This week’s Canyon Clash is a redemption as we unfortunately lost the last one. It was a tough fight but in the end we lost, what you do with a loss shows your true strength. As we grow our opponents will continue to get stronger and tougher. The success was that we finally met the requirements for a second team. In order to keep it for the next we have to have 20 participants on the first team each earn a minimum of 2,000 points. So make sure your on time and ready to have fun.
Team 1 | Old Farts + Superwoman
Squad A ( Beacon )
- Jo3
- XxLionHeartxX
- TSO
- Scott Coyle, Sr.
- Sicario
The plan for squad a is quite simple, during the prep period Jo3 will assign a location for each of us to go to. Our sole job is to kill time near the beacon and wait for the beacon, 5 minutes before the beacon is to appear we will set up for it. Jo3 made it very clear that all three/four of your tanks need to be ready to grab the beacon and travel together. That way when you drop it you’ll have two more ready to go.
Squad B ( High Points Buildings )
- LockeCole
- yoMommasFav
- GirthQuakes
- Icepra
- Zoe56
Squad B is responsible for solely capturing all the high point producing buildings. The first phase is Field Hospitals and the second is Military Bases. As shown by last week if it takes a while to get the beacon it doesn’t matter if we don’t have any of the high point producing buildings. Is this saying you can’t grab a refinery here or there. No feel free but don’t waste troops on a battle as your primary focus needs to be on retaining the four high point producing buildings.
Squad C ( Canyon Captain / Beast )
- ARC002
- Manny
- raysapet
- Jöhnny
- Pandawhite
Squad C is another reliable pairing of stronger players who main role is to attack the Canyon Captain when it appears in the top right of the map. During the non-beast times feel free to gobble up buildings and mines close to you.
Squad D ( Wreck Havock )
- Don
- Gabriel
- Brooks
- Popeye
This is the smallest squad but also the most likely to bring the most chaos to the battlefield for our opponents. There is no restriction on what y’all are to do. I would suggest helping out when needed but the main goal is to keep as many of the opponents busy as possible. Remember hit their HQ’s only when their units are outside. Target mainly their tanks/jeeps as that is the best k/d ratio. Above all else, have fun with it you group of mad chaos bandits. An Italian, Brit, American and a Dutchman walk into a bar… o7 only thing missing is a German or a Russian lol
Team 2 | New Kids on the Block
As we have never needed a second team this will be for all those who did not participate with the Old Farts and Superwoman. That being said go out there and have fun, learn to play the game. This is the best place to because it does not matter what kind of damage you sustain or how many troops you lose because think of this like a war game simulation. You won’t lose any RSS, and in reality you don’t actually lose any troops. So don’t waste diamonds on healing or any Speed UPS.
Goals / Purpose
The objective is to get as many points as possible, the two main ways you do that is capturing and retaining the four larger point producing buildings, beat the s*** out of the Canyon Captain ( Beast ) and recover the beacon.
Point Producing Buildings
There are four levels to the point producing buildings. The top level highest producing is also the last to open, Military Bases. The second to top is the Field Hospitals, they open immediately. The third are the Water Refineries. The lowest team points but highest personal points are the mines. That last one is if you got nothing better to do and none of the other things are being attacked, there are many mines throughout the map and they all open and close a different times.
- Military Bases
- Field Hospitals
- Water Refineries
- Mines
Canyon Captain ( Beast )
Approximately every 5 to 10 minutes he will appear in the top right corner of the map. You get points by simply attacking it, eventually you will kill it and the highest scorer gets MVP for that round.
Beacon
This is usually what decides the winner. It’s 100,000 points if you manage to bring it back to your corner. At roughly halfway through the game it will appear. If you don’t get it there is a chance you can still win. You’ll want to capture it and bring it to the far corner of your base. Jo3 encourages learning how to operate with three of your tanks together. Unfortunately the game mechanic makes your tank with the beacon move insanely slow. So part of what we do besides having all three of your tanks right next to each other is we stagger our bases from the beacon to the far corner of the base.
Spectators ( non-partisipants )
If you’re not participating in either team one or team two we highly encourage you to be involved by spectating. As we can use all the extra eyes we can get. Each Canyon Clash is communicated with Alliance Chat. So if you want to watch it for the first time go ahead and do that.
