Major Things You Should Know
The new battle type pits 16 players against each other and AI-controlled monsters on the gigantic Polygon map.
You start out alone, but you can gather a team of up to three ships directly in battle.
For destroying monsters and other players, you'll get a temporary resource—Battle Points. Having accumulated a certain number of Battle Points in one battle, you’ll unlock the ability to reinforce your ship directly in that battle. However, upgrading your ship in battle will not actually spend Points—all earned Points will appear in your Port regardless of any upgrades made in battle.
The Battle Points you accrue can be exchanged for various rewards in the Armory.
As you get closer to the center of the map, you'll find a specially marked monster with a key. After destroying the monster, you'll receive its key. This will allow you to exit the map via the Portal.
When all the keys have been used or the Portal is closed, the remaining ships will be transported to a special area—the Octagon. The final battle takes place in a gradually shrinking combat zone. The last surviving ship will also leave the Polygon successfully.
Successfully escaping the Polygon will bring you additional Battle Points.
Each of the three ships offers a wide variety of modules that can have a significant impact on gameplay.
Tips
Try different combinations of modules and armaments—you can assemble a ship that's to your liking. Don't be afraid to experiment—you need to act unpredictably on the Polygon.
Destroy the first monsters you encounter and upgrade your ship as quickly as possible. This will give you an advantage in encounters with other players.
It's not necessary to immediately attack players—the reward you would receive for attacking them at the beginning of the battle is minimal.
As you get closer to the center of the map, the monsters will become more dangerous, but you'll also receive more Battle Points for destroying them.
If you don't have enough keys for the entire Division, be prepared for the fact that your new comrades are highly likely to become enemies as you try to head for the Portal.
Divisions are also active in the final battle in the Octagon. But the winner will be the last ship afloat.
Rewards
The Battle Points you earn in battle can be exchanged for various rewards in the Armory. In addition, new Commanders with 10 skill points and bundles with Commanders from the Halloween events of previous years can be obtained in in the Armory in exchange for doubloons.
Please note: Battle Points can be exchanged for rewards in the Armory only until the end of the Key Battle event. After the end of the event, they will be exchanged for credits at the rate of 1 Battle Point : 75 credits.
