CANYON CLASH

Voting

Alliance members vote for their preferred battle time.

The vote is not the final decision. R4/R5 officers select the final time slot.

Registration

R4/R5 selects combatants and substitutes for each Legion.

Before registration closes, officers should confirm:

• the final battle time,
• the active player list,
• Legion assignments,
• the command team,
• the communication channel.

Matchmaking

Each qualified Legion is matched with two opposing alliances.

Substitutes are included in matchmaking. Check the current event help for detailed matchmaking rules.

Battle and Results

The battlefield lasts 60 minutes and has four phases.

After the battle, rewards are calculated from alliance ranking, individual ranking and Personal Merits.

Alliance Requirements

To participate, an alliance must:

• be in the top 20 of the Alliance Power Leaderboard,
• register at least 15 combatants and substitutes in total for each Legion,
• complete registration before the deadline.

Legion 1 is available by default.

To unlock Legion 2, the alliance needs:

• Alliance Level 6 or higher,
• at least 40 members who logged in during the current week.

An alliance can register no more than two Legions.

Legion 1 and Legion 2 may select different battle time slots. Their battles, results and rewards are calculated separately.

Player Requirements

A player must:

• join the alliance before the Registration Phase,
• have Furnace Level 16 or higher,
• meet the current activity requirements,
• be selected by R4/R5.

A member who has been offline for five days or more cannot normally be selected unless that player was already dispatched before becoming inactive.

For one Legion, R4/R5 can select up to:

• 30 combatants,
• 10 substitutes.

Build Legion 1

Legion 1 should receive the strongest reliable roster because Alliance Ranking Rewards depend only on Legion 1’s final ranking.

Prioritize:

• players who confirmed attendance,
• active R4/R5 officers,
• players who follow map marks,
• players with stable connections,
• players who can stay for the full battle.

Build Legion 2

Create Legion 2 only when it has:

• enough active participants,
• a clear commander,
• enough support players,
• a working communication plan.

One organized Legion is better than two badly prepared Legions.

Main Commander

Makes the final strategic decisions.

The Main Commander decides:

• the opening plan,
• when to attack or defend,
• when to change routes,
• when to focus on Fortresses,
• how many squads should move toward the Frozen Citadel.

Left-Side Commander

Controls the left route and nearby objectives.

Reports:

• enemy movement,
• empty buildings,
• weak defensive queues,
• requests for support.

Right-Side Commander

Controls the right route and nearby objectives.

This role has the same responsibilities on the opposite side of the map.

Fuel and Guardian Coordinator

Controls Guardian assignments and monitors Fuel needs.

This officer should:

• assign Guardians to useful buildings,
• move the role when another player needs the bonus,
• avoid leaving it on an inactive player,
• remind the Legion to save Fuel.

Map Observer

Watches the full battlefield.

The Map Observer warns the team when:

• an enemy alliance changes direction,
• a route becomes unprotected,
• the third alliance attacks an exposed building,
• too many friendly squads gather at one objective.

Opening Plan

The opening plan should define:

• the first neutral buildings,
• left and right routes,
• which players move first,
• which players remain as support,
• where the strongest squads are needed.

Backup Plan

The backup plan should explain what to do against a much stronger opponent.

Possible responses include:

• defend the safest route,
• stop repeated attacks on an impossible target,
• score against the less protected alliance,
• protect several useful buildings,
• preserve Fuel for the final phase.

Fuel

Fuel is the main action resource in Canyon Clash.

It recovers naturally every minute.

Fuel is used for actions such as:

• deploying squads,
• moving between objectives,
• advancing or retreating,
• conscripting troops,
• reviving defeated squads immediately.

Longer routes require more time and Fuel.

Attacking buildings inside another faction’s area requires additional Fuel.

Save Fuel for Key Moments

Do not spend all your Fuel at the beginning.

Keep a reserve for:

• urgent defense,
• Fortress battles,
• the Frozen Citadel phase,
• instant revival when a squad is urgently needed,
• emergency movement ordered by R4.

Guardians

R4/R5 officers can appoint a Guardian for an occupied building.

A player with a squad stationed inside the building can also appoint themselves.

A Guardian receives additional Fuel every minute. Different buildings may provide different Fuel bonuses.

One player can be the Guardian of only one building at a time.

Guardian status and its Fuel bonus are removed when:

• the alliance loses the building,
• the player leaves the battlefield,
• the assignment is changed.

Guardian status is not restored automatically after returning to the battlefield.

Manage Guardian Assignments

Guardian assignments should be managed actively.

Change the Guardian when:

• another player needs the Fuel bonus,
• the current Guardian leaves the area,
• the current Guardian becomes inactive,
• the building is no longer important,
• the alliance is preparing for a major movement.

Dismiss

Dismiss removes the troops from the selected event squad and sends the squad to the Bastion for revival.

Use it only when there is a clear tactical reason. The squad will become temporarily unavailable.

Revival

A defeated squad revives at the Bastion after a countdown.

Fuel can be used for instant revival.

Do not use instant revival automatically after every defeat.

Use it when the squad is urgently needed for:

• defending a threatened building,
• a Fortress battle,
• the Frozen Citadel,
• a final score push.

Conscript

Conscript replenishes troops lost by an event squad.

It can be used only when the squad is stationed inside a building that is not currently in combat.

Conscript uses Fuel and event replenishment items.

Remember that Canyon Clash uses copies of your real troops. Event losses do not remove troops from your actual army.

Confirmed Buffs That Work

• Position Buffs,
• Pet Buffs,
• Territory Buffs,
• combat-related City Buffs,
• Facility Buffs.

Faction-region buildings may also provide bonuses to friendly alliance members and penalties to invading enemies.

The Bastion does not provide these faction-building effects.

Confirmed Buffs That Do Not Work

• March Speed,
• Deployment Capacity.

Before the Battle

1. Confirm the final battle time.
2. Convert it correctly to your local time.
3. Enter several minutes early.
4. Prepare three strong, complete squads.
5. Read your assigned side or role.
6. Open the agreed communication channel.
7. Make sure your connection is stable.
8. Use only buffs that work in Canyon Clash.

During the Battle

Follow Marks: Move toward the objective selected by R4. Do not start a private attack because a nearby building looks weak.

Save Fuel: Avoid unnecessary movement and instant revival.

Fill Useful Queues: A weaker squad can still delay an enemy, protect an empty building, strengthen a defensive queue or keep a route open.

Protect the Map: Do not move all three squads to the same target unless ordered. A Legion needs players who attack, defend and support.

Alliance Ranking Rewards

Alliance Ranking Rewards depend only on Legion 1’s final ranking.

Legion 2 has its own result, but it does not determine the alliance-wide ranking reward.

Personal Ranking Rewards

Personal Ranking Rewards are calculated separately for Legion 1 and Legion 2.

A player must reach at least 10,000 Personal Merits to qualify for Personal Ranking Rewards.

Personal Merit Rewards

Personal Merit Rewards depend on:

• the player’s Personal Merit total,
• the final ranking of that player’s Legion.

Exact reward items and quantities are not listed because they may change with event editions or server development.
