How to Join

[J] - [Events] - [Vanguard Trials]

The [Vanguard Trials] theme maps include:

Wall Fort, Sun City, Hidden City, Harbour City Siege, Dasuo Fort

These five classic maps feature distinct terrains and completely different tactical focuses:

Wall Fort

The forward stockade is narrow, but the C point Frontier Fort is open and easily covered by ranged fire.

Top Picks: [Ranged (Bow) + Cavalry + Bracing Units] for maximum flexibility.

Sun City

The two widely separated main gates require rapid mobile support. The internal crossroad is open, and the final capture point has a two-tier structural layout.

Top Picks: [Cavalry + Infantry + Mortar].

Hidden City

Defense is heavily concentrated at the main gate, while the roads within the city are straight with abundant Supply Points.

Top Picks: [Buckler Units + Bracing Units].

Harbour City Siege

The outer field is extremely spacious, providing ample room for maneuverability between the main and side gates, and the city interior offers abundant flanking routes.

Top Picks: [Cavalry + Pike Units + Shield Units + Arquebus Units].

Dasuo Fort

Upon entering the city, the passage becomes extremely narrow, leaving you exposed to crossfire from double walls on both sides; inside, there is a massive open area between points B and C.

Top Picks: [Shield Units + Ranged (Bow) Units + Buckler Units].

Without 5-star Units, which units will you pick? What new strategies will you bring to the table?

We look forward to seeing your tactical brilliance on the battlefield, Warlords!
