Area of Conquest is a four-day event in which Guilds compete against each other on a special map.
Basics
As a Guild member, you need to earn Superior Coins to upgrade the Guild's Castle and obtain various rewards.
You can find the entrance to the Area of Conquest on the main screen:
To join this adventure, you have to meet several requirements:
- Your team level must be 30 or higher.
- You signed up for the game more than 14 days ago.
- You must be in a Guild at the start of the event. Even if you join the Guild during the event, you will not be able to participate.
Note: Approximately three hours before the Area of Contest begins, the game starts the matchmaking of the Guilds. The Guild may be matched at any time during that period — an hour or one minute before the event. That is why you should remain in the Guild during that time. Otherwise, the game might not count you, and you will not be able to participate in the event. We recommend joining the Guild no later than four hours before the event to guarantee participation.
Also, we recommend you join a Guild that is likely to actively participate in the Area of Conquest. As this is not a solo challenge, it requires contributions from many players.
The Area of Conquest Map
You start at the Guild's Castle. To enter the map, press the Map button in the upper-left corner of the event menu:
Your Guild competes against three other Guilds with similar power levels and a similar number of Guild members. You can find your Guild's Castle in one of the corners of the map:
You can set or change your team of heroes only at the Guild's Castle. The selected team will fight both in attack and defense. To set up the team, you need to stand on the Castle tile and press the Change button.
In the upper-left corner, you can see some info on the current competition:
- The Castle level.
- The number of settlements captured.
- Rival Guilds' records.

Navigating Across the Map
The fog constantly covers the map. The only places you can always see are your Guild's Castle and the areas around you and your Guildmates. Even if you remove the fog from tiles while standing on them, the fog will return when you leave.
Each move on the map requires an Action Point. You can have 12 Action Points max, and it takes six minutes for one Point to restore.
You can make a move by choosing one of the tiles around you. If you run out of Action Points, you can also plan your path on the map. This way, your team will continue moving step by step as Action Points recover. To plan the path, you need to select tiles one by one. You can cancel the planned path by clicking the red cross on the tile with the route.
Your goal on the map is to earn more Superior Coins for your Guild. There are three ways to do it:
1. Capture settlements. While staying on the settlement tile, you get a certain number of Coins every minute. The settlements near your Guild's Castle are safer and give fewer Coins than those closer to the center of the map. But the risk of being attacked by other Guilds is higher in the center.
2. Attack rival Guilds' teams. You fight using the team selected in the Castle. To start a battle, your team needs to stand on the tile next to the opponent's team. Then press the sign that appears over the opponent's team. The number of Superior Coins you receive for a fight depends on the health your team was able to take from the rivals. So, you get Superior Coins even if your team has lost.
If a team loses, it returns to the Castle. Teams on the Castle tile cannot be attacked.
Note: The battles are held in the Auto mode, and the heroes' health is not restored after a fight. If your team is defeated, it returns to the Castle. You can either restore heroes' health by using a Health Potion or wait for the automatic restoration at 4:00 AM UTC.
3. Find chests on the map. You need to step on the tile with the chest to get one-time Superior Coins. Each member of your Guild will get the same number of Coins.
Upgrading the Castle
To enter the Castle, press the Castle button under your avatar:
Here you can contribute Superior Coins or emeralds to level up the Guild's Castle (1) and claim or view the rewards for the Season's unlocked levels (2):
The Castle level is the same for all Guild members and depends on how many Superior Coins the Guild contributed to the Castle.
Press View All Rewards to go to the Road to the Top Season. The level of the Castle correlates with the level of the Season. For example, if the Castle level is 11, you can collect the reward for level 11 in the Season.
Rewards in the Road to the Top Season are divided into two categories: free rewards and Golden Ticket rewards. After you get the Golden Ticket for yourself, you can purchase Tickets for your guildmates and get more bonus resources for yourself.
At the end of the Area of Conquest event, Guilds will receive the rewards depending on their ranking. The more Superior Coins the Guild has acquired, the higher its ranking will be.
Note: You can spend emeralds to add Superior Coins to the Castle, thus contributing to the Castle's and Season's levels. However, only the Coins gathered on the map (from settlements, chests, and battles) are counted in the Guild’s ranking.
To see the possible rewards, press the Ranking button on the right side of the map:
Unused Superior Coins, Speed Boosters, and Health Potions (except Action Points) are automatically converted into Hero Upgrade Chests after the event ends. The conversion rate is: 1000 Superior Coins / 4 Speed Boosters / 1 Health Potion = 2 Hero Upgrade Chests.
Tavern and Chat
In the Castle menu, go to the Tavern to see the info on your Guildmates.
You can check if your Guildmate is online, see what they are doing at the moment, and even fast-travel to their position on the map by pressing the arrow next to their name.
Using the event chat, you can separately communicate with your Guildmates and Area of Conquest opponents. Press the Chat button to open the chat and select the required tab. The button is available both on the map and in the Castle.
Changing Guilds During the Event
We do not recommend changing Guilds during the event, as you will not be able to participate in the event in a new Guild. The only way to remove this restriction is to return to the initial Guild, where you can continue the event.
Also, make sure you do not change the Guild too often, otherwise you may get a 7-day ban on joining Guilds.
If you still decide to change your Guild during the event, note that all the Superior Coins you gathered in a previous Guild will not be deducted from its balance and will be counted in the final ranking.
