How to obtain: Silver is earned when you obtain items, defeat Thief Goblins in the battlefield, and when all gameplay has completed.

Where to use: Costs 100 silver to select and take items. 

 
Description: Use the matchlock to aim and fire to inflict damage 
How to use: The matchlock ignores the enemies’ armor and can inflict around -2,000 damage.

※ The matchlock also knocks over the enemy so you can continue attacking them further.


You can take items obtained in the battlefield into other matches, as you will obtain items in your inventory by achieving certain points from defeating heroes or monsters.

■ Take out items (End Game screen)
After the match has ended, you are shown 3 of the items you obtained in the current arena at random.

※ Items in your inventory at the moment of death on the battlefield.




Spend 100 silver to view the 3 random items, choose 1, then click the [Seal] button to take it away.

■ Using Sealed Items
The sealed item you’ve taken away will be available to view in your storage.
You can select 1 item from your storage to take into different battles.

You cannot use sealed items immediately in battle
but you can break the seal if you carry out special missions listed on the right side of your screen.
These special missions involve defeating monsters or other players to gather points.Once you meet the amount of points required by a certain item’s rank, you can obtain that item.

※ Items are automatically sent to your inventory.

1. Recruit Team Members and Start

In Team Battle, you need to either recruit other players or add players in your friend list to start.
(However, you can play by yourself  in Team Battle, and you can receive more rewards when you complete your game.)

Click the + button to invite players in your friend list or match automatically

Once all players have been invited, the Party Leader can press the Start Game button to move to select their hero.


Select the items you wish to bring to the arena in the Sealed Box, then press Ready to enter.[
However, other members of your team need to be ready as well. You can check their status on the lower right-hand corner.

 

2. Tips for Team Battle

1. Use the Minimap/Worldmap
In Team mode, you can see your team member’s location on the minimap (upper right-hand corner) and worldmap (Tab). Use the maps to plan out your strategy together with your team.

2. Throw Items Away
Open your Inventory (I) to discard gear and consumables with Shift + Left Click or by dragging them.
Items thrown away on the ground can be looted by your team member. 
However, be wary that characters not in your team can also loot them as well.

※ When one team member shares items they don’t need with another, they can collect items to combine into and obtain high-rank items. 


3. Revive Team Member
▲ 6 min after the game starts, you will see the above notification that the Relic of Revival has appeared.


▲Destroy the Relic of Revival that appears in the shrine in the center to revive fallen team members.

After a team member dies, and you destroy the Relic of Revival that appears 6 min after the game has started, you can interact with the Shadow Shrine. Interact with the Shadow Shrine to revive your team member. Also, the person who revived the team member will slowly recover all of their health.

※ After you destroy the Relic of Revival, it will reappear after a certain amount of time.
