Server Versus Server (SVS)

Introduction:

Server Versus Server (SVS) occurs every 2 weeks, and lasts for an entire week. This is when two servers are matched together, and put against each other, with only one victor.

During this week, each server will go up against each other in monarch competitions – similar to standard monarch competitions, but the highest score of each event results in a point towards SVS. The first five events occur in a random order, although the last event is always SVS war – which is similar to KE.

SVS War is where players from either server have to defend, and attack each others server in order to gain scores to gain victory. The server with the highest score at the end of the war gains 2 points towards the overall SVS score. SVS pvp works very uniquely compared to normal PVP, so I recommend reading this entire guide if it is your first time.

Eligibility:

A server should be 60 days old, and have had at least one king. To teleport to the enemy server, you should be k7+.

Monarch Competition:

All monarch competitions are played during SVS week (as oppose to 4 in a normal week), although the order remains random, with the exception that KE is always last.

• City Development – Upgrade Building and Research
• Monster Kill – Kill Monsters / Bosses
• Resource Gathering – Gather Resources
• Troop Training – Build Troops
• Power Increase – Gain Monarch Power
• Kill Event – Kill Enemy Troops

For a comprehensive breakdown of points allocation, I would suggest checking in-game. I don’t want to overwhelm you too much at the moment! For further information on monarch competitions in general, check out our guide for it.

Server War:

Overview

Server war is a 48 hour period where two servers may attack each other. It requires your entire server to work together in order to beat your enemy server, progress through the rankings, and gain rewards.

Teleport to Enemy Server

At the start of every SVS, you will receive a mail containing 4 enemy server teleports. Upon use you will be teleported to a random location on the enemy server. During this time, you will be given a temporary bubble for 5 minutes. Whilst you are on the enemy server, your keep and subs are safe on your server (they cannot be attacked).

Your bubble will act like a normal one, meaning you are fine to kill bosses for points without it dropping, although once you commit to pvp, or your 5 minute timer is up, you are all alone. You cannot bubble in the enemy server!

To bubble again, you must teleport back to your server. The only way to teleport back to your server is to use an advance teleport (or use gems), or be force ported. Random teleports do not work!

Objectives

• Defend your Throne – Defend your throne and stop the enemy from stealing your points. Losing the throne will result in a 50% loss of your servers points, which is then given to the enemy server.
• Capture Enemy Throne – Attack the enemy throne and steal their points. Conquering their throne will result in stealing 50% of their servers points.
• Defend your Temples – Defend temples from the enemies. If they occupy temples it will give them points every single second. Temples offer a variety of buffs, or debuffs, depending if a server successfully, or unsuccessfully, defends the temples. If you successfully defend a temple, after svs chests containg gems, resources, speedups, and materials shall spawn around it. If you lose a temple, but win server war, then you won’t receive any debuffs.

• Capture Enemy Temples – Capturing enemy temples is a great way to force the enemy to pvp, and also you will be rewarded with 150-2,000 score per second (minimum march size 5 million power). See ‘Earning Points’ below for more information
• Kill Enemy Troops – Killing enemy troops (whilst not loosing too many of your own!) is typically the main way of winning svs, and usually a by product of fighting for throne and temples. An easy way for beginners to be involved in pvp is by searching the map for resource tiles with enemy troops present. Note, you only gain points for killing enemy server troops (not someone from your servers).
• Visit Ares and Fire Spirits – Visit as many Ares Statues and Fire Spirits as possible. This will give your server scores, for a breakdown of this please see ‘Earning Points’ below.

Earning Points

Temples

When occupy a temple on an enemy server, you shall receive 150 points per second if you have a minimum march power of 5 million. For every 1 million additional march power, you shall receive an additional 37 points per second, up to a maximum of 2,000 points per second. Therefore, a 55 million march power is required to receive maximum points per second.

Throne

When occupy the throne on an enemy server, you shall receive 750 points per second if you have a minimum march power of 9.5 million. For every 1 million additional march power, you shall receive an additional 100 points per second, up to a maximum of 10,000 points per second. Therefore, a 102 million march power is required to receive maximum points per second.

If a throne is conquered by an enemy server, the conquering server receives 50% of the svs points from the server that lost their throne. This is frequently decides the winner in svs, so it is vital to hold onto your throne!

Troops

Killing enemy server troops will result in points, regardless of where the battles happens (your server or theirs). Killing troops from a player in your server will not result in any points.

Bosses

Killing enemy server bosses will result in points, only on their server. Killing bosses from your server will not result in any points.

Monsters

Killing enemy server monsters will result in points, only on their server. Killing monsters from your server will not result in any points.

Ares & Fire Spirit

Around both servers, ares statues and fire spirits will appear. These will gain you different scores depending on what server you are on. An ares statue cost 20 stamina to consume, and a fire spirit cost 2.

Rewards:

Healing Troops

During server war, your hospital capacity is increased by 50%.

Once your hospital reaches its limit, your troops will not die like normal pvp, but shall instead be placed in the “Revive” section of your hospital (shall appear when you have troops present here. Initially the troops can be healed for resources, although very quickly you will need to consume an item called Source of Life. This item is hard to obtain, and just one of these cost 1,000 gems. They can be given as rewards from various events, or bought in packs.

Your troops will still die like normal pvp, and can be revived from the shrine.

Considerations

• Purge – Most servers hold a ‘purge’ before svs begins. This is a period where any players, regardless of alliance, gets killed if they are without a bubble or on a farm tile etc. This is to reduce the amount of points thrown away to the enemy server. Often a purge time is announced in the King’s mail prior to svs.
• Loss – Should one of your servers temples be captured, you will suffer a debuff. These debuffs depend on what temple has been captured. More information can be found in-game (Note: Temples are found West, North, and East on the map, there is no South temple).
• FP Technique – If an enemy keep is ghosted on your server, I recommend having one person force port them, and another waiting on their server to either hit their subs (if it is linked), or using an Arrest Warranty quickly and hitting them before they can bubble.
• Keep Decoration – Keeps that have entered the enemy server will look noticeable different. They have a black appearance and really stand out.
• Wings – Finishing within the top 5 of your server (sometimes top 10), will unlock Ares wings. These wings give you the ability to unlock Wonder level 1 (assuming you have met the other requirements).
• Conqueror – Should a player successfully capture an enemy servers throne, they are regarded as a conqueror (as opposed to King). They will have the ability to hand out titles, and the servers whose throne was conquered shall receive a 50% loss of points at the end of svs, which the server that conquered the throne shall receive. Fun Fact: Should you be both King and Conqueror, you can receive King Wings (Monarch Glory) in just one day!
