear on the map. A large number of oil wells appear there, to which you can send squads to gain a small number of points. These are last-chance resources — if you are tied, do not ignore them. Each squad can be sent to one slot, which means you can earn points simultaneously in 4 slots.

So, we have familiarized ourselves with the buildings of Pandora, now it is time to understand how to interact with them. During the battle, you will control your base, moving it across the map for free and fighting with squads for points of interest. You have one movement available every two minutes, but if your alliance controls the station, this timer is reduced by half. During the battle, you distribute responsibilities for controlling points, holding back enemies, and gathering resources.

Remember, during the battle in Pandora you are given free soldiers of the highest available level in an amount equal to the capacity of your training ground. These soldiers are available only in Pandora. You do not spend your resources in this event, except for skipping the healing of your soldiers (your real speedups are used).

When capturing a building for the first time, you take it without resistance, and your squad that captured it stands on defense. A squad of any other alliance member can also join you. Now, in order to take this point, the opponents will have to defeat your squads in the building.

While you control a building, you accumulate points that players can take from you if they knock you out. In case of defeat of the squads defending the building and its capture by your opponent, boxes with points are scattered around the building. They can be collected both by you and your opponent, so you should hurry to capture them first using a drone. Points from the boxes are finally credited both to the team score and to the personal score.

It is important during the battle not to forget to control the situation on the map. You must understand that if the opponent starts capturing your hospitals and stations, you will be at a clear disadvantage in terms of defense capabilities.

Keep in mind that during the battle soldiers can be wounded and sent to the hospital. The game provides the ability to restore the army in two ways:

• Basic healing of heroes, including with speedups (alliance help does not work)
• Healing through captured hospitals (1 hospital — 15 soldiers / 10 sec)

How to gain personal points?

First, it is worth understanding an important thing: everything that is needed for victory gives you points. Destroying enemy armies, holding a building, capturing points after knocking out a building — all of this gives points. If your Town Hall level and soldiers allow you to go fight for the enemy’s home points — go. If there is no such possibility — help in defending home points, stand on oil spills, in general, do everything that is not tied to direct confrontation.

Rewards

So, we have considered how the battle on the Pandora Battlefield takes place, now it is time to understand what exactly we are fighting for.

Rewards are divided into three types:

— Participation rewards;

— Personal score rewards;

— Rewards for the entire alliance.

Participation rewards are given to players who got into the Pandora team and took part in the battle. These players are also eligible to receive personal score rewards, which they earn during the battle according to the list described earlier. Also, at the end of the battle, another reward is given, but already to the entire alliance.
