Campaign Stronghold NM's and Battlefields

Spirascnmv12.jpg

Invading Campaign strongholds is an opportunity for players to decrease the strength of the Beastmen Confederate's forces, increase the strength of their own nation, as well as obtaining special items and equipment. Defeating challenging Notorious Monsters is the task, with the ultimate goal of defeating the special Battlefield in the end. Throughout the three stronghold areas, there are 8 different NM's, each one corresponds to a Campaign statistic; funds, resources, supplies, reconnaissance, skill, production, morale, and prosperity. When defeated, they will always drop their sealed container, and have a chance to drop equipment. The containers are rare/exclusive and can be traded in for a key item. Trading in containers will also increase one of the nation's statistics.

All of the NM's seem to have a respawn time of roughly 4~6 hours.Verification Needed Once the 8 key items from a stronghold have been obtained, players will be able to enter a battlefield within the stronghold. That battlefield can reward more equipment.

Once you've recieved a sealed container from the NM, return to the appropriate nation. Trade it to one of the following NPC's for the key item:


The BCNM entrances to these areas are as follows:

    • Kamaitachi - AOE, Strong Knockback, Dispels all Buffs

    • Tzee Xicu does not appear to spawn any avatars.
    • Once dead, the wind elementals will not re-spawn.
    • Uses Astral Flow multiple times but if elementals are dead, they will not re-spawn nor will the Astral Flow have any noticeable effect
    • May have a partial hate reset move Verification Needed
  • Possible Strategy
    • Can kite along the top circular ramp area.
    • Come up along either side (as opposed to using the center ramps), there are ramps to the left and to the right on the ground level. This way, the kiting can start without having to initially run through Tzee Xicu and its elementals.
    • Seems to run at normal speed. Verification Needed
    • The kiting area has several places where the kiter can get stuck.
