Vortex Gaming

· Rallies should be initiated by the strongest player in the alliance.
· All troops participating in a rally will adopt the rally leader's stats.
· The rally leader should be the player with the best Commander Gear, Talismans, Hero Gear, Heroes, and the highest rally capacity.
· While rally leaders typically use their three strongest heroes, for offensive rallies, prioritize heroes focused on attack and critical hit.
· Defense-oriented heroes are not suitable for offensive rallies.
· High attack power and critical hit rate are crucial for offense, while high defense and HP are important for defense.

· When participating in an offensive rally, prioritizing sending Jessie as the first hero is crucial.
· When participating in a rally, only the first expedition skill of the first hero applies.
· Jessie's first expedition skill increases the damage of all troops by 25%.
· If Jessie is unavailable, Jasser is the next best choice, and his skill is almost identical to Jessie's.
· If Jasser is also unavailable, Seo-yoon is the next option, and her skill increases troop attack by 25%.
· If multiple rallies are ongoing, send Jessie to the first rally, Jasser to the second, and Seo-yoon to the third.
· Heroes focused on defense, such as Molly, have minimal effect in offensive rallies and should not be sent.
· When participating in a rally, the hero's base stats (e.g., Jessie's attack stats) are not important; only the level of the first expedition skill and troop level matter.
· The 4 highest-level expedition skills among rally participants will be activated. Therefore, you must fill the rally with the correct heroes.

Role	Hero	Key Skill	Notes
Offensive Rally Participation	Jessie	Increases all troop damage by 25%	1st priority, only the first expedition skill applies
	Jasser	Skill similar to Jessie's	2nd priority if Jessie is unavailable
	Seo-yoon	Increases troop attack by 25%	3rd priority if Jasser is unavailable

· For defense, focus on defense and HP rather than attack.
· Sergey's first expedition skill reduces all troop damage taken by 20%.
· Patrick's first expedition skill increases all troop HP by 25%.
· Patrick is a very important hero for defense and is preferred over Sergey.
· If defending multiple buildings, use Patrick first, then Sergey.
· If neither Patrick nor Sergey is available, you can consider heroes that provide probability-based defensive boosts, such as Molly or Bahiti, but they are not ideal.
· When defending a single building (facility or fortress), prioritize sending Patrick, and if unavailable, send Sergey. Do not send other heroes.

Role	Hero	Key Skill	Notes
Garrison Defense	Patrick	Increases all troop HP by 25%	1st priority, very important
	Sergey	Reduces all troop damage taken by 20%	2nd priority if Patrick is unavailable

· Unlike rallies, you cannot directly choose the leader for garrison defense.
· The Garrison Captain ensures rally capacity, so you must designate the player with the highest capacity.
· The Bonus Source is automatically selected by the game, choosing the player with the best stats (gear, heroes, hero gear).
· All hero skills and stats of the player chosen as the Bonus Source apply to all troops.
· The Bonus Source can only be confirmed through the battle report.
· If the Bonus Source is not the Garrison Captain, that player should immediately recall their troops and resend them with their three best heroes.
· Other participants only contribute the first expedition skill of their first hero.

Category	Garrison Captain	Bonus Source
Selection Method	Player designated	Game automatically selects
Criteria	Highest rally capacity	Best stats (gear, heroes, hero gear)
Applied Effect	Ensures rally capacity	All hero skills and stats of that player apply to all troops
Importance	Allows more troops to participate	Core of defense

· After successfully capturing a building, you must immediately switch from offensive heroes (Jessie) to defensive heroes (Patrick/Sergey).
· Do not recall Jessie immediately; instead, recall Jessie just before Patrick arrives and send Patrick. This minimizes the time the garrison is empty.
· R4 or R5 members may expel players who sent offensive heroes to make room for defensive heroes. This is not personal; it's a measure to strengthen defense.
· The Garrison Captain (if they are the Bonus Source) should use the best mythical defensive heroes that provide three skills.
· Appoint the player with the highest rally capacity as the Garrison Captain to allow more troops to participate.

· For offense, time 2-3 rallies to arrive simultaneously or nearly simultaneously for maximum effect.
· For defense, send reinforcements between each attack. If multiple rallies are incoming, ensure reinforcements arrive after one rally lands but before the next, to keep the garrison continuously filled.
· Capturing a building doesn't mean the fight is over; it's when the real battle begins.

· Troop ratios may vary depending on the heroes used, but the general recommended ratios are as follows:
· Marksmen are very important for offense but less so for defense.

Type	Infantry	Lancers	Marksmen
Offense	50%	20%	30%
Defense	60%	40%	0%
