The Basics of SvS
SvS stands for Server versus Server. It is a cross-server competition where two servers face off in a variety of challenges to earn points. Players contribute by defeating monsters, attacking enemy players, and occupying key structures. The server that earns the most points wins, gaining glory and rewards for its participants.
How Does SvS Work?
SvS is a structured event that occurs on a weekly or bi-weekly basis. Participating servers are paired against one another based on their power rankings. Each server has specific objectives that can earn points. These objectives include:
- Killing enemy troops: Points are awarded based on the number and tier of troops defeated.
- Defeating monsters: Special event monsters appear during SvS and yield significant points when defeated.
- Occupying structures: Structures such as the Ares Statue offer points to the occupying server.
- Defending your server: Successfully repelling enemy attacks earns points and protects your server’s ranking.
What is the Goal of SvS?
The primary goal of SvS is to earn as many points as possible to secure victory for your server. However, the event also serves broader purposes:
- Strengthening alliances: Alliances work together to coordinate attacks and defenses.
- Testing strategies: Players can experiment with troop layering and advanced battle tactics.
- Winning rewards: Both individual and server-wide rewards are granted based on performance.
Who Can Participate?
Any player on the participating servers can join the SvS event. While stronger players often take on the offensive role, newer players can still contribute by gathering resources or helping with server defense. The event is a collective effort, and every contribution matters.
