Ultimate Swordland Showdown Full Guide
If you’re feeling lazy and prefer watching over reading, no worries! Just kick back and watch this video for all the info you need. 😄😄 But hey, if you’re the type who wants the summery, scroll down below the video and dive into the text about the event.
🔰 Event Overview
Swordland Showdown is a large-scale alliance PvP event with two key goals:
-
Alliance Victory (Alliance Relic Points)
-
Personal Rewards (Personal Relic Points)
Winning the match is not the only thing that matters — your real goal is to maximize total rewards, both for yourself and your alliance.
⚙️ 1. Event Mechanics & Scoring System
🏅 Main Concepts
-
Alliance Relic Points determine whether your alliance is in the winner’s or loser’s bracket.
-
Personal Relic Points determine your individual reward tier inside that bracket.
🧮 How You Earn Points
There are 4 main activities that give relic points:
| Activity | Alliance Points | Personal Points | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Building Capture & Holding | ✅ | ✅ (½ of alliance pts) | First capture = big bonus; continuous holding = steady gain. |
| Arsenal Supplies (Loot Crates) | ✅ | ✅ | Spawn when a building changes ownership. First to loot gets the points. |
| Undercellars | ✅ | ✅ | Appear later in battle; act like resource nodes giving steady slow points. |
| Combat (Killing Troops) | ❌ | ✅ only | Attacking: 80 pts /10k power killed; Defending: 40 pts /10k power. |
💡 Tip: Top-tier personal rewards need ~180,000 personal relic points. Building occupation alone can’t reach that — you must fight and loot actively.
🕹️ 2. Pre-Event Preparation
🧭 Alliance Setup
-
Choose your Legion wisely — two per alliance.
-
Legion 1: Determines overall alliance ranking/rewards.
-
Legion 2: Affects only personal rewards.
-
-
Coordination and attendance matter more than numbers.
⚙️ Pre-Match Tips
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1. Clear infirmary before battle | You can’t enter with injured troops. |
| 2. Exit-to-Heal Trick | Leaving the field heals all troops instantly but adds a 12-min cooldown. Use this instead of wasting heal speedups if you have massive injuries. |
| 3. Free Advanced Teleport | Recharges over time — use aggressively. March speedups also recharge up to 30. |
| 4. Voice Communication | Use Discord or another call app. Typing in chat is too slow. |
| 5. Chat Setup | Remind members that “Legion Chat” opens separately from alliance chat. |
| 6. Alliance Labels | Leaders should pre-mark key objectives (Shrines, Sanctums, etc.). |
🧠 Matchmaking Tactics (Controversial)
-
Smaller Alliances can sometimes sandbag matchmaking by signing up fewer players (e.g., 15 instead of 30).
This can pit them against weaker or smaller groups — but use responsibly. -
Do not skip signups randomly; each inactive signup makes your team weaker.
💪 Buffs & Boosts
-
Castle Appointments: Give to your strongest players.
-
Pet Recharge Bonuses: Always use (they’re free).
-
Consumables: Use attack/HP buffs if you’re competitive.
→ For strong alliances, gems spent here are usually worth the increased relic coins and shards.
⚔️ 3. Battle Strategy by Situation
🟢 A. When You’re Clearly Stronger (Easy Win)
Your risk: Not enough combat or loot crates = low personal points.
✅ What To Do:
-
Let weaker members grab loot crates or engage enemies after you reach 180k points.
-
Teleport near enemy safe zone to provoke fights.
-
Message enemy players — propose “mutual combat” to trade points.
-
Allow some buildings to flip ownership to trigger loot crate spawns.
🚫 What Not To Do:
-
Don’t sit idle at captured buildings the entire match.
-
Don’t hoard all the loot crates — share so all alliance members reach max rewards.
🔴 B. When You’re Clearly Weaker (Unwinnable Match)
Your goal: Farm personal relic points.
✅ What To Do:
-
Teleport next to any enemy you can beat → launch all marches.
-
Target lightly defended bases or buildings.
-
Keep attacking even if you lose — you earn defensive points too.
-
After troops fall, exit → wait 12 min → rejoin fully healed → repeat.
🚫 What Not To Do:
-
Don’t hide in your safe zone waiting for “perfect timing.”
-
Don’t reinforce doomed buildings — focus on your own score.
🟡 C. Even Match (Victory Possible)
Your success depends on Alliance Coordination.
Team Roles (like an MMO raid):
| Role | Main Job | Who Should Play |
|---|---|---|
| Tank | Hold key outposts, defend garrisons, reinforce allies. | Defensive heroes & strong players. |
| DPS | Attack enemies/cities, wipe troops, flip buildings for loot crates. | Top whales or best-geared players. |
| Support | Reinforce tanks, help in rallies, collect loot crates, mine undercellars. | Free-to-play or mid players. |
🛡️ Tank Role Details
-
Prioritize Sword Shrine and Sanctums, but don’t overcommit to Shrine only — it’s just 25% of total occupation points.
-
Buildings with special buffs:
-
🏇 Stables: Teleport recharge reduction.
-
🔔 Bell Tower: Faster building capture.
-
⚔️ Hall of Reformation: +15% damage dealt / −15% taken.
-
🪖 Mercenary Camp: Lowest priority (AI kills don’t give points).
-
💡 Tank Tips
-
Don’t park directly beside the buildings you’re defending — enemies can hit your city.
-
Work in pairs: reinforce each other’s cities and garrisons.
-
Use partial marches to hold multiple nearby buildings efficiently.
💥 DPS Role Details
-
Seek and destroy strong enemy players early.
-
Teleport into clusters of enemies for max chaos and kills.
-
Focus on cities first, then buildings with long occupation times for huge loot crate value.
-
Toward endgame: switch to attacking long-held outposts → triggers large crate spawns.
💡 DPS Tips
-
Solo for speed; rallies for high-defense buildings.
-
Exit/rejoin trick saves speedups and restores troops.
-
Near match end, coordinate 2–3 simultaneous rallies for key building flips.
🧩 Support Role Details
-
Reinforce Tanks’ garrisons.
-
Join DPS rallies.
-
Focus on collecting loot crates and undercellars (especially phase 3).
-
Stay mobile — teleport near who you’re helping, but avoid exposing your city.
-
If attacked:
-
Send troops to encampments.
-
Let your city burn → teleport back safely with all troops.
-
-
Use march speedups freely (they recharge).
💡 Support Mindset
-
You’re the alliance’s “glue.”
Fast reaction > raw strength. -
Prioritize coordination and awareness.
💎 4. Reward Optimization & Resource Management
| Category | Tip |
|---|---|
| Goal | 180,000+ personal relic points for top-tier rewards. |
| Reward Efficiency | Top of losing bracket > bottom of winning bracket — focus on your own rank! |
| Healing Strategy | Use exit-to-heal instead of speedups whenever possible. |
| Buff ROI | Attack/HP buffs often repay themselves through extra shards and relic coins. |
| Teleporter Cost | Each use before recharge finishes costs more — use Stables buff to offset. |
✅ Do’s and Don’ts Summary
✅ DO:
-
Clear infirmary and troops before entering.
-
Communicate and assign Tank/DPS/Support roles.
-
Focus on personal relic points even if losing.
-
Teleport near enemies to trigger combat.
-
Leave/rejoin to heal instead of using resources.
-

Over-reinforce buildings just to “win.”
-
Ignore undercellars or crates — they’re key to points.
-
Waste speedups when exit-heal works.
-
Stack all buffs on weak players.
-
Park city directly beside defended buildings.
🏆 Final Advice
