Greeting Commanders,

The server maintenance will take about 3 hours and be held on:
00:50 July 26 PDT
07:50 July 26 GMT
15:50 July 26 GMT+8


Push yourself to survive on and dominate this cursed planet!

1) Opening Time
July 26 after patch - 09:00 September 27 GMT

2) Rules

• The Cursed Planet is only available in 2v2 mode. Players are not allowed to use runes.
  
• Each team can only ban 1 commander skill and 1 unit respectively.
  
• In the Cursed Planet, all units are affected by the battlefield since spawned: maximum HP is reduced by 10%, armor is reduced by 2, and cloaked units are visible to non-detectors.
  
• Each turret of both sides will generate a healing field, which grants allies within 6% HP regeneration per second and prevent their maximum HP and armor from being affected by the battlefield. Note that units in the healing field of the opposite side will not get such buff.
  
• If one team loses any turret, this team's next wave of troops will get infuriated: attack speed is increased by 50%, attack damage is increased by 15, and the effects last until these troops are killed.
  
• In the final stage, all turrets, if there is any, will start to move and fight, and continue to generate healing field.
